Lee Jun-ho & Kim Min-ha Brace for IMF Crisis in tvN's 'Company of the Typhoon'
tvN's upcoming weekend drama 'Company of the Typhoon' has heightened anticipation with the release of a duo poster featuring the special chemistry between Lee Jun-ho and Kim Min-ha.
The drama is set against the backdrop of the 1997 IMF financial crisis, depicting the struggling yet resilient growth of rookie trading company president Kang Tae-poong (played by Lee Jun-ho), who finds himself leading a firm with no employees and no money.
In the unveiled poster, Kang Tae-poong displays an unwavering gaze and composure amidst the storm of the IMF crisis. Overnight, he is thrust into a position of responsibility for the survival of his employees, yet his determined resolve to overcome the challenges through solidarity with his staff is evident.
Oh Mi-seon, portrayed by Kim Min-ha, lives up to her description as 'an ace accountant who doesn't do things halfway.' She serves as a strong pillar of support for Company of the Typhoon, armed with meticulousness and a sense of duty. She guides the novice president Kang Tae-poong, teaching him the basics of the trading business and helping him grow into a true company man.
The production team stated, "Kang Tae-poong and Oh Mi-seon are reliable partners who will grow into professional traders through each other amidst the strong currents of the era." They added, "The strong solidarity and synergy the two will create will resonate deeply with viewers."
'Company of the Typhoon' aims to offer warm comfort and courage to those navigating difficult times today and is set to premiere on Saturday, October 11th, at 9:20 PM on tvN, following the popular drama 'The Tyrant's Chef'.
