The Whirlwind centers on a fierce power struggle in the heart of Seoul’s political arena. The ambitious Prime Minister Park Dong‑ho plans to assassinate his once-ally President Jang Il‑joo after uncovering his corrupt ties to a massive conglomerate. When the attempt fails, Dong-ho’s plot unravels — and his path collides with the determined Deputy Prime Minister for Economy & Finance, Jeong Su‑jin, who has her own agenda. What begins as a tactical chess game between men and women in power evolves into a ruthless war of wills, where loyalty is fleeting, alliances dissolve, and the line between villain and hero blurs. As both Dong-ho and Su-jin fight their way to the top, they discover that the system itself may be the enemy.
