Muddled politics and misogyny galore
I am so confused about this show? How can you be so unclear about your politics when *you are a show about politics*. Sometimes I feel like it has a strong message but then five minutes later it feels like it actually is a parody of the message.
Between this and the insane misogyny of Kang Yohan (misogyny level: the show would last three episodes if he treated women normally, he is The Most Misogynistic Man On Screen Ever, he's like if Gaston Beauty and the Beast was a Korean judge who absolutely refused to talk to a therapist about his trauma, it's so batshit it almost could loop back into being endearing if it wasn't so freaking annoying), I've resolved after about four episodes to watch this like I would watch JJBA, to try and guess what ar ethe four wild plot twists they'll pull per episode. However, in JJBA you get some form of hints, whereas this show adheres to the theory of "saying you're a clever show by never giving any worthwhile hint to the viewer", which, imho, is very disrespectful to the audience and lazy.
Still, it makes for an entertaining watch, rarely have I seen show that deserved the title "drama" so much, I guess.
