Typhoon Company

Depicts the struggles of small and medium-sized businesses and their families who face the 1997 IMF crisis head-on.

Typhoon Family (2025) is a South Korean television drama aired on tvN, created by Lee Na-jeong and produced by Studio Dragon. Set during the 1997 IMF financial crisis in Korea, it follows small and medium-sized business owners and their families as they confront collapsing markets, unpaid debts and shrinking credit. Junho plays Kang Tae-poong, a trading company head whose struggle to keep his firm afloat tests his loyalty to the people around him, while Kim Min-ha plays Oh Mi-seon and Kim Ji-young plays Jung Jeong-mi, both caught in the financial pressures that spill into their households. Supporting performances from Kim Min-seok, Moo Jin-sung and Kim Yeong-ok fill out a web of employees, rivals and relatives. The series is a single sixteen-episode season that unfolds as a continuous story rather than isolated cases, with each installment built from negotiations, bank visits, payroll crises and tense family confrontations. Its tone is earnest and emotionally grounded, blending sober economic anxiety with moments of warmth and resilience. Themes of perseverance, moral compromise and family solidarity run through the drama. Viewers who enjoy the workplace intensity of Misaeng: Incomplete Life or the historical sweep of Mr. Sunshine will find resonance in its portrait of ordinary people navigating a nation in upheaval.
