tvN 'Typhoon Family' Lee Joon-ho begins to grow in earnest.

The tvN weekend drama 'Typhoon Family' (directed by Na Jung Lee and Dong-hwi Kim, written by Hyun Jang, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imaginus·Studio PIC·Tris Studio), which premiered on the 11th, perfectly restored the atmosphere and sensibility of 1997 and launched to heated praise. From the free-spirited youth of Apgujeong, Kang Tae-poong (Lee Joon-ho) is drawn into the stormy season of the IMF, and his ending left a deep aftertaste for viewers. With sensuous direction that evokes nostalgia for the era, Lee Joon-ho's wide-ranging emotional acting that shifts between laughter and tears and Kim Min-ha's presence, worthy of being the "face of period dramas," formed a perfect harmony and heightened immersion.

In episode 2, airing today (the 12th), Kang Tae-poong, who faces the "season of storms," makes a fresh start as a new employee at Typhoon Family. After the sudden death of his father Kang Jin-young (Sung Dong-il), to protect the 26 years his father had built day and night, he gives up his dream of a greenhouse of flowers and sits down at the company desk.

Related still cuts reveal Tae-poong arriving at work at Typhoon Family. On the first day he watches his surroundings while folding paper in all directions, but his expression changes as he gradually learns the job. Another image shows him communicating with a client, and he already gives off a fairly "company man" vibe. Although he is still a rookie who doesn't know much, his sharp instincts and initiative are expected to surprise Typhoon Family employees. All eyes are on whether Tae-poong can save Typhoon Family from the brink of bankruptcy.

By his side is ace accountant Oh Mi-seon (Kim Min-ha). In the previous episode the two had an interesting first meeting. Tae-poong, exhausted from tending flowers in the greenhouse all night, dozed off while waiting for the subway, holding the cosmos he had grown. He even committed the rudeness of burying his head on the shoulder of Mi-seon, who was standing in front of him. Mi-seon watched Tae-poong, who while fighting sleep still gave his seat to an elderly woman, with curious eyes. But when Tae-poong's gaze landed on her, she didn't know what to do. In fact, Tae-poong had been taken with the department store luxury goods advertisement in the newspaper Mi-seon was holding, but his drooping eyelids and fidgeting left a very strong impression on her. Perhaps for that reason, she placed the single cosmos he dropped on the Typhoon Family office desk.

Today (the 12th), the two reunite as Typhoon Family employees, and Mi-seon will introduce Tae-poong to the real world of company men one step at a time, showcasing a special duo chemistry. Above all, at the end of the previous episode there was a hinted scene in which Jin-young, briefly regaining consciousness just before death, grasped Mi-seon's hand, who had come to visit, and seemed to leave some final words about his son Tae-poong. Mi-seon, who harbors gratitude toward the warm boss Jin-young who cared for her like family, such as paying her younger sibling's first college tuition, raises expectations for how she will guide Tae-poong.

The production team said, "In episode 2 the true coming-of-age story of Kang Tae-poong, who faces society for the first time amid his father's absence, unfolds in earnest," and asked viewers to "join Tae-poong on his reckless but sincere first day at work." They added, "The realistic and warm 'company man chemistry' created by Lee Joon-ho and Kim Min-ha will be another highlight of the drama," asking for anticipation. Episode 2 of 'Typhoon Family' airs today (the 12th) at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
