Actor Kim Min-seok hinted at a versatile character transformation through Typhoon Family.
The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama Typhoon Family, which premiered on the 11th (directed by Na Jung Lee and Dong-hwi Kim, written by Hyun Jang), recorded first place among cable and general programming channels in its time slot and a nationwide rating of 6.8% (Nielsen Korea) in just two episodes, continuing a clear upward trend, and Kim Min-seok captured viewers' attention from the first week with his cheerful energy.
Typhoon Family is the story of 1997's IMF: the struggling growth of a rookie company man, Kang Taepung, who becomes the president of a trading company with no employees, no money and nothing to sell. In the drama, Kim Min-seok plays Wang Nam-mo, Kang Taepung (played by Junho Lee)'s close friend and the X-generation icon of Apgujeong in 1997, the 'Apstreet Boys.' Wang Nam-mo usually seems sly and frivolous, but he is a true tough guy who would throw his whole body into protecting his friends and love.
Kim Min-seok announced a striking first appearance with dance skills and lines that rival idols, and at the same time drew attention for his high-level singing by passionately performing The Blue's "With You" with Taepung. Meanwhile, amid the whirlpool of the IMF era, he stood by Taepung who lost his father, showing steadfast loyalty, and perfectly delivered everything from cheerful charm to deep friendship drama, stamping himself on viewers as a "versatile character."
In the second episode broadcast on the 12th, the image of youths swept up by the IMF typhoon is portrayed, increasing curiosity about future developments, and attention is focused on Kim Min-seok's performance that amplifies the drama's vitality and fun, from free-spirited youthful energy to his "true-friend chemistry" with Taepung.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-seok, who proved his presence as a "solo lead" with the TVING original shark : the storm in May, captured theaters this summer with the film Noise and emerged as an actor audiences can rely on. Riding this upward trend, Kim Min-seok is expected to continue an unstoppable box-office run with Typhoon Family.<
