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.
