tvN’s weekend drama Typhoon Trading Company closed out its run with a nationwide rating of 10.3%, topping all channels in its timeslot, including terrestrial networks, and marking the show’s highest rating to date.

In the finale, the plot to steal Dabon Tech’s cooling fan patent was exposed, while Kang Taepoong saved the company by winning the factory auction for 30 million won.

The scheme’s mastermind, Pyo Hyunjoon, was arrested on charges of embezzlement, breach of trust, and arson, and the employees of Typhoon Trading Company moved forward after enduring the IMF crisis.

The series delivered a resonant message — “If you don’t give up, you can achieve anything” — portraying the solidarity of youth and breadwinners who survived the IMF era.

The warmth and nostalgia of the 1990s, along with the strong human bonds depicted throughout, left viewers with a lasting emotional impact.
