First Impression: I initially thought this would take on a typical drama formula like every drama before it and was intrigued that there were two women involved and thought it would involved a love triangle between two women and one man, which honestly wouldn't have been too bad because it's always two men and one woman. At least it would've been interesting. But after watching the first two episodes I figured out the dynamic between the two women and one man, which made it even more interesting.

STORY: So, without revealing too much of the story itself, this drama is kind of based on a sort of cat and mouse game of catch. It's definitely a different kind of drama in Dramaland. Lots of previously successful dramas are romance-heavy. I mean THIC! Haha! But this was light on the romance but not non-existent. But I don't dislike this new emergence of dramas though because it's something to look forward to in future dramas. In the past, dramas were either categorized in three categories. Historical/period. Romance/drama. Or family/soap operas. It wasn't a very diverse place when it came to entertainment. But as of recently, I've noticed that dramas have started to become more adventurous and expand/develop into different combination of genres. Now, there are several horror/suspense dramas whereas before it horror was only subjected in movie forms. Now, there is fantasy/time-travel. And now, My Fellow Citizens, which is a decent combination of comedy, cop/police, political and light romance. The drama focuses more on the push-and-pull dynamic between male and mob female characters is our story, but also has a second storyline that focuses on the marriage and life of husband and wife. You've got to admit, it's rare to find two storylines that actually carry an equal amount of screentime and focus. Most times, dramas had a main storyline and a side storyline as their "second" plot but is obviously not shown as much as the main and only sprinkled here and there. I like that the writer was able to weave two together in a good balance without overpowering the other.

Anyways, the only gripe I had with this drama though was the way the drama filled in the middle with it's ups and downs. The filler part of the drama wasn't terrible but it did seem repetitive after a while with the cat-and-mouse game. Another reason why I gave this drama a 7.5 instead of 8 was the ending because it seemed a tad rushed. I wasn't UN-satisfied, but, I wasn't entirely satisfied either.

ACTING/CAST: Great casting! I was actually excited to see Kim Min Jung in another drama because I enjoy her acting in past dramas, and really liked her comedic/villainous acting in this, a lot! There were moments where she was scary because of her association with the mob, and times where she did have a sort of comedic flair that was humorous but not super flamboyant. It was subtle! And I loved watching it!

Siwon was actually a bonus and very much see how much he has improved in his acting. I've seen him in two previous dramas before and his acting skills have improved lots! I saw him in Oh! My Lady (when I was on a noona romance bender, haha) and The King of Dramas. I know he was in more dramas than that, but to be honest, I didn't see me liking those dramas if I watched it because of how gimmicky it looked, or I already knew what was going to happen. Although I did see a couple of clips from his drama, She Was Pretty, and he has amazing comedic skills! His expressions are so on point and hilarious and see how fitting he is for this role in this drama. I really hope that after My Fellow Citizens! Siwon will be able to pick and choose better dramas that will challenge and expand his acting career because I see great potential to become a good actor.

Lee Yoo Young, I've only seen once in Tunnel. I enjoyed her acting in that drama, but that it seemed a bit bland. Here, I do see she's improved but also see that she needs a little more work. I can't really say much beyond this because I haven't seen much of her, but I think she can become better over time as all people do when honing a craft!

MUSIC: I'm not picky about music but I loved the music score that they picked for this drama! Especially that comedic soundtrack when things got hinky. It's fitting, hilarious and enhances the scenes comedy! Spot on soundtrack!

OVERALL: I think of this drama as more of a stepping stone towards a more variety of future dramas to come! But, to speak of this drama specifically, I enjoyed it and thought it was well-done overall! It had it's flaws but nothing you can't just turn a blind eye to and enjoy the ride. The pacing was more or less steady and balanced, the character development was nice, and the tone was spot on! People wouldn't think it, but when combining several genres together you really have to make sure atmosphere and tone are balanced and harmonic or else you'll end up with a hot mess and the drama ends up being an angst-y teen that doesn't know what they want to be.

THIS DRAMA IS FOR YOU IF: You like a slice-of-life comedy genres! It's not as slow-paced as a regular slice-of-life and has a faster tempo to it's beat. This drama is about a man that thought he was the big bad, until he was revealed to the world of politics and realized that he was small fry compared to the real villains in the world. With his strong convictions towards his own principles, he ventures to make a change. But is it a change for the better....or worse?
