Typhoon Family's crisis-overcoming duo Lee Junho and Kim Min-ha personally sent a word of encouragement to today's viewers.
Typhoon Family (directed by Lee Na-jung and Kim Dong-hwi, written by Jang Hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imaginus·Studio PIC·Tris Studio) depicts the struggling growth of novice company man Kang Taepung (Lee Junho), who becomes the president of a trading company in 1997 IMF with no employees, no money and nothing to sell. The heartfelt story of ordinary people who did not give up in the face of crisis and held each other's hands will offer a deep resonance to viewers living today.
Lee Junho and Kim Min-ha, who plunged into that fierce survival story as rookie boss Kang Taepung and ace accountant Oh Mi-seon, conveyed messages of encouragement to today's viewers, putting the spirit and firmness of their characters and their sincere commitment to the work into their performances. First, Lee Junho said, "I want to send a message of support to everyone living fiercely today across ages and generations. I hope this drama becomes a small comfort and encouragement to those who are doing their best in their places," conveying Kang Taepung's warm heart.
Kim Min-ha also said, "When things feel really dark and you feel like you are not moving forward, if you look around there is always at least a faint light. It's okay even if you yourself didn't see or feel it. Ultimately that light will appear, and I want to tell you that you are not alone," and added a heartfelt message of encouragement: "I also kept that feeling with me while filming. I hope that wish reaches those who watch."
Set in 1997, Typhoon Family has special meaning beyond a mere period piece because the intense survival stories of youths who lived through the past offer comfort and hope to those of us living in 2025. Expectations are focused on whether the story of weathering the huge wave of the IMF can become another source of courage for people living intense tomorrows today.
Typhoon Family will premiere this Saturday (11th) at 9:10 p.m. this week on tvN.<
