Typhoon Family

A thrilling and emotionally rich K-drama that keeps you invested till the very last episode

Typhoon Trading

Typhoon Trading delivers the classic K-drama intensity but in a fresh, finance-driven setting. The drama mixes high-stakes stock market tension with deep emotional storytelling, making every episode feel like a storm you can’t escape.

The lead character’s journey is written with true K-drama flavor — ambition, heartbreak, betrayal, and that one moment of unexpected softness that melts you instantly. Their chemistry with the supporting cast feels natural, especially during scenes where trust is tested in both business and relationships.

The drama shines the most during its dramatic turning points: market crashes, sudden plot twists, and emotional confrontations that feel straight out of iconic K-drama moments. The background music enhances every scene, from intense boardroom showdowns to quiet late-night reflections.

What makes Typhoon Trading special is how it balances action and emotion. Even if you don’t know trading, the storytelling keeps you hooked. And if you love K-dramas with sharp plots, flawed but lovable leads, and addictive cliffhangers, this one fits perfectly.

Overall: A thrilling and emotionally rich K-drama that keeps you invested till the very last episode.

maybe I'll get jumped for this but...

Okay so what can I say about Typhoon Family? for me, it's one of the best dramas of the year. It gave me everything I look for in a drama and nothing felt really forced. If I had to say something negative, it would be that changing the antagonist in the last episodes felt a bit off. Hyeonjun had been just an annoying, meddlesome guy, and suddenly he became the main enemy of the series only to mess everything up. I would have preferred that role to remain with his father and nothing else.

And it's true that the dynamics in the episodes were almost always the same and predictable; you knew that every time they tried to sell something they were going to run into problems but they would always solve them because that's just how it works. Still, it was fun and entertaining to watch

Also, I would have liked to see more interaction between Taepoong and his mother and how they deal with the situation as mother and son.

My biggest highlights are obviously the romance between Taepoong and Miseon, their chemistry is insane, it feels super natural, and it flows really well, even though the main plot isn't romance. Their moments were just right and really well done.

Another highlight is the character development in this series, especially Majin, who started out as a complete idiot who belittled Miseon just for being a woman and Taepoong as a CEO just because he was young, but all that changed over time, and he ends up being the one who loves and trusts them the most.

For me, this drama was just perfect although my opinion might change over time but for now, it's a 8/10

A REALISTIC STORY, GROWTH, AND GREAT CHEMISTRY

It starts off really well, and episodes 2 and 10 are my favorite. It keeps story simple and realistic, with characters that are easy to love. The overall chemistry of the cast is wholesome which makes the drama even more engaging.

Tae Poong is such a standout, he is cool, kind, and incredibly resilient. Mi Seon is just as likable, with her dedication, intelligence, and gentle personality. They make a perfect pair and I like how their relationship grows naturally without feeling forced or rushed.

The soundtrack also deserves credit. The music choices are consistently good, and there’s a fresh, catchy track in almost every episode. Some episodes do feel a bit repetitive, but not in a bad way, those moments actually help show the characters’ development. The drama touches dreams, trust, and greed. All of this is blended in so naturally that you end up getting not just a good story, but a few real-life lessons too.

Plot 8/10
Acting and Characters 9/10
Cinematography 8/10
Writing 8/10
Pacing 8/10
OST/Score 10/10

Overall 8.5/10

HOPE WARMTH SUNSHINE- LIFE REALITY CHALLENGES

i almost felt like a typhoon co. employee... their struggles were my own struggle, got so connected with the characters, especially the perseverance and sincerity of kang taepoong (uri junho ssi)

the slow burn romance was everything, the natural chemistry between lee junho and kim min ha 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

The IMF setting and the tsunami it brings in every episode was heartwrenching, BP inducing LITERALLY!! BUT at the same time the warmth of typhoon family and the golden retriever energy of kang tae poong... Balanced everything out!


and the ending was just... YOU GOTTA WATCH IT TO UNDERSTAND!! 🌺🌹🌸🌼🎍💐 😭 the most beautiful closure I've seen yet!!! 📸 gonna miss them all for sure!!!

THANK YOU TYPHOON FAMILY 🌀

Life is all about fruits and flowers ❤️

Not everyone may share the same perspective I do, which is why I choose to rate this drama an 9.5. It is not the kind of show designed to please a universal audience. Instead, it belongs to the slice-of-life genre—subtle, realistic, and emotionally grounded. It does not rely on sensational twists, exaggerated romance, or dramatic clichés. Rather, it captures life as it is: imperfect, uncertain, and yet beautifully hopeful.

One of the strongest elements of this drama lies in the portrayal of the male lead. Although his father is a CEO, the narrative does not present him as someone who has achieved everything effortlessly. Instead of glamorizing inherited privilege, the drama explores his internal struggles, failures, and emotional growth. It emphasizes that comfort and opportunity alone do not guarantee fulfillment or success—human development still demands resilience, self-reflection, and hard work.

Equally inspiring is the female lead. In many dramas, love becomes a distraction that overshadows personal ambition, but here, her character stands as a refreshing contrast. She holds tightly onto her dreams, refusing to abandon her aspirations for the sake of romance. Her journey reminds viewers that love does not always have to mean sacrifice; sometimes it coexists with independence, ambition, and self-respect.

At its core, this drama portrays a timeless truth: life may knock us down repeatedly, yet brighter days do arrive. Through its characters and storytelling, it presents a compelling message of perseverance—that even after numerous setbacks, success and happiness are possible.

Admittedly, some viewers might find the drama slow or uninteresting, especially those who are unfamiliar with themes like business, trade, or economic struggle. But as a business student, I connected deeply with every aspect of it. The narrative resonated with my academic interests, my beliefs about ambition, and my understanding of how progress works in real life—not instantly, but gradually, through trial and persistence.

In the end, this drama might not be entertaining for everyone, but for those who appreciate realism, emotional maturity, and character-driven storytelling, it is an unforgettable experience. For me, it was not just a drama—it was a reminder that growth is possible, love doesn’t require self-abandonment, and after every fall, life eventually opens the door to something better.

What happened in episode 16 and why did they rush it?

Typhoon Family It's the kind of drama where the protagonist at first suffers or may suffer, because of a family member. And then things fall apart, he loses money and his house because of the crisis in Korea At first, the first episodes were so cool, you liked watching them weekly, after the Thailand arc when he returned to Korea. It started to go downhill, that is, the story started to focus on the Other company, that is, the Pyo family company, and the order book, which didn't really make sense I'll skip this, (I mean, I don't even know what I want to write here , but it's okay) and go to episode number 14 or which was when Fisu hits the "Pyo" boss with that thing in the head without causing a hemorrhage because why not, I thought that Fisu would have such great potential that the story would go up... and I wasn't wrong, that is, in ep 15 he made me hate him and hit him with something in the head or spit them in the coffee The soundtrack was well put 10 out of 10 I have nothing to say about the romance..basically yes Thank you for reading my comment, maybe the comment was meaningless, and probably I took too much time

One of the best Underdog stories in K-Dramas

I seriously loved everything about this drama from beginning to end!!! It kinda reminded me a little bit of Itaewon Class with the revenge story, the dads being involved and the ML’s dad actually dying from the beginning, the unconventional beauty of the female lead, the group of people they’re working together with and building a found family with them… just sooo many similarities, there was absolutely NO WAY I wouldn’t love this drama! 😍😍😍

First of all, it starts off with Tae-poong leading this carefree life, always wearing the hottest clothes, dancing in Apgujeong Clubs like an idol (that he is in real life 😂), and getting into fights with his arch enemy Hyun-Jin 😂😂😂
His look in this first half of the drama was among the hottest looks I have seen in a K-Drama actor! I was seriously obsessed with his blond highlights, silver bracelets and leather jackets, it still lives rentfree in my head 😂😂😂

Then the next part of the drama, basically the majority happens after his father dies. That part I would divide it into 0 + 4 parts, based on the products they sell and with each product they earn another one of their former colleagues to join them again.

Part 0: Everyone is still together and they still have the fabrics that they had ordered before the father died I think. This was also before Tae-poong lost his home. Basically, this story arc shows how everything slowly crumbles: the work, and his home.

Part 1: Now it is only Kang Tae-Poong And Mi-seon and they decide to sell the work shoes they found in Busan and how they are getting involved with the Busan Gang members and save the life of the man who invented the shoes. This was one of my favorite parts of the drama. I still wonder if the shoes arrived at their destination and what happened to the guy 😂 They didn’t really show him at the end anymore. Also the video they made was phenomenal 😂😂😂super 90s coded!!!

Part 2: This part was my favorite part!!! the helmets that they sell in Thailand!!! 🇹🇭 😂😂
Go Majin joins them and lands in prison 😂😂😂 I was sooo annoyed with him in these episodes tho!!! He was being a misogynistic idiot and he treated Mi-Seon so rudely I was actually happy when he landed in prison 😂😂😂 And the measures they took to get him out with the pictures and all and then Mi-Seon DROPPPPPPING it all into the rivvverrr!!!! I was SOOOO MADDDD!!! I was screaming at her actually 😂😂😂
AND THEN OMG!!! Junho singing at that party!!!! omggg!!! And ofc their kisssss!!!! GYAAAAHHHH!!!! I was swooooooninnggggg sooooo hardddd!!!!! 😍😍😍 What a smooth talker!!! and the way he said “how lucky you are to have a guy like me crushing on you” omgggg i would have melted and then slapped him for saying that and then melted again 😂😂😂 we need more men like that in our lives!!! Thailand arc was just superior!!

Part 3: The glovessss!!!! In this part So many things happened. Mr Bae went to Indonesia, there were a lot of scenes at the government office, Tae-poong and Mi-Seon were in a church trying to get one of the former workers to come back. A lot was happening in this arc. The promissory note with Mrs. Cha spying on them was also happening here. And on top of that the fire broke out!!! It was CRAZY!!! a crazy arc!!! But I enjoyed every second of it.

Part 4: The last part was shorter compared to the others and it led to the finale. They got involved with Mr. Bae’s father and tried to sell security cameras. In this arc they also found the promissory note and before that Hyun-Jin started acting like a REAL asshole! The actor did such a good job at playing one of the worst villains in K-Dramaland. Also, it was funny how Hyun-Jin’s English was so much better than that foreigner Alex’ English 😂😂😂 I didn’t understand ANYTHING he said in English 😂😂😂

The end was a bit different than what I had imagined. I didn’t expect Tae-poong to save Mr. Pyo. And then for Mr. Pyo to go and lock up his own son!!! Wow! Crazy but I can understand since Hyun-Jin was a danger to so many people around him. Definitely an unexpected ending!

I loved seeing all the office workers together at the end walking down the road! it warmed my heart! A perfect ending to a great drama!!!

Other things I liked were:

1. Mi-ho and Nam-mo’s cute little relationship! 🥰 Mi-ho legit looked like a supermodel from the 90s!!! And their wedding at the end was so cuteee!!!

2. Tae-poong’s mom 🥹🥹🥹 Such a sweet woman!!!

3. Mi-Seon’s family 🥹🥹🥹 The grandma was soooo funnyyy!!! sometimes she was so senile, mixing people from the past up with people from the present 😂 but then sometimes she would say the wisest things hahahah 😂😂😂 Like when Mi-Ho was crying over Nam-mo and the halmoni was like “Why would you cry over a man?” or sth 😂😂😂 That was one of my favorite scenes!!! And Beom in his Taekwondo suit 😂😂😂He was the CUTESTTTTT!!! CHUBBIESTTTT!!! SWEEEEETEST KDRAMA BOY EVVVERRRRR 🥹🥹🥹I swear he looked like he could be Sunwoo’s little brotther from Reply 1988 😂😂😂 The way he always grinned melted my heart I wanted to cryyyy!!!! 😭😭😭

Things I didn’t like:
Nam-mo’s mom PISSED me off when she suddenly was against Mi-ho dating her son!!! I seriously didn’t get her point! Did she thing her son was a chaebol or a prince??? and she the Queen? Like she acted like they were soooo rich!!! In reality they had no money either!!! Mi-ho’s family lived in a bigger house than they probably did… I was so fed up with her 😖

All in all, I loved this drama and would recommend it to everyone!

From Seoul to Hollywood in Three Glances and a Flower

Final Review Typhoon Family: A Storm With No Wind”
Typhoon Family ends with a happy ending, but the drama never truly worked.
It suffered from narrative hamster syndrome: constant suffering, constant chaos, no real progression.
The writers confused accumulated misery with emotion, and movement with storytelling.
The performances are good —especially Kim Ni-ha— but the script wasted them, giving her nothing but crying scenes with no emotional range.
And yes, happy ending, villains in jail, romance finally consummated… but as bland as the rest of the show.
A happy ending can’t fix 16 episodes that never connected. 2025 is full of dramas where the actors are better than the script:
Moon River, Dear X, Would You Marry Me?, No Other Choice. Typhoon Family just joined the list.

Episode 1
The first encounter tries to be tender, but it’s the most overused cliché in K-drama: he falls on her. The only new thing is the melancholic wrapping — the “prestigious” version of the same old stumble.

But then comes the subway scene. The dual visual language.
She (Kim Min-ha) is filmed in tight shots, soft light, and desaturated tones. Her gaze dominates the frame; the focus stays on her eyes, not the background. It conveys introspection, timidity, and vulnerability.
He (Jun-ho), on the other hand, is treated oppositely: wide framing, glass reflections, warm tones, even the pink bouquet as a symbol of vanity and artifice. He knows he’s being watched.
Together, the montage creates a mirror play: she looks, he poses; she feels, he performs.

The separation sequence is built with classic Hollywood grammar. The slight lip bite marks the exact instant when inner emotion becomes conscious. Then, the shot of the falling flower works as a universal symbol of lost contact or missed opportunity — a motif used over and over in Western romantic cinema (from Brief Encounter to Before Sunrise). The camera leaves her alone, the frame widens, and the background fades: solitude in motion.

The falling flower perfectly closes the emotional arc of their encounter — a silent yet unmistakable symbol of attachment and memory.
She doesn’t say “I liked him,” she doesn’t say “I miss him,” but the simple act of keeping something so ephemeral says it all.

The warm light, the curtains, and the static framing turn that moment into a visual sigh, almost a poetic epilogue to what just happened. It’s a device straight out of European romantic cinema (think Amélie or In the Mood for Love), yet used here with Korean subtlety.

It feels Hollywood not because it imitates, but because it adopts the language of classic romantic cinema: the visual construction of destiny, the orchestral music that accompanies without interrupting, the flower as a tangible symbol of remembrance, and above all, the restrained emotion that becomes universal.
That fragment alone is enough to justify the entire episode.

Update episode 2
If episode one was saved by a cinematic moment —that subway scene, poetic and restrained—
episode two collapses into mediocrity.
Nothing stands out.
It’s empty, slow, emotionless, filled with shouting and recycled melodrama.

With two leads of this caliber, such a weak script is unforgivable.
The problem isn’t talent — it’s direction.
Episode two doesn’t stumble… it crashes.

Brilliantly Done Series

What a wonderful series this is. It is super underrated. Great work at script and execution. Not a minute or boredom. Great work at casting too. The lead couple have superb chemistry and the whole unit has amazing camaraderie! the music is so good!
Character developments are done so nicely and very realisticly. I have become a huge Lee Jun Ho fan, he has acted so well!
Full score for the cinematography, truly no one does nostalgia as good as Korea and they proved it again with this series. You are transported right back to the 90s, special attention has been give to the costumes, fashion, lighting, props, even the music - every elements just screams 90s and its so amazing

Heartwarming , funny but a bit lacking...

a strong start that became flat till the end
in the first 2 episodes we see tae pong the playboy who is all about partying and wearing fashionable expensive clothes, however he has his own project which he wants to show his father to make him proud , yet he never get the chance as his father dies .

so here what went wrong for me
*The protagonist hyun jun and his father Mr pyo were way too weak for me hyun jun was just the spoiled brat who wanted his father's recognition, maybe Mr pyo was a stronger protagonist but didn't get enough screen time for some reason .

*The whole series we kept going in circles , It was a loop of tae poong making a deal and hyun jun sabotaging it then tae poong begging or making a deal with hyun jun father it kept repeating again and again till it became annoying .

the plot was rushed at many points in the series , even the romance wasn't focused on , it didn't focus on anything actually.
