***A Promising Start Lost in Slow Pacing and Emotional Flatness*** *it's been a disappointment so far. The drama has some decent moments, but nothing really impressive. I went in expecting a serious political story with real tension and high stakes, but instead it feels more like a historical slice-of-life that doesn't really go anywhere. The pacing is extremely draggy, with many scenes stretched out far longer than necessary, making the story feel slow and repetitive. The directing and staging don't help either, as a lot of scenes lack energy, tension, or impact. Despite having a sociopolitical backdrop, the overall tone is surprisingly light and comedic, which makes it hard for me to get fully immersed.* *The action scenes also lack any real suspense or sense of danger. A lot of sequences spend too much time on minor details, which further slows the pacing down. Visually, nothing…
