TYPHOON FAMILY
TYPHOON TRADING
What on earth?
What?
Mr. Kang?
Mr. Kang.
Mr. Kang!
-Oh, my gosh! -My goodness!
You scared me!
-Are you okay? -Who are you?
Hello.
Mom, I can't turn my neck! I'm paralyzed!
-What? -My neck!
-Mom! Help me! -What do we do?
You're lying on your side, Mr. Kang.
You're on your side.
You're not paralyzed. He's fine. Calm down.
He's all right. Please calm down.
He's fine.
You scared me.
Why are you here?
Why are you here instead of at your home?
-Hello. -Good morning.
-This is my mom. -Hello.
Good morning.
What are you two doing here?
-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm okay.
Are you all right?
I'm wearing it backwards.
I'm telling you, we're okay, Ms. Oh.
We're okay.
-Do you have someplace to stay? -No.
I'll find one.
-What about money? -I don't have any.
Wait, I do. Remember the fabric we sold?
-Mr. Kang. -Yes?
If you touch that, it's embezzlement. Don't say that.
Why? I'm the one who sold it.
Shall we go, then?
Right.
-Ms. Oh, right? -Yes.
You're smart, just like my husband said.
-We won't cause any trouble. Thank you. -Yes, of course.
Mom.
Stop acting tough and just come along.
-Are you done with that? -Yes.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Come along.
Throw it gently, okay? Good.
We're almost there.
She said that several times.
-We're almost there. -Okay.
-It's right up ahead. -Are you okay?
-We're nearly there. -All right.
Is this the place?
Maybe not.
Right this way.
Watch your step. Please come in.
I can't believe there are still houses like this around.
That scared me.
This is my little brother. Say hello, Beom.
Hello, I'm Oh Beom from Changjeon Elementary School.
I'm student number 47 in the first grade, Class 11.
-I see. -Who is it?
This is my younger sister.
-Just go. -What's going on?
-Is he your secret lover? -How vulgar…
-No, absolutely not. -No, we're not like that.
Do you know how to spin a top?
-Can you make it jump? Attack? -Attack what?
Don't eat that booger.
Is someone here?
Are you Gap-sik's father?
My dear!
My goodness.
He's not Gap-sik's father.
Who's Gap-sik's father, anyway?
Oh Gap-sik is our dad.
You're finally home. Is the war finally over?
-The war? -Do you know how long I've waited for you?
-Gap-sik has grown so much. -Grandma.
Don't be ridiculous, Grandma. They don't look anything alike.
You should go back inside, Grandma. I'll make you scorched rice.
-Scorched rice. -Sounds good.
I'll make you some. Get some rest.
-Animal Quiz Show is on. -Go on in.
We have an empty room over there by the door.
You said you were going to let me have that room!
You said you didn't want to pay for coal!
Please come inside.
-The entrance is a bit-- -I'm late again!
After all that complaining about coal prices…
Then tell them to pay for the coal!
Is this a good idea?
I'm confused.
I thought they didn't close down, but no one's here.
I mean…
Aside from the hat, I don't look so bad.
Did you only pack clothes? The closet is about to collapse.
-You said to pack the pricey stuff. -They don't even fit inside.
You take after me in things like this too.
They even have a TV here.
I can't believe they still have TVs like this.
Why isn't it working?
-Let me try. -What do I do?
Watch out.
-Be careful with your hand. -…at 29.5%.
It's working.
Pusan Port, the shining beacon of Korea's export industry.
Even in the piercing wind, sweat rolls down the faces of export workers.
At least the blankets here are clean.
They say sleeping on the floor like this
is better for your back than using a bed.
You're right.
-I'm finally able to lie down in peace. -Seriously.
-It's nice. -It's really nice.
-I feel so much better now. -Me too.
But it looks like they don't have any parents.
-Grandma? -Yes?
Why did you call that guy your husband?
They said my husband was
taken during the war and died in battle.
I was 22 years old at the time.
He was 23 years old, and my Gap-sik was four years old.
All three of us were really young.
My sweet grandson. You must be happy to meet your dad.
-So, that guy is my dad. -Yes.
Then who's the lady?
Your mom wasn't good with housework.
That's why I've been taking care of this family until now.
That means
I have both a mom and a dad now.
The wind feels cold.
MOMO'S PUB
Are you serious right now?
Why do I have to wear it? I can just hold it.
You need to wear it so it can stand out.
This is what we're paying you for.
You can get lost if you don't want to.
But you'll have to compensate us.
Fine.
Could've saved me the trouble.
MOMO'S PUB
You win! Congratulations.
-Here's your prize. -I won fifth place?
Tissues? That's it?
Hold on a minute. Let me try again.
Sorry, but you only get one chance.
You can if you order another bottle of soju.
One more bottle of soju! You happy now?
How come he gets to touch?
-Let me try too. -You can't touch this.
-You use this to enter the event. -Come on.
-This is…
-Let me spin it! -Oh, my goodness. Stop it!
Stop right there!
Please sit. Take a seat.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Can I take that roulette for a minute?
Sure.
Thank you.
Okay, let's continue with the event!
Spin it! Go ahead!
-Spin it. -Come on, spin it.
Spin it!
That's third place!
You won third place. Here's your prize.
We have something really amazing left.
I found it. Here.
One, two, three.
You bastards. How dare you touch a woman like that?
Come here, you.
If you get caught doing this again, you're dead meat.
-Got it? -Yes.
I ought to…
Hey.
Grab this bastard.
Do something!
You bastard!
You little…
Tae kwon do!
Is she crying?
That stings.
-Please be gentle. -You crybaby.
Why did you get involved when you can't even fight?
How could I just ignore that?
Perverts who grope women need to be taught a lesson.
Guys like that are everywhere.
I'm not like that. I can't stand that kind of stuff.
I won't even get paid today because of you.
I'm sorry about that. I'll pay you back sometime.
I grilled this pollack. It's good, right?
Woman No. 1.
What?
I'm Man No. 2, Wang Nam-mo.
Call me "Wang," as in king.
-From Studio I Love You-- -How have you been?
I didn't know you worked here.
I fry the chicken.
What a small world.
BANK TRANSFER FORM
RECIPIENT: SHOE PARK SENDER: TYPHOON TRADING
Hello.
Here you go.
-Did you transfer the money to Shoe Park? -Yes.
What's that?
This is…
Here, I printed some safety-related documents.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT DEMAND
-I've already received these. -What?
That's just basic for a trader.
If I'd known, we would've just gone to the market instead.
-The market? -Yes.
There's a specialty shoe store in Dongdaemun,
so I thought I'd take a look for market research.
That's a good idea.
I looked into it,
and safety shoes aren't just worn on construction sites.
They're used in manufacturing, chemical plants,
and places like disaster sites too.
That's great. We should go check it out sometime.
-It's slippery, so be careful. -Right back at you.
-What happened? -What?
-Let's go back to-- -Yes, before rush hour begins.
I had no idea you already printed these.
Oh, my.
Hey, Beom. Why aren't you in school?
-I woke up late. -What do you mean you woke up late?
Hurry up and get ready so you can go to school.
-What are you doing? -Hey.
Dear.
Me?
-Where's my son? -He's not your son.
I'm hungry. Go cook something.
Me?
Excuse me, miss.
Your brother and grandmother need something.
Just leave them. They'll figure it out.
What do you mean?
How will they do it?
Whatever.
I'm not part of their family.
Come here, doggy.
How do you want your coffee?
-Cream and sugar? -I'll do it.
-No, I'll do it. -No.
No, step back.
How do you want it?
Two spoons of sugar and cream, please.
Wait, what are you doing?
What are you doing? The order is coffee, sugar, and cream.
-It's coffee, cream, and sugar. -No, we've always done it this way.
Look.
Coffee.
Sugar.
Add cream like this.
That's my hand, by the way.
I was just showing you how we usually make it.
Like that?
-The water's boiling! -I'll get it!
You'll burn yourself.
That thing is really hot.
It's boiling.
-You can't touch it with your bare hands. -Right.
-Go sit down. I'll bring it. -Okay, thanks.
How about we visit construction companies and project sites around Seoul?
-I'm sorting the clients. -Sounds good.
We'll be on the road a lot.
You know how important business etiquette is for traders, right?
I did a bit of studying.
I came prepared too, of course.
Here's how to present a business card.
Watch carefully.
The visitor offers it first.
They hand it with both hands, so the name is visible.
Hello, I'm Kang Tae-poong from Typhoon Trading.
Nice job. Well done.
But apparently handshakes are the opposite.
It's polite for the higher-ranking person to offer first.
-Okay, let's try it. -Okay.
Hello, I'm Oh Mi-seon from Typhoon Trading.
The weather's nice today.
Who…
Who talks about the weather?
Talking about the weather is an icebreaker.
That would make things even more awkward.
Isn't it better to ask something like if they have eaten?
-They could ask if the ride was okay. -Okay, then.
Try acting like the high-ranking person and ask about my meal.
Hey, there.
I'm Kang Tae-poong from Typhoon Trading.
Have you eaten?
Wasn't the road slippery at all?
Which company are you from again?
-Where is it? -It's Typhoon Trading.
EPISODE 5 HEAVEN, WHERE WE ARE
That almost started a fire.
I'll also
take two spoons of sugar and cream.
She must've been exhausted.
You're here.
You should've gone home.
-I think Ms. Oh is really tired. -What?
-What the heck?! -Oh, my gosh.
You made the main character wait.
Mr. Bae?
You know…
I wanted to live an unremarkable life, Tae-soo.
It's Tae-poong.
What's that sound?
Did you turn on the computer, Mr. Bae?
As expected of Romi… I mean, Ms. Oh.
You follow my every move.
She's a senior staff now.
-Why are you here? -My feet just led me here.
CUSTOMS BROKER EXAM
Customs Broker?
-You want to study here? -No, I'll study at a prep school.
-This place is for rest and recharging. -Why?
Mr. Kang said we were family.
You came to use the computer, right?
You're asking too many questions today, Ms. Oh.
That's all for today.
-You'd better pay for electricity. -But we're family.
No, we're not. And bring your own toilet paper.
This is abuse!
Mr. Kang, please say something. This isn't right.
What is this?
Why do you have this menu?
When did you sneak a look?
No, I…
I know you're interested in me.
-But you can't go through someone's bag-- -We worked hard to collect this.
-You can't just take it for yourself. -Give it back.
What else did you take?
-Let me see your bag. -Hey!
-Did you take-- -Mr. Kang!
-Come on, Ms. Oh. -Seriously?
-Make your own coffee too. -Coffee?
-Fine, I won't drink it. -We don't have enough for you.
-Are you leaving already? -I'm sorry.
Everything's ready. You should eat before you go.
Sorry, I need to catch the train. You go ahead.
Tae-poong,
good luck at work today.
Don't rush around, okay?
I won't.
It's my first day bringing in the goods I signed for.
I already showed it to over ten places, and some of them showed interest.
I did such a great job raising my son.
My son.
After I receive all the items today, we'll have a delicious dinner.
We were supposed to go to Nam-mo's chicken place.
I almost forgot.
Then…
Let's go eat steak once I sell all the safety shoes.
That sounds wonderful.
And, Mom…
I promise I'll get it back.
I'll get our home back no matter what.
What's this?
-It's fried eggs. -It looks yummy.
-Can I have it? -No.
It's gone cold. I'll make you a new one.
Come on.
You can head inside over there, and feel free to look around.
Please look this over and sign it.
DATE OF RECEIPT, ITEM AND QUANTITY
-The products are coming from Pusan? -Yes.
That's going to take a long time.
REPRESENTATIVE: OH MI-SEON
I'm going to wait here.
-Thank you. -No problem.
-Is this the place? -Yes.
Isn't it great?
This way.
What is it? Why are you just standing there?
Wait. They were here before.
Look. This place is completely empty!
There's no electricity, either.
All the items were here.
I knew it smelled fishy. We've been scammed.
-I told you so! -It was here.
-When did they switch it? -Hold on.
Wait a minute.
Kang Tae-poong!
Mr. Park!
Open the door, Mr. Park!
Kang Tae-poong!
You'll hurt yourself!
Gosh.
Mr. Park!
-There's no way he's here. He ran away. -He has to be here.
He's not here!
Mr. Park!
I'm sorry…
I'm so sorry.
-What… -I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I'm sorry.
If you give me just a little more time,
I swear I'll fix everything.
-Please forgive me. -Hey, Mr. Park.
Did you borrow money from thugs?
-Oh, my. -I can already tell.
They're going to ruin another small-time company.
You put Tae-poong's items up as collateral and sold them all off.
And now you've even lost that too.
Yes, you could say that.
Were you scamming me then?
I wasn't scamming you…
I was just unlucky.
Do you have any idea what that money meant?
I'm so sorry.
Why me?
Tell me.
Why are you doing this to me?!
Why? Seriously!
I honestly took your money to pay off an urgent interest bill,
but I was going to make it up to you once things improved.
And?
Since when did life go according to plan?
In the meantime, the interest…
How did it pile on so fast?
Forget it.
Forget about your debts and all that.
What about my money?
Where's my money?
You took my down payment.
That money is the only reason I'm still alive.
Damn it.
Is there seriously nothing left at all? Really?
Damn it!
There's absolutely nothing left?
Do you have a plan?
All the factories, shops, and banks
took everything.
There's no stock left at all.
I think
this will only end if I die.
How dare you talk about dying?!
Do you know who has to pay your debt if you die?
You can
hit me too if you want.
This bastard has completely lost his mind.
Okay, fine. Come here.
Come here, you bastard!
Gosh.
This is so frustrating.
Hey! Tae-poong!
-Where are you going? -I'm going to report him to the police.
That's not going to fix anything. He doesn't even have electricity.
My goodness. Hold on. Let me make a few calls.
Why did you take that?
Just so I'd have something.
This isn't worth much.
PATENT CERTIFICATE
You even got the patents. What are we going to do now?
You should call Mi-seon.
Never mind, I'll do it.
-Are you okay? -Yes, of course.
I'm fine.
You're doing your best as the boss.
BUSINESS ENGLISH CONVERSATION HANDBOOK
TELL THEM THE QUALITY WILL BE DIFFERENT
CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES
Here's your beer, ma'am.
Oh, my gosh!
-What happened to your face? -I got drunk and fell.
-Be careful. -Thank you.
Be careful with that.
-One spicy sea snail salad, please. -Coming right up.
You didn't have to bring anything.
Thank you.
You're amazing, Ms. Kim.
How did you manage to start a business right away?
Not at all. I was scared, so I opened up right next to the bank.
They're my previous clients.
-But still… -Hello, Ms. Kim.
Welcome, you can sit over there.
-A bottle of soju, please. -Coming right up.
-Here you go. -Can we get more of this?
-You can get it yourself. -Please.
My goodness.
-Can I see the menu, please? -Where's the menu, Nam-mo?
-It's over there. -Okay.
Tae-poong.
What are you doing here? You should've called.
I waited for you.
I'm sorry. The timing wasn't ideal.
You must've waited long.
-What's this? Fried chicken? -Yes, it's for Beom.
-We can't be the only ones who eat it. -Good idea.
This looks delicious.
What's wrong?
-Did something happen? -No.
Nothing happened. I'm just kind of tired.
Okay.
I'd be tired too, if I were you.
Your mother didn't even realize the house was being taken away,
and she's living off her son at her age.
Don't say that, Mom.
But, son,
don't try too hard.
As long as I have you, the whole world feels like home to me.
And…
I may be a good-for-nothing mom, but you still have me.
I won't ever let you go hungry.
What I regret most in my life is…
that I never once told…
your father he could
-lean on me. -Come on.
Mom.
It's okay.
I'm fine. I promise.
-Tae-poong. -Yes?
You can lean on me.
You can lean on me when things become too tough.
Okay?
-Mom. -Yes?
I'm having such a hard time.
It's been so hard.
My goods are gone.
They're gone,
and all my money's gone too.
I don't even know where to start or what to do.
I was…
I was so scared because of that.
It's okay.
It's okay, sweetie.
That's okay.
It's okay, sweetie.
CLEARANCE SALE
BELLUA
Hello.
-How have you been? -How did you know I was here?
You told me you worked here that day.
I've never seen a woman drink so much beer.
-What do you want? -I'm here to repay you.
-Forget it. Go back to your fried chicken. -Just a minute.
Today's my day off, so I don't have to fry any chicken.
It's cold today, isn't it?
Here you go.
It's cold. Take this.
I don't want it.
Woman No. 1, Oh Mi-ho.
-Seriously? -It's really cold.
Isn't it warm?
Stop following me.
Sorry, he's not here yet.
One moment. He just got home.
Welcome back.
Good night.
You got a call from Pusan.
-Pusan? -Yes.
-Hello, Ms. Jung? -Yes, it's me.
I found out who took the goods.
You did?
-Where is it? -He's this loan shark I know.
It's best not to do business with him if you can help it.
Anyway, I explained your situation
and told him 500 pairs belonged to you.
He'll return them if you bring another five million won.
So, who exactly
has them?
How can they take someone else's stuff and then ask for money?
Those goods are mine.
Listen, half of it is already useless and done with.
If you don't want to do it, you don't have to.
No, I--
Hello? This is Mi-seon, Ms. Jung.
-How much did you say he wants? -Five million won.
Five million won…
We'll call back once we get the money.
Okay.
Thank you. Good night.
Don't worry about it, Ms. Oh. We have no money.
I'll handle it.
What will you do?
I'll go get the goods in person.
You know what loan sharks are, right?
And they might have priority of claims.

The deputy branch manager got so pissed I didn't have this.
No one's asking for my name.
The job's not bad, though.
-Really? -I get break time and a nice meal.
That's a relief.
And I was told I'm good at my job.
I'm a candidate for employee of the month.
-Really? -Yes.
Do you want anything, Beom?
Wipe your mouth.

Yes, thank you.

Can I get a yo-yo, Mi-seon?
-Okay. -All right!
Oh, my.
Who are all these people that keep messing up?
Son.
What do you think failure is?
Why, that…
Something like the father of success?
Failure is money.
Someone needs to lose 100 won for 100 won to be available.
That's why failure is a wonderful thing for people like us.
These are safety shoes.
Safety shoes?
-I need you to go to Pusan. -Pusan?
I want you to fill this.
Huh?
PYO MERCHANT MARINE TYPHOON TRADING
-Weren't you busy today? -I'm free now.
-Why are you still here? -I had some stuff to organize.
And I'm going to Pusan tomorrow.
Mr. Kang.
Did you get the money?
I tried asking a few places. It's not easy, but I'll keep trying.
What's this?
What's this money?
It's the account that you sent me by mail.
-I added just a little bit more. -I can't accept this.
What's wrong with everyone?
My dad wanted you to have that.
I know. I appreciate the thought behind it.
But…
This money really doesn't belong to me.
I was thinking of returning it.
Still, this doesn't feel right. I'll figure it out.
If I can't, we can try something else.
Absolutely not.
Go and get our goods back.
Get them and we can sell them for a bit more.
We can do this.
Stand tall. It's not the end of the world.
Kang Tae-poong.
The loan shark who took your goods is Ryu Hui-gyu.
Like I said last time, that bastard isn't easy to deal with.
He's ruthless.
So just don't say a word, give him the money and get the goods.
That's it.
Got it?
Got it.
I feel bad about what you went through, so I'll help you up to this point.
Understood?
-Yes. -Let's go.
It's been a while.
Not even a hello?
What are you doing?
Give me a light.
You're taking on punks from Seoul now?
I heard you had grown,
but you're just the same as ever.
You shouldn't mess with outsiders.
Give it to him.
We'll give it to you, but only after we get ours.
The goods?
Follow me.
Move it. Hurry it up.
Yes, sir!
We'll finish early if you guys hurry up.
-You left out 500 of them, right? -Yes, sir.
-Leave out 500. -So 500?
If we leave out 500, it'll be 6,500.
Let's just round it off to 30 million won.
Look, it's Typhoon Trading!
-Did you catch on? -Wait a minute.
Hold on. Manager Ha!
What do you mean?
Why are you leaving some of the goods?
Tae-poong.
This is good, but too spicy.
Manager Ha, I can't eat it anymore.
Let's keep moving.
Hey.
Are you a gangster now?
Isn't it better to be poor than a gangster?
Have you lost your mind?
Hey. Do you seriously think we're equals just because I came here?
You got any money? Or connections?
Please stop!
-Bring it on! -No, don't.
Bring it.
Let's keep moving, guys.
Let's get a move on.
-That bum… -Who are you calling a bum?
Let's calm down, everyone.
-You jerk. -Just leave it.
-You're nothing but a gangster. -Bastard.
-Stop. -Watch your tongue!
What the heck is this?
Get this moving, now!
Mister.
Are you okay?
You can't take a nap here.
It's freezing in here, mister.
-Is this fun to you? -Yes. It's a lot of fun.
Relax, you bastard.
I'll kill you if you get in my way.
SAFETY SHOES PERFORMANCE TESTING METHODS
What's taking him so long?
Take this.
I can't give this money to these people.
It's worth more than that.
-What are you doing? -Tae-poong.
-You can't do this. -You should go, Ms. Jung.
Put your feet down.
I said, put your feet down!
Let's go.
Listen to me.
What good is looking at the ledger?
You can't even sell an item.
-How much does that guy owe you? -Why do you want to know?
It's 50 million won.
-It's 70 million won now with interest. -Make it 100 million.
I'll sell 7,000 safety shoes and give you 100 million won.
Thirty million won for a dump sale?
If you're clueless, even a diamond is just a rock.
Is that so?
It's a great offer,
