It was definitely a mixed bag towards the end. At times I felt like Gil chae was self-aware and had development,…
Exactly! There was so much going on that they would press pause on certain things to focus on others (like the Qing Invasion being missing to focus on the romance in the finale).
While I liked some aspects, it was too sloppy/inconsistent to say it was great overall.
Thank you so much for this in depth review. I was just considering to watch this however, after reading I think…
I suggest giving Jang Hyuk's “Bad Papa” a try! Family centered like this but much better in my opinion.
For something else in the spy-genre realm: 100% watch “Good Casting”! Action spy comedy which is very much what Family was trying to do, but done fantastically!
If I remember correctly “My Secret Terius” has a spy plot with a family centered dynamic as well.
And I will say “Vincenzo” does a good job at balancing serious and funny stuff, which I mentioned Family fails at horribly.
