Weak compare the U.S Version
I watched the U.S version before watching this version. I watched all episodes without skipping and fell in love with all the characters that worked closely with the president. Hannah was by far my favorite in the U.S version ,she's bad ass , and her 'friendship' to the president and loyalty was one of my favorite .You see all the characters grew, Seth, Aaron and Mike. I loved watching them . Maybe because the show ran more season, you got to see how much Tom character changed from the first day to the end of becoming president . He also lost so so much.This Korean version though.. The president alone...from first episode to last episode,he just did not have the charisma. The girl that supposedly play Hannah, spent more time running. I barely saw her have any fight. She's just not as strong as Hannah and we only have 16 episodes with one season, if we want to rush the story line, at the very least, probably should cut the whole 'staring looking into the abyss' scenes a lot less.

PLEASE GIVE THIS DRAMA AN OPPORTUNITY
This drama is amazing, period. I’ve been watching dramas for 10 years but it’s been such a long time since I felt so many emotions watching a drama and I believe it is the first time in 5 years that I watched a drama without doing fast forward because I was afraid to miss a good dialogue!!!! I will give you different reasons to watch this drama-THE ACTING IS AMAZING (well just look at the cast)
-The writing is really good (I have to say I screamed and clapped while watching this) and so it is the ost and cinematography
- every character is smart and even the smallest character brings something to the story ( I love how the women here were so intelligent)
-There are not wasted dialogues or scenes and if you don’t see spoilers you don’t know until the end who is the bad guy (because it keeps surprising you)
- I loved how awkward was the romance and the comedy here hahaha because you know this drama is actually really serious (and yes I love my couple in this drama ;; )
Sigh… there are so many reasons why you should watch this drama… so please let’s try to raise the popularity of designated survivor
I give it 10/10

Crazy from start to finish
This has been on my watch list for quite some time, but hey, better late than never. For the most part, this drama is really good.What makes it good?
It's not an eyeroll drama about politics. It has suspense, mystery, and action. Park Mujin's character development from beginning to end was amazing to watch. The complexity of each character's goal, whether they have good or bad morals, really adds onto their motives. The acting is truly believable, astounding, impeccable, what more can I say? The cinematography is gorgeous, I love the different aspects to how the scenes were shot/set up.
What makes it bad?
The plotholes. There are parts to the story that have some loose ends. There's also parts that don't feel as impactful as they should be. The pacing becomes slow in the middle-ish. Nothing was really progressing until it got near the end.
Though the premise of this drama may leave people with mixed feelings, I say give it a watch and see if you're up for it.

Will leave you with more to be desired.
Strong start that's guaranteed to keep you hooked but it doesn't remain consistent. Episodes 11 to 16 were too flawed, full of plot holes, illogical sequence of events, change of mood and pace. The quality as well took a dip compared to how polished it was in the earlier parts, it became too tame and lost the energy. Some plot lines/characters/situations were cartoonish and didn't fit the serious theme of the drama. I wish they showed more of his family and their dynamics, given their bizarre sudden situation. There were only given a couple of scenes at the beginning and another at the end.The LGBTQ plot line felt off and out of place, it didn't even go anywhere. Some of the obstacles/challenges weren't interesting to follow, tackling real serious issues would have been better. The "villains" and their motives were a bit underwhelming, we were led for something greater with the build up we had. The antagonists might be its weakest point.
Anyway, great acting by the president, it's still a solid watch but will leaves you with more to be desired. 7.5/10

It makes you root for the protagonist
Such a roller coaster ride. Intrigued by the plot, watched without expectation and it blew my mind. I'm not a fan for such political drama but surprisingly I was pretty much engaged and couldn't help but to click next episode. The idea of having a resigned minister to be an interim president never crossed my mind. Ji Jinhee really done well in potraying a confused professor to a firm honest interim president. I can't help but to root for him. The staffs are also amazing and my favorite is Son Seokko as a passionate chief of secretary who wants the best for his country. That's why he pursued Park Mujin to run for the election. Shout out to Kang Hanna who potrays the NIS agent who persists until she gets to the bottom of the incident eveb after losing her fiance. Overall this drama is fun, thrilling and leave you wanting for more.Cet avis était-il utile?

It's definatally one of the best political drama i ever watched or i can say for the BEST.
this drama really deserves respect in all the political drama for how much depath it has put into the show and it shows how I can not win a battle if you are right or an honest person. The world won't work the way you think it should be and the honesty won't make your design right.It's the same negative point that most people noticed and don't like.
the way in episode 5 all of the people just want to leave or resign when they can't handle things however they want and the mc only think about how to fire all the government official [ not really for all but he always only fires everyone who won't obey what he wants].
but with episode 7 ending will change this as well now he knows how to win and how to make use of the information if a very well-written series you should watch it even though it looks like I don't want to recommend this in my upper reviews but it's a very interesting and good series that you should watch really.

Grounded and just thrillingly VERY good.
I was really excited to start Designated Survivor : 60 Days as its based on the exciting American one . ( BTW You do not have to watch the American one to watch this one.) I was also keenly looking forward to equally exciting Korean elements and I must say ,all my expectations were gloriously exceeded!Everything was perfectly wound from the scenario , to the politics and the thrilling action, The story never failed to captivate and the build up was thoroughly conclusive and very grounded. The political machinations added to the thrill and actually did not bog down anything .I particularly loved the social commentary on the proposed laws as they touched on pertinent social issues and causes.Then the action was just a lovely decadent cherry on the top.
The directing was equally sublime and I loved the use of past and present scenes . The capture shots were very rich too and added a true elegance to the story line and overall production.
The cast was equally perfect too with all the leads wonderfully shining and adding artistic nuance were possible.
The music added great ambiance to all the set pieces.
Overall -an absolute home run of a drama that I thoroughly recommended . So much heart and such profound dialogue too that I am sorry it is finished .

The story is amazing,not sure about the characters
As someone who's a big fan of the thriller genre but not so of the political genre,i still enjoyed this drama. The plot was good,the acting was also great. It has it's own moments of thrill. But i hated how some characters were so one dimensional. The lead's family didn't feel like fully developed characters,instead to me they felt like plot devices,to help enhance the Lead's likeability. Also the Secretary's character also felt very flat. The characters make bad decisions and somehow they end up being right,it was kinda annoying to watch. but I'm still very satisfied with the drama,sven though the revelation of the Mastermind felt very anticlimatic.Cet avis était-il utile?
NEED S2 PLS
Why don't many people talk about this drama? Is it maybe because the storyline is heavy and about politics? But you know this is a hidden gem drama!!! The story is about maybe you can say the daily life of people who work in the government, and I got to know how the process and what government people do.Maybe for people unfamiliar with politics or who have never liked politics, this is a heavy plot.
But I really suggest this is a good story and makes you all suspicious of the cast and don't forget the mind-blowing plot twist that should be watched at least once in a lifetime!!! And you have nothing to regret, a little advice if you watch a drama that has never tried the genre is better to watch without any suspicion first thanks me latter
