Family (2023)

A simple fun show about a family

I came into the show, knowing that it would be a silly little slice of life family drama with the added element of a spy thriller -and that is exactly what I got. I see that the other reviews have called the character interaction is a bit cringe and silly, but that is precisely what I liked about the show. I didn’t go into expecting the most amazing acting and writing, but I still enjoyed what I got. I actually quite liked the spy stuff and in particular I thought the actress for Ms Oh was amazing! I also wanted to appreciate how they handled the foreigners and the many languages spoken! Often I find in kdramas that foreigners are always handled a bit odd especially when you can tell they’re white but you can tell they speak Korean better than they can speak English but I didn’t get that here! Personally I loved the backstory between the husband and wife, and even though I thought the child was a tad annoying at times, I still thought she was adorable and I laughed at her storyline. The only aspect of the show I didn’t care about was the Grandfathers storyline especially since it didn’t have a pay off. Oh and warning it does end on somewhat of a cliffhanger but even if it doesn’t get a season two idk it’s such a small thing that I can pretend it didn’t happen 😌

I had a hard time finishing this series! Apart from the very very cute kids, the show is a lame Mr. and Mrs. Smith with a bunch of plot holes and loose ends. It would have been more interesting to see the family and their interaction since it's a comedy afterall! Why complicate things when you don't want to explain anything in the end. The couple didn't have any proper talk among each other after they discovered the truth about one another. I'd rather watch more Minseo and Boseok! It would have been fun to watch that rather feeling that it was a task to be done with.
