After a strong premiere, the new K-Drama Typhoon Family continues its story this weekend. The show, starring Lee Jun-ho, follows a young man forced to grow up quickly to save his family’s business during the 1997 financial crisis. Fans are now looking ahead to the next two episodes in the series.
The release dates for the upcoming episodes are now confirmed. Episode 3 will arrive on Saturday, October 18, 2025, followed by Episode 4 on Sunday, October 19, 2025. The series airs on the Korean channel tvN at 9:10 PM KST and is available for international audiences on Netflix shortly after.
The Story So Far
Typhoon Family introduces Kang Tae-poong, played by Lee Jun-ho, a carefree and wealthy young man who has never faced real responsibility. His father, Kang Ji-yeong, is the dedicated CEO of Typhoon Trading, a company he hopes will last for 100 years. The story is set in 1997 against the backdrop of South Korea’s severe IMF financial crisis, which threatens the survival of many businesses.
The first two episodes set up a dramatic turn of events. After his father’s sudden death, Tae-poong is confronted with the reality of his family’s situation. He discovers that the company is in grave danger due to the economic collapse. In episode 2, a moment of reflection on his father’s teachings leads him to a secret safe. Using a code that symbolizes his father’s 100-year vision for the company, he finds bankbooks inside, including one with savings meant for him. This discovery sparks a significant change in him. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with Tae-poong lying on a road to block a truck that is carrying away company fabric, showing his newfound, if reckless, determination to protect his father’s legacy.
Official Release Schedule and Streaming
Typhoon Family follows a consistent weekly release pattern, with two new episodes debuting every weekend. The drama has a total of 16 episodes, and its finale is scheduled for the end of November 2025.
For viewers in South Korea, new episodes broadcast on tvN on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:10 PM KST. For audiences around the world, Netflix is the official streaming platform. New episodes become available on Netflix very quickly after they air in Korea, though the exact time may vary slightly by region. For example, viewers in India can expect to stream the new episodes at around 5:50 PM IST.
A Netflix subscription is required to watch the series. The platform offers various plans and typically provides subtitles in multiple languages and different audio options for its international viewers.
What’s Next for Kang Tae-poong?
The upcoming episodes will focus on Tae-poong’s first real challenges as he steps into his new role at Typhoon Trading. Previews suggest the company pins its hopes on a single business deal, but achieving it will not be easy. Tae-poong will have to make tough decisions and face threats from rival business partners.
His relationship with the company’s bookkeeper, Oh Mi-seon, played by Kim Min-ha, is also set to develop further. Mi-seon, who comes from a very different background and carries the weight of her own family’s struggles, has agreed to help guide Tae-poong through the complexities of the business. Their growing bond will be a key point of interest as they work together to navigate the corporate and economic turmoil.
A Successful Start
The drama has already made a strong impression. The premiere of Typhoon Family achieved impressive ratings, with its first episode scoring an average of 5.9% nationwide. This made it the highest-rated premiere for a tvN weekend drama in 2025, dominating its time slot across all channels in South Korea.
The series successfully blends comedic, emotional, and heartfelt moments, creating a story that has resonated with audiences from the start.
