Baek Guem Ji’s story is actually based on a real incident. Bearing the son of a high profile politician & her assasination… those were real life events. Look up Jeong In Sook’s murder case.

He’s going to appear in episodes 5&6. I think his character is more prominent in season 2.

I don’t have much faith in the director , so the acting will have to carry this drama.

I’m on episode 4, so far I’m enjoying it.

PCW tried really hard to make his film more accessible like Bong, but failed miserably.

Really disappointing. Watched it in IMAX and by the halfway point, I was super bored. It’s more one of those movies where the plot drives the characters instead of the other way around. None of the characters have any real depth—just there to move the story along. Honestly, it could’ve been cut down to like 90-100 minutes. Lee Byung Hun was good, but it’s not one of his best performance.

This drama feels like a movie—super high-quality, no boring filler scenes, and the acting is really good all the way through. They don’t use that blurry filter you see in most Kdramas, so you can see all their imperfections and skin texture. If you’re into intense political stories with lots of drama, you'll probably enjoy it.

Great start. Feels like a movie marathon instead of a drama. Hyunbin has insane leading man energy….his gaze & ambition is just cutting right through the screen.
