TOP TV Shows on Netflix on December 28, 2025 Top 10 in 75 countries 4-#Cashero 510points🔺 (1,2,3 are English shows) 🎉THE SCORE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BY 333 POINTS + 177 POINTS, TOTALING 510 POINTS.👏🏻👏🏻 https://x.com/i/status/2005302418763034792
It is mindless fun kinda plot like Spy x Family ( the story itself has values, but don't try to find logic too much in 50 minutes/8 episode drama) like why Twilight doesn't know who Yor is though he is a skilled spy in SpyxFamily. This is why I love it. Sang Ung -Eunmi- Lawyer Byeon relationship are Spy Family coded. Sometimes, chaotic. They are not the coolest superheros on earth ,but chaotic ones who are learning. And my favorite character is Sang Ung's girlfriend Min Suk who seemingly against his superpower in earlier episodes, but she is the most supportive one for Sang Ung in later episodes. The long term relationship with love & trust,intimacy,what's not to love.
For ppl who are saying fl is horrible, all of you should watch it till the end. It is pretty normal & relatable…
Coming from Walkiki director, the drama has laugh out moments in earlier episodes when Sang Ung is struggling with his hero identity. In this drama, saving the world is a mission,but not serious as those hollywood blockbuster dramas. Especially in earlier episodes. the risk on the line has been Sang Ung's marriage to his GF,Min Suk while saving world by using money out of his own pockets ,and Sang Ung's return to his ordinary life.
The last 2 episodes , I 👏 Junho & Hyejoon for perfectly portraying every moments of happiness & tragedy of Sang Ung & Min Seok.
For ppl who are saying fl is horrible, all of you should watch it till the end. It is pretty normal & relatable for 'a soon to be wife' panick about money though the boyfriend wants to use money for public good. No wife (outside the drama) is going to allow husband lend money easily to a friend in trouble,when they are struggling. So Min Suk POV is not exggerated,but relatable. Also, her opinion changes later regarding Sang Ung power. Min Seok and Sang ung are perfect for each other. Cashero isn't a romance centric drama,yet Junho & Hyejun have chemistry as a couple,dating for years. They are not giggling & shooting swoony eyes like a first time couple in Rom Com,but having a perfect chemistry who trust each other with 'Life & Death' . And their short intimate chemistry in episode 3 (50000 won experience) is quite 🥵 and swoony.
When I heard Walkiki director helmed the project, my expectation is Humor in Superhero land. Super cool superhero action drama with extensive hollywood CGI is going to be the wrong expectation. The stake here is Sang ung marriage to his girlfriend at the end, not the world peace or nuclear war between the countries.
If the villain organization is eager to catch those with superpower and planning to burn them alive, it is fair for San ung to use the money. A wedding can't happen without a groom, right? He has to protect himself. It will be so crazy if Min Suk is a hidden chaebol heiress. 🫨 .Who the heck asks him to marry her daughter?
It is the review I found on Reddit and I agree with both positives & negatives of the drama. In my previous comment, I said the drama would be difficult to rate. I really thought so. Because as messy as the business execution is, all the character sets up are decent,even the supporting characters.
Some love this kind of detailed writing on characters ,so they think this drama deserves a better rating than current rating. Let's be real. Look at the profile and saying this,some are TF viewers, not LJH fans.
I love plot driven shows. Even as a JH fan, I can't give this a perfect score. But those who love character driven shows, seem to like this a lot. They are calling Trolls to those who give a mediocre score as much as 1 or 2. As much as the execution is messy, this drama doesn't deserve as low as these for acting,direction,music or cinematography. This is what TF fans are saying,especially 'similar dramas with messy execution' get higher scores than TF. Some who watch it for Junho are more disappointed.
I am the same LJH fan here, I feel the same disappointment as you. Because in earlier episodes, and in episodes 15, Junho gave a great performance. His performance in TF is better than in KTL. If TF was written as well as TRS, it would be Junho's chance to return to Baeksang stage. Now, the chance is slim. As his fans, I want to enjoy his great performance in a perfectly written show,too.
Pfft,well the blog that was subbing the behind the scenes in English just became locked and protected, probably…
If it is jlml , she is Junho's fan. She subs for free You can request the password at jlml718 Instagram or twitter with a word of 'Thanks' for her works in private DM.
Jlml is a long time fan of Junho. She has a lot of subbed videos on her website. TF content is tvN owned contents. She probably doesn't want to complicate things, especially a copyright content being found on her website and shutting her site down.
She has been doing this for all Junho's dramas. Contents subbed during air time. But once the drama has finished ,she protects the contents with a password.

I am commenting on my own and you are the one being annoying and saying 'Idol promotion' under my comment by saying you have right to say whatever you want. And you are acting like a VICTIM. You are the one who PROVOKED me first . Why are u angry? If you can say whatever you want, can't I say whatever I want?
You are saying whatever you want without limits or boundaries unlike a normal viewer would. You are not just giving 'Reviews' like a normal viewer would. Do you see me attacking normal viewers who gave bad reviews to this drama? Find me under their reviews! I even gave sensible review myself by giving 8/10. Not a perfect score to this drama.
The first comment thread you had attacked LJH directly, not just giving 'Constructive Criticism' to his work-he needs rest, etc as if he is an unethical actor,not knowing when to rest & doing half baked jobs.
Everything you commented were attacks after attacks rather than constructive criticism everybody agrees with.
You are not fan? But you did bring unnecessary comparisons with another actor here though dramas are totally different genre. And so I have suspicion because of coincidental Hate by that particular FD a few times. (I provided evidence).
If you want to give OPINIONs, at least be respectful to the person rather than a blabbermouth. You don't even know the person well & talk with whatever comes out of your mouth.
I never watch BAYM because I have my own reason regarding that historical figure. But I never write this on BAYM page or social media. Because first, it may annoy people who love that drama. I don't want to start a fanwar in their territory. It is just unnecessary comment that should be kept to myself.
But under my comment, you are that kind of ANNOYING being who is against my nature.
It is not I am in a cult. It is because you are that ANNOYING & insensible being to leave a comment in my post that has Nothing to Do With YOU. Do you have problems to read the room?
The Red Sleeve is critically acclaimed & it is widely popular. The same for Lee Junho accolades. You don't like it, don't like it .It is not as if your opinion is going to change critical reception of that drama. But at least be 'Thoughtful' not to give comment under an obviously a 'FAN'S COMMENT' of that drama. You insensible blabbermouth.
Poking someone with they don't like and accusing them of something if they fight back. You really are self centred. Later if someone heavily criticizes whoever/whatever you love so much without a decent boundary or filter, just bear with it because according to your words, if you don't ,you are a cult member or slave. These are your words , engrave in your mind.
Your drunken opinion on someone you don't know is ok. Commenting on others post with the word 'Repulsive' is ok. When someone told you to back down isn't ok. Ok, you are not hater &someone's fan. If you said so. If you can read, read them. All are Drama related Naver Articles. Talking about drama and leading actor achievements . What's wrong with that? In case you forget, it is titular male protagonist drama. You can write Long ass Paragraphs but others write, it is repulsive?
For your information,I have never seen 'Discovery of Love' or Eric in that drama. I had been a regular visitor of Dramabeans that time and always read their reviews. Because the reviews on 'Discovery of Love' weren't that good, I ended up skipping the drama. It was QSS union drama but heard that it wasn't good & skipped it.
Art is an opinion, People can agree or disagree with. Not everything you love is a superior taste or the same for mine. Industry insiders who study Arts and majority of viewers are satisfied with performance or projects, it is positive critical reception. But you are on a specific drama actor's page, shitting on everything he acts or sings, regardless pf public opinion or reception & when you don't even understand art tech, am I wrong to suspect you of that cult hate? The opinion you formed didn't agreed by majority of viewers on this page - your comments I linked above, are like troll comments.
I disliked Red Sleeve - started watching it and stopped. It was filmed and scripted and acted in a way that I…
Not a fangirl, but talking about HIM on a unrelated drama page while downgrading a senior actor who is already an award winning actor who has lots of positive feedback in his current drama when the dramas are not the same genre & roles are 'black & white'. >> https://kisskh.at/777994-typhoon-boss#comment-24249196
And hostile behaviour towards a comment about the success of drama & leading actor that has nothing to do with YOU. Idol advertising -what. It is reposting of drama related Naver articles on drama page are 🤨Idol advertising.
Only a few problematic ones in a FD ,but these few are very rude to LJH in any possible way already.
You seemed like TF drama fan at a glance, but your comments are all about negativity on Lee Junho's acting & singing . Sure -Your Sharp ear & not hating on him. Don't know who is singing the song either >>https://kisskh.at/777994-typhoon-boss#comment-24336358 . As if we don't know that fandom's negativity & hate.
You come here to promote your actor & downgrading Lee Junho & playing dumb. This is Lee Junho's drama page .. Typhoon Family. Whether we promote him or not , are none of your concern. You dare come here on Typhoon Family page promoting your actor & downgrading on Lee Junho in your precious comment thread.
Almost every viewers & industry insiders alike are giving praises to Junho's performance in 'Typhoon Family' & you are here to to talk shit about his performance in this drama & previous dramas alike. Live on BAYM fanpage and dwell there.
I disliked Red Sleeve - started watching it and stopped. It was filmed and scripted and acted in a way that I…
Focus on your man, please. BAYM fangirl or fanman or whatever
The Red Sleeve was based on a real life historical figures, King Jeongjo the Great, a real life monarch South Korea admired up to this day. The events in the drama, CP Sado tragedy & Lady Uibin Seong passing, were actual tragedies of Joseon dynasty ,not melodramatic or soapy just for the sake of plot. Only ignorant people will say that.
And Junho's acting in 'The Red Sleeve' is recognized by critics and public alike. He got critical acclaim by winning Producer award as well as Baeksang Best Actor award and popularity by viewership rating & Baeksang popularity award. You didn't live in those days. You are just ignorant .
And what promotion? We are bringing Naver articles here for public.
Go to your fanpage BAYM & live there rather than lingering here & ruining the mood here.

[251203] LeeJunho and KimMinha’s final thoughts on #TyhoonFamily 🌀🌸 Meeting Lee Junho 2 days earlier at a café in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, he said:
🌀I’m grateful for all the love the series has received. We spent over a year filming it with so much affection, so the lingering emotions are strong. Life is always hard. I wanted to show what kind of mindset people had as they endured the IMF crisis. I hoped the drama would serve as a bridge between those who lived through that time and the younger generation who didn’t.
To recreate the 1990s, attention was paid to styling such as clothing and hair:
🌀I looked up a lot of styles that were trending back then, especially Lee Jaehoon of the duo COOL and actor Kim Minjong’s styles in dramas.
Born in 1990, he didn’t experience the IMF crisis directly, but recalled:
🌀I remember my parents both working and struggling to make ends meet when I was young. Because my parents were so busy, we didn’t spend a lot of time together, so every moment felt more precious. My mother and I used to exchange messages on Post-it notes. These days, it feels harder to sense that kind of warmth and affection. ‘Typhoon Family’ brought back that nostalgic feeling and reminded me of the importance of family.
In the drama, Taepoong’s strongest pillar of support is Miseon, who grows from colleague to lover. Junho said:
🌀It was amazing how well Kim Minha and I matched. We filmed the romance scenes in the later part, and because we were already close by then, nothing felt awkward.
Playing the never-giving-up Taepoong, he wanted to convey the message that:
🌀If you have someone who will face hardships with you, you can get back up again no matter how many times you fall.
His schedule remains packed. On the 26th, he will release the Netflix series ‘Cashero,’ and he is also considering appearing in director Ryoo Seungwan’s ‘Veteran 3.’
🌀I know how grateful I should be to have projects lined up right away. The joy of creating a new character is what keeps me doing this work. One day, I want to be known as an actor you can trust to watch, and a singer you can trust to listen to.
Meeting Kim Minha recently at a café in Yongsan-gu, she shared:
🌸Miseon is the quintessential eldest daughter who even gives up her dream of going to university for her family. The way she quietly takes on whatever life gives her felt so admirable and strong. I’m similar to her in that I run toward my goals like a racehorse, but in terms of sincerity, Miseon is one step ahead of me. Miseon is a character I deeply cherish.
Although she has appeared in multiple OTT series, this is her first time as the lead in a traditional TV drama.
🌸It was fascinating to see real-time viewer reactions. The ratings came out the next day like a report card, and my heart would pound. I realised that waiting every week for the next episode is the true charm of TV dramas. I learned so much.
Debuting in 2016, Kim Minha rose to prominence with the 2022 ‘Pachinko.’ Her natural face gave the character a sense of realism.
🌸 I try to portray characters as realistically as possible. That’s probably why I received good feedback for roles like Pachinko or Typhoon Family, where ordinary people overcome crises. There are so many genres I want to try, from historical dramas to to fantasy. I wish I had two bodies.
Today post drama interviews are coming out on Naver🟡https://www.chosun.com/english/kpop-culture-en/2025/12/03/VYZZBVKZBZEPVMBFALLQ7TIHXI/🟡https://m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/396/0000728770🟡https://m.blog.naver.com/jazzkid/224096399112On…
LeeJunho’s final thoughts on #TyhoonFamily his life, pressures, marriage and group activities:
Meeting Junho at a café on the 2nd, he attributed the secret of this streak to “pure luck.”
🌀I just want to say thank you, sincerely. When I saw the final episode surpass 10%, it felt like the show went ‘Will it? Won’t it?’ and finally pushed through the hurdle, just like the drama Typhoon Family itself.
With each hit, expectations for him grow and at times, this could become pressure.
🌀No one is free from pressure. All results remain as records, so honestly, it’s always a burden. I try to relieve that pressure by putting everything into becoming the character truthfully each moment, without lying, and doing my absolute best.
In particular, the scenes where he danced and sang in the drama were “a sign that I bet everything on this project.” To present the 1997 IMF-era dance style, he consulted choreographer Jay Black, and for the OST “Did You See The Rainbow?”, he deliberately used a voice completely unlike Kang Taepoong’s.
🌀I was a bit worried about the label of being an idol-turned-actor, but in the end I thought, ‘If I do it well, isn’t that what matters?’ I was proud that the OST I sang became one of Taepoong’s theme songs. I listen to it every day.
As both an actor and singer, Junho has many things he wants to pursue.
🌀As an actor, I’m craving roles I haven’t tried yet. In my next project, I’ll be taking on a villain, a truly evil character, down to the bone.
Regarding 2PM activities, he said:
🌀If good music comes along, I’m always willing to promote as a full group. But I’m stubborn about wanting us to come back looking really cool.
Perhaps for this reason, he says he isn’t thinking about marriage yet. When asked whether seeing fellow members, Chansung, who is already a father, and Taecyeon, who is getting married this spring, makes him want a family of his own, Junho replied:
🌀Not yet. Seeing the members so happy is really nice, and I do think that someday that time will come naturally for me too, but not now.
Lee Junho’s ultimate goal is to become a “trust-and-watch actor.”
🌀In the past, I wanted to be the kind of actor who made people think, ‘Oh, Lee Junho is in this, maybe I should check it out?’ Now I want to take it a step further: I want that curiosity to become confidence. If Lee Junho is in it, it’s worth watching, it’ll be good. Becoming an actor who gives that confidence is my ultimate goal. 🟡https://x.com/itsmilzYY/status/1995989995518374002?t=ATtuW7VF8ZKl8RukFUhCnQ&s=19
251203] LeeJunho’s final thoughts #TyhoonFamily, his life, pressures and his one man agency 🌀🌸
🌀I didn’t personally experience the IMF era, so I couldn’t fully understand what my parents went through back then. But I thought this project could become a bridge connecting those who lived through the IMF and those who know nothing about that time.
🌀My parents both worked when I was young, so I spent a lot of time alone. Back then, neighbors upstairs or downstairs would look after the kids, and I’d play well with the neighborhood friends. That ability to share warmth and care without calculation, I think that was the ‘romance’ of that era. I hoped viewers could feel the love and nostalgia of those times too.
When asked whether he felt pressured taking on a title role (a protagonist whose name appears in the title), Junho replied:
🌀I didn’t feel pressured that I needed to carry the entire show. I felt more strongly that the character I was playing had to be clearly and convincingly delivered to the viewers.
🌀Taepoong gets explosively angry when he’s mad, and smiles brighter than anyone when he’s happy, he’s a very honest character. His emotions needed to be portrayed without holding anything back, so that both the employees of Typhoon Trading and the audience could open their hearts to him and learn to trust him.
Now the real-life head of his own one-man agency, Junho laughed and said,
🌀Honestly, running a company isn’t as easy as Taepoong makes it look. I completely understand the idea that ‘people matter most,’ but Taepoong prioritizes people to such an extreme that sometimes I’d get frustrated, thinking, ‘Why would he make that decision?’ I approached it as something Taepoong inherited from his father, this belief that people come first.
This project was especially meaningful to him, and Junho actively contributed ideas and ad-libs on set.
🌀The scenes where he pierces the bar or a frying pan with his safety shoes, or where he writes a wish on the shoe sole, those were ideas I suggested to the director and writer, and thankfully they were all accepted. As I became close with the cast, our conversations flowed so comfortably that ad-libs naturally came out.
He also revealed a BTS detail from a scene later in the series, where Taepoong, now a dependable CEO, drinks soju at his late father’s favorite restaurant:
🌀That scene wasn’t originally written as a crying scene. But after thinking deeply about what his father must’ve felt in ep1, and putting myself in Taepoong’s shoes in that moment, the emotions just came naturally.
‘Typhoon Family,’ a 16ep series, longer than many recent dramas, sometimes faced viewer criticism for its repetitive villain storyline involving the antagonist Pyo Hyunjun and his father.
Junho acknowledged this, saying:
🌀It’s true that the plot repeated the villain obstructing the protagonist’s path. But I trusted the director, writer, and production team, who believed it was meaningful to have not only the era’s problems (the IMF crisis) but also a character who could channel the audience’s collective frustration.
With the drama achieving its highest rating of 10.3% nationwide, Junho now has the distinction that every drama he has appeared in since his military discharge has reached double-digit ratings:
🌀I received so many compliments for this project, but the one I remember most was: ‘There was no actor Lee Junho, there was only the real Kang Taepoong.’ This project really lightened my heart, and allowed me to fully absorb the emotions of the character as I acted.
Looking ahead, he said his goal is to become a “trust-and-watch” actor:
On Typhoon Family 🌀🌸and character Kang Taepoong "In a café in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on December 2, Lee Junho shared his thoughts on the ratings: “I was happy. As a human being, of course I hoped it would surpass 10%. There were moments when it almost crossed that line, so seeing the final episode go over 10% felt great. Of course, no project is something every actor, director, and writer will be 100% satisfied with, so there were some regrets. But I think the final episode wrapped up the story well, and that made me happy.”
Junho went through a lot physically for the role — including getting completely covered in flour.
“I think I really struggled a lot. As the protagonist, Taepoong inevitably had to go through hardships. And because the drama was set during the IMF era, it wouldn’t have made sense without showing those struggles. I felt the filming process itself was quite spectacular. The director even said he had never worked on a project with so many on-location shoots. We traveled everywhere — filming from the freezing winter to the scorching heat, everyone worked hard together.”
He recalled:
“There were tough moments every episode, but I remember a scene we shot in Busan around late April, early in filming. It was still really cold then. The flour scene was difficult, but also, everyone got seasick. We actually went out into the ocean on a boat to film. To capture everything from every angle and keep it lively, some staff had to take motion sickness medicine. Once we were out there, filming took a long time, so we stayed on the water for hours.”
Actor Lee Junho expressed gratitude, while also showing caution toward his own growth. Junho has achieved 3 consecutive dramas with double-digit ratings. Regarding this, he said:
🌀I always want to do well. Of course, every project has a different standard of what ‘doing well’ means. For this drama, I hoped the spirit and mindset of Typhoon Family, what we wanted to convey, would be delivered well to viewers. I hope I’m lucky enough to keep this streak going next time too. 🟡https://x.com/itsmilzYY/status/1995989494248735144?t=RqWaXl62grliiLGgpgnVsA&s=19
I totally agree with you! Lee Junho’s acting is on another level—he delivered the masterclass performance…
The thing about Junho is fans & casual viewers are expecting too much from him .After 2021 TRS, industry insiders were hyping he got into 'A' list stardom etc so everyone is thinking everything he does, has to be 'instant hit'.
Forgetting Lee Junho is only an actor, he can heavy lift only a certain portion of the drama and the drama production is more than an actor. Typhoon Family is not a popular genre and the rest of the casts are relatively NEW to prime time regular episode drama & Netflix ,and getting 10% rating & global ranking is an achievement.
Some projects with TWO BIG stars failed to get 10% this year. And 'these fans claiming that TF isn't getting any achievement' is biggest joke of the year.
For those who are wondering about the achievements & popularity of the Typhoon Family . It is above average getting 10% viewership & weekly Gooddata buzz. But it is not the 'It' drama of the year everyone is raving about. The drama finale surpassed 10% viewership ratings during airing. This year doesn't have a lot of K dramas that surpass 10% . You can count with fingers. Only a handful of them. TF is one of the dramas to have over 10% viewership.
But like someone mentioned before, the channel expected it to break 15% or 20% ,the result is a little underwhelming compared to earlier expectations. It is like 'An athlete' expecting to get a Gold medal in the Olympics is getting a Silver in their hands , though the result is great. The same for OTT viewership, it did get Netflix Korea.No.1 ranking for several days and Netflix Global ranking in earlier episodes though it is a slice of life genre. It fell out of Ranking in later episodes.
For leading actor 'Lee Junho', it is his 3rd drama that surpasses 10% viewership after the military. The local media praises his acting, especially in the later half because his acting is the saving grace of an underdeveloped script. He got his first nomination as 'Best Actor' at APAN which is going to be held in Dec last week. We have to 'Wait & See' for Baeksang. He is currently hyped as 'Box Office King' in South Korea for having 3 consecutive 10% rating dramas.
(Below is a personal opinion) Since the first two dramas were doing too well , the 3rd one 'Typhoon Family' achievement is a little underwhelming.
The first one 'The Red Sleeve' was 'It' drama of South Korea in 2021/ 2022 . It got a 17.3 viewership rating for the finale. 'Yi San' syndrome was phenomenal in SK & the whole production (director & the whole cast) got accolades everywhere including Baeksang. Junho notably got 'Producer Award & Baeksang Best Actor' for his role in TRS.
Though the second one 'King The Land' didn't get critical acclaim as much as 'The Red Sleeve', it was a global success. Because it aired on Netflix and it is a Rom Com, it pushed Lee Junho to the Global stage & made him a Global star. It got over 13% viewership for the finale & got 3 times Netflix Global No.1 ranking.
So 'Typhoon Family' itself is a moderate success, its achievement is lesser than the previous 2 dramas. But for Lee Junho, he gave his all for his dramas. He loves his drama characters equally & he was talking about missing 'Kang Taepoong' in his bubble a few days ago. ----------------------- Lee Junho is going to host 2025 Asia Artist Artist award on Dec 6th. Cashero is going to be released on Dec. 26th. Lee Junho Typhoon Family fanmeeting tour in Dec 2025 & early 2026. He is writing songs at the moment. An album is soon to be released in near future. I think.
He is going to join a blockbuster movie sequel 'Veteran 3' production in mid 2026 and the movie is going to be released on screen in 2027.
It is not low budget dramaCashero 30 billion won invested by Netflixhttps://m.blog.naver.com/a18382/223923963706Lee…
I think it is likely to be 'The Uncanny Counter' type than 'Moving' superhero verse. So, it is Asian type. The impression of 1st teaser. I learn not to have super high expectation on everything & just enjoy the drama.
How many super hit Global K dramas per year lately outside of popular Rom Com Genre ? How many Kdramas > viewership rating 10% in one year ?
Calling everything 'Flops' for not getting these achievements? They are numbers. Though we want the Best for our casts & crews , let's not overly obsessed over it when the drama hasn't even aired yet.
This comment >>more 'Talking to & Reminding Myself ' than talking to you. I am TRS era Lee Junho fan , so my expectation is extra high on Junho's projects. I need to lower my expectations,especially with K projects & scripts lately. (this one I am talking about overall Hallyu entertainment).

This is why I love it. Sang Ung -Eunmi- Lawyer Byeon relationship are Spy Family coded. Sometimes, chaotic. They are not the coolest superheros on earth ,but chaotic ones who are learning. And my favorite character is Sang Ung's girlfriend Min Suk who seemingly against his superpower in earlier episodes, but she is the most supportive one for Sang Ung in later episodes. The long term relationship with love & trust,intimacy,what's not to love.
In this drama, saving the world is a mission,but not serious as those hollywood blockbuster dramas. Especially in earlier episodes. the risk on the line has been Sang Ung's marriage to his GF,Min Suk while saving world by using money out of his own pockets ,and Sang Ung's return to his ordinary life.
The last 2 episodes , I 👏 Junho & Hyejoon for perfectly portraying every moments of happiness & tragedy of Sang Ung & Min Seok.
So Min Suk POV is not exggerated,but relatable. Also, her opinion changes later regarding Sang Ung power. Min Seok and Sang ung are perfect for each other. Cashero isn't a romance centric drama,yet Junho & Hyejun have chemistry as a couple,dating for years. They are not giggling & shooting swoony eyes like a first time couple in Rom Com,but having a perfect chemistry who trust each other with 'Life & Death' . And their short intimate chemistry in episode 3 (50000 won experience) is quite 🥵 and swoony.
But the drama doing well in South Korea is a fact.
Typhoon family tops December brand reputation index.
https://x.com/SouthKorea0730/status/1998169691999903861?t=duiETPiIwUsKELB9yZLyLw&s=19
(It also tops November brand reputation index)
It is the review I found on Reddit and I agree with both positives & negatives of the drama. In my previous comment, I said the drama would be difficult to rate. I really thought so. Because as messy as the business execution is, all the character sets up are decent,even the supporting characters.
Some love this kind of detailed writing on characters ,so they think this drama deserves a better rating than current rating. Let's be real. Look at the profile and saying this,some are TF viewers, not LJH fans.
I love plot driven shows. Even as a JH fan, I can't give this a perfect score.
But those who love character driven shows, seem to like this a lot. They are calling Trolls to those who give a mediocre score as much as 1 or 2. As much as the execution is messy, this drama doesn't deserve as low as these for acting,direction,music or cinematography. This is what TF fans are saying,especially 'similar dramas with messy execution' get higher scores than TF.
Some who watch it for Junho are more disappointed.
I am the same LJH fan here, I feel the same disappointment as you. Because in earlier episodes, and in episodes 15, Junho gave a great performance. His performance in TF is better than in KTL. If TF was written as well as TRS, it would be Junho's chance to return to Baeksang stage. Now, the chance is slim. As his fans, I want to enjoy his great performance in a perfectly written show,too.
You can request the password at jlml718 Instagram or twitter with a word of 'Thanks' for her works in private DM.
Jlml is a long time fan of Junho. She has a lot of subbed videos on her website.
TF content is tvN owned contents. She probably doesn't want to complicate things, especially a copyright content being found on her website and shutting her site down.
She has been doing this for all Junho's dramas.
Contents subbed during air time. But once the drama has finished ,she protects the contents with a password.
And you are acting like a VICTIM. You are the one who PROVOKED me first . Why are u angry? If you can say whatever you want, can't I say whatever I want?
You are saying whatever you want without limits or boundaries unlike a normal viewer would.
You are not just giving 'Reviews' like a normal viewer would. Do you see me attacking normal viewers who gave bad reviews to this drama? Find me under their reviews!
I even gave sensible review myself by giving 8/10. Not a perfect score to this drama.
The first comment thread you had attacked LJH directly, not just giving 'Constructive Criticism' to his work-he needs rest, etc as if he is an unethical actor,not knowing when to rest & doing half baked jobs.
Everything you commented were attacks after attacks rather than constructive criticism everybody agrees with.
You are not fan? But you did bring unnecessary comparisons with another actor here though dramas are totally different genre. And so I have suspicion because of coincidental Hate by that particular FD a few times.
(I provided evidence).
If you want to give OPINIONs, at least be respectful to the person rather than a blabbermouth. You don't even know the person well & talk with whatever comes out of your mouth.
I never watch BAYM because I have my own reason regarding that historical figure.
But I never write this on BAYM page or social media. Because first, it may annoy people who love that drama. I don't want to start a fanwar in their territory. It is just unnecessary comment that should be kept to myself.
But under my comment, you are that kind of ANNOYING being who is against my nature.
It is not I am in a cult. It is because you are that ANNOYING & insensible being to leave a comment in my post that has Nothing to Do With YOU. Do you have problems to read the room?
The Red Sleeve is critically acclaimed & it is widely popular. The same for Lee Junho accolades.
You don't like it, don't like it .It is not as if your opinion is going to change critical reception of that drama.
But at least be 'Thoughtful' not to give comment under an obviously a 'FAN'S COMMENT' of that drama.
You insensible blabbermouth.
Poking someone with they don't like and accusing them of something if they fight back. You really are self centred. Later if someone heavily criticizes whoever/whatever you love so much without a decent boundary or filter, just bear with it because according to your words, if you don't ,you are a cult member or slave. These are your words , engrave in your mind.
Your drunken opinion on someone you don't know is ok. Commenting on others post with the word 'Repulsive' is ok. When someone told you to back down isn't ok. Ok, you are not hater &someone's fan. If you said so.
If you can read, read them. All are Drama related Naver Articles. Talking about drama and leading actor achievements . What's wrong with that?
In case you forget, it is titular male protagonist drama.
You can write Long ass Paragraphs but others write, it is repulsive?
For your information,I have never seen 'Discovery of Love' or Eric in that drama. I had been a regular visitor of Dramabeans that time and always read their reviews. Because the reviews on 'Discovery of Love' weren't that good, I ended up skipping the drama. It was QSS union drama but heard that it wasn't good & skipped it.
Art is an opinion, People can agree or disagree with. Not everything you love is a superior taste or the same for mine. Industry insiders who study Arts and majority of viewers are satisfied with performance or projects, it is positive critical reception.
But you are on a specific drama actor's page, shitting on everything he acts or sings, regardless pf public opinion or reception & when you don't even understand art tech, am I wrong to suspect you of that cult hate?
The opinion you formed didn't agreed by majority of viewers on this page - your comments I linked above, are like troll comments.
>> https://kisskh.at/777994-typhoon-boss#comment-24249196
And hostile behaviour towards a comment about the success of drama & leading actor that has nothing to do with YOU.
Idol advertising -what.
It is reposting of drama related Naver articles on drama page are 🤨Idol advertising.
Only a few problematic ones in a FD ,but these few are very rude to LJH in any possible way already.
Your fandom has been hating on LJH before TF air. One vietnamese fanpage boycotting openly on TF.
>> https://x.com/VietAnh82576/status/1981043438717194681?t=MTwjhqEjTK0wWmtxxOARYA&s=19
What !you hate the fact that your fav's costar in BAYM was formerly paired with LJH in previous project?
You seemed like TF drama fan at a glance, but your comments are all about negativity on Lee Junho's acting & singing .
Sure -Your Sharp ear & not hating on him. Don't know who is singing the song either
>>https://kisskh.at/777994-typhoon-boss#comment-24336358
. As if we don't know that fandom's negativity & hate.

You come here to promote your actor & downgrading Lee Junho & playing dumb.
This is Lee Junho's drama page .. Typhoon Family. Whether we promote him or not , are none of your concern. You dare come here on Typhoon Family page promoting your actor & downgrading on Lee Junho in your precious comment thread.
Almost every viewers & industry insiders alike are giving praises to Junho's performance in 'Typhoon Family' & you are here to to talk shit about his performance in this drama & previous dramas alike. Live on BAYM fanpage and dwell there.
The Red Sleeve was based on a real life historical figures, King Jeongjo the Great, a real life monarch South Korea admired up to this day. The events in the drama, CP Sado tragedy & Lady Uibin Seong passing, were actual tragedies of Joseon dynasty ,not melodramatic or soapy just for the sake of plot. Only ignorant people will say that.
And Junho's acting in 'The Red Sleeve' is recognized by critics and public alike. He got critical acclaim by winning Producer award as well as Baeksang Best Actor award and popularity by viewership rating & Baeksang popularity award. You didn't live in those days. You are just ignorant .
And what promotion?
We are bringing Naver articles here for public.
Go to your fanpage BAYM & live there rather than lingering here & ruining the mood here.
Meeting Lee Junho 2 days earlier at a café in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, he said:
🌀I’m grateful for all the love the series has received. We spent over a year filming it with so much affection, so the lingering emotions are strong. Life is always hard. I wanted to show what kind of mindset people had as they endured the IMF crisis. I hoped the drama would serve as a bridge between those who lived through that time and the younger generation who didn’t.
To recreate the 1990s, attention was paid to styling such as clothing and hair:
🌀I looked up a lot of styles that were trending back then, especially Lee Jaehoon of the duo COOL and actor Kim Minjong’s styles in dramas.
Born in 1990, he didn’t experience the IMF crisis directly, but recalled:
🌀I remember my parents both working and struggling to make ends meet when I was young. Because my parents were so busy, we didn’t spend a lot of time together, so every moment felt more precious. My mother and I used to exchange messages on Post-it notes. These days, it feels harder to sense that kind of warmth and affection. ‘Typhoon Family’ brought back that nostalgic feeling and reminded me of the importance of family.
In the drama, Taepoong’s strongest pillar of support is Miseon, who grows from colleague to lover. Junho said:
🌀It was amazing how well Kim Minha and I matched. We filmed the romance scenes in the later part, and because we were already close by then, nothing felt awkward.
Playing the never-giving-up Taepoong, he wanted to convey the message that:
🌀If you have someone who will face hardships with you, you can get back up again no matter how many times you fall.
His schedule remains packed. On the 26th, he will release the Netflix series ‘Cashero,’ and he is also considering appearing in director Ryoo Seungwan’s ‘Veteran 3.’
🌀I know how grateful I should be to have projects lined up right away. The joy of creating a new character is what keeps me doing this work. One day, I want to be known as an actor you can trust to watch, and a singer you can trust to listen to.
Meeting Kim Minha recently at a café in Yongsan-gu, she shared:
🌸Miseon is the quintessential eldest daughter who even gives up her dream of going to university for her family. The way she quietly takes on whatever life gives her felt so admirable and strong. I’m similar to her in that I run toward my goals like a racehorse, but in terms of sincerity, Miseon is one step ahead of me. Miseon is a character I deeply cherish.
Although she has appeared in multiple OTT series, this is her first time as the lead in a traditional TV drama.
🌸It was fascinating to see real-time viewer reactions. The ratings came out the next day like a report card, and my heart would pound. I realised that waiting every week for the next episode is the true charm of TV dramas. I learned so much.
Debuting in 2016, Kim Minha rose to prominence with the 2022 ‘Pachinko.’ Her natural face gave the character a sense of realism.
🌸 I try to portray characters as realistically as possible. That’s probably why I received good feedback for roles like Pachinko or Typhoon Family, where ordinary people overcome crises. There are so many genres I want to try, from historical dramas to to fantasy. I wish I had two bodies.

Meeting Junho at a café on the 2nd, he attributed the secret of this streak to “pure luck.”
🌀I just want to say thank you, sincerely.
When I saw the final episode surpass 10%, it felt like the show went ‘Will it? Won’t it?’ and finally pushed through the hurdle, just like the drama Typhoon Family itself.
With each hit, expectations for him grow and at times, this could become pressure.
🌀No one is free from pressure. All results remain as records, so honestly, it’s always a burden. I try to relieve that pressure by putting everything into becoming the character truthfully each moment, without lying, and doing my absolute best.
In particular, the scenes where he danced and sang in the drama were “a sign that I bet everything on this project.”
To present the 1997 IMF-era dance style, he consulted choreographer Jay Black, and for the OST “Did You See The Rainbow?”, he deliberately used a voice completely unlike Kang Taepoong’s.
🌀I was a bit worried about the label of being an idol-turned-actor, but in the end I thought, ‘If I do it well, isn’t that what matters?’ I was proud that the OST I sang became one of Taepoong’s theme songs. I listen to it every day.
As both an actor and singer, Junho has many things he wants to pursue.
🌀As an actor, I’m craving roles I haven’t tried yet. In my next project, I’ll be taking on a villain, a truly evil character, down to the bone.
Regarding 2PM activities, he said:
🌀If good music comes along, I’m always willing to promote as a full group. But I’m stubborn about wanting us to come back looking really cool.
Perhaps for this reason, he says he isn’t thinking about marriage yet. When asked whether seeing fellow members, Chansung, who is already a father, and Taecyeon, who is getting married this spring, makes him want a family of his own, Junho replied:
🌀Not yet. Seeing the members so happy is really nice, and I do think that someday that time will come naturally for me too, but not now.
Lee Junho’s ultimate goal is to become a “trust-and-watch actor.”
🌀In the past, I wanted to be the kind of actor who made people think, ‘Oh, Lee Junho is in this, maybe I should check it out?’ Now I want to take it a step further: I want that curiosity to become confidence. If Lee Junho is in it, it’s worth watching, it’ll be good. Becoming an actor who gives that confidence is my ultimate goal.

251203] LeeJunho’s final thoughts #TyhoonFamily, his life, pressures and his one man agency 🌀🌸
🌀I didn’t personally experience the IMF era, so I couldn’t fully understand what my parents went through back then. But I thought this project could become a bridge connecting those who lived through the IMF and those who know nothing about that time.
🌀My parents both worked when I was young, so I spent a lot of time alone. Back then, neighbors upstairs or downstairs would look after the kids, and I’d play well with the neighborhood friends. That ability to share warmth and care without calculation, I think that was the ‘romance’ of that era. I hoped viewers could feel the love and nostalgia of those times too.
When asked whether he felt pressured taking on a title role (a protagonist whose name appears in the title), Junho replied:
🌀I didn’t feel pressured that I needed to carry the entire show. I felt more strongly that the character I was playing had to be clearly and convincingly delivered to the viewers.
🌀Taepoong gets explosively angry when he’s mad, and smiles brighter than anyone when he’s happy, he’s a very honest character. His emotions needed to be portrayed without holding anything back, so that both the employees of Typhoon Trading and the audience could open their hearts to him and learn to trust him.
Now the real-life head of his own one-man agency, Junho laughed and said,
🌀Honestly, running a company isn’t as easy as Taepoong makes it look. I completely understand the idea that ‘people matter most,’ but Taepoong prioritizes people to such an extreme that sometimes I’d get frustrated, thinking,
‘Why would he make that decision?’ I approached it as something Taepoong inherited from his father, this belief that people come first.
This project was especially meaningful to him, and Junho actively contributed ideas and ad-libs on set.
🌀The scenes where he pierces the bar or a frying pan with his safety shoes, or where he writes a wish on the shoe sole, those were ideas I suggested to the director and writer, and thankfully they were all accepted. As I became close with the cast, our conversations flowed so comfortably that ad-libs naturally came out.
He also revealed a BTS detail from a scene later in the series, where Taepoong, now a dependable CEO, drinks soju at his late father’s favorite restaurant:
🌀That scene wasn’t originally written as a crying scene. But after thinking deeply about what his father must’ve felt in ep1, and putting myself in Taepoong’s shoes in that moment, the emotions just came naturally.
‘Typhoon Family,’ a 16ep series, longer than many recent dramas, sometimes faced viewer criticism for its repetitive villain storyline involving the antagonist Pyo Hyunjun and his father.
Junho acknowledged this, saying:
🌀It’s true that the plot repeated the villain obstructing the protagonist’s path. But I trusted the director, writer, and production team, who believed it was meaningful to have not only the era’s problems (the IMF crisis) but also a character who could channel the audience’s collective frustration.
With the drama achieving its highest rating of 10.3% nationwide, Junho now has the distinction that every drama he has appeared in since his military discharge has reached double-digit ratings:
🌀I received so many compliments for this project, but the one I remember most was: ‘There was no actor Lee Junho, there was only the real Kang Taepoong.’ This project really lightened my heart, and allowed me to fully absorb the emotions of the character as I acted.
Looking ahead, he said his goal is to become a “trust-and-watch” actor:
🌀No matter the project or genre, I want to become an actor whose involvement alone makes people want to watch.

On Typhoon Family 🌀🌸and character Kang Taepoong
"In a café in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on December 2, Lee Junho shared his thoughts on the ratings:
“I was happy. As a human being, of course I hoped it would surpass 10%. There were moments when it almost crossed that line, so seeing the final episode go over 10% felt great. Of course, no project is something every actor, director, and writer will be 100% satisfied with, so there were some regrets. But I think the final episode wrapped up the story well, and that made me happy.”
Junho went through a lot physically for the role — including getting completely covered in flour.
“I think I really struggled a lot. As the protagonist, Taepoong inevitably had to go through hardships. And because the drama was set during the IMF era, it wouldn’t have made sense without showing those struggles. I felt the filming process itself was quite spectacular. The director even said he had never worked on a project with so many on-location shoots. We traveled everywhere — filming from the freezing winter to the scorching heat, everyone worked hard together.”
He recalled:
“There were tough moments every episode, but I remember a scene we shot in Busan around late April, early in filming. It was still really cold then. The flour scene was difficult, but also, everyone got seasick. We actually went out into the ocean on a boat to film. To capture everything from every angle and keep it lively, some staff had to take motion sickness medicine. Once we were out there, filming took a long time, so we stayed on the water for hours.”
He added:
“Since Taepoong faces so many hardships, emotionally the role was extremely demanding too. He’s a very colorful character — very honest, laughs when he laughs, cries when he cries. I put a lot of effort into being able to freely express that full range of emotions.”

Actor Lee Junho expressed gratitude, while also showing caution toward his own growth. Junho has achieved 3 consecutive dramas with double-digit ratings. Regarding this, he said:
🌀I always want to do well. Of course, every project has a different standard of what ‘doing well’ means. For this drama, I hoped the spirit and mindset of Typhoon Family, what we wanted to convey, would be delivered well to viewers. I hope I’m lucky enough to keep this streak going next time too.

lee junho's commenting on repetitive plot complaint from viewers :
i think the production team is the one to blame^^ that's why it felt like a different writer at latter part. turn out bcs the prod team requested plot changes.

Forgetting Lee Junho is only an actor, he can heavy lift only a certain portion of the drama and the drama production is more than an actor.
Typhoon Family is not a popular genre and the rest of the casts are relatively NEW to prime time regular episode drama & Netflix ,and getting 10% rating & global ranking is an achievement.
Some projects with TWO BIG stars failed to get 10% this year. And 'these fans claiming that TF isn't getting any achievement' is biggest joke of the year.
It is above average getting 10% viewership & weekly Gooddata buzz. But it is not the 'It' drama of the year everyone is raving about.
The drama finale surpassed 10% viewership ratings during airing. This year doesn't have a lot of K dramas that surpass 10% . You can count with fingers. Only a handful of them.
TF is one of the dramas to have over 10% viewership.
But like someone mentioned before, the channel expected it to break 15% or 20% ,the result is a little underwhelming compared to earlier expectations. It is like 'An athlete' expecting to get a Gold medal in the Olympics is getting a Silver in their hands , though the result is great.
The same for OTT viewership, it did get Netflix Korea.No.1 ranking for several days and Netflix Global ranking in earlier episodes though it is a slice of life genre. It fell out of Ranking in later episodes.
For leading actor 'Lee Junho', it is his 3rd drama that surpasses 10% viewership after the military. The local media praises his acting, especially in the later half because his acting is the saving grace of an underdeveloped script. He got his first nomination as 'Best Actor' at APAN which is going to be held in Dec last week. We have to 'Wait & See' for Baeksang.
He is currently hyped as 'Box Office King' in South Korea for having 3 consecutive 10% rating dramas.
(Below is a personal opinion)
Since the first two dramas were doing too well , the 3rd one 'Typhoon Family' achievement is a little underwhelming.
The first one 'The Red Sleeve' was 'It' drama of South Korea in 2021/ 2022 . It got a 17.3 viewership rating for the finale. 'Yi San' syndrome was phenomenal in SK & the whole production (director & the whole cast) got accolades everywhere including Baeksang.
Junho notably got 'Producer Award & Baeksang Best Actor' for his role in TRS.
Though the second one 'King The Land' didn't get critical acclaim as much as 'The Red Sleeve', it was a global success. Because it aired on Netflix and it is a Rom Com, it pushed Lee Junho to the Global stage & made him a Global star.
It got over 13% viewership for the finale & got 3 times Netflix Global No.1 ranking.
So 'Typhoon Family' itself is a moderate success, its achievement is lesser than the previous 2 dramas.
But for Lee Junho, he gave his all for his dramas. He loves his drama characters equally & he was talking about missing 'Kang Taepoong' in his bubble a few days ago.
-----------------------
Lee Junho is going to host 2025 Asia Artist Artist award on Dec 6th.
Cashero is going to be released on Dec. 26th.
Lee Junho Typhoon Family fanmeeting tour in Dec 2025 & early 2026.
He is writing songs at the moment. An album is soon to be released in near future. I think.
He is going to join a blockbuster movie sequel 'Veteran 3' production in mid 2026 and the movie is going to be released on screen in 2027.
How many super hit Global K dramas per year lately outside of popular Rom Com Genre ?
How many Kdramas > viewership rating 10% in one year ?
Calling everything 'Flops' for not getting these achievements? They are numbers. Though we want the Best for our casts & crews , let's not overly obsessed over it when the drama hasn't even aired yet.
This comment >>more 'Talking to & Reminding Myself ' than talking to you.
I am TRS era Lee Junho fan , so my expectation is extra high on Junho's projects. I need to lower my expectations,especially with K projects & scripts lately. (this one I am talking about overall Hallyu entertainment).
