Tense Political drama

Chief of Staff S1 (2019)

Likes
1. I believe that Jang Tae Jun can fix whatever problem he faces. He's that good at his job. But it is also scary because he can do terrible things but still come out as justifiable and better than the others.
2. I also love Kang Seon Young, she is as sly as Tae Jun but is a lot cleaner in handling things. She also doesnt back away even when against the old bad guys in politics.
3. I actually love them as a couple, i'm impressed that despite being in opposite camps most of the time, they are able to fight back and protect each other. I just find it unbelievable that no one knew of their relationship for 5 years yet each one can dig the dirtiest secret from each other. Lol. They even live in together and no one realized they had the same address?
4. I also like the bad guys.. i think they casted almost all of the usual baddies in dramas. I laos liked the supporting swuad, from Hyewon, who is willing to help Taejun, Manseok as Seonyoung's trusted aide, to Dogyeong the naive intern.
5. I was shocked twice and both were tragic. End of ep 8 when Taejun's mentor killed himself. And last episode when another person died. Totally didnt expect these plot twists. It's like saying you really wont survive politics if you are too clean. You need to be as smart and manipulative as everyone to survive. Even if your intentions are good.

Dislikes
A little stressful watching because every episode was tense and full of backstabbing, blackmailing and too many dirty politics. Do they really want the world to change or are they all just selfish?

Rating: 8.5/10
