Chief of Staff is perfect for those who don't need romance or cute little moments ruining (yeah I said ruin) the story. Yes, there is a couple, but their relationship is a thin veil over the rest of the story. Chief of Staff is political intrigue at it's best. There is greed, murder, backstabbing, conniving, and everything else under the sun. Like one of the other reviewers said, it's the perfect adult drama.

The cast led by Lee Jung Jae was impeccable. Shin Min Ah was so good and so far removed from her typical characters that I forgot it was her. If it weren't for her dimples, I would have thought she was someone else. They were good. Everyone was good, but Kim Gab Soo was brillant! He stole the show. He was mesmerizing in every scene. (FYI: Kim plays the President in Designated Survivor 60 Days. I watched them simultaneously and confused myself a few times. LOL)

The incidental music was great. Honestly, I don't remember any songs. I'm sure there was at least one slow song in it, but it was irrelevant.

I finished Chief of Staff 2 the other day and am ready to rewatch both back to back now. How's that for rewatch value?!

If you like political intrigue & murder, Chief of Staff is a great series. You really can't do much better.
