The Story
In 1997, as the IMF crisis is just hitting Korea, a young man’s father passes away, leaving him to run the family’s small trading business. As he finds himself responsible for a company he knows nothing about running and a handful of devoted employees who are counting on him to save the floundering business, he resolves to do everything he can to make his late father proud of him. And he is happy to find an office worker who his father trusted, who is willing to help guide him on his new adventure
My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
‘Typhoon Family’ is a business rom-com with a modern historical twist. The drama focuses around a group of employees trying to weather the IMF crisis, and a young, inexperience man who suddenly becomes their boss. It is a classic underdog series about teamwork and perserverence. Lee Jun Ho does most of the heavy lifting for this story, and he is irresistibly charming. The color palette and props set the perfect 1990’s mood and the family elements are heartwarming.
But this is a pretty typical, light-weight rom-com. The business emphasis can be a bit slow and boring at times, and the story arcs get kind of repetitive, especially in the second half of the drama. The villain story feels one-dimensional and unreasonably extreme. But if you are looking for a simple business and family oriented rom-com, this one is a sweet, feel-good drama. I give ‘Typhoon Family’ an 8 out of 10 ramen.
