Korean Drama "My Unfamiliar Family" Review

Hai!!!

I’m back guys, with another Korean drama review hehehe

I just finished watching “My Unfamiliar Family”

SYNOPSIS

Just like what’s written in the title, this drama is all about family. The main character is a family consist of Dad, Mom, and 3 children. And just like the title also, this family is all unfamiliar with each other. As they grew older, they start to living their own live, and they realize that they actually know nothing about they own “so called” family.

 

REVIEW

Honestly, I had a pretty high expectation before I watched this drama. Firstly, this is my favorite genre, and the title is also interesting

And…

This drama got me hooked from the first episode wkwk

 

The plot and storyline in this drama is super solid, and all of the actors are excellent. They look so comfortable with each other they look like a real family :)

This drama kind of make it look like you know all of the characters personally. To the point that you can understand all of their actions and response toward problem, or even you can figure out what they think just by looking at their eyes

Every single character here has their own stories, and the portion for that is actually pretty fair for me.

The story is also flowing naturally every episode, it’s like we’ve been following this characters for years (though actually this drama is just takes our two months wkwk)

 

This drama has five main characters

Dad, who’s stubborn as a rock but willing to do and sacrifice anything for his family

Mom, who’s awkward and timid but always wants the best for her family

Eun Joo, the first born daughter who’s straightforward and loves to lecture her little brother and sister but actually a whole softie inside whose care the most about her family

Eun Hee, the middle child, a literal sunshine whose always full of smile and has a big dream

Ji Woo, the innocent youngest who loves his family more than anything

 

I really love how this drama always gives us perspective from the five characters above whenever there is a problem in the family, so we can understand how’s everyone feeling

And I also love that there are three children, so we have perspective from the oldest, the youngest and the middle child

All of the character’s response is also relatable, and that makes this drama more humane

One little thing that caused all of the problem in this family is communication

This family is just lack communication with each other even though they live in the same house, and that sparks a lot of misunderstanding

And after the misunderstanding happen, it still didn’t make them talk it out. Instead they just let it buried deep inside their own heart and created scars

 

For example, the problem between Mom and Dad

They have a lot of misunderstanding with each other. And even though it’s all seems petty, it can happen

Both of them has a big ego and difficulty to express themselves

So, whenever they have a small problem they just let it be and not resolving it. So in the end it only torture them both

 

Even though it’s a family themed drama, it’s not a Korean drama without a little bit romance here and there, right?

This drama also has some cute couple

My favorites are Eun Hee + Chan Hyuk and Eun Joo + Tae Hyung

Eun Hee + Chan Hyuk is already so comfortable and sweet with each other even before they’re officially a couple

But who doesn’t love Eun Hee? She’s the sweetest

She’s really full of smile and a mood maker for everyone around her, she’s even not affected by harsh words thrown by her sister hihihi

I love her ^ ^

I really like the scene where she got called as someone who’s don’t have a certain character by her coworkers. It’s because she seems to always adapt her character based on who she interacts with, and she’s also look like she doesn’t have any ambition or real passion in anything

And then Eun Hee answers with, “My goal is to have a life without a goal”

It’s just so funny and remarkable

(Wait, why did I end up talking about Eun Hee’s character? Hehe)

 

The second couple is Eun Joo + Tae Hyung

Ok, I understand, gay can be one reason for divorce

But but… they suit each other

Especially when they’re just talking with each other

Tae Hyung who’s usually so stiff and fierce, suddenly smiles a lot and talks with the softest voice when he’s with Eun Joo. And I really can’t stand how he looks at her (Are you sure you’re gay dude? Hehe)

And there’s also Eun Joo who doesn’t usually talk a lot with people, but she suddenly talks and laugh a lot with Tae Hyung. It’s actually so cute ^ ^

Haaaah… it’s a shame about this two

 

Overall, I’m so super satisfied

This drama has nothing to be criticized over

I recommended this drama for anyone who’s in need of a family drama that can make you laugh, angry, and cry

And also for anyone who’s need another perspective for your own family problem? Maybe this drama can give you some inspiration :)
