Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting past episode 4? Everything went political, I enjoyed it…
Korean culture is so heavy on politics and corruption, so here it felt unavoidable I guess, and the episode 5 gets worse with its election storyline, but luckily it ends there, and they start to delve deeper into Mr. Shin personal backstory since episode 6, which also investigates a rental scam alongside friendship and family drama, which is thankfully strays away from politics and has very satisfying moments. Then it shifts into a dangerous killer on the loose and an employment scam which also has a more personal feel.
I'm sure we'll still end up with some grand corruption scheme by higher ups in the finale, but I started to really enjoy the personal side stories and character interactions, and now can't wait for the postponed episode. I know the series in general is not the usual drama fan cup of tea, but looks like it's doing great in Korea, and I had success showing it to people that usually don't watch kdrama at all.
If some of those upcoming storylines feel interesting enough, you could try giving the series another chance.
