In particular, the two-shot of Jeon Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won alone significantly increased the level of immersion. Personally, I enjoy watching political dramas, so this one exceeded my expectations from the very first episode.

2. Key plot points from episodes 1-3

North Korea's The Korean Peninsula is on the brink of war as the United States discovers that a nuclear submarine is being built.

Here, the reason for Jang Jun-ik's death is not a simple incident, It's revealed that the complex power struggle between the US, North Korea, and South Korean politics is at play. Then, Seo Moon-joo (Jun Ji-hyun) takes over her husband's position and runs for president, ushering in a new phase.

3. Changes in Jeon Ji-hyun's character

Seo Moon-ju was initially more of a helper to her husband, but after his death, she transformed into an independent politician who makes her own decisions.

Especially in scenes where she has conflicts with her mother-in-law, she does not show any intimidation. The scene where she declares, "I will become a presidential candidate," shows a new spectrum of Jun Ji-hyun's acting.

 

You could say that he has truly captured the face of a politician.

4. Kang Dong-won's presence

Kang Dong-won, who plays the role of Baek San-ho, protects Seo Moon-joo as a bodyguard and companion.

At first, he said she was a strong woman and didn't need him, but Eventually, her conviction is confirmed and she is entrusted with his protection. The chemistry between Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won heightens the tension by switching between action and romance.

5. Personal impressions 

The drama Polaris appropriately mixes political story with melodramatic emotions.

I liked how the story unfolded quickly without wasting time with unnecessary plot twists, and I was particularly impressed by how realistically it portrayed the political concerns of the younger generation in the international situation.

 

Perhaps because it is a Disney+ original, the production was both stimulating and sophisticated.

 

6. Broadcast Schedule 


- September 10th: Episodes 1-3 released

- September 17th: Episodes 4-5
- September 24th: Episodes 6-7
- October 1st: Episodes 8 and 9 are scheduled to be released.
