Some dogs were harmed!

I would like to start this review by saying I'm probably not the targeted demographic for this show. i'm not very big on violence and Family Matters has a lot of it. After watching just the first episode I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the whole thing but seeing it was only 6 episodes long I decided to buckle up and take it like a champ, and I'm honestly glad I did it.
Family Matters might not be SK's new masterpiece but it is a fun watch with a somewhat new concept. Not all characters are likeable at first but their character arcs worked in their favour (at least for me, feel free to disagree).
I would also like to applaud the lack of gore simply for shock value, although I'm not a fan of violence (as stated previously) and this show has it's fair share of it, none of the harm seemed to be done just for the sake of doing it: it all served a purpose to the story.
P.S.: I'm still pissed about Simbok, had to take some points just for him.

Only SK could make me cry for a man...

*Sigh* How do I even start?
At first I avoided Yumi Cell's like the plague because the premise didn't seem all that interesting to me but once I gave it a chance, the cells really got me. And then Yumi did. And then Wung.
Even as someone who could not imagine themselves with a man, their relationship got me giggling and kicking my feet until it didn't. I hated Bobby from day one. I hated how Wung seemed to change out of nowhere. I even started questioning whether they were ruining his character because of something to do with the actor.
But then I got it.
Yumi Cell's is annoyingly relatable: the characters will have you screaming, crying and throwing up and the trajectory of Yumi and Wung's relationship almost made me wanna drop the show. But then I realized that it all made perfect sense. They are both very human. The situations they get into are very real. And as much as I wanna believe everything could be perfect, that's just not reality, and Yumi Cell's makes one hell of a case for it (becoming the perfect mirror image of real life).
