Among the movies and dramas that the author likes, the biggest challenge in watching movies is probably political strategy. In addition to a large number of professional terms, how to keep up with the trend of the plot, understand how the protagonists work together to achieve their goals, and more importantly A big challenge and the most fun of it all. Known as the "South Korean version of "House of Cards" (personally I think the rhythm of House of Cards is faster), "Auxiliary Officers: People Who Changed the World", which was broadcast in 2019, featured members of Congress and their "assistant officers" around them. As the main axis, with actors such as Lee Jung-jae, Shin Min-ah, and Kim Gap-soo playing together, it not only outlines the ecology of South Korea's political circles, but also allows people to once again understand how profound politics is.

Like other dramas of the same type, "Auxiliary Officer" is also known for its lively rhythm, but because of the unique love element of Korean dramas, the audience can take a breath during the process, and it will be easier for their minds to keep up with the plot. Not only are you coming and going between the enemy and us, but the enemy is restrained by the enemy, and it is clear that there is no "eternal friend". Through the compact plot, it also presents an art called politics.

Although there are inevitably too ideal plots, and some karma may also make the audience feel abrupt (always remember the massage chair at the back?), but it is still a wonderful work, and it is understandable why it was used to match "House of Cards" to compare. For audiences who are used to Lee Jung-jae's partial image in "Squid Game", you might as well watch this one, and you will be impressed by him (?).

Because there are no permanent friends, the male and female protagonists in the play also have moments of tit-for-tat, and the direction of the plot once made the two actors, Lee Jung Jae and Shin Min Ah, also curious, how can the two deadlocked characters return to perfection (Unspoken rules of Korean dramas? ). Interestingly, at a press conference, when Lee Jung Jae was about to talk about his role, he found that Shin Min Ah kept staring at him, which made him laugh and ask, "What's the matter, are you afraid that I will explode?" It also caused a burst of laughter from the scene.
