i dont think more time would've been the solution. they writers are clearly not interested in delving into anything deep. the show wants to keep everything as light-hearted and on the surface as possible. but they really didn't need to go too deep to show how betrayal makes it hard to trust.

that's a world class pivot, and you conveniently avoided addressing the very valid concerns i raised in my comment. i DO watch the show, and my criticisms stems from my personal perception of art, perceptions which I've never forced on anybody.

I'm still trying to understand how, when, and why he fell in love with her. the only explanation I have is the childhood connection

there's a lot of comments about people saying "oh it's just a romcom" and "why are you criticizing it for being what it is", "why were you expecting something special"

so because it's a romcom means we should be complacent with it's mediocrity? where did this mindset that romcoms are meant to be bland and repetitive stem from? lots of romcoms out there are unique and original. it doesn't even have to be original, but just try to take the story to a new, fresh place, even if the premise is based on a trope like this one is. but this show is NOT trying at all. being a romcom is no excuse for being bad. I'm not saying it's bad, but you're trying to act like romcoms have a right to be bad just cos they're romcoms. honestly, it's painting a bad picture of the genre.

I'd like to see more of the Pyo kid. So far, he's just been this annoying brat standing as a foil to the ML. But episode 7 showed that there may be more to him. It's clear that his hatred for Tae Poong stems from an inferiority complex that's fueled by his own father. Plus, he's desperate to please his dad and prove himself worthy. i wouldn't mind going deeper into his character and his relationship with his father.

i feel like after your ex boyfriend of five years cheated on you, there should be some sort of residual, I don't know if the word trauma is too heavy for this, but it should be hard for you to get into a relationship with someone else. Trust and security should not have come so easily to her. He told her about his feelings and all she could think about was money, instead of considering whether she's ready to give her heart to someone else soon. Sure, the ML is a great guy, but I pretty sure her ex was acting like a great guy too when they were together. that sort of experience stays with you and affects your future relationships. I know the show and characters are shallow, but the fact that she's just fine and ready to fall in love again is one of the most unrealistic things about this show.

in my opinion, the childhood connection was a big mistake. I'm still convinced that he only fell in love with her because of it. and how did she fall for him??? it's like she only likes him cos he said he likes her. can someone please recommend a romance that actually shows two people falling in love gradually.

Stories about characters striving to achieve their dreams are always special. When done right, such shows can be both eye-opening and deeply motivational. Typhoon Family is exactly that — a brilliant blend of likable, relatable characters, consistently realistic storytelling, and timeless themes of determination, perseverance, and hard work.

Set against the dreary backdrop of an economically unstable Korea, this drama is on a clear path to becoming one of the year’s best.

The main character is as good as it gets — smart, charming, youthful, kind, and undeniably handsome. I could go on and on about Kang Tae-poong, but what truly stands out is how perfectly Lee Junho embodies him. Tae-poong often finds himself in over his head, yet he’s never afraid to ask for help, never afraid to fail, and never afraid to try again. He’s resilient and optimistic, but even the strongest have a breaking point — and I’m eager to see his. Still, with his passion, sharp instincts, and strong support system, it’s hard to imagine him not succeeding.

Our female lead complements him beautifully. She’s intelligent, dutiful, and far more than just a romantic interest. She’s a fully developed character with her own struggles and obstacles to overcome. The supporting cast also contributes meaningfully, each serving the story effectively in their own capacities.

Typhoon Family is very much a character-driven drama rather than a plot-driven one. The characters shape their own destinies, and their choices naturally move the story forward. Themes of ambition, greed, trust, perseverance, and the balance of risk and reward are woven neatly into the narrative, delivering powerful life and business lessons along the way. I know I’ve personally learned a thing or two.

I was once asked why I watch K-dramas when I’m so particular about solid plot writing and complex characters. The answer is simple — every once in a while, a drama like Typhoon Family comes along. A show so well-crafted that it can rival even the best of Hollywood’s productions. And honestly, I wouldn’t want to miss it for the world.

I'm watching them both and you simply can't compare 😂. typhoon Family is miles ahead

amazing is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?😂. it doesnt really take that much range to be whiny and annoying.

exactlyyy. the whole murderous villain plot is so unnecessary

its rare to find a romcom with substance these days. i just watch cos it's kinda funny. i cant even get mad at the SFL cos her character is so tropey and I've seen it a billion times. she'll serve her purpose and get outta the way

i question it because I don't understand it and I'd like someone to explain the appeal. but I'm not expressly telling them NOT to like the second leads. I'm just asking why they do. how did I shit on them😂. i literally complimented their individual characters

am I the only one wondering who changed the SFL out of her clothes? she was clearly too drunk to do it herself, and the idea that the SML did it doesn't quite sit right with me

people are allowed to support a drama however they feel like. what's meaningless to you may be meaningful to someone else. just focus on sharing your own views rather than criticizing someone else's 🙃. arguing about seemingly petty things is fun, and they're not hurting anyone.

one credit I will give the the secondary couple is that their conversation about morality and privilege was quite important and deep. if the writers are smart, they'll work with that to give them both character development.

i think its about their visuals. they're obsessed with the SML's looks😂. he IS good looking
