The Rookie CEO and the Relentless Accountant
Imagine being suddenly handed the reins of a failing company—in the middle of the 1997 Asian financial meltdown. That’s the starting point of tvN’s newest K-drama, ‘Taephoon Company’, premiering this October. Leading the cast are 2PM’s Junho as Kang Taephoon, a flower-loving free spirit-turned-unwilling CEO, and rising actress Kim Minha as Oh Mison, an elite accountant who doesn’t tolerate sloppiness.
A Poster That Packs a Punch
The drama just dropped its third duo poster, and fans are already sold on the electrifying chemistry between the two leads. Standing against the backdrop of an economic storm, Junho’s determined eyes and Kim Minha’s commanding poise hint at a partnership bound to captivate K-drama lovers.
“He’s a CEO who refuses to give up, even when the company has nothing left. She’s the numbers genius who makes sure nobody falls apart,” says the production team.
Kang Taephoon might not know the first thing about running a trading company, but he quickly learns that survival begins with trust. Luckily, he’s got Oh Mison by his side—armed with spreadsheets and an iron will. As they tackle wage gaps, bankruptcy threats, and workplace dramas, their journey becomes one of resilience and reinvention.
More Than Just Period Drama Nostalgia
While ‘Taephoon Company’ revisits a turbulent time in Korean history, it’s not just a period piece. It’s a modern reminder of ordinary people fighting to keep their lives—and livelihoods—afloat during extraordinary times. With a storyline grounded in warmth, grit, and a dash of dry humor, the show promises to strike a chord with anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed by the world but kept going anyway.
The production team teases that the evolving bond between Taephoon and Mison encapsulates the kind of tenacity and teamwork we could all use more of today. “They start as a true ‘crisis survival duo,’ but grow into something much more inspiring.”
When and Where to Watch
‘Taephoon Company’ airs its first episode on October 11 at 9:20 PM KST on tvN, following the current hit ‘The Tyrant’s Chef.’ With a clever premise, charismatic leads, and a story rooted in gritty optimism, this drama might just be your next weekend obsession.
