A couple on the verge of divorce, a family wedding and a massive typhoon: it’s an unusual mix, and one that sounds like great comedy fuel.
Typhoon: The Premise
Typhoon (working title) is a disaster escape comedy about a couple who have decided to divorce but still travel to their hometown for a relative’s wedding. Then a huge typhoon hits, and they’re stuck together. Lee Jung Ho, director of The Beast and Broken, is writing and directing.
Typhoon: Cast and Characters
| Actor | Character |
|---|---|
| Koo Kyo Hwan | Jin Mo, an ordinary office worker stuck at assistant manager level for years |
| Han Ji Min | Jae Yi, his bold, resourceful wife who dreams of becoming a YouTuber |
| Oh Jung Se | Sang Hyuk, a 119 rescue worker and the couple’s friend |
| Han Sun Hwa | Rose, a stingy pension owner who dreams of romance |
| Kim Eung Soo | Hyun Deok, half of a couple married 48 years |

What Makes It Interesting?
Jin Mo is a small-city office worker who attended Seoul University and joined a major corporation, only to stall at the same rank. Jae Yi, once a rising talent at her publishing company, left her job to balance child-rearing and work, and relies on practical everyday know-how to find a way through the chaos. Their mismatched approaches should create plenty of comic tension.
Oh Jung Se’s character gets trapped alongside them while trying to rescue the stranded couple, which adds an extra layer of trouble.
A Familiar Reunion
Han Sun Hwa reunites with Koo Kyo Hwan and Oh Jung Se, her co-stars in the drama We Are All Trying Here. That kind of on-set chemistry often translates well into comedy.
Production Status and Release
The script reading took place in late September and filming has begun. The film is scheduled for release in 2027.
