Actors Koo Kyo-hwan and Han Ji-min are teaming up for the movie 'Typhoon' (working title).
'Typhoon' (working title) is a frustrating disaster escape comedy that unfolds when Jin-mo (Koo Kyo-hwan) and Jae-i (Han Ji-min), who have decided to part ways, encounter a super-sized typhoon while attending a relative's wedding in their hometown.
Koo Kyo-hwan plays Jin-mo, an ordinary office worker who rose from a small provincial background, graduated from Seoul National University, and entered a major corporation as a self-made success, but is currently stuck as a perpetual deputy manager. Through 'Typhoon' (working title), he is expected to showcase his unique human charm by transforming into a realistic husband and father.
Han Ji-min plays Jae-i, the wife of the exasperating husband Jin-mo. She was a recognized talent at a publishing house, but after concluding that she could not balance work and childcare following marriage, she made the bold decision to resign and dreams of transitioning into a YouTuber, portraying a sharp and daring character.
Following the Koo Kyo-hwan and Han Ji-min couple, Oh Jung-se takes on the role of Sang-hyuk, a friend of the couple. He appears as Jin-mo's hometown friend and a 119 rescue worker who bravely throws himself into the disaster zone to save the couple, only to end up isolated together. Oh Jung-se's lovable and free-spirited acting is set to be a key viewing point of the film.
Meanwhile, the role of pension owner Rose is played by Han Sun Hwa, who has been loved for her unique comedic acting through the film 'Pilot', the drama 'The Scandal', and 'Work Later, Drink Now'. She is a shrewd character who refuses to offer lodging discounts even when a typhoon hits, yet she is also a romanticist dreaming of a Titanic-like love.
Kim Eung-soo, still talked about for playing Kwak Chul-yong in the movie 'Tazza', and Oh Min-ae, who left a deep impression through the drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' and the movie 'Pilot', have joined as Hyeon-deok and Pil-ja, a 48-year companion couple touring the country in a camper van. The two bicker yet care for each other, adding warmth to the story.
The film is written and directed by Lee Jeong-ho, known for 'Beast' and 'Broken', and the table read held in late September raised expectations for the main feature with the actors' prepared performances and cheerfulness.
Having finalized its main cast and cranked in this October, 'Typhoon' (working title) is scheduled to be released next year.
