My Fellow Citizens

I watched this a year ago and then threw it away because it didn't interest me at all. Only now it's come up on Netflix and I (for some reason I feel like I should finish watching everything) picked it up. It wasn't as terrible as it struck me after the first two episodes, but it wasn't a hit either – though I liked the theme song best of all (it reminded me a lot of the 1st opening from Durarara!!). Certainly, Siwon is as watchable as ever, he knows how to put on the right face to convince the viewer that the character is feeling what he's supposed to be feeling at that moment. Even so, it doesn't save the series. The main villain sucked, his wife as a single person sucked too, as a couple she was already only acceptable. The series is boring, overdone, weirdly complicated and naive, but it has the occasional interesting scene, the occasional good scene, the occasional funny scene. What I liked were the cuts to one group ordering food, the other dealing with politics, and the cuts are done in such a way that the character dealing with politics sounds like she's commenting on their food choices. I have to admit that was original and funny. There's so little of it, though, that it's not really worth the time spent unless you're a total Siwon fan. 50%. (21/06/2020)
