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.
