The series that wanted to be high caliber and ended up being a soap opera.
I was disappointed; the plot and the story in general didn't satisfy me. I feel there was much more potential; they didn't know how to give it a proper script, the actors seemed lackluster, it needed more energy, it seemed too naive.
As for the roles, the first lady identified with her character; her husband was depressing, completely ignorant, which I find ridiculous; the villains lacked energy in their characters, some only showed facial expressions and that was it; the daughters were far too naive, I expected at least one of them to be more intelligent, perhaps show some ambition.
The soundtrack needs further improvement; it didn't feel impactful at all.
Overall, it's cheap melodrama, with facile feminism and second-rate villains. The worst part is the way they handle divorce in the opening scene—"one kiss and divorce." I was expecting a thriller, a drama, a suspense series. Instead, I feel like I stumbled upon a soap opera romance that was meant to resemble a presidential enlightenment drama, but it just didn't quite work.
Honestly, based on the written synopsis, I felt it had a lot of potential. As I mentioned, they didn't capitalize on the central theme, which was a dramatic series with elements of thriller, politics, betrayal, conspiracy, and divorce. They should have improved.
Even so, thanks are due to everyone involved in the production; hopefully, they will continue to improve.
