As Graceful everything was, it still had flaws
Graceful Family was something I watched after it was the only one left in my watchlist, and Im not even dissapointed.
As someone picky with dramas, its not dissapointing. But it isnt really something iconic or extravegant too.
The plot was half what carried the story, it had decent plot twists and mysteries to carry out the whole 16 EP drama. Although it lacked with emphasis at some mysteries and aspects, either or neither explaining some of the mysteries (this in my opinion, was either the mystery didnt really make sense or it was just ???), it was still easy to overlook with the character writing.
Its one of the best aspects of this show. No character is useless/out of the blue wether actually contributing to the plot or not. The Main Character, Mo Seokhee was one of the best MC ever. She wasnt tHat kind of badass character that pulls everyones hair that already got clichè, but rather a strong and independent one while in keeping her feminine side.
Last thing about the story, it had its share of empty scenes. The final twist wasnt really essential to the plot, and rather felt forced (since it was revealed at the finale). I really wished it had more explanations of the antagonist's character and actual ambitions. Maybe a 17th episode could have been done as finale, because despite the action-packed and yet somehow empty movie length finale, it wasnt enough to cover all.
Another backbone of the drama was the acting. I never thought of Im Soo Hyang as someone to portray this kind of character, but she indeed suprised me. She slayed and gave justice to the character, it was shaped and modeled for her ngl. Lee Jang woo's portrayal of Heo Yun do was somehow oKay and justified, but I feel like more effort could have been done. They had chemistry somehow, at least thats something I like.
The other sub-character's and actors were fine too, to an extent.
The OSTs and BGMs wasnt something really commendable, although it was fine. I do appreciate the violin BGM during intense scenes cause that was a really unique and good take on instrumentals.
The rewatch value is low, its personally just something you'll watch once and never again.
Overall, it isnt a stressful makjang. Its the perfect mixture or mystery+drama+craziness. Everything was just average here, a must watch I must say.
