Set in 1997, while the South Korean economy was going through an economic crisis. Kang Tae-Poong's (Lee Joon-Ho) father runs a small company named Typhoon Trading Company.

While the economic crisis hits Typhoon Trading Company, Kang Tae-Poong's father passes away.

Kang Tae-Poong is determined not to let the company, which his father loved like his own family, go bankrupt. Kang Tae-Poong steps in to become the CEO and to save the company.

Oh Mi-Seon is the eldest daughter in her family and carries the burden of her family on her shoulders. She works as a bookkeeper at Typhoon Trading Company.

Comments

Anak Jan 30 2026 4:36 am This drama shows that poor director can break even the best actor. What a waste of Jun Ho! Into Ep 2 and still filled with useless slapstick. By Ep2 if a drama cannot hole interest, I drop it.

ckas Jan 22 2026 6:26 pm It became my comfort drama! I think the drama itself has a soothing effect. The cast is very good and the story is just great! Definitely recommend it, one of the best works of Junho! And Minha is finally getting the recognition that she deserves omg so good to see!! If you consider watching it, definitely worths to give it a shot! Recommend it to watch it during winter~

deok Jan 21 2026 10:19 am It was good until last episode. I've watched multiple finance K-dramas, this one isn't it. tvN can't compete with SBS, MBC when it comes to great finance dramas.

Gaga Jan 08 2026 3:16 am The script writer need to do more research on how actually companies works, especially starting from episode 9...there are also too many useless scene with stupid slapstick that is not even funny

K-drama Holic Dec 28 2025 4:42 pm Nice drama with good plot. Kudos to the actors and actresses acting! The only thing I wish not in the drama is the romance subplot. The romance between Kang Taepoong and Oh Miseon is unnecessary and feels forced. It'll be more interesting if they're just partners who had different reasons but same goal to save the company from bankruptcy, for a coming-of-age drama plot. Look at how Misaeng can be great office drama with similar genre without romance subplot. The romantic scenes ruin everything and made me fast-forwarding those parts because it's cringing.

Miri Dec 21 2025 7:52 pm Good show good acting - i particularly enjoyed Taepongs smarts in getting out of tricky situations and finding a solution. Would have been good to see the characters finally catch a break and have good luck on there side. My favourite character was Kim Hye Eun who played the port owner, Kim Ji Young who played Taepongs Mum and also the 3 characters that played the grandma, sister and little brother. Would recommend this drama as realistic and im glad the characters all had crying scenes as made it feel real when you experience misfortune.

Laura Dec 17 2025 11:41 am Honestly after a while I watched a masterpiece which is somewhat realistic . Acting is so realistic yp there are some ovrracting dramatic parts but it is really good . Love story is not some clique about some childhood connection or love at ffirst sight. Junho & Minha really lived in their characters . Even side characters are so good . Very motivating story . Really family love that bond between parents & children also depicted bbeautifully

Jookyung Dec 12 2025 9:22 am The negative reviews about why they keep losing and losing, keep suffering, so it’s boring, etc lowkey funny but how you expecting a show that take in place in 1997 IMF crisis having less conflict or less losing?? Like maybe just seek lot of office drama somewhere else. Idk if the commenters here mainly from the west where it’s not impacted by the crisis or maybe somewhere else, but as someone where my country take one of the hardest hit of this crisis I actually find the show lighter than what I expected.

I really love how this drama portraying the events. Combined with how great the casts doing. I also love how this drama definitely introduce itself would centered toward the 5 employees and the CEO but rather than we see the employees assemble together of all times, we got introduce to them one by one. Make them more shining on their own

Selin Dec 09 2025 10:52 pm I really love this series! I love how they potrayed love story, how to deal with difficult situations, the bonding of Taepoong Trading employees, and it taught me that the world is not always full of flowers or hell. For me, this is the best korean series in 2025. Hope this series can win any award show! Also congratulations for reaching 10% rating!! Cannot wait for Lee Junho and Kim Minha to give flowers at the train station ^^

Harrieth Dec 02 2025 2:50 am Before watching this, I had already researched the IMF crisis and watched documentaries about life during that time, and I can say that what they portray here is very similar to the situation back then. In this drama, we are shown the lives of ordinary people with their own strengths and weaknesses. Even though they keep taking turns failing and succeeding while trying to rebuild their company, the most important thing is resilience.

For those who say this is boring, dumb because they keep failing, or call it a stupid show — well, it’s a drama that tells a realistic story about human life, not a story about what people should do. And so far, the plot has remained consistent from beginning to end. You’re the ones who fail to understand what this drama is actually trying to convey.

Kyles Dec 01 2025 5:01 am I love the ending. It was a slow build up. It is life imitating art. The program has its flaw but it perfectly showcased how life must have been tough during the 1998 financial crisis

Wrangell Nov 30 2025 8:58 pm Stupid show, they are always doing things wrong. The story could have been good but could not be enjoyed because of too many situation where you think how could the characters so something so dumb.

Blessing Ik Oga Nov 30 2025 6:04 pm Am really missing this wonderful and amazing kdrama (typhoon family) they are the best and I really hope SeonPoong acts again! am really missing them alot Why does it have to end!!!!!!

mitty13 Nov 30 2025 5:21 pm honestly guys u are all a bunch of wussis (i know it is your opinion i just don't care). I Loved this show and to say that it was tiring or even Boring?!?! bc they had so many hardship well guess what life is like that. this show is my new roman empire

Amirul Nov 30 2025 11:12 am Episode 15 is stupid. It’s like law doesn’t exist anymore. The deal between tae poong and the pyo father, not his company. The bank simply closed early just to declare the company bankruptcy, there’s legal firm for that. You can’t easily declare other bankrupts. And the district office act like a gangster? They destroy a good drama. It beyond watchable now.

Zeila Nov 30 2025 10:50 am When I saw some of my favorites in the cast...Lee Junho, Kim Yung Ok, Kim Min Suk, Kim Sang Ho, Sung Dong Il...I got excited! It's got to be good, huh? Nope, no, nada. Most depressing show I've ever seen. Ep after ep the CEO gets trampled on, workers screw up, attempted suicide...seriously?? Horrible scenarios all the way through. The only bright spot was Junho singing "You're Just Too Good to be True" and the surprise of Kim Min Suk's beautiful voice. Probably going to get some hate, but I think KMS's voice was better than Junho's. All in all, I can't recommend this show unless you have nothing else to watch.

Saranghae Nov 29 2025 4:04 pm Today I started watching Typhoon Family, oh Good God, what a masterpiece ...well, what can I say?! Even before, I liked and admired Lee Jun Ho with all my heart but his performance in this drama is unreal, it's magnificent, it's beyond my words, it's divine....this man was born to be an actor. May God bless you Lee Jun Ho always with all His blessings in this world, Amen!!!

Justme Nov 29 2025 2:26 pm This drama offers a layered and symbolic portrayal of how ordinary people navigate the IMF crisis, making it surprisingly difficult to review in a straightforward way. There is a lot happening at once — a wide range of characters, subtle symbolism, and meaningful moments that are never directly explained. Instead, the story is presented from a third-person, observational perspective, allowing viewers to simply “peek” into the characters’ daily lives. Because of this, much of the interpretation depends on the viewer, and different people may read the symbolism in different ways. That’s why there’s mixed review of criticism and praise, for me it’s 9/10, this drama also not easily digested especially for those that can’t bear with constant suffering.

At its core, the drama emphasizes resilience, symbolized through the cosmos flower. Kang Taepoong serves as the embodiment of positive resilience. He strives to rebuild his life after the economic collapse, all while supporting the people around him, guided by the values instilled by his father. His journey shows that even during a national crisis, some individuals choose to rise together, maintain compassion, and uphold their humanity. He showed positive growtj from rookie CEO who didn’t know anything, flawed, to CEO that gained trust from his team.

On the other hand, Pyo represents negative symbolism — someone who remains trapped in ego, resentment, and personal grudges even when the nation is suffering. Instead of helping others endure the crisis, he continuously attempts to bring them down. This duality makes it clear that crises test not only economic systems but also the character and morality of individuals.

The drama reinforces this contrast by making Kang Taepoong face two constant challenges every time he tries to move forward: the economic aftermath of the IMF crisis and Pyo’s ongoing interference. Some viewers may wonder why the plot feels repetitive or why the story leans so heavily into personal conflict. But this actually makes perfect narrative sense — an antagonist who hasn’t achieved his goal will naturally keep trying. Moreover, the drama intentionally focuses on how ordinary people experience and respond to extreme circumstances, rather than delivering a technical or historical depiction of the IMF itself.

Ultimately, the message becomes clear: no matter how severe the crisis, the future is shaped by human choices. Will people rise together, set aside their ego, and become more humane, or will they give in to selfishness and personal vendettas? Through its quiet symbolism and its grounded portrayal of daily struggles, the drama invites viewers to reflect on what resilience truly means and how individuals decide who they become when everything around them collapses.

Tornado Wreck Nov 28 2025 12:23 pm Every single episode the company lose money and downsize with the same annoying guy trying to ruin everything. It became extremely tiring to watch when all their efforts are constantly going to waste. The typhoon dude simping on the female staff is on the next level of discomfort. Extremely anti-climatic and I really don't recommend the show. Don't waste your time.

Tery Salty Nov 27 2025 2:55 am @Ryunami: Please dont embarrass yourself. haha.. I am Indonesian and casually come and go to KL,MY. Malaysian also use "Saya" in their language, same meaning with "Saya" in Bahasa. "Awak" in Malay means "Kamu" in Bahasa. lol

workinggirl Nov 26 2025 3:03 pm Love this drama. Yes, it shows a lot of hardships but because That's Life. Thats the whole point of this drama. Its to show to the viewers that you wont get anything in life the easy way especially when it comes to being a businessman. Everything is a risk. What i also love about this is that it eventhough the characters are going through so much pain, they still have that hope in them and they are happy in the simplest ways. That's life when you're in poverty. This a story about how the characters are gonna get back up after the IMF crisis. So many lessons to learn from this show. Last thing, i Loveee the main leads chemistry. Kilig. Lee jun ho ur so handsome <333

Hamidah Ashari Nov 26 2025 9:45 am Taking forever to watch. Such an annoying drama. Stupidity of the boastful sales guy made everything down the drain. And the girl got a handbag but had to hold the envelope of pictures in her hand. Speechless

Fun Nov 24 2025 2:35 am It's a Bad Drama Actually. Because I didn't see the Male Lead as a Great or Good Leader. He always do something alone without good strategy or discussion with his team. Just walking alone and hopping support that he didn't ask to his team.

The Conflict i think is a Lazy Writing form the Writer that every Story didn't give a unique plot and high value to get a Learn or something that related with any problem. I know its a fiction Drama but some research is not deep enough.

Magnolia Nov 23 2025 7:08 am @ryunami Malaysia have more than 800 islands while Indonesia have more than 17.000 islands, Google is free for you to double check before embarrassing yourself.

Fanatic Nov 22 2025 5:32 pm I actually adore this drama, yes, it’s a lot of pain and sadness and happiness doesn’t last too long, but it’s showing life so real. I don’t want it to finish. I wait for it all week.

Ryunami Nov 21 2025 7:25 am Worst, the scene where Bae Song jung in Malaysia is actually shot not in Malaysia. The people walking along the streets where Bae made the phone calls dont look a bit like a local Malaysian. They look either like immigrants from South Asian countries (India or Bangladesh) or like the Thais. The sounds the man eating noodles bought by Bae also sounds like a Thai. The public phones Bae used? That type of phone could only exist in 1960s or 70s, not in a modern and 1997's Malaysia.

Ryunami Nov 21 2025 6:28 am It is a huge ignorant by the production of this drama. Please check your facts first. The country with more than 800 islands is Indonesia, not Malaysia!!

Jasmine Nov 20 2025 5:34 pm Can you guys make this movie less sad Cause a lot of tragic things keep happening… it’s actually boring at this point Cause the suffering and struggles are too much I’m not gonna lie the movie is nice but i really don’t see why they keep struggling and suffering Every episode has its own tragic happenings it’s not nice

Seras Nov 18 2025 1:24 pm Dear @Lucy, its okay, Some of the criticism about this drama has no effect on Junho because this drama is popular & the ratings are getting higher, the media reports that Junho is successful in the hit drama 3 times in raw the red sleeve, king the land, typhoon family.. There is criticism about the script writer about plot drama, but Junho's acting still gets praise..

Yuunse Nov 18 2025 10:45 am When youre life is so hard & already bored, just skip this drama.. dont watch this. This drama about struggle of bussines But for me I can still enjoy about it.. maybe the plot was repeated & I dont mind because I like junho acting.. the main character still can joke around beside their struggle bussines.. the rating still continue rise high

Chymira Nov 18 2025 10:01 am I have had enough of the setback towards Tae pong,I thought the suffering will end after the visit to Thailand,but rather keep getting worse and boring

Pumpkin Nov 17 2025 5:47 pm I think it should be 12 episodes or less. Bcs too much conflict that make it boreeeeed :(

Magda USA Nov 17 2025 5:37 pm As always Lee JunHo is excellent! Such a great versatile actor! One of South Korea’s best!!! Actor, singer, dancer and model! And super good looking! However this is one doom and gloom series all the way through! As good as acting as he’s doing as the rest of the cast on his side, the Plot stinks!!! Could have been way better! He takes one step forward, only to fall back 2 steps all throughout the series! Ridiculous!!! Boring! Inadequate! I stopped at episode 7, couldn’t take the same old same old again happening! Too bad! Because Lee JunHo deserves a much better role and plot! Writers did a bad job! Not worth watching!

KSA Nov 17 2025 9:06 am The story is starting to get boring. It’s already episode 12 and the main character is still suffering. Every time they try to sell something, there’s always some kind of obstacle. I thought that after episode 8, Typhoon Trading would start to rise and succeed, but it turns out that even up to episode 12, the problems are still the same

M Nov 17 2025 1:38 am Love the show so much, its a slice of life drama, there will be failures and wins will come ofcourse. The pay off will be great. Lee Junho is acting this out of the park, really making it a 3D character.

Eds Nov 17 2025 12:45 am Disappointing Kdrama. I find it stressing. Can you please give justice to main leads? I don't want to watch it anymore.

Lucy Nov 16 2025 6:04 pm First drama of Junho that I find so boring!, It's keeps repeating bad happenings! Bad story! I am very surprised that he accepted this drama!

Kdrama addictt Nov 16 2025 12:56 pm Another misfortune after huge fortune. R-E-P-E-A-T. I hate sw-nim. Why the plot has nothing but repeatedly case. Taepoong vs Pyo Hyunjun. And why Thypoon Sangsa always being stupid in everything. Didn’t learn from previous case? Warehouse unsecured properly? Things taken away easily????????

Queenie Couzijn Nov 16 2025 11:38 am Why is Pyo Hak-Ho so focused on the downfall of Typhoon Trading?

Not a fans Nov 16 2025 10:20 am This show just too much, misfortune after misfortune, not fun to watch

Febrylian Nov 15 2025 8:07 pm good story but until episode 11 it's a bit boring because it seems like the main problem is in Pyo's group .. for the character I really like FL Kim Min Ha I think she has a strong character that is not ordinary. The character's face is even more unique with her freckles, her gestures are very natural .. hopefully she will be more successful! LJH no doubt she has a good character and confidence that really suits the character of this film. besides that I like the character of Tae Pong's mother .. hopefully episode 12 will be more interesting

Hamidah Ashari Nov 13 2025 9:12 pm Stressful drama. Poor guy

Agnesneuhauser Nov 11 2025 9:20 am I think the story is quite sad,,nothing good is happening in any episode.He loses everything ,flat, business, goods,,he wants tobecame a merchant,but can't sell anything.The only really nice ep. Was the 9th,when he sang a big hit,really well ,and they were perfect.So Lee Jun Ho and kim Min...She is the girl? are nice but I don't like the drama.

Beth Nov 10 2025 8:04 pm This may not have anything to do with anyone listed on this page, but I greatly appreciate the person who translated this drama into English. Using Pusan instead of Busan because the change happened in 2000! I love that little detail.

Olya_1004 Nov 10 2025 12:00 am I love this drama so much,I can't wait for Friday each week to watch it. Usually I watch a few ongoing dramas and I tend to not watch the same drama in consecutive days but this one is just pulling me in.

I won't lie ,I was hesitant because I've seen the FL in Light shop and while she acted well I had a hard time seeing her as a lead I guess because of how she looks but I feel ashamed because I do see a lot her natural charm in this drama. Kiss scene was chefs kiss lol, I guess Junho just knows how to kiss because even in King the land they had one of the best first kisses I've seen.

This drama just has a lot going for it without overshadowing the plot with romance or being over the top. Loveable characters and some annoying ones but overall it has a lot of heart.

I find that I really love Tae Poong's mom,she is such a sweet lady that opened up her heart to a family that's not hers and trying to give them the mother figure they are missing. I've been seeing a lot of rich ladies like her in Kdramas lately and I love them. Like the step mom in A hundred memories or the oldest member of the group in A virtuous business or the landlady that wanted to be a lawyer in law and the city. Instead of following the usual trope of mean and nasty rich moms these ones have been showing so much love and care.

Cancer26 Nov 09 2025 1:49 pm This drama makes me crazy every week really!!! I mean im having a dilemma from monday to friday!!! Why did i broke my own self rules to not watch the ongoing drama?!! Why?!!???

Me : (mon-fri) ?‍???‍?????

Also me : ( sat-sun) ??????

This is how this beautiful, cool, refreshing drama giving me so much emotions every week so far?‍?

nana Nov 08 2025 9:19 am honestly it's So refreshing to have a natural beauty FL, love her freckles, and she's so hardworking and smart ! I like the fact that it's not romance focus for now, it goes slowly and smoothly

Mon Nov 07 2025 10:31 am Why does lee joon ho looks like stephen chow somehow in this drama or is it just me?

fynnunn Nov 04 2025 3:07 pm It is because you are used to the usual visual of a Female Lead, doll like and cute.. She is pretty imo, and i find an overwhelming chemistry between them, but not the usual visual couple you are used to..

and for once please focus on the storyline itself, it is definitely good. scenes and dialogues are choreograph simply, and thats the beauty of it.

venus Nov 04 2025 9:21 am a very good drama.the fl is doing great,so stop criticizing her because she's one of the reason why the drama is going well,without any irritating romantic scenes

amalia Nov 04 2025 5:56 am This drama was so greaattt

Ute Nov 04 2025 5:01 am Regarding the FL: I think you see what it's about her in the first episode. Tae-poong loves flowers, he cares about them, helps them to flourish and he calls Min-ha a cosmos. During the series we will see her slowly blossom up. She will grow and he will strengthen her without overshadowing her small steps.

I can't wait to follow this series, it is so different from many romance dramas. For me this series is a gem with the highest rating! I love this show!

Rebecca Nov 03 2025 9:54 pm I haven't started watching this because the ML and FL seem like an odd match. King the Land was not the best Lee Junho show but no one can deny the chemistry he had with the FL. It's not just the visuals that seem off but Lee Junho has a very strong presence so he does need a strong FL to match that too. Someone help me get past this irrational bias so I can start watching this show without being disappointed! Signed, Flexible.

jillian Nov 03 2025 5:36 pm Same with Angel here! I'm sorry, I really like Lee Joon-Ho and I'm a fan, but I can not force myself to continue watching this because of the female lead. =(

A Nov 01 2025 7:30 pm Great drama! Enjoying the characters and loyality, similar story line to Itaewon Class.

Liquette marie pierre Oct 31 2025 11:29 am Oh..excellent...!!!!!

Lee jun ho..has matured in such a fine delicate way... Kim min ha is such a fine choice ..

Cant wait for the 10 coming episodes..

Sa Oct 31 2025 3:27 am Guys there a ballad playing in episode 1, like in minute 20 somewhere there I Need That Song Send Help anyone knows?

PaulS Oct 30 2025 9:32 pm Entertaining but OMG, halfway through and I just realized that Tae Poong is the word Typhoon as a name.

Babe ABCD Oct 27 2025 12:27 pm The drama is a coming of age genre and it has 16 episodes. And the romance is slow burn .

It takes time to build the story. Episode 1 is about a boy called Kang Tae Poong Episode 2 is losing his father & why he has to become an employee of his father's company. Episode 3 is about losing everything and Episode 4 is rebuilding a business from the ashes.

It has been slowly buiding emotional core of the story. The Real Business and challenges started from episode 5 & 6 when Taepoong sells the first ever item of his export company.

Ppl are used to short episode dramas and tiktok reels. They think stories with proper built up are boring & want a ready made handsome,rich, intelligent leads from the start.

Hara kati kapu Oct 26 2025 3:19 pm Is the Pyo always stopping him? If the Pyo always win, I don't want to watch it anymore.

Wookielover Oct 25 2025 10:20 pm I think it's okay actually,not too good but not so bad either,just enough to keep you watching what's next

Nice drama, I love it Oct 22 2025 5:50 am Its a nice drama. I enjoy watching Lee Joon-Ho in dramas. The others are okay as well. If it grabs my attention I'll watch it. I also like the fact there are only 16 episodes

Cosmos Oct 20 2025 2:55 am Very realistic and heart warming drama! Don’t expect makjang or over dramatic scenes as this drama is a human genre drama means it’s completely realistic no time traveling no makjang no fantasy no murders whatsoever just flawed characters that is relatable, real and we can empathise them~ the feel and vibes is so nice and warm, junho is good as always been loving his dramas, minha is cute and really fits the role. Great script and writing, I know why some people may find it boring maybe sometimes it’s hard to understand as we r in different era, but it’s interesting to learn about the past. Hope more people can admire this drama ! It’s really different and unique from other dramas :)

YQ Oct 20 2025 12:08 am so far so good a bit of lacking but is there a perfect series? I'm enjoying it and it's definitely Not because of Junho. Not At All

Kaikai Oct 19 2025 10:50 pm What a fun series! Bawling my eyes so hard for the first two episodes. So far it is a solid drama and what is the song when they were on the train and locked eyes?? I am sooo obsessed rn

Soniii Oct 19 2025 3:28 pm There is no way people are calling this Drama borring. We are Only on episode 4 and yall are expecting for the plot to be quickly run through. It is very interesting and very good. Plus have you guys noticed the cast, it's crazyyy, all of them are amazing performers

Injeooll Oct 19 2025 1:45 pm 1000/1000. Drama but there are quirky moments! Lee jun ho and kim min ha are sung great actors.

Rosalie Oct 19 2025 12:10 pm its not disappointing and boring!! we're only on 4 ep so far. this drama is so well written no wonder the rating always gets higher every episode!

Rosalie Oct 19 2025 7:34 am Disappointing And Boring!

Memories Oct 19 2025 12:51 am This really stirred up many memories for folks like me who went through the 97-98 period. In personifying the struggles of both employees and business owners, this drama was very well written and performed...the tenacity to rebuild a collapsing economy was so inspiring. The art direction and great acting was on point. The slowburn but sweet romance got me cheering them on.

Rose Oct 18 2025 11:36 pm This drama excels in autenticity (from costumes Props to minute detail,everything feels 1997), acting( Lee Junho, MinHa shine), music score( well suited for each scene) and pace(a lot happens in An episode). Kudos to the writer, production team And specially the actors Who are outstanding! Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

Lol Oct 18 2025 6:06 am Boring!

Adol Oct 16 2025 12:50 am anybody knows the song title that played on the train scene ?

Asufz Oct 15 2025 5:32 am Kim MinHa is so so cute.. her innocent look is so damn adorable..

Taiwo Oct 13 2025 7:25 pm Love watching Kim Min-Ha. The drama looks good. Lol

Yannnn Oct 13 2025 9:17 am absolutely love this dramaaaa!

The aesthetic vibes and the whole cast are well thought of! It's a perfect combo of tearjerker and laughter! Loving it!!!

Rosalie Oct 13 2025 9:08 am Outstanding cast!

Eser Oct 12 2025 1:59 pm Drama is very well shooted and written l think. First episode was great. Players are well chosen. This is one of the best of 2005

Patricia Sta Maria Oct 12 2025 5:37 am Love the 1st episode but have to wait so long to finish the drama. Can the time be cut shorter like 4 episodes per week. Thank u

Shinney Oct 12 2025 5:24 am I am looking forward to watching this drama tonight. I love everything Lee Jun Ho perform. You are so cool. Composing, Singing, Dancing, Acting... all are awesome.
