Big Disappointment*
*I finished the 6th episode and the huge disappointment is that it ended so soon. If ever I appreciated the Korean tendency for 16 full hour episodes it's this one. The closing scene left open a sequel, but I really wanted to binge another 10 hours now.The show is 'quirky' meaning you're going to love it, or hate it depending on your susceptibility to this particular brand of quirk and you'll know before the end of first episode whether it's for you or not.
Only six episodes are promised, so the hope is there will be more.
Bae Doo Na effortlessly does meek and menacing and comedic.
Lee Su Hyun is great in her first outing.

THE UNHINHED HEROES IN A DARK WORLD!!!
Family Matters is a thrilling drama that truly captivates with its unique premise. The story revolves around a group of individuals with supernatural powers who escape from a special training institution, cleverly disguising themselves as a family to evade both the institution's pursuers and the dangerous criminals they encounter along the way. The storytelling is dark yet exciting, ensuring that viewers are engaged from start to finish.One of the standout features of the show is its narrative structure, which alternates between present events and flashbacks that delve into the characters' backstories. This approach adds significant depth to the plot. While the series does include violent scenes that may be triggering for some, these moments enhance the intensity of the story and keep the stakes high. The characters themselves are fascinating; each member of this unconventional family is delightfully unhinged, making them a joy to watch. The mother exudes a calm yet dangerous presence, while the father provides much-needed support and stability. The grandfather adds comic relief, wrapped in mystery, and the children bring an exciting dynamic: the boy is cheerful and bubbly with an unexpected violent streak, while the girl is a badass who takes pleasure in punishing those who deserve it.
I absolutely love the dark comedy woven throughout the series. The way they insert comic moments into serious and deep scenes often catches you off guard, making you laugh when you least expect it. The comic timing of the characters feels natural, lightening the mood even during intense moments. Family Matters carefully incorporates action, mystery, suspense, comedy, and even fantasy, delivering just enough twists to keep you engaged without feeling overwhelmed. My only wish is that the series could have been longer; there’s so much potential for further exploration of these already interesting characters and their development. I would love to see how they continue to punish the bad guys through their unhinged methods.
The final episode of "Family Matters" was truly one of the best I've seen. It was packed with emotion and excitement, yet it didn't feel like it was rushing to an end. The acting was top-notch, with every character shining in their roles, making the story even more engaging. The action and tension kept me on the edge of my seat, and everything felt so wholesome.
This blend of dark themes with genuine familial bonds makes the show a compelling watch, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling yet emotional experience.
What I loved most was how the finale still leaves room for hope of a new season. If they decide to make one, I will definitely tune in because this has been one of the best and most unexpected K-dramas for me this year. I cherished every moment of it, and I'm genuinely sad that it was short-lived. Overall, "Family Matters" has left a lasting impression, and I can't recommend it enough!

12 More Episodes Of This Family Please..
Family Matters?? No.. It’s Bloody Matters..Family Matters follows a hilariously mismatched family with superpowers/abilities trying to blend into society.. They are unhinged, chaotic and utterly unpredictable.. But somehow they are perfect for each other.. Literally the most unhinged family ever.. It is an action mystery thriller with a unique concept and dark comedy that really hits the spot.. They were so funny without even trying.. And the cast?? they were absolutely perfect..
The twins?? They absolutely nailed their roles.. The way they casually walked into their grandpa dragging a body and gave no absolute care about it.. It was an oddly brilliant scene..
Even the climax.. All of them sitting in one frame.. The mother with a hole in her hand.. Father with multiple holes in his stomach and a missing ear.. Grandpa with a hole in his leg.. And the twins?? Bloody after beating up a couple of punks.. Perfection..
My only gripe?? The background score.. This show deserved way better music..
The ending made it clear that season 2 is a must.. With that revelation and all it is obvious that we barely scratched the surface.. But since its a COUPANG TV original I dont know what to expect..
With all the theories going around.. My view is that its true that Family Matters is Yeong Su's plan.. It is clear that she manipulated her husband and planted the idea of " Chulsu will do anything to protect Yeong Su " in his mind.. This was revealed after the fight with the pastor.. So yeah she might have started it all but got too much involved and forgot her actual purpose.. There is plenty to explore and another season is definitely needed..
Overall.. Family Matters is a wild ride.. Gripping storyline and standout performances left me craving for more.. Here’s hoping season 2 delivers even bigger surprises..

I LOVEEEEE THIS SHOW!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do not miss this show, it's sooooo good!!!I love the dark humor and the story is just really refreshing.
The whole casts acting is amazing and each character is written beautifully. To be honest, I have never come across such a unique cast of characters in 1 show before in a kdrama. The way each character reacts catches me offguard. That's the best part.
I think what I found really refreshing is the dynamic of the twins.
The boy looks soft but is a complete psycho genius. Like Lomon really nailed the psycho pookie look. His smile when he enjoys watching torture is really cute. 🤣❤️
The girl looks rough but is a big softie inside. The thing is, she's actually the most normal one in the family and it is the scariest part. I love her!!!
Honestly, I did not expect it but the girl twin played by Lee Su Hyun... I think I have the biggest crush on her. She is so so cool and absolutely GORGEOUS.
I wish we can have Lee Su Hyun as a female lead in more dramas. Her features are so distinct and refreshing. I actually started watching this drama because of her reels on IG. Her visuals just got me very curious.
The parents and grandfather also are so crazy and loveable. I love this family dynamic.
This drama is one where I just feel like I NEED MOREEEE, the episodes are long and because the drama is so interesting, I feel just goes by fast. I am looking forward to future episodes and hopefully season 2. This is the BEST dark kdrama drama in 2024.

This show is an absolute blast!!! it's dark, gory, suspenseful, thrilling and absolutely hilarious.Seriously this show had no business being thia funny!! It's the kind of show that grabs your attention from the very first scene and just keeps getting better and better by the second.
I don't understand why it's not more popular really, we need to get more people to watch this it's gem that needs to get more recognition.
I understand this level of dark comedy is not for everyone, but if you do like the of quirky dark, gory, mysterious type shows you will love this one so give it a chance an recommend to your friends.

If you are in doubt to give this drama a chance DONTT!!! You will love it
3/6 episodes are out and mahn the series has all my attention...If you liked drams like Atypical family, moving etc you will like this one gor sure.The gifted people storyline is not new but the execution is definitely interesting the way they do not give us any idea of the gifts of the characters is new, usually kdramas introduce the gifts of characters early on in every shows.This drama is definitely underrated I don't get why it is not getting the attention it truly deserves.Do give it a chance you will not regret it:):)

NOT ENOUGH
Have you ever eaten something so delicious that when you crave more, you realize it’s all gone? That’s exactly how I felt after finishing this drama.The drama Family Matters has only six episodes, and I believe it would have been better if it had 12 episodes. Six episodes might not be enough to leave a lasting impression on some viewers.
My Rating: 8.0

I loved it?
I can't remember the last time I was so hooked by a story from the very beginning! It's a bit like the moving series, as it has some extraordinary abilities. The performances are really good, and I think it would have been even better if there were more than six episodes. This story has so much potential, and I'm really looking forward to season two!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Blood and gore meet sitcom shenanigans
Absolute 10/10 for me.Bae Doona can never disappoint. I loved the family dynamics, the behavioral parallels between the family members, and the black comedy. It's surprising that this show is Lee Suhyun's (Baek Jiwoo) debut role considering how well she performed.
The various relationship developments were my favourite part of this show. The level of gore was unexpected but not unwelcome. This show truly has some of the most positively hateful villains.
Looking forward to season 2.
