Yes, this is a work of fiction, yet you don't need much imagination to think of a plot like this, just scroll the news and connect some dots and you have it. It's reality we live in, or better said, reality we watch on the news. This isn't even 3% of what's happening behind the screens, though I think you don't need to watch these types of shows to realise that.
I love the scenes where people on the street all watch the news that happened to be their entertainment while they're waiting for the bus. What media shows us is just selected information, and in this drama we follow characters who shape those exact news.
There are better political kdramas out there of course, but this one somehow feels heavy and at the times hard to follow. Some people say it's boring, but I think you should watch it from different perspective that isn't just purely entertainment. There were several good points made here, corruption, media manipulation and awful lives of public figures that we often idolize. Acting was top tier and each character was necessary for the story to unfold.
It's good to sometimes reflect on reality, and I think the story delivered in that field. Totally worth the watch!!!!
