I actually liked this drama. It’s dark — very dark. No romance, no comedy, no light moments. Just the harsh, ugly side of Joseon shown without sugarcoating.
Rowoon surprised me. This is his first time playing such a heavy role, and he nailed it. His eyes and expressions showed exhaustion, pain, and emotional collapse — not overacted, just raw.
It’s not a “fun” drama, but it’s bold and different. If you want something realistic and unapologetically bleak, this is it.
I didn’t think I’d ever say this since I wasn’t even planning to watch it, but you guys recommended it to me — and wow… it’s so much fun! I’m really enjoying it!
Haven't even started yet, but I know how it ends from a Youtube short.From what I have read Sang Yeon does then…
Eun Jung isn’t a saint or unrealistic at all. She and Sang Yeon have a long, complicated history — Eun Jung has seen everything: when they were broke, when life turned upside down, when her brother died, and her parents split up. She even resents her mother.
She’s not overly kind or perfect — she actually hates Sang Yeon sometimes, cuts her off when things get toxic, but still ends up feeling sorry for her. Some people are just like that in real life — not saints, just empathetic and soft-hearted, especially toward someone they once loved and grew up with.
Her empathy isn’t about being naive; it’s something she learned from her mom, who raised her with too much compassion.
Can we get Park Jihyun in more dramas, her acting is amazing
did you know that she acted with (Kim Go Eun) in Yumi's Cells? both have the same roles. Park Jihyun was [Ung's colleague] who loved him and she was the reason for breaking up between Yumi & Ung
Did you watch Way Back Love? it's a romance drama and she did very well. The romance in TF is supposed quite subtle…
No, I didn't, I couldn't see her in romantic role, that's why I didn't watch it, but somehow, I liked her role with "Lee Min Ho" in Pachinko , maybe because her role was about struggling in life more that romantic scenes
Is Typhoon Family worth watching? I haven’t started it yet, but I wanted to share my initial thoughts. I really loved Lee Jun Ho in The Red Sleeve—his performance was amazing! I also liked the leading actress from Pachinko.
However, I noticed her new role is in a romance, and I’m not sure this genre suits her, so I’m a bit hesitant to watch. This isn’t a criticism of her acting at all, but sometimes certain roles just don’t fit some actors. That said, my love for Lee Jun Ho makes me tempted to give the series a try.
I started this drama two days ago, and since then, the only thing I do is: go to work → come home to watch "You and Everything Else" → then go to sleep.
I’m currently on episode 6, and I honestly can’t wait to finish it.
Kim Go Eun’s dramas are just so addictive. There’s some kind of magic in them — I’m not sure if it’s her acting, or if she just has a perfect eye for choosing captivating projects.
I understand your point, but I don’t quite agree. In my experience, many viewers actually complain that 16-episode…
I actually agree that many long dramas feel dragged out, and I also appreciated the fact that this one was fast-paced and never boring. For me though, the issue wasn’t the length, but the way the final episode felt rushed and poorly wrapped up. I don’t mind a tighter story at all, but I do hope for an ending that makes sense and respects the buildup. In this case, it just felt like such a waste after everything that was done so well earlier (fighting swordsmen with pot lids and spoons, no explanation for the king being in the future, so childish scenes)
I came here to write a review and realized almost everyone already said what I was thinking. The drama was surprisingly fun and way more enjoyable than I expected, but the last episode ruined everything. There was so much mess and inconsistency. I won’t repeat what all the other reviews already mentioned — because it’s exactly how I feel too — but honestly, why do writers keep destroying great shows with rushed, poorly wrapped-up endings? Such a shame to see a drama this good collapse with such a lazy and nonsensical conclusion.
The last episode was pretty bad and felt childish...fighting swordsmen with pot lids and spoons (really?), FL…
exactly , I really loved this drama, but the last episode was childish, I can accept all these childish scenes , but not the last one when the king is in the future, the writers couldn't explain that, so they made it secret !! really..I came here for comments because of the last episode..they wrapped the history of the king in a beautiful way without changing the events (or history) ..but why did they write this episode like this!!
I usually wait until I finish the drama to write my review, but I only watched episode 1 and before watching episode 2 I should write this.. finally the lovely "Park Min Young" is back..I used to love her characters and acting very much, but recently, she disappointed me and I stopped watching her dramas.. If you are a fan for Park Min Young in (Sungkyunkwan Scandal, City Hunter, Healer, Remember: War of the Son, Queen for Seven Days, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim ) then you will love this drama as well.
