The 2049 target audience rating also topped all channels, including terrestrial broadcasting, with an average of 2.4% and up to 2.7%.

Kang Tae-pung (Lee Joon-ho), who was looking for a stable, reliable, and money-sweeping business, turned to 'Natil' and encountered the Public Procurement Service's International Cooperation Group's 'Fortune of Hope'. It was a government-sponsored project to send aid supplies to build schools and hospitals in Africa. However, the main items have already been dominated by large companies, and the only thing left is surgical gloves without even a domestic production plant. The only person who could save Typhoon Corporation, which lacked experience in public works and capital to put a deposit, was the former director of the management department, Life Insurance Officer (Kim Song-il).
But Myeonggwan set foot on the wrong path. When things didn't go my way after leaving the company, I fell into a pseudo-group claiming the Y2K apocalypse. Typhoon and Oh Mi-sun (Kim Min-ha) chased and persuaded a master coffin distributing special prayer leaflets on the street, but were kicked out, saying 'Satan'. To make matters worse, the Public Procurement Service even received an official letter from the Public Procurement Service not to participate in the bidding.
Then, Myeonggwan took the mound to save Typhoon Sangsa. Knowing the habits of public officials, he told them to file an objection due to procedural problems such as unclear restrictions on participation qualifications and discrimination against small and medium-sized enterprises. As a result, the procurement agency's Cha Joo-sa (Jeong Soo-young) had no choice but to allow unprecedented Typhoon Corporation to participate in the bidding. However, at the Public Procurement Service, where he went to apply for bidding, Typhoon faced Yoo Sang-joon (Mujinsung) of Sang-seon. Expression Jun, who wants to destroy the typhoon someday, changed the items to the same surgical gloves as Typhoon Corporation, and the two companies eventually faced off in an open bidding competition for the lowest price.
The process of preparing the bidding documents was a series of tensions that did not allow a single mistake. Although the electronic shopping mall had difficulty getting the keyboard in the language to submit the technical specification of surgical gloves translated into French, the printer software did not recognize French, causing all fonts to be broken and printed out.
At the time when the deadline was just around the corner and they couldn't find a solution, Myunggwan once again took the mound at the typhoon's earnest request to help Typhoon. Equipped with a paltoshi, he quickly wrote the technical specifications with measured intervals and more accurate handwriting than a computer. After the days of writing documents by hand, he was also 'Gu-gwan is a masterpiece'. It was the moment when the night frame, which represents the time of trees that become shade in summer, cover with fallen leaves in autumn, and firewood in winter, showed its power.
An inflection point also came to the relationship between typhoon and Miseon on the way home after a stormy day. Earlier, Miseon clearly drew the line between public and private affairs, saying to the typhoon, who continues to take care of him affectionately. But the typhoon realized it couldn't. So "I love you, Oh Mi-sun, unrequited love. This is the first time I have had a crush on someone," he confessed heartily. Mi-sun's prudence to focus on her work and the typhoon's straightforwardness in front of her emotions intersect, and excited expectations arose as to whether the romance between the two could become 'Tomorrow's (two-way) Love' like the subtitle of the broadcast.
Meanwhile, the mystery surrounding Typhoon Sangsa and Daesangseon's IOU has also been unveiled. Cha Seon-taek (Kim Jae-hwa) was forced to receive money from Pyo Park-ho (Kim Sang-ho) because her husband's business was difficult, and she couldn't find a loan certificate, so in 1989, she tore up the page that Pyo Sang-seon borrowed money from the cashier's account book. Nevertheless, Pyo Park-ho was scared when he strangled his son, even mentioning his son, and he was desperate to find an IOU, even looking for a typhoon. Like the habit of choosing, typhoons also detected abnormal currents after discovering that the filing cabinet was inserted from the right to the date. The tension on the eve of the storm intensified as to what secrets were hidden in the IOU. The 12th episode of 'Taepung Corporation' will air on tvN at 9:10 p.m. on the 16th.
