Win some or lose some

Hands down for best one of the top political dramas out there. When I say it’s POLITICAL-ING, I mean it dives into some seriously complicated situations. The plot's twists have me hooked, and I often find myself trying to guess the best moves the characters should make to get out of the mess they’re in. You know how sometimes you watch a show and think, “Yeah, this is gonna involve a lot of sacrifices and trade-offs”? I was spot on. The plot sets a dark tone from the start, showing that nothing comes easy and everything has its cost. Just a heads up before you jump in, lol.

The female lead starts off looking all optimistic and a bit naive, but don’t be fooled—she’s super brave and knows how to play the game. She fights for what’s right, and the best part? She’s a total powerhouse who does whatever it takes to tackle tough situations (seriously, I love her). What really makes her shine is that, even when she seems overwhelmed, she’s actually incredibly smart and resourceful. She might not have the connections or privilege others do, but she relies on her instincts and quick thinking to rise to the top, earning trust while still being seen as the public enemy. Now, the male lead? His morally gray character and revenge-driven motives really amp up the drama. He comes in strong, making a big impact right from the start with his sly, calculated moves. He’ll do whatever it takes to reach his goals, even if it means using people as pawns. Trust me, you’ll feel his emotional struggle after 40+ episodes. He’s always torn between saving the people he cares about or throwing them under the bus for a bigger win. So, don’t expect to figure him out—it’ll just leave you drained.

I’m really enjoying how the plot keeps getting more intense as the female lead and male lead pull off their plans. Plus, I love how they show the FL as this “powerful” person that everyone is low-key scared of, lol. The way she rises to the top is so well done. I also appreciate the contrast between their approaches. The FL wants recognition and to make her mark, while the ML prefers to stay low-key to carry out his schemes without drawing attention. You can totally see how the plot and tension will unfold between them and everyone around them. It’s a classic back-and-forth, kind of like a cat-and-mouse game.

As for the ending? I know some of you might have issues with it, but honestly, it fits them perfectly. Think about it: throughout the whole story, they faced tons of challenges and made tough choices, so it makes sense for their journey to wrap up this way. Plus, it adds depth to their characters and the overall story. Sometimes, the most powerful endings are the ones that leave us feeling a mix of emotions, and this one definitely does that.
