tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『Taepung Corporation" (played by Jang Hyun, directed by Lee Na-jung and Kim Dong-hwi) starring Lee Joon-ho is set to premiere on the 11th. Taepung Corporation is a follow-up to the drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" starring Lim Yoon-ah, and attention is focused on whether it can continue the all-time box office milestone.
`Taepung Corporation' is a work about Kang Tae-pung, a novice boss who became the president of a trading company with no IMF, no employees, no money, and nothing to sell in 1997. Lee Joon-ho will play Kang Tae-pung, who transforms himself from a free spirit in Apgujeong to a first-time president who runs with his feet to protect the company. In particular, this work follows the "Chef of the Tyrant" who set a milestone of 17.1% (Nilson Korea's paid households nationwide). Lim Yoon-ah set a milestone to the extent that she did not miss the top spot in the popularity of actors in the drama in which "The Tyrant's Chef" aired, and dominated the home turf with a surprising rise in viewership. Lim Yoon-ah won the top spot in the TV-OTT overall performance category for five consecutive weeks (based on Good Data Corporation Fundex) and the top spot in the Netflix Global TOP10 TV (non-English) category for two consecutive weeks (based on Netflix's official ranking aggregation site To Doom), captivating viewers around the world.
Attention is also focusing on whether Lee Joon-ho, who boasted high popularity by working together through King the Land, will be able to succeed. Lee Joon-ho has established himself as a global rock king by succeeding in succession with JTBC 'King the Land'. Thanks to his passionate performance, which unraveled the changing process of a rough character falling in love in three dimensions, the work recorded double-digit ratings and stimulated the excitement cells of overseas drama fans beyond Korea, and proved its global popularity by ranking first in Netflix's global TOP10 TV category (non-English).
Lee Joon-ho is melting into the IMF era with 'Taepung Corporation', heralding another acting variation. He reproduced the visuals of the 90s, such as bridge hair and colorful leather costumes, and made efforts to find data screens at the time and purchase costumes at his own expense, making a perfect transformation into youth at that time, drawing attention even before the show was aired. Attention is focusing on whether Lee Joon-ho, who has returned to the door for the first time in a long time, will be able to continue the box office craze through 「Taepung Corporation」.
