A new chapter of hope and hardship unfolds as Typhoon Family premieres on October 11, capturing the spirit of a generation navigating the storms of South Korea’s 1997 financial crisis. The drama series dives into the struggles and transformations of youth thrust into adulthood by circumstance, offering a heartfelt portrayal of resilience and hope in uncertain times.
In Typhoon Family, Lee Jun-ho, known for his role in King the Land, stars as Kang Tae-poong, once a member of Apgujeong’s famed Orange Tribe, a group of affluent youth in the 1990s celebrated for their fearless fashion and carefree lifestyle. Tae-poong’s glamorous world is upended when he unexpectedly becomes the CEO of a failing trading company, forcing him to abandon luxury for responsibility and confront the harsh realities of survival.
Joining him is Kim Min-ha, acclaimed for her performance in Pachinko, as Oh Mi-seon. She is a resilient and determined woman who embodies the quintessential eldest daughter, balancing her family’s needs while striving to build her career in a male-dominated society.
The newly released teaser poster perfectly captures the essence of 1997, blending youthful energy, bold fashion, and the looming challenges that defined an era. Tae-poong’s transformation from privileged youth to reluctant leader mirrors the experiences of countless ordinary heroes who persevered when everything seemed lost.
Lee Jun-ho shared that he is thrilled to return with Typhoon Family after King the Land, hoping the story brings laughter, comfort, and connection while encouraging viewers to find strength in unexpected places and reconnect with the spirit of the 90s.
Kim Min-ha expressed that she is honored to play Oh Mi-seon and emphasized that Typhoon Family was created with heart by the entire cast and production team. She hopes viewers will feel every moment of youth, hope, hardship, and triumph as they join the series on its emotional journey.
Typhoon Family offers a fresh yet reverent look at a pivotal period in history, a story of survival, growth, and unshakable hope. Catch its premiere on October 11, only on Netflix.
