Producer Na Young-seok expressed envy and fandom toward Typhoon Family's Lee Joon-ho and Kim Min-ha.
On the 27th, a live broadcast titled "Special interview with Typhoon Family President Kang Tae-poong and Deputy Om Mi-seon" was held on Channel Fifteen Night.
On that day's live broadcast, tvN weekend drama Typhoon Family lead actors Lee Joon-ho and Kim Min-ha appeared as guests and talked about the drama.
Producer Na Young-seok introduced it by saying, "It's a talked-about drama. 'Typhoon Family'" and frankly confessed, "Ah, I'm happy, the ratings are doing well. To be honest, I don't really like seeing others do well. It's not my drama anyway." At the same time he said, "But personally it's a drama I enjoy watching, so I was actually looking forward to this time today. He has become the president and now the deputy. Sometimes we have programs like that too. Programs that have only a main PD and no secondary. Programs that don't do well. Right now it's just the president and the two of them, isn't it, not yet," showing his fandom for the work.
He joked, "I watched up to episode 6 and enjoyed it yesterday, and for me it means something because I am an active member of Generation X. Please look at me with eyes of respect," and explained, "I got this outfit from President Typhoon—the outfit he actually wore during the poster shoot—so I tried it on. Because I am truly Generation X, and here it's acting. Because of such differences, I'll review this drama sharply from the perspective of Generation X, point out what needs pointing out. We'll have time to talk about things like 'Our Generation X wasn't like that.'"
A catch-up talk then began, and Producer Na Young-seok asked, "I heard filming recently ended." Lee Joon-ho said, "It ended just one week ago. It's a total of 16 episodes," and Producer Na Young-seok said, "Are there still 10 episodes to go?" adding, "Then it will take a little time to punish the annoying son of the Pyo family. But we're delivering some small punches in between," expressing anticipation.
Lee Joon-ho hinted, "We are delivering small punches, and in a way our drama is about youth, growth and human stories, so it aims to portray the ordinary citizen life living through that time, and there may or may not be huge catharsis," and Kim Min-ha noted, "Because it's about life, it may not break everything down dramatically, but it feels like gradual growth."
Producer Na Young-seok said, "That's right. When you watch, usually in corporate dramas the president is in dramas of a size like 'Did you bet on week 15?' This time Joon-ho says he'll buy shoes and brings 5,000,000 won for that size. But because of that it may somehow resonate more. If the two suddenly get tens of billions, wouldn't that be strange?" Lee Joon-ho said, "It would be strange suddenly, and in this week's episode there is a story about romance. Taepung calls Mi-seon and asks, 'Is there no romance?' I thought that line is something we are seeking these days, something I personally want to feel."
Then Producer Na Young-seok overinvested in the love line, saying, "They'll do well soon. It'll follow soon." He continued, "I jumped ahead too much. Those who have been enjoying Typhoon Family will understand our story, but there are people who watch it sporadically or haven't seen it yet. We need to draw in those potential viewers so the ratings go 10%, 20%, 30% steadily. It's a little late, but please briefly introduce what kind of drama this is."
Lee Joon-ho said, "It's a story in Korea about overcoming the major hardship of the IMF in the past and how people survived in that situation. Typhoon Family is about how Tae-poong inherited the company from his father and tries to save that company. It's also about whether people working at that company, if they cooperate, can overcome it through the power of love. It's also about love between colleagues. You can look forward to it," and introduced it as, "It's also a story about the romance between people that we have been forgetting these days. It shows whether adults back then overcame and endured, and how they overcome with the typhoon spirit."
