The family dynamic between mother father & daughter is cute/wonderful, but the surrounding plots (baseball, therapy, second leads, etc.) drags the show down overall. If you’re someone who skips through dramas then go ahead- you’ll have stuff to enjoy here while skipping through the rest. If you’re someone that likes to watch fully, then you may want to not start this at all.
WOWOW dramas usually take a long time to be subbed for some reason unfortunately T_TLets be patient and hope someone…
Ah that sucks! I’ve been so excited for this premiere, loved the movie & watched the c-drama adaptation as well. Even bought the book (though I’ve yet to read)!
This my first time seeing Kim Myung Soo & Lee Yoo Young act. I just seen the trailer and it looks really good…
Yes, they’re both pretty good! Myung Soo’s best is probably One More Time and Angel’s Last Mission, and Yoo Young is great in the Lies Within. I’d never expect them to be paired up with eachother but here we are. Interested to see how it will be!
This movie doesn't really follow a typical start-to-finish narrative it's moreso a “look at the journey of” these two people. Because of this some might find it boring but personally I ended up loving it- mostly because of the leads and the wonderful/sweet relationship that develops between them.
Don't be misguided by the posters or plot descriptions this movie is NOT about cheating.
I first watched this back in 2020 and still find myself thinking about it every so often. Always recommend!(Kim Ki Duk you are not missed).
I totally agree. Recently started watching because I saw my netflix is removing it next month and wow has it been dreadfully slow. Each point you made mirrors how I’ve felt while watching to a T!
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.
