Honestly, I feel like I didn’t watch the same show as everyone else, because I found it incredibly overrated. I’m not saying it was terrible, but I definitely don’t think it deserved the ratings it got. First of all, the love-hate dynamic between the main leads was poorly done — their chemistry felt flat, and I found both of their acting performances shaky at best. I actually preferred the secondary couple they were much cuter and more genuine.

A lot of people said the political plot was hard to follow, but I found it surprisingly easy to understand. Maybe it’s because I’m used to more complex storylines, I’m not sure, but in any case, it really wasn’t difficult.

I ended up watching the series at 1.5x speed because it was just too slow — nothing particularly engaging was happening. The main leads' relationship lacked depth and intensity, and it just didn’t pull me in. And don’t get me started on the length: 36 episodes? That was way too much. I’m convinced the story could’ve been told in 20 episodes without losing anything important. So yeah — to me, it was definitely overrated.
