The Whirlwind

Perhaps my expectation was too high from the cast.

The plot couldn't be simpler. Reversal after reversal with incessant twist after another to the extremity most of which is anything but realistic.

Top notch casting with mediocre stiff face actings.

I must confess that I had to stop after impatiently watching till Ep.3 so I may not be entirely qualified to leave a review here but my disappointment had to be vented out after seeing the high rates. I would give 8 out of 10 if the scores were to be given for the irritation I got from watching the three episodes.

Netflix needs to mind quality over quantity.

Wow wow wow ...it is one of the most captivating tv shows of all times....the casting ...the stars ....the plot ...the progressive events during the show...unbelievable how korean drama went this far when it comes to tv shows and movies....i cant express enough the perfect performance of the main actor the president who killed himself just to save the nation from falling into the darkness....

I wish all directors start learning from this show and start producing similar excitement like shows from now on ....i wished it never ended really ...i know you think i am exaggerating right...to prove me wrong , one way to find out right😉 enjoy the show of the decade 😉

*The Whirlwind* is a masterclass in political intrigue and complex power dynamics. This Korean drama dives deep into the world of high-stakes political maneuvering, where every decision can shift the balance of power. The characters are skillfully crafted, each representing different facets of the political landscape, from cunning strategists to idealistic reformers. The story brilliantly unravels with twists that keep you guessing, exposing corruption, ambition, and the delicate dance of alliances. With sharp writing and powerful performances, *The Whirlwind* is a must-watch for anyone who loves intense political dramas that challenge the mind and keep you engaged until the very end!

Best ever show on politics.

There are not many characters in this series. Unlike other political dramas which often have multiple characters like sons, father, nephews, Uncles and cousins etc this series has only two main rivals.

One male and one female in lead role. Both want to become president of Republic of Korea by hook or crook mean. They use power, sources, references and obviously their mind to take the lead. And all the story goes in logical way.

All the actors do their job very well. Especially female in lead role shows better expression than the male.

And last thing I want to mention that the lesson I got from this show NEVER LOSE HOPE. IF U R DETERMINE TO FIND A SOLUTION, THERE IT IS.

You must have patience for a lot of front and back for you to really appreciate this show. The show tells a story of when two brilliant politicians of similar mind are on opposing sides of Justice. Each one taking turns to be ahead of the other, thinking two steps or three steps ahead and the other just trying to be one step ahead. Brilliant moves, thrilling deceptions will have you on edge.

Plot twist upon plot twist. It also shows that to really fight the corrupt it is almost impossible to not get your hands dirty in the process. How far is one or the other willing to go to get what they want. A battle of wills, a whirlwind!
