Largely pointless
Is this a political drama dressed as a rom com? A farce about adultery? A romantic drama about pachinko and politics? Maybe I could accept any of those answers but the truth is that this series has no identity or purpose.
I don't know if it went wrong with the casting or with the script first. In the end my problem was that two thirds of the way through the series I still had found not one likable character. Every single character was too self-absorbed and irresponsible to root for or even take interest in. I felt like I was looking at people aimlessly lying, cheating, or bullying their way through life. Was the funny part supposed to be the revelation that people can't keep it in their pants?
Perhaps the show is a great, cynical ode to the lack of self control but as a comedy it leaves me cold. The ending was basically "okay, fine, good for them, why did I watch this?"
