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.

Such a great watch
This was refreshing. Such an interesting and amusing story. I loved each family member. I wish they had elaborated more on each individual's powers. I like this show. The humor, revenge scenes—everything was great. I can really recommend this show to anyone. Just know that some scenes are quite brutal, so don't watch if you have a weak stomach!The only thing I can really complain about is some plot holes. I understand that filling these would require more episodes, so yes, I hope we get a season 2 to fill them.
I really hope we get one. This show deserves a season 2 with many more episodes. 🙏🏻

Ending explained
Great acting and a good plot.Spoiler from hereon, ending explained.
Scene A: Child Wife controlled child husband.
Scene B: Mom told Wife that it was her plan all along.
= Child Wife and Mom schemed everything, and Child Wife told Mom she has to erase her own memories so their plan will work. Once the plan comes to fruition, she will regain the memories.
Scene 3: Child number 11 was controlled by the child wife to do exactly, well, the plan.
Conclusion: Since they were kids, child wife controlled everything.
a. Child husband cutting the ear of Number 11. Both guys were already under her control, they were testing how long her control could stay intact.
b. Her husband's father was no doubt under her control as well. This way, after the child's wife erases her memories, the "escape plan" will work without a hitch.
c. The rest is history.
Goal, or rather goals:
1. Create a real family bond. It's the reverse of terrorism and secret agent trainings where cells only have a fake family bond. Their plan was to create a real bond that no one can ever find a loophole. In other words, the perfect [sleeping] cell and operatives.
2. Teach them self-control. A wild agent is useless if they don't learn self-control. All of them need it, including the two kids. Noticed how it always revolved around self-control?
3. Test the wife's power. Her power isn't only about creating a false memory/experience, it's mind control. Can the victims resist? Her husband did not. Number 11 did not. Her self-mind control also worked so well.
4. Train the kids. They are far stronger than her and her husband, and thus far more dangerous if they don't have a family bond. This was proven with the female twin. Without a family bond, she was a ticking bomb.
5. Prove that the wife's plan "Family Matters" is actually worth it. Which, by now, we know it was worth it.

Addams Family meets The Witch: Subversion
If you're in the mood for a dark, quirky, gory, unconventional family dramedy, check out this binge worthy kdrama. It's action packed with superpowers and superb acting from the cast.LIKES:
1) Bae Doona - she is phenomenal as the deadpan awkward mother figure who is trying to look out for her family the best way she knows how. Her character reminds me of Wednesday from the Addams Family and the FL in The Witch Subversion. A bit emotionally dead, but caring at the same time but also violent.
2) Lee Su Hyun - this newcomer rocked her role. Supposedly it's her debut, but you can't tell at all. She acted well, stood out, and made herself memorable which is not easy to do. I have to say the women really shined in this drama
3) The message - Despite all the gore and violence, at the heart of it, it's a family drama with an endearing message.
4) The humor - the director/editor/writer did a good job with balancing the dark & violent with bouts of humor
5) The action/gore - The action scenes were fun and the gore made me scrunch up in disgust....soooo basically effective lol
6) The acting - the entire cast from the family to the villains all were believable
DISLIKES:
1) The ending - the last episode felt a little corny imo. Not horrible, but a little anti-climatic
2) A bit forgettable - I had binged watch 5 episodes and then watched ep 6 much later and to be honest, I had pretty much forgotten what had happened in the entire drama. All I remembered was Doona & Su Hyun's characters.
Overall, an easy binge watch that felt fresh, but familiar at the same time. I would absolutely watch season 2 and would recommend this to those of you who like shows like Wednesday, Moving, The Witch: subversion, or A shop for Killers.

Short & Violent
Family Matters follows a family as they move after the daughter gets kicked out of their previous school. As they try to get adjusted to the neighborhood, they sense that something's wrong ever since the beginning.I love dramas about family, however this has one of my least favorite tropes in that the mother, played by the wonderful Bae Doona, has a special ability. It's not really explained why or where this ability really comes from, even the exact details aren't terribly explained, but it becomes vital to the series. She is also the only character in the series who has this power. As a result, it was hard to really get immersed that she would ever be in any real danger. Due to this, I found the familial relationships and more light hearted elements to be more compelling. There are a lot of scenes that are black comedy and that's where this show shines. The entire family bounces off very well off each other from the hot and cold twins to the extremely chill grandfather.
However, ultimately this is more drama than comedy and this is where it falters. Some of the intermingling plot points are a little difficult to follow and aren't fleshed out in a satisfying manner even at the end. At just six episodes, it's hard to say that more episodes were needed because the writing is decently tight, but there is a cliffhanger at the end which is disappointing as it foreshadows the need for a season two.
I would also like to warn those viewers that there is a lot of violence in this movie, including gore. In particular, there is specifically lot of violence on women. The show does that thing where it focuses a lot on the hurt & brutality that women face but tries to balance it out by also showcasing how badass women are. It's fine technically, but just a warning for those coming into this show.

Forte e suggestivo
Bhe un finale del genere cosa porta a pensare?!!! Una seconda stagione è di obbligo!!! Parlavamo della madre e spunta fuori gli ultimi minuti del drama?!!! E dice ti ho sempre tenuta d'occhio??? WowDrama moolto crudo..era molto che non ne vedevo uno così...in alcuni punto non riuscivo a guardare 😅
Però il caso principale del drama viene chiuso e possiamo dire che questa famiglia ora è davvero una famiglia? Si, perché abbiamo esplorato un po tutti i personaggi capendo i loro traumi e problemi e insieme sono riusciti a superarli e unirsi di più..solo il nonno non mi ha soddisfatto appieno, ha fatto un po da legante per tutti ...ma le sue capacità non sono uscite fuori appieno ... i cattivi hanno avuto la loro lezione, alla fine n 11 voleva immolare n 10 ma in maniera davvero ah un termine vero e priorio non ce l ho perché era blasfemo e bleah ..la nostra protagonista principale yeong su almeno grazie a n 11 capisce davvero che cosa significa provare rabbia e dolore per le persone che ama ...nonostante questo il finale strappa anche una risata ...tornano tutti a casa completamente insanguinati dopo aver affrontato i propri avversari, il nonno che cerca di sbarazzarsi di un cadavere con l'indifferenza dei nipoti troppo stanchi per reagire ...il papà con qualche buco in più nella pancia...e il loro pensiero è? mangiare ..questa scena mi ha fatto proprio sorridere anche perché pensavo che il papà sarebbe morto!!! Tutte quelle coltellate!!! E invece....per finire la chiamata della madre/generale dell'istituto in cui sono cresciuti... e tutto torna sospeso... ci sarà una seconda parte?? Dove l'affronteranno come una vera famiglia nel pieno delle sue capacità??
Speriamo!!
Per me voto 7.5 mi è piaciuto il tutto ma certe tematiche e certe scene oltre i miei limiti 😅 forse squid Game è meno macabro 😂
