A sixteen-episode Korean television show - an adaptation of an American show called 'Designated Survivor'.
A bomb blows up the National Assembly Building and kills the Korean President and many high-ranking politicians. Park Mu-Jin, Minister for Environment with six months experience, is the highest ranking official left alive. He is now the Acting President for sixty days until the next election all while there's a hunt for the bombers behind the attack.
The show involves a lot of political tension, the threat of future attacks and threat of war. There's a huge focus on the growing mutual loyalty and respect between Park Mu-Jin and the staff over the series and how their relationships develop. The show starts with Park Mu-Jin agreeing to allow the staff to do all the work as they have more experience having worked under the previous President but he steadily grows as a politician and takes control when he feels he needs to. There's also a strong dedication between Park Mu-Jin and his family, who have been dragged into it all as well. There's a lot of questions about who can be trusted - both in identifying the bomber(s) and the day to day politics - and who they want to be able to trust. There's a fair amount of hurt/comfort, in the first few episodes alone there's a focus on the grief and stress all of the characters are feeling, and there's more later on (both physical and emotional).
The second part of the plot is focused on the Terrorism Task Force hunting down the culprits, uncovering the truth and getting involved in multiple action and chase scenes.
It's available on Netflix. One episode title does contain a spoiler and so do the preview stills so don't scroll too far ahead if you want to avoid them.
