The two actors showed great chemistry, teasing the weight and excitement of the youth story that the TV series will present. In relation to this, the production team said, "'Typhoon Business' is a passionate story about ordinary people who survived the IMF crisis.
"It will provide memories of survival for the X generation who lived through 1997, and empathy and comfort for the MZ generation, who will be able to understand and respect their parents' generation," he added.
I hope that the 'Typhoon Spirit' of that era, which overcame adversity and moved forward, will also inspire hope and courage for viewers living today." "We hope that there will be a lot of anticipation and interest in 'Typhoon Business,' which will premiere in October," he said.
Meanwhile, tvN's new Saturday and Sunday TV series "Typhoon Trading" is set in 1997 in the IMF, where a novice businessman named Sara becomes the president of a trading company with no staff, no money, and nothing to sell.
This film depicts the lone struggle and growth period of office worker Kang Tae-poong.
