tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Typhoon Company" Lee Junho and Kim Min-seok form the "Apstreet Boys," roaming Apgujeong-dong in 1997 and exploding with stylish chemistry.
tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Typhoon Company" (directed by Lee Najung and Kim Dong-hwi, written by Jang Hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imaginus·Studio PIC·Tris Studio) depicts the struggle and growth of rookie company man "Kang Taepung" (Lee Junho), who became the president of a trading company during the 1997 IMF with no employees, no money, and nothing to sell. But before Kang Taepung was swept up in the IMF typhoon, he had friends who burned their youth together in freedom. If the Backstreet Boys dominated the Billboard charts at the time, "Typhoon Company" has the "Apstreet Boys," who ruled Apgujeong-dong.
At the center is Kang Taepung, who is in charge of looks. Kang Taepung, who lives and dies by style, leaves the hearts of women in ruins wherever he goes. His best friend Wang Nam-mo (Kim Min-seok) is in charge of tricks. The part where he firmly believes he is responsible for the looks is a comedic highlight. Although he usually seems lightweight and not good at fighting, he is a real tough guy who would throw his whole body for his friends or love. In addition, Yoon Seong (Yang Byung-yeol), Daehyup (Kim Young-jae), and Jeonggwan (Park Seong-hyun) come together as the "Apstreet Boys."
The three still cuts released today (19th) colorfully capture the youthful energy of the "Apstreet Boys" ruling Apgujeong-dong. Kang Taepung strikes a pose with heavy charisma next to Wang Nam-mo, who slyly responds to street interviews. In the following image, they sit side by side in a greenhouse exchanging looks, and at a drinking table they playfully tug each other's hair, showing the relationship of two people who are friends and like brothers in a delightful way. The vitality of youth and buddy chemistry conveyed through this raises expectations for the laughter and empathy "Typhoon Company" will offer.
The production team said Kang Taepung and Wang Nam-mo "are the duo that most vividly shows the free-spiritedness and friendship of youth in 1997," and added, "The relationship between the two, full of humor and loyalty, brings energy to the drama and will deliver big laughs and deep empathy to viewers at the same time."
Through the hot survival stories of ordinary people who kept their places and did not stop living even during a crisis that struck Korea as if the world had ended, tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Typhoon Company" will offer warm comfort and courage to someone going through a hard moment today. It will premiere as the successor to the currently popular "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 9:10 p.m.
