Horrible Characters
The drama started out interesting. I will admit, I do like lighter dramas and with low angst, but if it’s done right, I can get into a Melodrama. One of my favorite, slow pace melodrama is My Liberation Notes, so I went into My Unfamiliar family with an open mind.
The first 7 episodes was interesting, but then I started to realize, the theme and pacing of the drama wasn’t for me. There was a lot of issues I had.
The drama is about a family, Mom and Dad with Older Sister, Middle sister and younger brother. Each person is neither good nor bad. Everyone has flaws and as much as I like a complicated character, I needed SOMETHING to root for, but I didn’t have that.
The pacing was VERY slow. Everyone talked in circles and you really wanted to get to the root of the problem, but it too forever to have it come out to the open.
The drama would convey / portray a certain message they wanted you think and feel, but when it’s finally reveled, it’s not what you think. Everything about the show is about perspective and that really annoyed me. Like getting mad at someone for doing something, but holding it in for YEARS and finally letting it out. Well, they didn’t have fun doing that thing you got mad at them for. It just seemed very contrived and frustrating.
A LOT of problems could have been resolved if they just Communicated. Yup, just talk it out!
Each episode ended on a cliff-hanger ending, which is how typical dramas are done, however, you never know if it was a REAL cliff-hanger ending or it was just something they showed but changed it to something else on the next episode. That really annoyed me too.
It’s trying too hard to force emotions on the audience.
The storylines at some point got kind of predictable and once I figured out what was going on, it was hard to grasp my interests.
Like I said, I didn’t like any character.
The father seemed too abusive and they always portrayed him as horrible, but like I said, the drama isn’t about good or bad characters, it’s all about perspective.
The older sister seems really endearing, but she says some REALLY mean stuff to the younger sister and that’s when I started to stop caring for her.
The younger sister is probably the worst character ever written. I hated how immature and wishy-washy she was. I couldn’t stand her at all.
Overall, I probably should have stopped watching after the 7th episode, but I wanted to finish the drama. I usually like to end on a high note, but I can’t think of anything I liked in this drama. Maybe the hairstyles? I liked that.
