In a dramatic turn of events, Typhoon Family Episode 13 delivered major revelations and character shifts as Kang Tae-poong finally learned the truth behind the mysterious promissory note that has been haunting his family business. The episode, which aired on November 22, 2025, mixed tense corporate drama with emotional moments between the main characters, culminating in a significant power shift between Typhoon Trading and Pyo Merchant Marine.
Warehouse Fire Sets Off Chain of Events
The episode opened with immediate tension as Oh Mi-seon was shown trapped inside a burning warehouse filled with their surgical glove inventory. The fire was deliberately set by Pyo Hyun-jun, who locked the door before leaving the scene. As smoke filled the room, Mi-seon regretted not confessing her feelings to Tae-poong.
Tae-poong noticed the smoke from a distance and rushed to rescue her, breaking into the burning building and carrying her to safety despite falling debris. The near-death experience prompted Mi-seon to confess her feelings immediately after waking up in the hospital, asking Tae-poong to date her right there in the emergency room.
Mi-seon’s grandmother later asked Tae-poong to promise he would always look after her granddaughter, acknowledging how much Mi-seon had started smiling again since meeting him. Meanwhile, Cha Seon-taek confronted Hyun-jun about the fire, but he showed no remorse and continued threatening her children to maintain control over her.
The Glove Crisis Worsens
With most of their surgical gloves destroyed in the fire, the Typhoon Trading team faced their most serious crisis yet. They needed to fulfill a major contract with the Public Procurement Office to supply gloves for shipment to Africa, but their remaining stock was unusable due to smoke damage.
The team discovered that Pyo Merchant Marine had purchased exactly three million pairs of surgical gloves—the precise quantity Typhoon Trading needed. When Tae-poong personally begged Hyun-jun to sell him the gloves, Hyun-jun refused and even hinted that he was responsible for the warehouse fire.
This setback led Tae-poong to a bar his father used to frequent, where he reflected on his father’s struggles and their lost time together. Nam-mo joined him and mentioned seeing Seon-taek entering their office after hours, prompting Tae-poong to investigate.
The Truth About the Promissory Note
The episode’s pivotal moment occurred when Tae-poong returned to the office and found Cha Seon-taek searching through company files. Confronted, she revealed she was looking for the promissory note under Pyo Bak-ho’s orders and admitted to taking bribes from him.
She explained the full story: nine years earlier, Tae-poong’s father had lent Pyo Bak-ho 40 million won during a financial crisis. The unpaid debt, with nearly a decade of accumulated interest, had grown large enough to potentially bankrupt Pyo Merchant Marine if the promissory note were ever found and the debt collected.
This revelation changed everything for Tae-poong, who finally understood why the Pyo family had been sabotaging his business at every turn. Armed with this knowledge, he devised a new strategy to save his company.
A Bold Bluff Turns the Tide
The next day, Tae-poong stormed into Pyo Bak-ho’s office and pretended he had found the promissory note. He calculated that the debt with interest was now substantial enough to claim Pyo Merchant Marine’s entire office building.
Rather than demanding immediate payment, Tae-poong offered a trade: the surgical gloves in exchange for forgetting about the debt. With no way to confirm whether Tae-poong actually had the document, Bak-ho reluctantly agreed to the deal.
The agreement came with a critical condition: Tae-poong had to produce the actual promissory note by a specified deadline or resign as CEO of Typhoon Trading. He signed this guarantee, putting his leadership on the line.

Satisfying Confrontation at the Docks
The episode concluded with a dramatic confrontation at the docks as Typhoon Trading began loading the surgical gloves. Hyun-jun arrived furious and challenged Tae-poong to a physical fight.
Before blows could be exchanged, Mi-seon intervened and slapped Hyun-jun across the face, stating clearly that she knew he had started the warehouse fire. The episode ended with Hyun-jun on the ground, looking up at the couple in stunned silence as Typhoon Trading secured the gloves needed to fulfill their contract.
The emotional episode also featured developments in the relationship between Nam-mo and Mi-ho, whose drunken confession of her feelings led to a warmer interaction with Nam-mo’s mother, Eul-nyeo.
