I’m always in wonder of what people are looking for, when reviewing shows and movies. Yes, some scripts are terrible, but great acting can still make it worthwhile. I did not find the Typhoon Family script to be bad, as I’ve read in some reviews. However, I wanted more of Sung Dong-il and Kim Hye-eun’s characters. I love them in everything! Stellar actors! Outstanding in Typhoon Family were various relationships and their inter-workings. I discovered Lee Jun-Ho (Tae-poong) in the show, “Rain & Shine”; knew nothing of his background-just thought the kid did a great job. “King the Land” made me research his other works, due to all the hoopla about the show. Interestingly, Jun-ho has mastered romancing, not only his ingenues, but the camera, which appears to love him. Kim Min-ha (Mi-seon) came to my attention in “Pachinko”. I was mesmerized by her work. She presented then, and now, as authentic, with soft strength and mature beauty. I enjoyed their on screen performances. The show provided opportunities for each character, in the role of employees at Typhoon Co., to showcase acting skills. Bak-ho and his son, Jin-sung, had a powerful interaction to their father/son relationship, in the end. It was great witnessing the revelations and growth in Nam-mo (Tae-poong’s best friend) and those connected to him. I loved the show and anxiously awaited each episode. Rewatchable for me. Hated when it ended.
