Set during Korea's 1997 IMF financial crisis, this drama follows Kang Tae-poong, a carefree second-generation heir who suddenly inherits a company on the brink of collapse. To protect the small firm "Typhoon Trading" his father left behind and the employees who depend on it, he stumbles and grows into a real boss. A story warmed by the grit of ordinary people who weathered a broken era.
From the worn fluorescent glow of Euljiro's underground arcade to the emerald waters of Samcheok's Bunam Beach, these locations capture the very air of 1990s Korea. Walk those alleys yourself and the footsteps of people who survived the financial crisis come back to life beneath your feet.

Where the riverside scenes that carry the characters' emotions were filmed. The roadside lot beneath Dongjak Bridge, spanning the Han River, served as the backdrop for the drama's night cityscapes.
