In late 1997, as South Korea teeters on the brink of economic collapse, Typhoon Corporation, a small business in Euljiro, struggles to stay afloat. At its center is CEO Kang Jin-young, who has led the company with quiet integrity for over two decades. While he and his employees endure mounting financial pressure, his son, Kang Tae-poong, lives aimlessly, enjoying the comforts of wealth as a member of the flashy "Abstreet Boys" in Apgujeong. After a fight with a rival leads to his arrest, Jin-young refuses to intervene, believing Tae-poong must face the consequences of his actions. Their relationship, already strained, grows colder—though beneath the surface, affection remains. Tae-poong expresses his care in small, silent acts, like grafting a rose for his father and polishing his shoes each morning. As the economy falters and bankruptcy rumors spread, Jin-young makes a risky business decision in a last effort to protect the company. The pressure overwhelms him, and he collapses from a heart attack. While Tae-poong keeps vigil at the hospital, he briefly steps away and returns to find his father has died. News of South Korea's IMF bailout breaks, signaling both a national crisis and a turning point in Tae-poong's life.[16] | |||||

Upon arriving at the office to settle his father's affairs, Tae-poong is confronted with the harsh realities of the struggling business—unpaid debts, demands from creditors, and a workforce that has mostly resigned due to the financial turmoil. He discovers a secret safe containing bankbooks under the names of employees, a testament to his father's deep care and long-term commitment to his staff. His father also made monthly deposits in his name with a brief message expressing his love and support for Tae-poong's dreams and the importance of people over results. With encouragement and support from accountant Oh Mi-sun, who has been steadfast throughout the crisis, Tae-poong decides to take responsibility and become actively involved in the company. He adopts a more serious and professional demeanor, leaving behind his previously carefree lifestyle, and begins learning the business. At a delivery site, Tae-poong notices signs of financial distress, such as empty files and disconnected phone lines, indicating possible fraud or mismanagement. He takes decisive action to halt a risky delivery by laying in front of the truck to stop it.[17] | |||||

Tae-poong continues to face mounting challenges as he tries to keep Typhoon Corporation afloat. After physically blocking a delivery truck to prevent a failed deal with Daebang Textile, he is forced to unload fabric in an empty parking lot due to the lack of available warehouse space. He spends the night guarding the materials alone. The next day, Pyo Baek-ho offers the use of his old, poorly maintained warehouse. With no other options, Go Ma-jin hurriedly accepts the agreement, despite Tae-poong's skepticism. Heavy rain soon threatens the stored fabric, prompting all employees to work together through the night to protect it. However, a clause in the warehouse contract reveals that goods can be seized after 72 hours of non-payment. Unable to secure a loan or outside help, Tae-poong faces the likely loss of the inventory. As tensions rise, many long-time employees choose to resign, expressing frustration that the company can no longer support them. One urges Kang to file for closure. Despite the departures, Mi-sun remains loyal, insisting the company is worth saving. In a final act of determination, Tae-poong visits her and offers a handwritten business card naming himself "President." He asks her to join him in rebuilding from scratch. She accepts, offering a glimmer of hope amid the company's ongoing crisis.[18][19][20] | |||||

Tae-poong discovers that part of a fabric shipment was never unloaded and, noticing the contract lacks unit specifications, recalculates the quantity in yards instead of meters, creating a shortfall. When Pyo tries to return the goods to Italy—violating conditions prohibiting changes in quantity or quality—he's stuck with the inventory and mounting logistics costs. Tae-poong and Mi-sun seize the opportunity, offering to sell him the remaining fabric at triple the original price, forcing Pyo to comply. With the deal closed, they travel to Busan in search of new export ventures, where they meet Jeong Cha-ran, a seasoned international trader. Mi-sun impresses her with sharp mental math, while Tae-poong becomes intrigued by Shoe Park safety shoes after a dramatic live demo by the inventor, Park Yoon-cheol. He impulsively places an order for 500 pairs, earning a rebuke from Mi-sun and doubts from Jeong, who's never heard of the brand. Tae-poong later apologizes to Mi-sun during a quiet moment on the beach. But the reprieve is short lived and on Christmas, Tae-poong's apartment is auctioned off, leaving him and his mother with no home. With nowhere else to go, they return to Typhoon Company. Meanwhile, Pyo begins watching closely as Tae-poong, humbled but undeterred, prepares for his next big move.[21] | |||||

Mi-sun discovers Tae-poong and his mother sleeping at the company and brings them to her humble home. Tae-poong's business takes a devastating turn when he finds out that Shoe Park has gone bankrupt. The owner, Yoon-cheol, had borrowed money from the ruthless loan shark Ryu Hee-gyu and failed to repay it, leading to the loss of both Tae-poong's advance payment and his entire shipment. Determined to set things right, Tae-poong searches for a solution. With Mi-sun's help, he gathers 5 million won—the amount Ryu demanded to release the goods—and travels to Busan to reclaim them. At the factory, Tae-poong discovers Yoon-cheol severely beaten and the place abandoned. Realizing that paying Ryu would only enable further abuse, he refuses to hand over the money. Instead, he chooses to rescue Yoon-cheol, valuing human life over financial loss. Facing Ryu directly, Tae-poong proposes a daring deal—to sell 7,000 pairs of safety shoes for 100 million won, on the condition that Ryu takes the money and disappears—but when Ryu warns that he will take Tae-poong's eyes if the promise is broken, Tae-poong accepts without hesitation.[22] | |||||

Misun initially becomes frustrated when 7,000 units arrive in Seoul instead of the agreed 500, concerned about exports and Tae-poong's unilateral decision, but he apologizes and reassures her. Together, Tae-poong and Misun launch an all-out sales campaign, targeting Europe and the United States where worker safety is highly valued. Tae-poong demonstrates the shoes' durability in videos, performing stunts on broken glass and over obstacles, while Misun, using her business English skills, successfully pitches to overseas buyers, resulting in a major contract. An unexpected problem arises when the ship scheduled to transport the shoes refuses to load them, as Tae-poong's company was blacklisted due to the scheming of Pyo Sang-seon. Mi-sun, having learned about the loan certificate and Tae-poong's pledge to give up his eyes, was upset at his reckless approach that ignored the responsibility of a president. Amid tension, Tae-poong and Misun discover the Busan Fish Market and conceive the idea of using ocean-going fishing vessels to transport the shoes.[23] | |||||

Reception
Critical reception
Typhoon Family has received positive attention for its meticulous recreation of 1990s South Korea, resonating strongly with viewers through its authentic portrayal of the era's aesthetics and social atmosphere. The drama's detailed set design, period-accurate props, and use of era-specific elements — such as pagers, cassette tapes, and 1990s television captions — have been praised for evoking a strong sense of nostalgia. Director Lee Na-jeong emphasized the importance of historical accuracy, with the production team sourcing rare items and interviewing people who lived through the 1997 Asian financial crisis to ensure authenticity.[58] Following the premiere, Lee Jun-ho's performance as Kang Tae-poong was widely acclaimed for its emotional depth and subtle expressiveness. Critics and viewers praised his balance of humor, vulnerability, and growth, with writer Jang Hyun noting his ability to embody the "nation's son, boyfriend, and CEO." His portrayal was seen as a key strength of the series, reinforcing his reputation as a versatile and bankable lead.[59][60] Pop culture critic Jung Deok-hyun said, "Kang Tae-pung is a very three-dimensional character and not an easy one to play. In some ways, it could be a very hopeless situation, but the actor's task was to portray it with the character's optimistic and positive spirit without making it too heavy."[61]
