As a political drama, The King of the People subverts people's established impression of political drama, and turns the serious theme into a relaxed and humorous high-energy comedy. Although it is broadcast late at night, it is actually more like a theme of family fun. Although the author is talking nonsense seriously, there is a profound theme behind the nonsense: what is the purpose of politics? Is it a tool to pursue fame and fortune and satisfy selfish desires, or a way to benefit the people with the world in mind? Aside from political factors, the king of the people is also guiding the audience to learn to reflect and respect everyone's value. In the play, father and son are forced to understand each other's life because of "exchange". They look at themselves from each other's perspective and learn to respect each other.

In the plot, Asahi TV made drastic changes to the original work. Although it has been foreseen that the true nature will open up a political road, change identity and save family conflicts, the "Yukihiko Tsutsumi-style comedy" cultivated in the Spec era of Yumie Nishiogi, with all kinds of humorous details, carefree megaphones, clever roles, funny sound effects and nonsense lens switching, makes the audience in front of the screen laugh. The dance bridge of "animated diplomacy" and the collective handkerchief dance of the ending song make the audience "sprout". (Sohu, Sina, Netease comprehensive comments)

The drama version of "The King of the People" has made great changes to the personalities of Taishan and his son: Wu Tengxiang, a dude in a nightclub, has become a somewhat timid female college student with high strength, while Wu Tengtaishan, a calculating political veteran, has become more enthusiastic and impulsive. This change is entirely to match the two protagonists. Judging from the results, Kenichi Endong, the prime minister of Showa temperament, and Suda Masaki, his unreliable son, both played excellent acting roles. Suda Masaki mobilized every muscle on his face and performed a fierce aura with the "crocodile face" of Kenichi Endong. As an old play bone, Kenichi Endō not interprets herbivorous college students vividly with the power of super girl. In the supporting role, Issei Takahashi plays Kitahara, the secretary of the Prime Minister, with full professional marks and full poison tongue index, which makes many audiences remember his name and appearance with a pair of funny facial paralysis.
