Has anyone watched Designated Survivor? I started it on a whim…um yeah nothing to do with Son Seok Koo haha…but I’m curious if anyone’s watched here? Is it good?

    I liked it. The casting was good. And Son Suk-Ku was really good in this one.

      Sweet! Yes, I’ve seen two episodes so far and already like the cast. It’s neat seeing SSK in a different role; so different from Gu.

    Lee Joon-hyuk (1984) looked quite dashing in his naval dress uniform!
    Straight political dramas I generally avoid with sageuks being the exception. I did not watch the original so it was all new to me. (I recall the special effects work was very well done.)
    I enjoyed it but there was something that annoyed me at the time and I am trying to recall. I think it was the extended pauses that President Park indulged in to think/ruminate. Perhaps my memory is faulty.

    I started it but didn’t get very far… I think I got fed up of the politics?

      I can do politics in kdramas if they’re smart and don’t have too many of those cartoonish evil laughs from the baddies. XD

        hehehe.. i am so glad that the mention of Lee Jun Hyuk reminds people of me.. my craze if not so hidden on DB 😂😂😂
        SSK was great… despite having 2 of mt favs LJH n Ji Jin Hee he caught my eyes n heart. his acting, his mannerism, his portrayal as a secretary to help his President to keep him doing his best while keeping him away from problems.. his desperation everything was spot on.

    Watched it twice already! Great ensemble piece. SSK is magnetic but JJH was the reason I started this drama.

    I watched it and liked it. I never watched the original series though, so I have no idea how it compares to that show.
