Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 1 plot

A flashback begins seven and a half hours before Prime Minister Park Dong-ho was arrested.Dong-ho is accused of accepting a huge bribe worth millions of won from a certain Mr. Choi.Prosecutors are expected to arrest Dong-ho.According to media reports, prosecutors have sufficient evidence to prove their guilt, and many have called for a faster trial.

Meanwhile, we see Dong-ho driving to the Blue House to secretly meet with President Jang Il-joon.We originally thought Dong-ho would plead for mercy, but the truth is shocking.It turns out that President Jang Il-joon framed Dong-ho and asked him to take the blame for his son.Although Dong-ho has been loyal throughout their long friendship, President Jang Il-joon is determined to make him a scapegoat.He thinks Dong-ho should turn a blind eye to his and his sons' crimes.Therefore, he hopes that Donghao can take responsibility silently and not resist.

Dong-ho, on the other hand, is confident and knows that there is no point in appealing to emotions or begging for forgiveness with President Jang Il-joon.He once saved President Jang Il-joon's life when he suffered a heart attack and was aware of his underlying health problems.

While talking to the president, Dong-ho switches the president's e-cigarette and gives him one that will cause cardiac arrest.He then walks out, meets chief of staff Yeon-sook, and pleads his innocence to her.Afterwards, Yeon-sook talks to the president and informs him that the prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into Dong-ho as per his request.However, Yeon-sook doubts that they will find evidence against him.While they were talking, President Jang Il-jun fell to the ground and was rushed to the Armed Forces Seoul Hospital.

Meanwhile, Dong-ho returns to the office and meets his concerned secretary Jung-yeon.Dong-ho assures her that they have done what they have to do to save the country and must now focus on the next plan.Dong-ho starts preparing his speech and waits for the call from the Blue House.Unfortunately, the Blue House called to inform them that President Jang Il-joon was still alive but in critical condition.Suddenly, they are forced to change their plans because Dong-ho can't immediately become the acting president.

Elsewhere, Deputy Prime Minister Su Zhen rushed to the hospital to be by the First Lady's side.At the same time, she conspired with Daejin Group Vice Chairman Kang Sang-woon to keep the president alive and arrest Dong-ho for personal gain.If President Jang Il-joon dies, she and Sang-yun will be imprisoned for corruption.When everyone rushed to the hospital, the doctor informed them that President Jang Il-jun needed surgery, but his survival rate was low.

After the doctor's announcement, Su Zhen called Dong Hao aside and warned him to turn a blind eye and save himself.However, Dong-ho remains unyielding and says he will expose Su-jin and the Dae-jin group as well as the president's crimes and destroy his reputation.Su Zhen is also ready to fight, she will do whatever it takes.She asked the first lady to order doctors to postpone President Jang Il-joon's surgery until 9 a.m.This gives her time to mobilize the prosecutor's office to arrest Dong-ho the next morning so he can't take over as president.

Realizing this, Dong-ho contacted Chairman Kang, a powerful politician with many connections.Chairman Kang has always coveted the presidential throne, but always failed.Dong-ho promises to give him a better chance of winning in the next election if he helps.When morning comes, the first lady, Su Zhen and the chief of staff are surprised to find that President Kang has brought a highly reputable doctor to observe the operation.The surgeons felt timid and ended the operation prematurely.

Meanwhile, Dong-ho goes to the hospital chapel to pray for a miracle.When Seoul District Attorney Han Chul showed up with an arrest warrant, he wasn't surprised.If anything, he confronted Suzhen and announced that he would take over as acting president whenever the president was unable to fulfill his duties.In other words, Han Chol cannot arrest him because the president cannot be charged while in office, and as acting president, this law also applies to him.

On the other side of the hospital, doctors held a press conference to announce that the surgery was a success, but that President Jang Il-joon was in a coma.Outside, Dong-ho addresses reporters, assuring all of China that he will take over the country until President Jang Il-jun recovers.Donghao knows very well that he doesn’t have much time.He faced huge opposition and accusations of fraud were leveled against him.If President Jang Il-joon doesn't wake up in the next month or so, the opposition will demand new elections.If President Jang Il-joon wakes up, he will have less time to prove his innocence and arrest Sang-yun and Su-jin.

Time is running out, so Dong-ho meets with his old friend and former prosecutor Sang-seok.He and Ki-tae, another prosecutor, tried to bring down the Dae-jin Group, but the results were not ideal.Sang-seok has long since given up the will to fight, but Dong-ho encourages him to regain his fighting spirit.They all agreed that Ki-tae's sacrifice should not be in vain.

Su-jin, who is also plotting, meets with Sang-woon and convinces him to reconsider his strategy of using false witnesses and the media to pursue Dong-ho.She suggests that he contact the opposition leader to force Dong-ho to resign as acting president.They also asked Han Zhe to forge some evidence among Zheng Xian's belongings to further frame Dong Hao.Media reported that Dong-ho ordered his secretary to hide funds for him.However, since the evidence was fabricated, it was difficult for Dong-ho and his team to prove their innocence.

After hearing the news, the National Assembly voted to expel Dong-ho from the Blue House.His only hope is to convince the cabinet members, but Su Zhen is one step ahead of him.She invites the cabinet members to lunch so that they won’t meet Dong-ho.Afterwards, she arranges a meeting with Dong-ho and explains that she will fight him to the end.She believes no one will side with Dong-ho because it would be political suicide.

At the Blue House, Yeon-sook begins to wonder what caused President Jang Il-joon to suddenly suffer cardiac arrest.She took his e-cigarette and asked for it to be analyzed.Doctors have discovered that e-cigarettes contain new drugs that are dangerous for people like the president with heart problems.It was clear that someone was trying to assassinate the president.

Yeon-sook quickly puts all the clues together and realizes that only Dong-ho can do this.She called Dong Hao to meet at the Blue House, and Dong Hao confessed everything.He gave her a tape of his confession and asked that he be given a month to deal with the corruption before turning himself in.Yeon-sook agrees to the deal and transfers her loyalty from President Jang Il-joon to Dong-ho.To help him, she asked the first lady to convene the cabinet for dinner and announce that the president was briefly awake.

According to Yeon-sook, the president asked Dong-ho to take over.Therefore, she orders her cabinet members to support Dong-ho and challenges anyone to deny President Jang Il-joon's request.As expected, Su-jin asks to verify the claim, but Yeon-sook quickly shuts her up.With everyone's agreement, Dong-ho took over the meeting and dismissed Su-jin as a cabinet member.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 2 plot

Taking the prelude to the assassination of President Jang Il-joon as the starting point, it goes back to three months before the incident.At that time, President Jang Il-jun and the First Lady had just returned from their international visits.Dong-ho was greeted at the airport by everyone, and he eagerly persuaded the president to stop the accusation against Ki-tae, convinced that he had been misjudged.However, Soo-jin calmly advises the president to let the judicial process take its course.

After the president and Soo-jin left, Jung-yeon hurriedly conveyed the sad news that Ki-tae committed suicide to Dong-ho.Donghao was heartbroken and hurried to mourn his best friend.That night, he called the president to warn him that he would pay the price for his poor decision-making.The president, busy in a meeting with Sang-woon, offered only an apology and refused to admit his responsibility in Ki-tae's death.After Dong-ho issued a stern warning, the president promised Sang-woon that he would personally handle Dong-ho's problem.

At this time, Xiuzhen received a report from secretary Wanji about the e-cigarette incident at the dinner.She learns that Yeon-sook has asked the doctor to conduct an in-depth investigation.Wanji obtained relevant documents by hacking into the hospital system and handed them to Xiuzhen.Xiuzhen decided to continue to delve into the matter and find a strategy to check and balance Donghao.She quickly visited Brigadier General Byun Oh at the Armed Forces General Hospital in the capital and firmly requested his assistance in planning the assassination of the sitting president.

At the same time, Donghao set about reforming the Procuratorate and hired Zhang Shuo as the prosecutor general.Although Yeon-sook worries that this move will stir up more opposition, Dong-ho insists that they must seize the opportunity, regardless of the consequences.The next day, he met Zhang Shuo in front of Ji Tai's grave and promised his old friend that he would persist to the end, even if he was in trouble.

They jointly vowed to uphold justice and see justice done no matter what difficulties lay ahead.To make his stance clear, Dong-ho refused to attend his first public event as acting president.When he was alone with Zhang Shuo, he received a call from Yan Shu and learned that the hospital system had been hacked and the e-cigarette was stolen.Donghao immediately concluded that Xiuzhen was behind the scenes.

On the other side, Xiuzhen called Wanji and ordered him to summon the media.However, Shang Yun used Min Ho to contain her.This is not the first time Shang Yun has used Minho's company to make illegal investments.Sang Yun plans to use this information to take Dong Hao for his own use and make him his puppet.Xiuzhen tried to dissuade him, but Shang Yun didn't take it seriously. He thought Dong Hao was just a wild dog that was difficult to tame.He goes one step further and threatens Soo-jin that if she exposes Dong-ho, he will expose her husband's illegal dealings.Sang Yun expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiu Zhen's promise to try his best to obtain amnesty for his father without taking direct action. He believed that cooperation with Dong Hao was more likely to achieve his goal.

During this period, Donghao and his team planned a counterattack against Xiuzhen and predicted her next move.When Shang Yun called and asked for a meeting, Dong Hao showed no intention of backing down.At first, he tries to deny the meeting with the president, but Sang-woon plays the recording, minutes before President Jang Il-joon's meeting with Dong-ho.In the recording, the president made it clear that he would meet with Dong-ho.Although Donghao felt pathetic about Shang Yun's tactics, when he mentioned his family, Donghao had to weigh the pros and cons.He listened to Shang Yun's request and promised to respond as soon as possible.However, in front of Zheng Yan, he admitted that he would not bow to Dajin Group.

A few days later, Soo-jin anxiously informed Sang-woon that Dong-ho was meeting with Speaker Park at the Blue House.She worries that Dong Hao is planning revenge, but Sang Yun firmly believes that Dong Hao will soon succumb to him and become his puppet.To prove his point, he brutally killed a hunting dog in front of Xiuzhen.

Meanwhile, Speaker Park has lunch with Dong-ho to discuss the possibility of involving President Jang Il-joon’s son Jang Hyun-soo.Hyun-soo is the beneficiary of the stolen private equity funds that Dong-ho is accused of stealing.Dong-ho tries to expose Hyun-soo's crimes by providing documents, but Speaker Park rejects the offer.He worries that taking action while Hyun Soo's father is unconscious will attract more enemies.

President Jang Il-joon is deeply loved by the people, who believe he is innocent.Politicians are afraid of the consequences if the truth is revealed, and they will not side with Dong-ho if he holds President Jang Il-joon accountable.Therefore, Speaker Park decided not to cooperate with Dong Ho to the end.

After a failed meeting with Speaker Park, Dong-ho received a call from Jang-seok and learned that the private equity fund fraud case had been transferred to the CIA and all prosecutors were ordered to drop the case.Dong-ho demands to speak to the CIA director immediately, but the director refuses his request because he is employed by Soo-jin.Faced with the dilemma, Donghao decided to implement his plan B.

On the other hand, Xiuzhen tried to persuade Yeon-sook to defect again, but Yeon-sook firmly refused and reminded Xiuzhen of her experience in college.Soo-jin is dissatisfied with Yeon-sook's attitude towards still treating her as a student, especially after she has achieved so much.

After Yeon-sook refuses to change her stance, Soo-jin threatens her and demands that she resign as chief of staff for remaining silent during President Jang Il-joon's assassination attempt.Afterwards, Yeon-sook revealed the meeting with Soo-jin to Dong-ho, and they began to plan their next move.

In prison, Shang Yun met with his father and assured him that he would be released soon.However, his father warned him to proceed with caution.Shang Yun is eager to prove himself and gain inheritance rights, and he is determined not to lose the company to his younger brother.

Taking a huge risk, Dong-ho and Yeon-sook stepped up security at the Blue House and invited Sang-woon to discuss their deal.Sang Yun thought Dong Hao had accepted his proposal and walked in with an arrogant attitude and a series of demands.

Sang-woon's first request is to release his father, and Dong-ho pretends to agree while preparing the drink.While Sang-woon was busy admiring the room, Dong-ho poisoned the drink.However, Sang-woon sees Dong-ho in the reflection of the painting and refuses to drink the drink.Sang-woon is shocked when Dong-ho drinks the drink and passes out immediately.

The Presidential Guard quickly arrived at the scene and arrested Sang-woon, accusing him of poisoning Dong-ho.This was actually Dong-ho's plan to make Sang-woon take responsibility for his attempt to poison the two presidents.Yeon-sook holds a press conference to announce that evidence of the two poisonings was found at Sang-woon's home, and that Sang-woon also hacked into the hospital system to access President Jang Il-joon's files.

After the press conference, Yeon-sook destroys Sang-woon's phone, eliminating evidence of Dong-ho's meeting with President Jang Il-joon that night.

Meanwhile, Jung-yeon sends Dong-ho to the military hospital, but Soo-jin calls Byun-oh and asks him to keep Dong-ho from surviving.Byun Oh refuses to allow a new doctor with experience in treating Dong Ho to participate in the treatment.While President Jang Il-joon regains consciousness, Dong-ho is fighting for his life.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 3 plot

The scene opens with President Jang Il-joon receiving the Nobel Prize.The whole Chinese people are proud of his achievements, but Donghao cannot share this joy because he knows the true face of President Jang Il-jun.

President Jang Il-joon tries to thank Dong-ho for his efforts and gives him a chance to request.Donghao asked him to resign.Jang Il-joon tries to reason with Dong-ho, but Dong-ho sticks to his guns and declares war on the president to protect his son.

Currently, with both Dong-ho and President Jang Il-joon receiving treatment at a military hospital, Yeon-seok declared a national emergency.On the other hand, Soo-jin orders Byeong-oh to stop the new poisoning expert doctor from helping Dong-ho.However, Yeon-seok had anticipated this, and she transferred Byeong-oh away from the hospital and appointed her own people.The new dean quickly approved the new team to treat Dong Hao.

The next morning, Yeon-seok came to the hospital and asked the doctor to ensure that President Jang Il-jun recovered slowly and not to take any first-aid measures.On the other hand, Jung-yeon tried to convince Dong-ho to take a break, but he stubbornly refused.He worries that time is running out and anticipates that Soo-jin’s next move will be to call in new legislators.He calls Jang-seok and asks him to coordinate with the few legislators he has to conduct a special investigation on Hyun-soo.

At the same time, Xiuzhen made a self-rescue plan with Shang Yun through a video call.Xiuzhen is worried about Shang Yun's situation because his case has been handed over to Zhang Shuo.She uses this opportunity to make Shang Yun surrender to her.

Out of desperation, Sang-woon asks her to contact his right-hand man Dong-soo to help her get him out.She asked him to stop contacting her husband and let her take charge.She plans to use their connections in the system to find a special prosecutor and get Zhang Qian to join them.After that, the prosecutor's office will lose their advantage and they will wait for the return of President Jang Il-joon to save them all.

As the plot develops, Hyun Soo is summoned to the prosecutor's office, where hundreds of people show up to support him and criticize the prosecutor's office.Unfortunately, Hyun Soo refuses to cooperate.Another problem is that Chairman Park refuses to help Dong-ho and scolds him for attacking Hyun-soo during a sensitive period.This time, Donghao is determined to stick to his guns and move forward with the case.He is curious about how things will play out when politicians pledge allegiance to President Jang Il-joon.

On the other hand, Xiuzhen failed to convince Zhang Qian to join the special prosecution team.She came to Jang Cheon's office and was surprised to find that the prosecutor's office had arrested Dong Soo.Dong-soo is one of the few people who knows the internal secrets of Dae-jin Group.He is Shang Yun's keeper and can lead prosecutors to find hidden secret funds.

However, Xiuzhen did not give up.She comes to the hospital to visit President Jang Il-joon, hoping he will wake up and stop Dong-ho.Unfortunately, doctors were under strict orders not to administer electroshock therapy to President Jang Il-joon.Since this is a military hospital, the doctors must obey Dong-ho's orders since he is the acting president.Xiuzhen realizes that time is running out for her.

Meanwhile, Dong-ho visits the First Lady and threatens her to order her son to confess.He points out that Soo-jin is unreliable and only saves herself.As they talk, prosecutors arrive at Min-ho's company to arrest him for fraud.Min-ho asks her for help, but Soo-jin is also scared.

As the rope tightens, Soo-jin takes her riskiest move yet.She sent her assistant Manji to watch outside while she killed President Jang Il-joon.She covered his face with wet wipes and a handkerchief the president gave her when they first won the election.She promises to save his legacy and family, then slowly watches him suffocate to death.

Dong-ho is about to convince the first lady to talk to her son when they receive news of President Jang Il-joon's death.Xiuzhen once again ruined Donghao's plan and saved herself.

The president's death shocked the country, and Soo-jin further incited public anger against Dong-ho.She lied and said that President Jang Il-joon finally gave in after learning about his son's arrest while he was still dying.She added that the president's last words were to reform the prosecutorial service and asked for forgiveness for failing the country.Even though Dong-ho is planning the president's funeral, people are completely betraying him.

Meanwhile, Xiuzhen establishes herself as one of the chief mourners, hoping to enhance her popularity among the people.When she and Dong-ho talk about her despicable behavior at President Jang Il-joon's memorial service, Yeon-seok announces that he will continue to investigate Yeon-soo, further angering the people.People are angry, and Soo-jin is forced to escort Dong-ho to the car to prevent him from hiding at the venue like a coward.

In the days leading up to the funeral, the family refuses to let Dong-ho deliver the eulogy and instead chooses Soo-jin, a momentous decision.Giving a eulogy means Soo-jin should be his successor.Of course, Soo-jin gives a touching speech, claiming that some bad elements are trying to destroy President Jang Il-joon's legacy and that she will protect it.At the funeral, she also refused to shake hands with Dong-ho in public.

Three days later, Zhang Shuo was caught off guard when he learned that the case against Xuan Xiu had been suspended.The prosecutor general even apologized to the first lady, and Pil Gyu did his best to embarrass Jang Seok despite being a subordinate.Pil Gyu is smug because Soo Jin supports him.After putting out the fire, Soo-jin suggested that Min-ho resign as CEO of the company and hand over his shares to Cheol-woon.With her popularity soaring, she's now focused on the next phase.

At the Blue House, Dong-ho and his team worry about his declining popularity and conflict with South Korea's Liberal Party.In fact, most of the ministers don't want to cooperate with Dong-ho and threaten to resign.Dong-ho cannot run the country without support.

He decided it was time to resign and relinquish his position as acting president.He held a press conference and announced his resignation.However, he vowed to return to the Blue House as a president legitimately elected by the people.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 4 plot

The debate between the presidential candidates of South Korea's Liberal Party is in full swing, and the public's attention is focused on the center of this political storm.With the exception of Dong-ho, the other candidates are trying to win over voters by leveraging their association with President Jang Il-joon.

Soo-jin takes a sharp look at Dong-ho's weakness and asks a series of pointed questions, questioning whether he has acted improperly towards the former president's family.However, Donghao showed his extraordinary wit and easily defused her attack.In this political contest, Xiuzhen's reputation gradually increased, while Donghao's reputation declined slightly.

Later, Xiuzhen made suggestions to Shang Yun, hoping that he would remain patient.She was convinced she would be the next president and promised to pardon him and his father.She believes that once she wins the election, all problems will be solved and Shang Yun can regain the family inheritance.She even imagined that she would win with an absolute advantage and send Dong Hao to prison.But is the game of politics really that simple?

She ordered Pil Gyu to continue to investigate Dong Ho in depth, and secretly provided some so-called explosive information to the media.However, Donghao is well prepared, knowing that in this game of power, only a greater strategy can defeat his opponent.

The media suddenly broke that Chairman Choi, who was being questioned by Pil Gyu, provided a handwritten statement claiming that he paid Dong Ho a huge sum of 1 billion won in exchange for exemption from tax audits during his tenure as prime minister.Shockingly, the media actually obtained this statement.Faced with such accusations, Donghao decided to take decisive countermeasures.He knew very well the truth of failure or failure and decided to fight it personally.

He contacted the CIA and asked them to take over the case.The current director Lee Jung-kwon is a close associate of Chairman Park, and they may be conspiring against Dong-ho.But Donghao was undaunted and decided to go to the CIA in person to accept the investigation and defeat Xiuzhen in this political game.

During the interrogation process, Donghao showed extraordinary calmness and wit.He cleverly got Chairman Choi to change the date in the statement, thereby clearing his name.The tampered date was November 12, and Dong-ho had ample evidence that he had dinner with Soo-jin that night and worked late into the night.This means he cannot be in two places at the same time.Soo-jin is faced with a difficult choice: admit her relationship with Dong-ho and testify against him, or lie in public and destroy her credibility.

This interrogation also exposed the CIA's improper persecution of Donghao.In the end, Xiuzhen chose to defend Donghao and also cleared his name.After learning the truth, President Park decided to stop the persecution of Donghao and reached some kind of agreement with him.

After a day of fierce struggle, Xiuzhen received a call from her husband.They had an argument on the phone over Minho's unwillingness to resign as CEO of Namsan Group.Minhao was jealous of his wife's success and wanted to make achievements in the political arena.But Xiuzhen understands that the road to politics is full of thorns and traps, and she needs to move forward more cautiously.

Through fond memories of their college days, we witness how the couple fell in love while protesting against the injustices of the government of the day.As the president of the student union, Minho's persistent pursuit of justice deeply moved Xiuzhen.However, as time goes by, Minho seems to have become the opposite of his youth.He becomes corrupt and even drags Xiuzhen into this quagmire.

If it weren't for Minho's greed, Shang Yun would not be able to use Xiuzhen and turn her into his puppet.Soo-jin is angry at what Min-ho has done, and she hates him for turning her into the monster they once both hated.But at the same time, she also understands that she plays an integral role in this change.

As the final stages of the primaries approach, all three presidential candidates are working to win the electoral vote.In order to win, Donghao decided to join forces with the opposition party Shangchuan.Sangchuan is burdened with a painful history because his father disappeared and went to North Korea.Years later, when he was pronounced dead, Dong-ho revealed to the media that Sang-cheon's father lived a wealthy life in North Korea, which displeased Sang-cheon.

Donghao uses his charm to threaten Shangchuan and get him to side with him.Shang Chuan was surprised by Dong Hao's courage instead of choosing to grovel and ask him for help.In the end, Shangchuan agreed to secretly collect electoral votes to support Donghao in the primary, even though it violated the law.

In the final debate of the South Korean Liberal Party, the three candidates - Soo Jin, Chairman Park and Dong Ho - each gave a campaign speech.Dong Hao's speech further impressed Shang Chuan and strengthened his determination to cooperate with Dong Hao.Meanwhile, Soo-jin is convinced that she will win because she has the support of former supporters of President Jang Il-joon.

Chairman Park, on the other hand, was frustrated after observing the electoral trends and it was clear that he was losing his chance of victory.He tries to communicate with Dong-ho, but the latter refuses to honor their agreement.In fact, Donghao discovered Chairman Park's hidden ulterior motives, which made him decide to abandon his cooperation with Chairman Park.Chairman Park withdrew from the election for the third time in desperation.

At the same time, on the last day of electoral registration, Soo-jin stood in front of President Jang Il-joon's tomb with President Jang Il-joon's wife and held a touching press conference.The two women hugged each other and burst into tears as they made a statement that clearly moved everyone present and boosted Soo-jin's reputation.

However, that night, Dong-ho and Jang-seok got together at their favorite restaurant and reminisced about the good times they had spent with Ki-tae.Dong-ho promises to create an ideal world for Ki-tae and asks Jang-seok to keep fighting when he encounters difficulties.Later, Dong-ho meets with Chairman Park and tells him that the matter is not over and reveals his deal with Sang-cheon.He reminds President Park that he chose to stand by when Ki-tae needed help the most.Although Chairman Park is biased against Sang-cheon, his moral bottom line is not enough for him to question Dong-ho's plan.

The next morning, Xiuzhen woke up with confidence, convinced that she would become the next president.The media and the public generally believe that she has a high chance of winning, and her supporters have appeared at various campaign events.However, everyone was shocked when the election results were revealed and Dong-ho was declared the winner.Soo-jin is stunned and speechless, and seems to be in a trance when Dong-ho reaches out his hand to celebrate his victory.This ending was obviously something she had not expected.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 5 plot

Ten years ago, Jiang Shangyun was arrested for fraud. However, he cleverly avoided the sanctions of the law and escaped the charges, putting the prosecutor team led by Donghao into an embarrassing situation.Due to his clever manipulation, the investigation team was disbanded and Jiang Shangyun was able to escape justice.

At that time, Donghao tried to seek help from his boss Zheng Quan, but failed.He was transferred to Congress, where he met Zhang Rijun, and the two formed a deep friendship due to their common pursuit of justice.They exchanged watches and vowed to create a future together.Things are unpredictable, and the current situation can be so complicated!

Now, with only one day left before the deadline for candidate declaration, Donghao is in trouble. Opposition from party members prevents him from submitting the application documents.Under the leadership of Su Zhen, the party members put pressure on the party leader to refuse to sign Dong Hao's declaration.In order to force Donghao to give up, party members even held an emergency meeting and asked him to withdraw his candidacy.

Meanwhile, Su Jin openly questions Dong Ho’s methods of winning the election and challenges him to reveal the truth.At the same time, Kang Sang-cheon also submitted documents as an opposition candidate.

Through a flashback, we learned that there was an unbearable past between Su Zhen and Jiang Shangqian.While in college, Su Zhen was actively involved in protests, while Jiang Sangqian was the person in charge of suppressing the protests.He once tortured Su Zhen for a long time, trying to find out the whereabouts of the committee leader Wan Hao.

Now Su-jin approaches Yeon-sook and promises her a higher position in exchange for her support.However, Yeon-sook reveals Su-jin's betrayal to Dong-ho, showing her a recording of Dong-ho admitting to trying to assassinate President Jang Il-joon.

Faced with an impending deadline, Dong-ho seeks peace and quiet with Jung-yeon to collect his thoughts.He looks back and reflects on his trust in Su-jin and how she led to Ki-tae's death.He felt deeply guilty and vowed to make Su Zhen pay for her betrayal.In front of Zheng Yan, he admitted that he had given up on the future and was willing to pay any price to avenge her brother.It is worth noting that Ki Tae and Jung Yeon are brother and sister.

After careful consideration, Donghao decided to take action.He suddenly visited Su Zhen and used her past with Jiang Shangqian to threaten her.He made it clear that if the party does not accept his candidacy, he will support Kang Sang-cheon instead.At the same time, he has Jung-yeon steal Su-jin's documents to ensure she can't submit her declaration by the deadline.

Su Zhen originally thought that Dong Hao would give up his candidacy and choose her as his replacement.She had prepared her declaration documents, but Dong-ho's intervention ruined her plans.If there are no accidents, Jiang Sangqian will win the election without an opponent and become the new president.

After arguing about who is the real devil, Su Zhen makes a decision.She chose to support Donghao, at least he never tortured her cruelly like Jiang Sangqian did.She calls the party leader and orders him to accept Dong-ho’s declaration.At the last moment, Donghao successfully submitted the declaration documents.The media quickly caught on to this change and reported on Su Jin's alliance with Dong Ho, who would work together to win the election.

Su Zhen first arranged for Dong Hao to conduct a series of press tours, and at the same time went to President Jang Il-jun's cemetery and the former first lady's residence to lay flowers and return the old watch exchanged with Jang Il-jun.She then fully immerses herself in Dong-ho's campaign, setting a schedule for him to ensure victory.

At the same time, she went to prison to visit Jiang Shangyun's father, who asked her to give up Jiang Shangyun if necessary to preserve the overall situation.Facing a complex situation and difficult choices, how will Su Zhen deal with this challenge?

As Election Day approaches, a crucial presidential debate arrives as scheduled.Kang Sang-cheon took a risky tack in this debate and used the fact that North Korea was building powerful weapons to launch an attack on Dong-ho.He accused President Jang Il-joon of wasting large amounts of money to aid North Korea and questioned Dong-ho's loyalty, claiming that Dong-ho intended to provide relief to North Korea.This is a very controversial topic, and Donghao's answer may be fatal to him if he is not careful.What’s even more serious is that recent reports indicate that North Korea has just successfully launched a new missile, which undoubtedly adds persuasiveness to Kang Sang-cheon’s argument.

Kang Sang-cheon, on the other hand, is known for his anti-North Korean stance and his approval ratings are rising.He has spent his life trying to prove himself because his father was accidentally captured by North Korean soldiers.Jiang Shangqian took this opportunity to build a career dedicated to catching spies and bringing them to justice.

In an effort to turn the situation around, Su-jin secretly introduces Dong-ho to Pil-gyu and reveals damaging information about Kang Sang-cheon to him.Although the public already knows that Kang Sang-cheon's father is living well in North Korea, what is less known is that Kang Sang-cheon sent money to help his father during the famine.To further complicate matters, Jiang Shangqian had a half-brother who acted as a messenger to receive the money.

However, the situation becomes more complicated.Jiang Shangqian's brother turned out to be the one who made nuclear weapons for their enemies.Faced with this news, Dong-ho is initially hesitant to ally with Su-jin and accept the information provided by Pil-kyu.He knew the information was from unknown sources and that using it could lead to legal trouble.But as Kang Sang-cheon's approval rating continues to rise, Dong-ho realizes he must take action.

On the morning of the last debate, Yeon-sook issued a warning to Dong-ho, reminding him to be careful of Su-jin.She threatens to use the recording in the safe to fight back if Dong-ho crosses the line.Unfortunately, Su-jin overhears their conversation through a bug installed in the watch the First Lady gave Dong-ho.

During the debate, Kang Sang-cheon unknowingly stepped into a trap he had set when he mentioned the North Korea issue.Donghao launched a fierce attack on Jiang Sangqian with conclusive evidence and successfully destroyed his support base.Su Zhen was delighted when she saw Jiang Shangqian's defeat because she remembered the suffering she had suffered at his hands.

On election day, Dong-ho won by an overwhelming margin and was officially declared the next president.However, during the celebration, Dong-ho ignores Su-jin's extended handshake, causing her to awkwardly walk away.

After Dong-ho is sworn in as the new president, he immediately takes action to oust Su-jin and Dae-jin from their high positions.However, they don't know that Su Zhen has obtained the recording from Yeon Sook's safe and is preparing to use it to threaten Dong Hao.She believes this is her best bargaining chip to control Donghao.

After Xiuzhen left quietly, Donghao calmly disassembled the watch while paying close attention to the news.It was reported in the news that Sang-woo's father, Young-ik, was pardoned after serving only two years in prison due to his serious deterioration in health.The driving force behind it was Dong Hao.

As soon as Yingyi was released from prison, he acted quickly and met with Xiuzhen, and the two discussed the next plan together.Although Soo-jin is skeptical of Dong-ho's intentions, she also wants to have more control.Time is running out and Sang-woo's trial is about to begin. If they try to defend him, the economic crimes behind him will inevitably surface.Yingyi promised to let Xiuzhen control Donghao's movements and ensure that their people could smoothly enter the core of the new government.

Soo-jin receives a list of candidates for cabinet and ministerial positions, which she recommends to Dong-ho.However, when meeting Dong-ho, she pretends that she needs more time to prepare the list.Dong-ho expresses dissatisfaction with this, accusing her of deliberately delaying and giving her one day to send him the list.

When Dong-ho saw the names on the list, he was shocked to find that most of them were related to various scandals.However, Xiuzhen retorted, pointing out that Donghao himself had ulterior secrets, so he was not qualified to accuse others.

In a flashback, we learn that Dong-ho was aware of the presence of the listening device the moment he received the watch.But he chose to take advantage of this to further seduce Xiuzhen.He played with her like a violin, trying to get the Otsu Group's employee list from her.After getting the list, he quickly listed his candidates, ignoring the 200 names suggested by Xiuzhen.

Speaking of Xiuzhen, she is always wary of her husband's reckless behavior.She was shocked when the candidates announced by Dong-ho were very different from the list she recommended.She met Dong-ho at the Blue House, expecting him to invite her to lunch, but her heart was too heavy to eat.In fact, she had already planned to hand over the recording to the media after the meeting.

However, shockingly, Dong-ho actually plays a recording of Soo-jin herself admitting to killing President Jang Il-joon.It turns out that Zhengyan and Wanlu had an emotional entanglement. Before returning the engagement ring to Wanlu, Zhengyan secretly installed a monitoring device in the ring.This ring inadvertently became the most powerful evidence in Donghao's hands.

Soo-jin is in trouble and forced to listen to Dong-ho's plan.The two spoke publicly for the first time about how they got to this point.Soo-jin can’t help but wonder if Dong-ho’s resentment towards her stems from her role in Ki-tae’s death, or if there’s some similarity in their personalities.She wonders if things would have been different if President Jang Il-joon had approached Dong-ho about his son's problems first.

She tried to defend herself, claiming she was just trying to preserve the president's legacy.However, Dong-ho admits that he has many reasons for his hatred of Soo-jin.Eventually, the two came to an agreement and decided to destroy all evidence against them and move on.

Meanwhile, Yeon-sook is also preparing for the coming storm.She firmly believes that the recording will be made public one day, and believes that Donghao will abide by his promise and surrender.However, she is shocked when Jung-yeon tells her that Dong-ho has no plans to leave the office.If anything, Dong-ho orders her to continue with his schedule.Yan Shu hurried to Dong Hao's office, but witnessed him destroying the recording.He firmly declared that he would never give up his position until corruption was eradicated.

Soon after, Dong-ho makes a shocking decision and asks Yeon-sook to resign.However, before he could explain the reason in detail, he rushed to meet with Chairman Park.Unexpectedly, Dong-ho proposed that Chairman Park be his prime minister, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean record during the upcoming confirmation hearing.

Dong-ho's wishful thinking is that he hopes Chairman Park can take the lead in accusing corrupt officials on the Dajin Group's employee list, using this as a springboard for his future political campaign.At the same time, he also plans to let Yeon-sook take over Chairman Park's original position to ensure the smooth implementation of his political layout.However, their meeting is suddenly interrupted when Chairman Park receives news that his son has been detained in an overseas casino due to unpaid gambling debts.

Meanwhile, Xiuzhen, after experiencing inner struggles, visits Yingyi and humbly resigns from her position, knowing full well that she has failed him.However, Yingyi did not give up on her, but gave her a second chance, thinking that she was still useful to him.He wants Soo Jin to focus on preventing Chairman Park from being promoted to Prime Minister because they don't want Chairman Park to go after their people.Soo-jin immediately sends Pil-gyu to inform Jang-seok about the gambling problem at Chairman Park’s house.After Zhang Xi learned the news, he called Dong Hao as expected and tried to warn him.

In another meeting with Chairman Park, Dong-ho tries to convince him to give up his son and focus on the upcoming confirmation hearing.He believes that President Park's son is an adult and should be held responsible for his actions.He also warned Chairman Park that paying gambling debts would violate foreign exchange laws because it was an international gambling case.However, Chairman Park is worried that his wife will become seriously ill from abandoning his son, and he implores Dong-ho to negotiate with Jang-seok to drop the case.In return, he will fully support Donghao.

The next morning, Zhang Xi received a call from Dong Hao with disappointment and was asked to meet in front of Ji Tae's grave.Dong-ho hoped that he could delay the case of Chairman Park's son, but Jang-seok firmly refused and submitted his resignation letter, saying that he was not a weak person and they had agreed to stick to it.Dong-ho is disappointed by this and realizes Jang-seok's determination.

The day of the confirmation hearing finally arrived, and Xiuzhen nervously watched the entire process in her office.She was fully prepared for Chairman Park's downfall, meeting with local councilor Mr. Min to ask him to raise the gambling issue and providing him with the necessary evidence.However, Mr. Min also meets with Chairman Park, who offers a more tempting deal, allowing Mr. Min to pretend there is no evidence to save his son.

Soo-jin is surprised to find that Mr. Min raises the issue as planned, but then suddenly abandons the matter, claiming that she has no evidence that Chairman Park saved his son by paying the debt.The farce allowed President Park to temporarily feel at ease in the parliament.However, the situation took a drastic turn when the media suddenly reported how President Park was using his brother-in-law to raise money for his son.Chairman Park felt so ashamed in public that he started crying during the hearing and admitted his mistake.

On the other hand, after deep reflection, Dong-ho calls Jang-seok and asks him to move on.He asks Jang-seok not to change himself, but he says he will change the world.After Chairman Park's hearing failed, Dong-ho met with his team and decided to nominate Soo-jin as the new prime minister candidate.He thinks Xiuzhen is the only person best suited for the job and the only one who won't say no.

This news surprised and worried Xiuzhen.She knows Dong-ho won't let her go so easily, and he plans to use her hearing to reveal her dirty secret.Dong-ho anonymously informs Chairman Park that it was Soo-jin who caused his hearing to fail.He also anonymously told Shangchuan that it was Xiuzhen who revealed the truth about his half-brother during the debate.He then sat back down, ready to enjoy the drama that was about to unfold, as he was sure that Soo-jin wouldn't be able to handle two fights at the same time.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 7 plot

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.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 8 plot

Ms. Xiuzhen officially took over as Prime Minister.In her inaugural address, she delivered profound insights about equality that were not widely recognized.Immediately afterwards, she visited Shang Yun in person and asked him to apologize for the previous controversial incident.

She seriously asked Shang Yun to keep silent and wait for her to properly handle the complicated relationship with Dong Hao.Although Shang Yun had doubts about this, Dong Hao was the current president after all, but he still chose to trust Ms. Xiu Zhen. After all, it is wiser to associate with the devil than Dong Hao, right?

Meanwhile, Dong-ho doesn’t stop his plans.He meets with Ying-ik in an attempt to intervene in the relationship between Xiu-jin and Sang-woon through the veteran politician.In exchange, Young Ik asked Dong Ho to let his cronies serve as NPS chairman.Yingyi also admitted that he needed to withdraw funds from the National Pension Fund to manipulate his company's stock price.

Yingyi accuses Donghao of sabotaging his career for many years and firmly believes that he should receive corresponding compensation.However, this price was obviously too high for Donghao, so he chose another strategy.

He deftly records a conversation in which Ying-ik talks about how to use the funds to solve his family's inheritance problems.Donghao's real purpose is to get Sang-yun into trouble so that his other son Sang-jin can successfully take over the company.However, Young-ik doesn't know that Yeon-sook is talking to Sang-woon and can hear all their conversations.

After learning about his father's plan, Shang Yun sang like a released canary.Breaking into tears, he revealed the Macau account number the company had used for fraudulent transactions.

Back at the Blue House, Dong-ho quickly summons Jung-kwon and promises to make him the next justice minister if he launches an investigation into Nam-san (Min-ho’s company).An investigation began immediately, and Minho rushed to his wife to seek shelter.

However, Ms. Xiuzhen learned that Shang Yun had leaked Macau account information.Over the years, her husband collected as much as 15 billion won in illegal gains from this account.Ms. Xiuzhen sternly warned Minho to assist those who handled Nanshan's account books and secretly sent them out of the country.

However, upon learning of the intentions of Ms. Soo-jin and her husband, Dong-ho convenes an emergency security meeting and mobilizes troops to apprehend the rebels as they try to flee the country.The army spared no effort to arrest the two people Minho tried to help escape.

Meanwhile, Dong-ho tries to persuade Ms. Soo-jin to leave the country so that she can't save her husband.However, Ms. Xiuzhen firmly rejected the proposal.Dong-ho tells her a story about a story President Jang Il-joon once told him, warning her not to stand in quicksand and ask for help.

As the situation becomes increasingly tense, Minho personally visits Sang-woon and pleads with him to save Ms. Soo-jin.He asked Sang-woon not to mention Ms. Soo-jin's name in his testimony, but Sang-woon said it was too late.Apparently, Minho also accepted illegal funds during the last election.This funding helped Dajin Group win votes for their people in government.

After the meeting, a frustrated Minho returns home to find Ms. Soo-jin crying and drinking.They talk about the past and the future, and Minho admits that he made mistakes in some ways.He tried to approach Ms. Xiuzhen, but she instinctively avoided him.Afterward, he persuaded her to take a rest while he stayed to reminisce about the past, looking through old photos of his college days when he participated in protests.

The next morning, Ms. Xiuzhen woke up and found a suicide note left by her husband.She asked Man-ri to call the police immediately, but was refused.Man-il persuaded Ms. Soo-jin that Min-ho's death was the best choice for everyone, including the 50 political candidates who received subsidies from Dae-jin Group.

Man-il firmly believes that this is Min-ho's wish and urges Soo-jin to act in accordance with his last wish.While the two were talking, Xiuzhen received a phone call and sadly learned that her husband had passed away.In Minho's suicide note, he hoped to be remembered as a young man who bravely fought against corruption, rather than as a failed politician and corrupt businessman.Xiuzhen was heartbroken and vowed to always remember her husband's youth and avenge him.

At Minho's memorial service, Xiuzhen met Sangchuan, and the two jointly planned a plan to hunt down Donghao.In return, Xiuzhen promised to recognize Shangchuan's father as a martyr and help him regain the trust of his supporters.

As a first step in revenge, Soo-jin sends Jang-seok a photo showing Jung-yeon purchasing the fatal drug that caused President Jang Il-joon's sudden deterioration in health.Zhang Shuo immediately met with Zheng Yan and questioned her about the matter, but Zheng Yan firmly denied it.

Zheng Yan insisted that she was out to avenge her brother, and she knew that Zhang Shuo would soon reveal the truth.However, she hopes to stall for time until other, more significant matters come to light.On the other hand, Zhang Shuo made it clear that he would not give up the pursuit of the truth.

During the period of mourning, Soo-jin personally visits Dong-ho and warns him that his days are numbered.At this moment, Zheng Yan rushed into the room and turned on the TV.In news reports, Sangchuan held a press conference and publicly called for an investigation into the cause of President Jang Il-joon's death.Soo-jin gives Dong-ho a stern warning that although he started the war, she will end it herself.

A team of prosecutors has been set up to investigate the case and question relevant witnesses.Jang-seok is appointed as the head of the investigation team, but Dong-ho calls him and asks for more time.

Jang Suk tries to convince Dong Ho to give up resistance before it's too late.He worries that Dong-ho has fallen into the delusion of self-aggrandizement that he can save the country and is turning into another President Jang Il-joon.However, after failing to convince Zhang Shuo, Donghao took extreme measures and arrested Zhang Shuo.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 9 plot

Xiuzhen started by calling Shang Yun on the eve of the hearing. She calmly informed him that all preparations were in place.They have obtained conclusive evidence and mobilized civil society organizations to stand by at any time.She gave him meticulous instructions on what to say on the witness stand.

She solemnly instructs him, and on that fateful night of November 17, Dong-ho finds him anxious about his imminent arrest the next day.Sang-woon issued a thoughtful statement detailing how Dong-ho sought his help in hopes of meeting President Jang Il-joon and begging for forgiveness.

However, according to Sang-yoon, President Jang Il-jun rejected his request for a meeting.In desperation, Dong-ho changes tactics and confesses to Sang-woon that he plans to make President Jang Il-joon disappear and ensure that South Korea has a new president the next day.

Yeon-sook attempts to use her influence to prevent members of the National Assembly from being misled by Sang-woon's testimony, but unfortunately, Soo-jin has masterfully taken control of the situation.Dong-ho holds a press conference to try to question Sang-woon's testimony, but this only puts himself in deeper trouble.

Sang Yun produced conclusive evidence that Dong Hao went to Qingwa Dae on the night of November 18.He firmly stated that he was not at the Blue House when the president was attacked.Regarding his relationship with Soo-jin, he candidly said that they had always been friends and that it was Soo-jin who encouraged him to come forward and reveal - the truth -.The more Dong Hao tries to refute Shang Yun's statement, the more disadvantageous his situation becomes.

Xiuzhen observed the political turmoil with interest and decided it was time to contact Sangqian to promote the impeachment agenda of Donghao.At the same time, she also organized protesters outside the Blue House to call for Dong Ho’s impeachment.She also threatened Chairman Park, forcing him to call Jung Kwon to release Jang Seok.

After his release, Jang-seok went to the Blue House to visit Dong-ho and promised him his firm support.Although Jang-seok is struggling between his responsibilities as a prosecutor and his friendship with Dong-ho, he knows exactly what choice he should make.Meanwhile, Dong-ho wants Jang-seok to stay upright, and his only request is that Soo-jin must be exposed as well.

At the hearing, Zhang Xi frankly expressed his doubts about the incident on the night of November 18.As Xiuzhen expected, his testimony almost sounded the death knell for Donghao's failure.She reveled in seeing Dong-ho betrayed by his only friend.As the situation becomes increasingly tense, Dong-ho meets with Young-ik and records the meeting.

During the meeting, he promised that if Yingyi could make Xiuzhen back down, he would give him half of his power.While they were discussing, the National Assembly passed a motion to impeach Dong-ho, and Soo-jin began to calculate her chances of winning as acting president.

Young-ik is hesitant, but Dong-ho's threat and promise to give him half of the power motivates him, making him decide to help Dong-ho and dismiss the impeachment motion.

On the other hand, at Shang Yun's request, Xiu Zhen openly targeted Ying Ik.At a press conference, she vowed to crack down on corrupt chaebols and issued a clear warning to Young-ik.Subsequently, she held a secret meeting with the former first lady and cabinet members at the Blue House, all of which was beyond Yeon-sook's control.However, Young-ik tracks down Hyun-soo, who successfully persuades his mother to lie to protect Dong-ho.

The former first lady changed her stance and publicly announced that it was Dong Ho who found her, not President Jang Il Joon, on the crucial night of November 18.Her move effectively eliminated Dong-ho's suspicion and called on supporters of President Jang Il-joon to give Dong-ho a chance.Soo-jin was shocked by this because it happened at a critical moment when she was trying to get President Jang Il-joon's approval for her plan.

However, hope is not entirely extinguished yet as the third impeachment hearing has yet to take place.This time, the justices of South Korea's Constitutional Court will shoulder the important task of voting. However, like the public, most of them are also deeply hesitant and confused about which side to believe.Dong Hao firmly believes that there is still time to turn things around and convince these justices. Xiu Zhen also holds this belief.

She already knew four of the nine justices were on their side, but victory was two more votes away.To this end, she worked closely with Wan-il and Pil-jiu to quickly collect sensitive information about the justices, and used this as a bargaining chip to try to force them to vote against Dong-ho.

At the same time, Yingyi was not to be outdone. He used his power to put pressure on the justices and threatened them to vote for Donghao.Even Yeon-sook tried her best to use her secret relationship with the former First Lady to threaten the leader of the Justice.

However, just before the vote, Dong-ho had a meeting with Young-ik.During this meeting, Dong-ho expresses his frustration with Soo-jin for always being one step ahead, and manages to record a conversation in which Young-ik talks about how Soo-jin is young and promising, and how they have sensitive information about the justices.What is even more shocking is that Yingyi confessed to himself in the recording.

The next day, when Xiuzhen sat confidently in the hearing, ready to enjoy the joy of victory, the justices unexpectedly rejected the motion to impeach Donghao.This undoubtedly gave her a heavy blow.

To make matters worse, Donghao summoned Xiuzhen afterwards and asked her to fulfill her duties as prime minister, and severely criticized her.He told her that she was colluding with the Dajin Group and was gradually becoming the kind of person she hated the most.However, Donghao also admitted that he was already one step ahead and advanced the plan to a deeper level.

The scene switches to Zheng Yan handing a video to Zhang Xi.The video, shot by Dong-ho, records Young-ik talking about how they manipulate South Korea's Constitutional Court to achieve their own ends.Jang-seok is shocked by Dong-ho's determination to perish with the entire system.

At this moment, Donghao held a press conference.At the press conference, he publicly admitted that he went to the Blue House on November 18 with the intention of killing President Jang Il-jun.This move will undoubtedly push the situation in South Korea's political arena to a new climax.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 10 plot

Donghao bravely revealed his crime during the live broadcast.In his solemn and firm words, he showed that he was ready to accept all accusations and calmly faced public doubts and accusations.He played a video in which Yingyi openly admitted to illegal contacts with political affairs and attempted to frame Xiuzhen.Later, Donghao solemnly promised that before leaving office, he would spare no effort to eradicate corrupt elements such as Sangchuan, Yingyi and Xiuzhen.He insisted that this would be his last act of devotion to the country.

Looking back on the past, Ki-tae cherishes the dream of seeking justice for the Daejin Group, and this belief drives him to join this political struggle.Seven months ago, Kitai inherited a national flag with profound historical significance from his family. This flag was passed down by his ancestors who participated in two North Korean wars. It has the signatures of his predecessors, which is of great significance to Kitai..He vowed to become an irresistible whirlwind and root out political corruption.After the press conference, the country entered a period of unprecedented turmoil, and Dong-ho became the first sitting president to be investigated.

He voluntarily went to the prosecutor's office for questioning and was received by Prosecutor Zhang Xi.Zhang Xi told Dong Hao that his family was facing difficulties and his son even had the idea of ​​dropping out of school.However, Donghao sticks to his faith and is determined to fight to the end.Therefore, Zhang Xi promised to do his best to protect his family.Donghao made it clear that Xiuzhen is their priority target and she must bear the consequences of her crimes.At the same time, Xiuzhen and Shangchuan met secretly to recruit new partners to join their camp.

They go to Ying-ik's residence and try to convince him to join them.Young-ik eventually agrees to use his influence to get the prosecutor to side with them, launching a savage attack on Dong-ho and applying for an arrest warrant.Xiuzhen actively mobilized Piljiu to lead the prosecutor team.She and Shangchuan also sent supporters to protest outside the prosecutor's office.Jang-seok is shocked when his fellow prosecutors burst into his office and tell him that they have filed an arrest request against Dong-ho.On the other hand, Dong-ho has asked Yeon-sook and Jung-yeon to keep their distance from him in advance to protect themselves.He expected that Xiuzhen would do this, but he didn't expect that Yanshu would stand firmly on his side against his wishes.

Yan Shu decisively interrupted Xiu Zhen's press conference. She refuted the accusations against Xiu Zhen one by one and announced the implementation of martial law.Although Xiuzhen insists that she is innocent, her defense pales in front of the truth revealed by Yan Shu.Yeon-sook provides more solid evidence, revealing the truth about how Soo-jin threatened the judge.Xiuzhen was shocked and covered her face in shame.Dong-ho calls Yeon-sook and asks her to continue exposing Soo-jin and Sang-cheon's crimes.Yeon-sook moves quickly to accuse Sang-cheon's supporters of being spies, leading to violent clashes between protesters outside the prosecutor's office.

Donghao decisively ordered the arrest of these protesters and charged them with rebellion.He drove Pilgiu out of the office without mercy.Before leaving, he solemnly promised to return to society as an ordinary citizen and take full responsibility for his actions.After returning to the Blue House, Yeon-sook swore allegiance to Dong-ho again.He asked her to make a list of innocent politicians who needed protection.He then sent prosecutors to hunt down the judges who colluded with Soo-jin, fired Piljiu, and refused to give Jang-seok more time to deal with the internal disputes in the prosecutor's office.

Faced with the silence of the judges and the strike protest by half of the prosecutors, Donghao took decisive action.He revealed to the media that one of the judges was cooperating with the investigation.After learning the news, Yingyi quickly planned a meeting in an attempt to bribe the three judges on their side.However, Donghao has already understood his plan.He called Shang Yun and revealed the location of Ying Yi's meeting.He promised Shang Yun that as long as Shang Yun was willing to cooperate, he would help Shang Yun gain control of the company.Yingyi and Shang Zhen were exposed on the spot in their conspiracy to bribe the judge, and both were quickly arrested and taken away.

This incident attracted widespread attention and condemnation from society, and public anger against political corruption reached its peak.Immediately afterwards, Donghao turned his attention to Shangchuan. He investigated in depth and revealed the truth about Shangchuan's murder of his family.This bombshell news spread quickly through the media, and Shangchuan's crimes were made public. He immediately lost the support of his party and followers, and his political career completely collapsed.At the same time, Xiuzhen began to feel unprecedented pressure and anxiety.She knew that Donghao's next target was her, which made her feel inescapable fear.

In order to seek some comfort, she decided to go to the Blue House to visit Donghao in person.There, she recalled the happy times with Dong-ho and President Jang Il-joon when they first arrived at the Blue House. At that time, they shared the same ideals and beliefs, but now they have reached this point.Facing Xiuzhen's arrival, Donghao did not show too much emotion.He told Xiuzhen directly that she must step down along with the 50 congressmen who accepted illegal campaign funds.Such a request makes Xiuzhen feel desperate, but she also understands that this is an inevitable fate.While the two were talking, Xiuzhen received a call from her daughter.

During the call, her daughter told her that police were searching their house, which left her shocked and panicked.She hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed home to comfort her daughter.Back home, Soo-jin spends the night thinking about Dong-ho’s last request.She knew this meant she would lose everything - status, power, wealth and fame.Under great pressure, she wrote something on her laptop, which was her inner struggle and choice.

Korean drama《Political whirlwind》Episode 11 plot

Wan-gil secretly handed Min-ho's tablet to Jang-seok, and he asked Jang-seok to spare him and his family in exchange for a tablet that allegedly contained information on all of Min-ho's illegal transactions in Nanshan.

Xiuzhen is in the prosecutor's office, preparing to be interrogated by Jang Xi.But she was not defenseless.Soo-jin tampered with Min-ho's diary on the tablet to make President Jang Il-joon look innocent.She made up a story that her husband was in cahoots with Sang Tian and that President Jang Il-joon betrayed his son.

Unfortunately, Dong-ho holds a press conference to clear Ki-tae's name based on the so-called evidence on Min-ho's tablet.He insists that all the facts on the tablet are true, unaware that Soo-jin added her own version to the diary.

By the time Dong-ho realized his mistake, he had given Soo-jin what she wanted.Soo-jin paints him as a ruthless person who killed the innocent President Jang Il-joon.

The next day, Dong-ho recalls what President Jang Il-joon once told him, to lie so confidently that the other person starts to doubt what they are seeing.Dong-ho meets with Jang-seok and admits that he was wrong.

Supporters of President Jang Il-joon will never believe the former president could do anything wrong.Therefore, they need to adapt to living in a world where President Jang Il-joon is still a saint.

Unfortunately, they didn't realize someone had taken their picture while they were talking.Meanwhile, Dong-ho gets a call informing him that Soo-jin has submitted a special prosecutor bill and it has been passed.

She recommended lawyer Choi Jin-soo as a special prosecutor and worked hard to make Jang-seok lose his credibility as a prosecutor.She further escalates the situation by using a photo taken that morning of her conversation with Dong-ho.Dong-ho, on the other hand, vetoes the bill and faces questions about his relationship with Jang-seok.

On the mountain, Soo-jin feels scared because Dong-ho only gives her a few seconds to decide whether to go down alone or with 50 council members.He also threatens to expose her as the real murderer of President Jang Il-joon.

As she was about to make a decision, Wangier was rescued by the police and he called her.He apologizes and explains that Jung-yeon took his new phone and there was nothing in it.Instead of telling the protesters to stop, she gave them the signal to come in.She has asked police to stand down and warned the chief to be on the 《 and right 》 side of history.
