Typhoon Family takes place during the Asian economic crisis of 1997 (IMF). Kang Tae Poong (Lee Junho) is a flamboyant young man from a wealthy family who has always lived freely and stylishly. However, his life changes drastically when he suddenly has to lead a bankrupt trading company: with no employees, no capital, and no products to sell. From this starting point, Tae Poong is forced to grow into a tough entrepreneur.

In his interview, Junho revealed that he was greatly inspired by his childhood experiences during the IMF crisis. He remembers his parents working hard, as well as the national campaign to collect gold to help the Korean economy. From there, he wanted to present a sense of struggle that could be felt by any generation.

In terms of appearance, Junho emphasizes the details of 90s style by wearing leather jackets, denim-on-denim, work shoes, and earrings that were popular at the time. Not only the outward appearance, he also builds Tae Poong's character as a figure who can be a reliable older brother, a husband, a father, and even the kind of leader that people aspire to.

3. Setting and Atmosphere of 1997

Junho also appreciates the set that the production team built. From the nightclub, broadcasting station, to the hairstyles and costumes of the actors, everything is made to resemble the atmosphere of 1997. This helps him to more easily get into character and truly feel alive in that era.

With a relevant theme and colorful main characters, Typhoon Family has become one of the most anticipated Korean dramas this season. Lee Junho himself hopes that viewers can laugh, cry, and find comfort through the story of Kang Tae Poong.
