Typhoon Family is the journey to adulthood of Kang Tae Poong (Lee June) - a rich prince who suddenly became the head of a trading company on the brink of bankruptcy during the Asian financial crisis - IMF in 1997.
Accompanying Tae Poong to revive the company are talented accountant Oh Mi Seon (Kim Min Ha), sales director Go Ma Jin (Lee Chang Hoon), Deputy Director of General Department Cha Seon Taek (Kim Jae Hwa), Executive Director of Koo Myung Kwan Management Department (Kim Song Il) and Assistant Director of Logistics Department Bae Song Joong (Lee Sang Jin).
After airing the first 2 episodes, the film scored points thanks to realistically recreating the 1997 setting from the atmosphere, music, to the costumes of the characters. In addition, it is a story that those who are living with an uncertain future can sympathize with. Lee Junho and Kim Min Ha's acting is round and suitable for the role. In particular, the scene where the character pair secretly looks at each other on the train is considered cute.
If Stormy Family marks June Lees return after The gia Hotel, it is the return of Kim Min Ha after 7 Days together. To recreate a character from 1997 and better understand that time, Kim Min Ha has reached out to people who have gone through the IMF crisis and listened to them share their own stories.
They told me, Its very difficult, but we cant give up because we have to take care of our family. Thanks to those who lived through that time, I can tell this story today. That made me approach the work more carefully and sincerely, she said.
According to Kim Min Ha, she herself contributed the idea to the appearance of the character Mi Seon, from the patterned sweater, the gray face mixed with Nhung stains...
I find Mi Seon more focused on work and family than herself - a bit classic but simple. I try to express that by keeping my style as simple as possible. During filming, I started speaking the Seoul (South Korean) sound of the 1990s and chose to behave reservedly to suit the times.
Through Storm Family, the actress born in 1995 hopes that viewers will receive a message of hope and connection, because for her every era has its own crises, but the power to rise up by exploring love and the things that are really important will never change.
