Premiere Watch: The Whirlwind
by missvictrix
Time slot: Friday (single drop)
Broadcaster: Netflix
Genre: Political, thriller
Episode count: 12
Reasons to watch: Netflix is back with another taut political thriller, this time attracting Sol Kyung-gu and Kim Hee-ae and vying ministers in the Blue House. In the aftermath of a presidential assassination, they’ll go head-to-head in what looks like an intense and twisty battle of political intrigue. There is no doubt in my mind that the performances here will be riveting.
TL;DR: Legendary cast of Sol Kyung-gu x Kim Hee-ae

Having just finished watching Uncle Samsik which definitely would have benefitted from a one and done drop, I can’t see anything coming close to that series in this genre. Looking forward to hearing what the beanies think.

Totally agreed that this type of dramas would best be delivered in one go. It’s about up keeping the momentum and tracking plot intricacy more easily, and remembering who’s who - instead of watching with the aid of a character chart. It will be heaven if Uncle Samsik is a single drop drama.

It's great to see Writer Park Kyung-soo back after 7 years since his last drama. However, I'm not sure about this weekly release schedule, which is similar to many US series. I might wait to binge-watch it.

I love that this is a single drop. It would work well to get immersed in the world and watch at ur own pace.
