struggle?

FULL STORY
======================================================================

It's fair to say that politics is far from boring right now: the UK 
government's just called a general election and the US election cycle 
continues with what feels like daily drama. But real-life events have nothing 
on The Whirlwind , a political thriller where power struggles have a body 
count. 

 The Whirlwind is a new K-drama coming to Netflix on June 28, and it focuses 
on what happens when the President dies or rather, when the President is 
assassinated by his own Prime Minister. The teaser posters show Prime 
Minister Park Dong-ho (Sul Kyung-gu)and Deputy Prime Minister Jeong Su-jin 
(Kim Hee-ae) facing off next to the rapidly cooling President, and the show 
promises to deliver a fierce power struggle that'll keep you on the edge of 
your seat. Power, corruption and lies 

As you can see from the teaser trailer above, there's a lot going on here: 
power, allegations of corruption and a worrying number of guns. According to 
Netflix: "The dynamic interplay between good and evil promises to mesmerize 
audiences, with neither character emerging unscathed from the moral quagmire 
they find themselves in." And it appears that Netflix expects viewers to take 
sides in the drama, with some rooting for the compromised Prime Minister and 
others for his scheming deputy. 

This could be quite the gem that ends up earning a space on our best Netflix 
series list. The 12-episode series is written by Park Kyung-su, whose 
previous projects such as The Chaser and Punch have won both awards and 
critical acclaim, and its leads are both veteran actors who Netflix says 
"turn in electrifying performances". Sul Kyung-gu and Kim Hee-ae are best 
known for their roles in the critically acclaimed psychological drama A 
Normal Family , which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival to widespread 
acclaim. 

 The Whirlwind will be streaming globally on Netflix from June 28. You might
