"Sync rate 100%." 'Typhoon Family' cast members praised Lee Junho.
On the evening of the 5th, tvN aired 'Typhoon Family first day at work preparation,' where the production team of the new tvN Saturday-Sunday miniseries 'Typhoon Family' showed the main cast talking about the drama ahead of its official broadcast.
'Typhoon Family' is set in 1997 during the IMF and depicts the struggling coming-of-age story of rookie company man Kang Taepung (Lee Junho), who became the president of a trading company with no employees, no money and nothing to sell. The work, starring 2PM member and actor Lee Junho, who received praise for The Red Sleeve Cuff and King the Land, in the title role, is drawing expectations from drama fans.
Among them, Kim Jaehwa and Lee Sangjin, who played supporting roles in the work, talked about Kang Taepung in the drama. The two appear as Cha Seoncheok (Kim Jaehwa) and Baesongjung (Lee Sangjin), respectively. First, Lee Sangjin called Kang Taepung in the drama a "big rock" and drew laughter. He added, "Actor Lee Junho is amazing. The playboy-style suits him well, and he also acted in a way that made him feel like the president, so it was easy to immerse myself," he said.
In particular, Lee Sangjin said, "His attitude and everything, sync rate 100%," adding, "Junho hyung is a prankster on set. He jokes a lot, but when it's time to shoot he showed an incredibly clever side. I thought a lot about how clever a person can be," he emphasized. Kim Jaehwa also chimed in, "(Lee Junho is) the leader of our team. He checks on each actor's condition thoroughly. Our president," she said.
'Typhoon Family' draws attention for portraying the late 1990s and evoking cultural nostalgia such as fashion and popular music of the time. In response, Lee Sangjin joked, "We really paid attention to the clothes themselves. The hairstyle on the right isn't very visible now. We gave up visibility for the look and still paid attention," he said jokingly.
Kim Jaehwa also emphasized, "For costumes, the production team had the wardrobe team make them directly. They are very precious costumes to me." The production team added, "Kang Taepung's character has the feel of a company president's son. (Lee Junho) said he spent a lot on it himself." When Kim Jaehwa and Lee Sangjin heard the specific amount, they could not keep silent. Kim Jaehwa said, "That's impressive," in surprise, and Lee Sangjin said, "How am I supposed to react to this?" looking embarrassed.
The two said in unison, "That shows how sincerely he focused on the character and how much he prepared," and stressed, "He's so cool," raising expectations. 'Typhoon Family,' in which Lee Junho gives a passionate performance, will premiere on Saturday the 11th at 9:10 p.m.
