Comments

Mimikyu May 02 2021 5:09 am I love this drama, it is hilarious and entertaining. Kudos to all actors and production staff. Recommend this amazing show to everyone. Season 2 please.

Sham Feb 14 2021 2:49 am 10/10- very funny . Great performance not just by leads but also supporting cast . You could almost love the villain too.

The lead couple are very likeable and you just want them to be happy and overcome difficulties that life throws at you .

Highly recommend it !!!!

Me Feb 02 2021 11:06 pm Just finished watching My Fellow Citizens and I loved it!!! Now I want to know if there's a part/ season 2??? It would be awesome!!! Please make season 2

Park hoo ja shi Sep 24 2020 8:41 am @Pancake P!nk - So What. I hope it helps.

Park hoo ja shi Sep 23 2020 11:35 am This drama reminds me of squad 38. Then what?both are written by same writer. Haha. So the writer loves this kind of genre. And also. I was not a fan of siwon but i watched his drama. oh my lady, she was pretty, and this drama. I think he is so smart to took drama that has amazing story line. The story line that makes me curious. And im really enjoy his acting. Amazing.

JimOnly Jul 03 2020 7:11 am Who else noticed the end credits??? It maybe hinting for season 2

Pancake Jun 16 2020 9:41 am Guys, does anyone know the song played in the club scene in first episode? Same song was played in Kim Woo Bin's movie Twenty in a similar club scene. I cannot find it anywhere. :(

deszra Apr 27 2020 10:04 pm [full disclosure that I love siwonie with my entire being] With that out of the way, I honestly think My Fellow Citizens is among the most refreshing dramas I've watched. It stays clear of a lot of cliches, and the whole cast is phenomenal. The themes are also very relevant, and the commentary on politics and society was really well-written, a good balance between more serious scenes and ofc comedy. At any rate, I think Siwon's role as Yang Junggook has cemented him as an excellent top tier actor, not just an idol actor, I love what he brought to the role, and his chemistry with Lee Youyoung was also great. I'd love to see them act together again...and I mean...with that ending, we'll hopefully get a season 2!

Davia Dec 02 2019 11:19 am My Fellow Citizen's is KD at it's best. I absolutely loved ALL the actors!!! Korean actors are the best at character comedy and this drama is one of the most enjoyable examples. Also I'm so impressed with the writer! Which is rare! Loved the message of courage and integrity. Thank you for this incredibly entertaining, joyful, inspiring and heart warming drama!

Kim Min-Jung portrayal of Park Hoo Ja was one of a kind and not to be missed. She created a memorable character indeed! So funny!

Love Lee Yoo Young as an actress and especially here as a real but totally audacious woman.

Choi Si Won, I hope you do many more movies like this! Your ability to act from your heart and yet portray different types characters is what's needed in the world.

Silverman Aug 28 2019 8:46 am one of the best kdrama i have seen , so funny and emotional . loved the male lead and his wife so much , also hoo ja was good . i really enjoyed this drama and the ending was good , wish we saw more but seems like there will be a second season from that last scene , hope so .

Miguel Cruz Gonzalez Jun 07 2019 6:02 am Fun drama, over the top, but that's why it was fun. I loved Park Huja, loved her character!

Suni Jun 02 2019 9:21 am Seeing Yang Dong-Geun call Choi Si-Won "Hyung" was funny! I liked the first half of this drama but lost interest during the second half.

Niniz May 28 2019 9:21 pm I hope there will be a 2nd season for this drama. What happen to hooja?. I want more miyoungxjungook scene. Just go through the ending there is post credit scene where jungook make a peace sign or maybe a hint for 2nd season idk lets hope guys..

Owl Lip May 26 2019 7:38 pm I love that this drama doesn't include a common love triangle relationship. The story is fresh and unique.

I think Choi Siwon (Yang Junggook) succeeds portraying the character, he is super funny. Kim Minjung (Park Hooja) is also great, portraying a villain with her strong charisma but still not losing the comedy.

I have a fun time watching this. If you are looking for a fun drama which doesn't require too much thinking and tearful emotions, you better check this out! :D

Gt May 22 2019 12:10 am Its become 36 episode

LKB May 21 2019 9:04 pm Wait, was that seriously the end?!?! Ok, so I guess season 2 must be happening maybe? Surely letting PHJ out and a full on fight against Nam Hwa isn't the end. He has to confess his past connery (non-Sean type!) and reform with that public, right? There is clearly another chapter of the PHJ story to unfold! Another 4-8 half hour episodes would do it either to a bare minimal standard (4) or rich completion (8)... This needs to be 20 hours/40 'episodes' based on how they abruptly ended 32!!

Pearl May 14 2019 11:29 am I love this drama, I love the fact that he won the election, av always loved Choi si won, even his music video with the super Junior. I watched this drama cus of him and I dont regret it. Thanks

red May 08 2019 2:07 am @2D1N intFAN!! the private gambling between friends is not illegal, even netizen commented on stupid decision by the 2 star of 2d1n to leave the show by just that..it is their own decision not court or police.. and 2d1n is already a sinking ship when the shameless JJY caught..so i dont know what does that matter to this drama

purple fall May 07 2019 9:50 pm Come one people, this is not a romantic drama although it seems to be one for the first 2 episodes so please stop complaining about the chemistry between the lead and his wife (I don't even consider her as one of the main leads!). If you're looking for cutesy romance and all the fluff, please turn left and right to exit, stay for the intriguingly entertaining plot with plenty of political references and satire that mock treacherous politicians and their lies. The humor is on point with very a talented cast and crew. I love that every character is flawed and relatable in some way while constantly being so quirky and over the top. I entered the drama with no expectations but ended up surprisingly satisfied. I wonder how everyone can redeem themselves at the end after so many lies and schemes have been casually thrown around?

voice2boukz May 06 2019 8:15 pm i hate Park Hu Ja with a vengeance! i can’t stand her!

2D1N intFAN!! May 03 2019 11:28 am wouldnt say this is relevant to the show but its relevant to the two members stepping down from it!!! i am watching this show right now and on episode 10 they bet money on something ,,.......... POINT is even though this is fictional its still broadcasted on KOREAS national TV or cable TV , not sure coz im not from Korea,. gambling is illegal in this country so why is it broadcasted on national TV??? while these two people had a private bet not even real bet coz they still returned the money ,.... so what do call this BS???

Dedeededededede May 01 2019 6:47 am @park hoo ja fan Which episode are you now? I don't remember in which episode, but they explained this relationship. Han Sang Jin and Kim Mi Young aren't real sibling. Mi young's parents have died and she met Sang Jin's mom when she was high school student. She made a lot of trouble back then, but Sang Jin's mom gave her a lesson and made her change and since then they're all like a family.

park hoo ja fan Apr 30 2019 8:32 pm can anyone tell me what is han sang jin relation with kim mi young? i thought they're not sibling because the have different family name (han and kim) but they have the same mom like wtf?

Mocco Apr 24 2019 9:48 am If only i accidentally find the shooting scene and meet park hoo ja, i would love to warmly hug Park Hoo Ja and tell her that,

Everytime my nephew be my driver and i wanna have a U~turn.

I will scream like..

U TUUUUURRRRNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

I watch this drama coz i like Park hoo ja.

Sincerely..

U TUUURNNNN

red Apr 24 2019 7:46 am this drama feels very fresh, and exciting too..all main character are good, and i especially loving Kim Min Jung's character..the storyline feels fresh and good, but if i had to nitpick stuff, maybe the relationship of the main character grow a bit stale with no apparent changes from the beginning of the drama. I hope it will change further into the story, other than that, all is good and a very recommended drama to watch :D

Jee Apr 23 2019 12:08 am I like the casts I really and the beginning of the drama was great do but I don’t understand what the writer is tryna do exactly feels like the writer is confused and so am I.

deantrbl Apr 18 2019 6:48 am Kim Min Joon looks like Indonesian artist, Dewi Persik lmao

popcorn and coke Apr 17 2019 11:57 am SPOILERS AHEAD: as expected only the first few episodes were good. Episode 9 and 10 only felt like filler episodes with the car chase and looked like a really dumb episode because Jung Kook did all this work just to back out because he didnt think about the possibility that Hoo Ja will tell about his real profession on his wife when she already threatened to kill them in the first place also he should be smart enough to know this because he's a con artist that knows his way around thats why he has a clean police record. the next episode 11-12 also felt like the comedy aspect of this drama was kinda forced, with how Mi Young came to his office and had his fellow con artists confined in the cabinet and Jung Kook's new 'gang' interactions with each other when they ordered take outs. yeah the script is really poor especially the part on whose phone was it or the spilling of coffee. this was such a good drama at the start but i dont think so anymore. the comedy is forced and am only watching because of Hoo Ja, the actress is really holding up the character really well.

Ehhhhh Apr 16 2019 11:33 pm Not really sure how I feel about this drama. Am a fan of Lee Yoo-Young but the story line is falling real flat for me. Already episode 12 and I feel 0 connection between the two mains. If they want me to keep watching they need to do something fast. I'll give it another week or two.

uwow Apr 16 2019 6:48 am simply great.

storywise, this drama is really unique. the romance/drama and comedy proportion is just perfect.

aside from several bad acting this drama is really satisfying

Moonlight Apr 14 2019 8:02 am I Love the way the drama running in the beginning, it's remainder me the Mr.&.Mrs.Smith atmosphere (Siwon siwon perfectly suitable as Brad pitt but sorry to say lee yoo young character's can't match as Angelina Jolie-she's need more pretty and stronger image) , and also honestly it's getting a little bit boring in a few scene (in Min jung scene *but she's pretty* so I can forgive it) Btw.. I'm looking forward for this drama, and hope the next episode can surprise us for more entertaining or hear warming scene

Dani Azroy Apr 13 2019 9:51 am Lee Joo Myoung remind me of Shu Qi very well..

bulu-bulu

hemma kim Apr 13 2019 9:41 am ♥♥♥

Farah Izzaty Apr 11 2019 12:49 pm I love love love this drama. At first I watched just because of Siwonnie (im an ELF!). But then i noticed the co star is Lee Yoo Young which she managed to make me fall in love with her acting. I didn’t expect she can pull through the act because i tot she’s soft and doesnt fit the character but then after the fight scene in ep 5, i felt more, more and more in love with her ???

Oh, and i hate min jung cuz i think she’s being too over in every drama she act.

This is just my opinion so of you dont agree with me just skip mine ✌?

Hwaiting Siwonnie and Yoo Young ♥️

Love from Malaysia

Grey Apr 11 2019 2:02 am Lee Joo Myoung looks like Jun Ji Hyun. ?
