It definitely is more interested in the politics than Capital Scandal was -- like, the main bad guys are a secret Japanese cabal who are trying to move Japan even more towards imperialism, and you can read a lot of really interesting stuff about privilege and entitlement and nationalism into the kindergarten teacher's Arc of Evil (he's Japanese but begins as a pro-Korean ally.) But that does not necessarily make it easier to watch . . .

It is fun to compare it to Capital Scandal though! We have decided that this is the revolution that Geun Duk really wanted to be part of. Everyone is srs bsns and no one has any rom-com hijinks at all! HIS DREAM.
