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!

Most problems with TV dramas is that they are too slow. "Whirlwind" is the opposite. It moves way too fast, turning and twisting from one impossible complication to another. Characters are also switching allegiance back and forth between various allies/enemies. All these points make for a very fast-paced storyline that keeps me guessing, but the problem is that the fast pace also makes it difficult for me to develop any attachment to the characters.
I love stories that feature characters who are neither entirely good or entirely bad, and "Whirlwind" has several of them, and the mature and understated acting made their portrayal of the characters very exciting to watch. Unfortunately, everything these characters do seem to be driven by the chaotic plot line. Despite these characters having very noble aspirations and idealistic goals, I just could not sympathize with them.
Most of the acting was quite good, except for the two young political aids. Lim Se Mi is particularly dull as her character seems quite one-dimensional. If her love interest was better-looking, that would have helped a lot.

A fantastic Korean political thriller I've ever seen! Just as the 'Whirlwind' refers to intense wind that keeps spinning, in the same way this is one of an intense series that keeps spinning with twists after twists. A strong fight between President n Prime minister to grab the power that keeps one completely hooked up. One believes politics is above all morals n the other believes politics is about corrupt free democracy. Though ending is satisfactory, yet it feels like neither of them wins in a big way. However, a little lengthier. A miniseries of 12 episodes dubbed in Hindi as well. Available in Netflix My ratings 8/10!
If you like series about politics, I recommend watching this one, it has all the emotions. You won't be able to guess at all. Moreover, the realism is not too over the top. I really admire the writers and actors in this story.
In every episode, every episode has a concise story in 12 episodes, you will have many emotions turning and turning. It is considered to be a Korean series from the past several years that I have watched and really liked.
If anyone likes political investigations, I recommend watching it. The actors are worth it. I really like the color and sound of everything in the story.
