Lee Joon-ho and Kim Min-ha, who were deeply immersed in the character, played a part in this success. With his unique delicate expression of emotions, Lee Joon-ho closely depicts the inner side of the youth Kang Tae-pung who does not know how to give up and moves forward. Even in front of the real wall, the character's texture, which does not lose human warmth and romance, naturally melts into his expression and eyes, completing the character even more attractively. The faces of the typhoon, which are sometimes recklessly hot and sometimes more delicate than anyone else, crossed gracefully through Lee Joon-ho's performance, and humor and humanity were added to it, completing the face of the boss man who shines even in the crisis.

Kim Min-ha embodied Oh Mi-sun in three dimensions, who is sincere and responsible. It was Kim Min-ha's unique delicate expression and dynamic acting that brought life to the character that could look monotonous. Wit and energy were alive in the midst of the honest and hard character, a sense of rhythm was felt in the comical moments, and a deep echo was felt in the moment when emotions were poured out of the whole face, leading the narrative delicately with one expression. As such, her acting added warmth to the drama by completing Oh Mi-sun, which anyone can sympathize with and love, beyond just realistic office workers.

Above all, the two actors constantly talked in the field and accumulated the details of the scene together. Beyond the emotions contained in the script, the character's sense of reality was doubled through improvised ad-libs and fine eye exchange in each other's breaths. In the process, real breaths were added to each scene of the typhoon and Miseon, and natural humor and emotional texture came to life. This vivid energy of the actors instilled the smell and warmth of life in the stories of 「Taepung Corporation」, completing the world of bosses who believe in each other and endure even in the crisis more convincingly.




The struggles of bosses who do not know how to give up also unfold cheerfully and emotionally at times, giving viewers a thrilling catharsis. Even in the harsh reality of the IMF, the hot survival period of those who endure to live together, not alone, leaves a impression like a small miracle every time. As the power of hope and solidarity, which cannot be extinguished even in the midst of the crisis, is deeply lingering among viewers, expectations are high on the next story of `Taepung Corporation', which will see what fate the incident of sales manager Goma-jin (Lee Chang-hoon), who was captured by Thai police, will make for Typhoon Corporation and how Typhoon and Miseon will break through the crisis.

'Taepung Corporation' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
