Familyhood (2016)

A charming movie that has a ton of messages ranging from teenage pregancy, expectations of older actors/actresses, image, family. It had a great sense of humour about certain situations but was able to ramp up the drama for the more serious aspcts of the film really well. All thanks to the incredible range of Kim Hye Soo as the lead role. I love the risk they took using Kim Hyun Soo, a young actress for the role. You tend to see older, more experienced people in the roles but they went young and it paid off, making the story even more grander. She was excellent. Only 16 at the time and she pulled of the emotion and weight of the situation supremely well. And Ma Dong Seok is a G. Godbless that man.

A well crafted comedy/drama that you can watch with the family or alone.

AMAZING warm inspirational story with AMAZING music and acting - a true kdrama gem

This is of those Korean art storytelling pices that is so typical for why kdramas and kmovies are so famous -

bc it is fresh, creative, unique, warm, positive, uplifting, and generally an educational story with meaningful content and powerful messages.

The music is just outsanding, from funk for twists to classical for gloomy scenes and some high school ... kinda rappy music for the positive end.

This is an example of a kdrama masterpice and shows exactly why kdramas won all over the world.

It is humorous, deep, tragic, positive, uplifting, etc, shows a progression of character and improvement in one's life

nasty families, nasty guys, social commentary, etc etc

This is gone off Viki but you can still watch it at without spaces

cdramas never make this.... bc they are never social commentary or willing character growth or humor.....

I guess that's the feel - cdramas have the feel of the "cultural revolution" and kdramas have feel of "kicking out occupators and taking down corrupt president" somehow Korea is a lot more .... righteous.... and generous....
