A Political Drama in a School Uniform

"I Am a Running Mate" has a fresh concept with student politics at its core, but the execution doesn’t quite deliver. After a decent start, the story slows down with repetitive campaign talk and little real tension. Most side characters are underused, and the romance feels pointless. The ending wraps things up too neatly, skipping over deeper consequences.

While the lead gives a solid performance and the core message is thoughtful, the show overall feels more like a lecture than a drama. Good idea, but too slow, too safe, and not very rewatchable.
