The tvN weekend drama "Typhoon Company," starring actor Lee Junho, made a successful start by recording high viewership ratings in its first broadcast. The first episode, aired on the 11th, achieved an average nationwide household rating of 5.9% and a peak of 7.1%, ranking first in its time slot across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters. Additionally, the 2049 target demographic rating averaged 1.8% nationwide, peaking at 2.4%, also securing first place in the same time slot across all channels.

Set in 1997, "Typhoon Company" features Lee Junho as Kang Taepung, a rookie salesman at a trading company. In the early part of the broadcast, Kang Taepung captivates women's attention at a nightclub, exuding the charm of a free-spirited young man. However, his life rapidly changes due to his father's sudden illness and the economic crisis brought on by the IMF.

In the drama, Kang Taepung is portrayed as a youth enjoying freedom amid the prosperity achieved by his parents' generation, gaining popularity at the nightclub as a member of the "Abstract Boys." However, his father Kang Jinyoung (played by Sung Dong-il) faces severe difficulties due to business troubles. Taepung is unable to be by his father's bedside, and during this time, his father passes away. Through this process, Taepung shows growth as he experiences conflicts and wounds in his relationship with his father.

The drama realistically recreates the social atmosphere of 1997, depicting the hardships and challenges faced by office workers at the time. Employees of Typhoon Company symbolically express the life of workers on the eve of the IMF crisis by saying, "The fulfillment of work is not for myself but for the company, neighbors, and the country to prosper."

Lee Junho delivered a strong impact by expressing the character's emotions in detail. His acting deeply resonated with viewers, and the styling and speech he showed in the first broadcast well captured the era's background.

"Typhoon Company" airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM. Episode 2 is scheduled to air on the 12th, and Lee Junho's future activities are highly anticipated. The drama is expected to enhance interest by conveying the emotions of 1997 and telling the growth story of Kang Taepung.
