DESIGNATED SURVIVOR: 60 DAYS

GENRES: Drama, Political Procedural

SUMMARY: A temporary acting President has to deal with keeping a country afloat amid a crisis, internal espionage, and new suits.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Dust particles, botched press conferences, testy teens, VIPs, bombings, assassinations, military intrigue, national abandonment, hacking, camping, and eyeglasses.

HOT TAKE: I have not yet seen the American version of this show, but damn, this was a democratic rollercoaster of an experience. Everyone is out to win something whether it's an improved South Korea, dirty revenge, or just maintaining some semblance of governmental sanity.

This show has a real 'let's use the same 3 hallway sets over and over again' problem, but the familiar environments just made me care that much more about the acting masterclasses happening between their walls.

I’m watching the Korean version of “Designated Survivor” for the first time. Based on the first episode, it’s…surprisingly better? It follows the story of the original show, but it felt like the Korean team had a better grasp of the story than the Americans. What I mean is:

1) Park Mu-Jin feels more thought out than Tom Kirkman. In this version, you just had a feeling that this guy should NOT be President. Which is not a bad thing, it’s a sign of good character development. Mu-Jin is a good man and extremely intelligent…but he’s clumsy, has severe anxiety, and has no political sense. Don’t get me wrong, Kiefer Sutherland was good, but I never really saw him as the helpless underdog (maybe it’s because I couldn’t see him as anything but Jack Bauer). In the Korean version, you just feel extremely sorry for this guy and that South Korea is screwed under his leadership.

2) The seamless transition to Korean politics. You just get a sense that the Korean team knew how to make their version of the show work. The move from discussing Muslim terrorism to North Korea/the Korean War doesn’t feel forced at all. While not necessarily an improvement on the original, it shows that the writers were thinking hard about how to handle the change in setting and politics.

(Side note: The fear that the Koreas are going to go to war is a LOT scarier than the turmoil in the original show, imo)

3) The slower pace led to better characterization, especially for Park Mu-Jin (see above).

Overall, great first episode.

Just a little FYI 😌

I started watching Designated Survivor: 60 Days because of Lee Joon Hyuk—and I’m not disappointed so far. ‘The boy who lived’ seems to be something between an elegant baddie and a damaged hero, I like those :)

(And the rest of the cast is great, too.)
