Korean drama《Political Whirlwind》Episode 7 plot introduction

The political whirlwind that many viewers have been waiting for has just been aired recently, but it has already attracted widespread attention and enthusiasm during the promotion stage.Now that the series has been officially aired, the audience's evaluation of it has not diminished. Especially regarding the Korean drama - Political Whirlwind - the plot introduction of episode 7 has been the focus of recent discussions.

Five months ago, under the aura of President Jang Il-joon winning the Nobel Prize, Dong-ho stepped forward and resolutely exposed President Jang Il-joon's corrupt behavior.

At that time, President Jang Il-joon promised Dong-ho that he would resign once he won the election, but Dong-ho firmly refused to become his successor.His disappointment reaches its peak when he learns that the Vice Prime Minister Xiuzhen, whom he deeply trusted, has betrayed him.He once regarded Xiuzhen as a partner of justice, but he never expected that she would become the kind of person she protested against in college.On this day, he also learned of a major case against him.

Now Dong-ho is eagerly awaiting Soo-jin's downfall.Her confirmation hearing is about to begin, and rumors about her corrupt husband are rampant.Xiuzhen meets with Shangchuan, and he offers her a break if she joins his camp.However, Xiuzhen firmly rejected his proposal. She would rather die than cooperate with the man who had made her suffer for six days.

Shangchuan was angry at Xiuzhen's attitude, so he summoned Xianxiu as a witness to testify against Xiuzhen at the confirmation hearing.This move unexpectedly triggered widespread public support for Xiuzhen.In an interview, Soo-jin talked about her hearing, saying that it was actually a showdown between two forces. One was the force intent on destroying President Jang Il-joon's legacy, and the other was the force dedicated to protecting it.She vehemently denies all the accusations against her, insisting they are rumors spread to tarnish her reputation.

While Soo-jin searches for a way to survive, Dong-ho meets with the former first lady and threatens to expose her for her fraud.He gives her a choice to leave the country and leave Soo-jin behind.Soo-jin is surprised to find, in Dong-ho's office, news reports that the First Lady is about to travel abroad and will not be by his side as he defends President Jang Il-joon's legacy.

The former first lady publicly asked Xiuzhen not to mention her husband again and to remain silent if she had different opinions.Donghao was satisfied when he saw Xiuzhen trying to stay calm.He tells her that everything he does is for Ki-tae and he won't stop until he achieves his goal.

However, Soo-jin didn’t sit back and let Dong-ho win.She reveals information to Jang-seok, suggesting that Dong-ho may have something to do with President Jang Il-joon's death.Although her words were reserved, they were enough to make Zhang Shuo suspicious of this old friend.

When the two met, Jang-suk mentioned the matter and told Dong-ho that he would spare no effort to pursue the case.He has evidence that Dong-ho met President Jang Il-joon minutes before his death, and he doesn't believe it was a coincidence.Dong-ho, acting unusually calm, subtly acknowledges that at some point in the future, they may meet again as prosecutor and defendant.Meanwhile, Soo-jin calls Dong-ho to make sure he knows that they are both facing their downfall and that she will not just sit back and watch.

The plot continues when Dong-ho meets with Chairman Park and they discuss changing the committee members three days before Soo-jin’s confirmation hearing.Dong-ho plans to turn this hearing into a question about Soo-jin by suddenly adding the former prosecutor as a committee member.In addition, he met with CIA Director Zheng Quan and ordered him to investigate Min Ho's company.

Meanwhile, Dong-ho invites the party representatives to lunch to make sure she doesn’t have enough time before Soo-jin tries to convince them to go easy on her.He's worried that Jang Suk will come to him before the fight with Soo Jin is over, so he can't slow down and let that happen.

After Zhang Shuo thought about it carefully, he took the initiative to call Dong Hao and invite him to celebrate Ji Tae's birthday together.The two met in front of Ji Tae's grave, and Zhang Shuo frankly told Dong Hao that he had received more conclusive evidence that he could not ignore.He revealed that he and two other prosecutors will form a task force to investigate the case in depth. No matter what difficulties they face, they will stick to their duties and pursue the truth.

After hearing this, Dong Hao knew Zhang Shuo's determination and asked him to act in accordance with legal procedures and promised that he would keep his promise and cooperate with the investigation.He emphasized that as public officials, they all have the responsibility to uphold the dignity and fairness of the law and to keep their promises regardless of the outcome.

On the other hand, Zheng Yan successfully persuaded Shang Yun to testify against Xiu Zhen at the confirmation hearing by visiting Sang Yun many times.This news made Xiuzhen deep in thought, and she began to reconsider Shangchuan's proposal.Shang Chuan saw a glimmer of hope and expressed optimism that as long as they cooperate, the anger of supporters will be calmed over time.He firmly believed that for the South to prosper, the threat from the North must be eliminated.He promised that if both parties join forces, they will form a powerful team that no one can beat.

The next day, Xiuzhen found Yingyi and warned him in a threatening tone that if he did not make Shangyun back down at the hearing, then she would make him the main suspect in the PE fund case.She used herself as bait to prove her determination to Yingyi.She then brings up an old incident from the past, linking Yingyi to certain forces in the north, and orders him to get in touch with an old acquaintance to assist in her plan.

Although Young-ik is hesitant, he finally agrees to Soo-jin's request before she talks to a reporter.In fact, Sangchuan used Soo-jin's agreement with a North Korean soldier as a pretext to execute Soo-jin's father and stepbrother for treason.He used the incident to successfully win sympathy and forgiveness from his supporters.

Meanwhile, Soo-jin deftly steers the situation toward conflict among committee members during her confirmation hearing.The entire hearing ended with the members fighting and blaming each other, while Soo-jin deftly avoided all questions and attacks.What is even more shocking is that Shangchuan actually summoned the current president Donghao as a witness, which is unprecedented in political history.

Faced with this sudden change, Donghao was extremely angry.However, he was well aware of his responsibilities and responsibilities as president and decided to attend the hearing in person and face all doubts and challenges.Yeon-sook tries to persuade him to think twice before acting, reminding him that Sang-cheon also summoned the former first lady.Donghao calmly admitted that he had indeed underestimated Xiuzhen's abilities and methods before, and now he will pay the price for it.

At the same time, Jang Suk arrived at the Blue House as a prosecutor, preparing to investigate Dong Ho.However, Dong-ho was rejected due to his status as the current president.Zhang Shuo had no choice but to call Dong Hao, but the latter told him that he would not accept any form of investigation and claimed that his team would be disbanded.Zhang Shuo understood that Dong Hao just wanted to delay time in this way, but he also knew that he would not give up the investigation.

In the end, Xiuzhen's outstanding performance at the hearing won the recognition and support of the committee, and she was successfully elected as the new Prime Minister.Although Donghao was unwilling, he could only be forced to appoint her.At the appointment ceremony, Soo-jin gives Dong-ho a warning, and she hopes Dong-ho won’t let her make the same mistake again—in other words, she hopes Dong-ho won’t treat her the way he treated President Jang Il-joon.
