Lee Junho’s New Drama Typhoon Company Promises a Fresh Take on Youth and Growth

Real Youth, Real Struggle

The upcoming tvN drama Typhoon Company (Korean title: 태풍상사) takes us back to 1997, a time when things were raw and full of youthful sincerity. The series promises more than just nostalgia. It shows the emotional ups and downs of people trying to find their footing.

From Rookie to Boss: Kang Tae-poong’s Journey

Lee Junho stars as Kang Tae-poong, a newbie who suddenly becomes a company president. He’s thrown into responsibility before he’s really ready. The show will follow his attempts to lead, manage expectations, and grow up fast, all while being watched by people who believe in him — and those who doubt him.

Cry, Laugh, Grow Together

What sets Typhoon Company apart is how it treats its characters. It’s not just a story about climbing the corporate ladder. It’s about the bonds formed between people who share the same struggle. Tae-poong doesn’t go through his journey alone. There are tears, laughs, setbacks — but also consolation. It’s those human moments that ground the plot.

Why It Might Be Worth Your Time

If you like stories about characters who are not perfect, who mess up, who have to learn on the job — this could be one to watch. And with Lee Junho leading, there’s reason to believe he’ll bring depth to the role. 1997 is more than just setting — it shapes the characters and their choices.

Typhoon Company doesn’t promise polished perfection. It promises honesty. Sometimes, that’s enough — or even better.
