Designated Survivor is an adaptation from American tv drama of the same name. Usually I am a stickler for originals, rarely do I venture to see the remakes but this series easily out did it’s original. From the word go it sucks you in and you cannot stop until you are done with the 16th episode.
Credit goes to the tight screenplay, wonderful direction, strong cast and Ji Jin Hee’s fantastic performance as President Park. It is a story about a chemistry professor who becomes the minister for environment by chance and a major catastrophe makes him the President of Korea for 60 days. His evolution as a seasoned politician is told in a gripping tale.
Special mention should be made of the costume designer, what keen sense of colour, cut and style. It is unfortunate that his/her name is not mentioned anywhere.
How we wish we had a leader like Park, he touches your very soul through his values and character. The opposition leader Ms. Yun is also somebody we would like to see in Indian politics.
Don’t miss this series.
