Lee Jun-ho and Kim Min-ha delivered a direct sales line urging viewers to tune in live today (11th) ahead of the first broadcast.
tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Typhoon Family" (directed by Lee Na-jung and Kim Dong-hwi, written by Jang Hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imaginus, Studio PIC and Tris Studio) portrays the coming-of-age struggle of novice company man Kang Tae-poong (Lee Jun-ho), who becomes the president of a trading company with no employees, no money and nothing to sell during the 1997 IMF crisis. Finally today (11th), ahead of the first broadcast, viewers' attention is focused on "Typhoon Family," which will depict the passionate survival stories of ordinary people amid the historical storm of the IMF.
Lee Jun-ho, who hints at a variety of sides as the rookie president Kang Tae-poong of Typhoon Family, said with confidence in his first-broadcast remarks, "Typhoon Family has no employees, no money and nothing to sell, but inside it there is excitement and romance, and also empathy and consolation. I think it's a work that not only those who actually lived through 1997 but also those who did not experience that time can enjoy together."
Kim Min-ha, who will show another face of a period piece as ace accountant Oh Mi-seon, emphasized the show's varied charms, saying, "What makes Typhoon Family's real point is the variety of sights that will let people reminisce about that time, the realistic acting and stories that make you feel like you're living in the '90s, and above all the warmth." The two actors' direct sales pitches make viewers want to rush to the front row of their living rooms to check the first broadcast right away, raising anticipation to a peak.
The production team urged, "In today's first broadcast, the opening will begin to fully unfold the stories of people who held on to each other and endured, along with the atmosphere just before the 1997 IMF. Please look forward to and pay attention to the first broadcast of Typhoon Family, where laughter and tears, empathy and consolation coexist." tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Typhoon Family" will air its first episode today (11th) at 9:10 p.m. on Saturday.
Meanwhile, like the 'typhoon spirit' in which the whole nation overcame the crisis together during the chaotic IMF period, the "Typhoon Family and national cheering campaign" — which sends support to each other among today's Korean people — is starting. From today, 10/11 (Sat), until the final episode of "Typhoon Family," leave a cheer message on the tvN official website, and for every 10,000 cheer messages reached, IBK Industrial Bank will donate 10 million won to help small-business workers like those in Typhoon Family.
