The Vote Queen: My Mayor Ex Can't Have Me

Few short dramas commit to the drama quite like this one does. On the surface this is a Revenge serial, but underneath it is a story about payback served cold — and "The Vote Queen: My Mayor Ex Can't Have Me" plays both layers for all they are worth.

Competitive-eating champion Vivian has a luck-transfer gift: the more she eats, the luckier the people around her get — and she spends years pumping it into husband Arthur's mayoral campaign, until betrayal and a forced divorce. Her reroute is inspired: an alliance marriage with rival candidate Smith, her gift as the campaign's hidden engine, and public popularity as artillery. The rare revenge show that is also genuinely funny.

Tropes on the menu: strong female lead, revenge. Come for the premise, stay for the whiplash — every episode ends with a reason to hit next.
