21st Century Family (2012)

I'll start off by saying this, be it a bad or a good day, this drama will not fail to make you laugh! I watched it in one go and I'm glad they went with eight episodes. It was light and refreshing. I know this was supposedly a remake of Modern Family as well.

Story:
5/10 - The story was actually nothing special. It was funny and the characters were even more hilarious, but I have to say that it didn't stand out one bit. It's basically about a family and its many internal struggles. The drama touches upon a lot of topics - mental illnesses, weight problems, an old couple's struggles, puberty etc.

Acting:
9/10 - The acting was great. All of them did a phenomenal job. The reason I didn't give it 10 however, is because one of the actresses annoyed me way too much. I won't spoil, but if you listen to the way she speaks, you'll know.

Music:
7/10 - There really wasn't a lot of music and the two songs that were there, were okay. I gave it a seven because the one Seulbi sings is actually quite the song.

Rewatch Value:
8/10 - I'm going to be honest and say that I was up late and that it was the reason why I decided to watch it. By the end of it, the drama did get a little repetitive, hence the 8.

Overall:
7.5/10 - It's worth watching. The characters are fun and the story, heart warming. If you're having a bad day, this is a good pick!

"Family"

It might seems like a promising sitcom at first glance but, in reality, there were just too many problems with it. Its runtime seems short at 8 episodes as if they had to cut it short for one reason or another. The cast were great with plenty of different personalities to spin all kinds of scenarios, as well as the setting and the premise, however, it failed in creating enjoyable dynamics for a decent worthwhile sitcom. The storylines were bad and the jokes/bits they tried to spin out of these storylines didn't land well 9 out of 10 times. Kim Seul Gi was a decent choice to play that character.
