Another user wrote, "The first couple of episodes of #Tempest Korean drama on Disney+ have been quite intriguing. For a change, we have Gang Dongwon, who hasn't done kdramas in a long time. Jun Jihun is back, too, in this espionage, political thriller mystery. And we have John Cho in a serious role here. #JunJiHun #GangDongWon #JohnCho #kdrama".

"TEMPEST 100/10- Disney Plus: One of the best political spy fiction series this year! Salute to the team, especially the scriptwriters. You guys made an incredible series. I have never cried this much for a political series. In Episode 3, the speech of Munju during her debut as a candidate for the South Korean presidency was so touching", wrote the third user.
