Chaebol Madness.
Graceful family revolves around the lives of a family and their journey of uncovering secrets from their past on bad relationships, affairs, and murder. With Im Soo Hyang as Mo Suk Hee, who plays the only daughter of the family, Heo Yoon Doo, a man who is affected by the lies and shortcomings of their family and Ms. Han, who risks it all in the name of their company.
First, to Im Soo Hyang, a bad bitch who made this character ever so entertaining, I believe she is the highlight of this whole drama, her role was so much fun to watch a very strong female lead if I do say so myself. This drama is very standard in terms of performances, the storyline, and the perspective of the director. I loved the performances especially from both Im Soo Hyang and Bae Jong Ok who killed their roles I loved and hated them to the extreme. The OST made up of mostly scores was dramatic enough to fill the atmosphere of the drama, they absolutely killed it with every score choice for each scene, and the diversity of characters in the drama was subtle but still alive. I loved the internal conflict of each character but I would have loved to see more character in-depth on Ms. Han, the things that kind of pushed her to her decisions. She kind of felt like the cold character who just didn't care about anybody without reason.
Overall, it was very fun, the supporting roles were great too. I had a lot of fun watching this piece. The story is predictable in some aspects but there are enough plot twists to keep it fun, and apart from the rich family drama vibes there's also a bit of law involved to add to the genre. The basic lessons too about humanity and compassion, empathy were not missed it really showed what things different people value in life as a good piece should. Don't expect too much but its definitely worth the fun. WATCH IT!!
