tvN 'Typhoon Family' Lee Junho and Kim Min-ha finally succeeded in returning to the Typhoon Family Euljiro office. But their relief was short-lived; this time an unexpected incident befell Lee Sang-jin, exploding unpredictable tension until the end.
The 14th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Typhoon Family' broadcast on the 23rd (directed by Na Jung and Kim Dong-hwi, written by Jang Hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Imaginus·Studio PIC·Three Studio) recorded an average nationwide and metropolitan household rating of 9.5% and a high of 10.3%, holding the No. 1 spot in its time slot across all channels including terrestrial networks. The 20-49 target rating was also an average nationwide household rating of 2.7%, peaking at 3%, ranking No. 1 in its time slot across all channels including terrestrial networks.

The broadcast first went back nine years to the truth of the IOU. Facing bankruptcy and desperately trying to raise money, Pyo Sang-seon owner Pyo Park-ho (Kim Sang-ho) wrote an IOU transferring 30% of his company equity to Typhoon Family owner Kang Jin-young (Sung Dong-il) in exchange for borrowing 40 million won. This later became the final card that would save the struggling Typhoon Family, Kang Taepung (Lee Junho). When delivery became difficult after Pyo Hyun-jun (Mu Jin-seong)'s arson, Taepung proposed swapping the IOU for the 3 million surgical gloves Pyo Sang-seon had purchased in bulk. The deal was struck with the added condition that if the IOU was not handed over by the promised date, the owner would give up his position. Taepung successfully completed the Public Procurement Service delivery.
They narrowly caught their breath from the bankruptcy crisis, but another aftershock hit Typhoon Family. Cha Seon-taek (Kim Jae-hwa)'s past wrongdoing shocked the employees. He leaked the delivery date and warehouse location information to Pyo Hyun-jun, leading to an arson incident that endangered Om Mi-seon's (Kim Min-ha) life, and beyond that, the trust built over the past 26 years collapsed, bringing an indescribable disappointment. Wracked with guilt and swallowing tears alone, Seon-taek ultimately sold her house to return the money she had received from Pyo Park-ho and was driven out of the juice company. Pushed into an extreme situation where even her son was threatened, her circumstances—forced into a wrong choice—left a bitter aftertaste.
Taepung also had an urgent problem. To keep his position as owner, he had to find the IOU. He sneaked into the empty Typhoon Family office in Euljiro in the middle of the night and searched, but it was nowhere to be found. He was eventually caught by a patrolling guard and embarrassedly taken to the police station. Exhausted just thinking about the IOU, Mi-seon suggested they take a breather and proposed a vacation during the holiday season. The two, who had run without rest to protect the company, enjoyed an ordinary seaside vacation like everyone else and spent the most romantic time together.
Meanwhile, Pyo Hyun-jun's madness intensified. He even committed arson to bring down Taepung, but learning that the surgical gloves had gone to someone else twisted his pride completely. Bursting into his father's office in the middle of the night, he exploded with inferiority and rage, crying out that he wanted to be recognized even once. But Pyo Park-ho scolded his son and pushed him as a "loser." Losing his reason, Pyo Hyun-jun struck his father's head and then committed the immoral act of locking his still-breathing father in a container.
The promised payment deadline with Pyo Park-ho arrived. Although the IOU was never found, Taepung judged that the guarantee letter itself effectively acknowledged the IOU's existence and sought to meet in person to settle the matter. For some reason, he could not reach Pyo Park-ho, and Pyo Sang-seon's office was occupied by Pyo Hyun-jun. Having no choice, Taepung left after leaving only evidence that he had been at Pyo Sang-seon's on the promised date.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Family regained its long-lost vigor. With the surgical glove delivery safely handled and breathing room restored, they decided to return to their original Euljiro office. Taepung, Mi-seon, and Go Ma-jin (Lee Chang-hoon), Gu Myeong-gwan (Kim Song-il), and Delivery Jung (Lee Sang-jin) returned to the familiar space, held a cutting ceremony and took commemorative photos to celebrate the new start together. Leaving the owner's office empty and deciding to work in the same space as everyone else, Taepung strengthened the "family-like company" atmosphere unique to Typhoon Family.
But peace did not last long. Song-jung, who had stepped out to take a call, burst into the office in tears. Grabbing Taepung's hand tightly, she cried, "My father is dying. Please save my father," her face a mix of fear and despair. What on earth happened to him draws attention to the final story of 'Typhoon Family,' now only two episodes remain.
The 15th episode of 'Typhoon Family' airs on Sat., 29 at 9:10 p.m., and the 16th episode airs on Sun., 30 at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
