The Ending!??
A Normal Family starts as a compelling Korean drama, delving into the complexities of family loyalty, morality, and difficult decisions. Based on The Dinner, the film sets up an intriguing story about two brothers and their families grappling with the fallout of a morally ambiguous incident.
While the buildup is strong, the ending feels like a letdown. After investing in the characters and their struggles, the final act feels rushed and lacks the emotional payoff the story deserves. Instead of delivering a thought-provoking or satisfying conclusion, it opts for a resolution that feels overly simplistic and out of sync with the tension that had been building.
It left me feeling frustrated and disappointed, as though the story had so much potential but didn’t quite know how to land. For all its strengths in the first half, A Normal Family stumbles in its final moments, making the journey feel less impactful in retrospect.
