Although the theme of the story is good, the execution and the performance are subpar.

It is a pain to watch this family going back and forth with the same old, same old... the show just keeps dragging on and on, the same with the romance, the two characters just guess and joke, gauge and messing around and around it is truly a waste of time.

Not even one actors display any outstanding performance, maybe because the characters are too dull to execute/perform, they are all just going the motion and simply get the job done. Especially worst is the father with his constant pouting mouth (not cute if you are not handsome and young). The mother who has this constipation look at almost every scene.

Most of the characters are unlikable and hence, can't produce any empathy from viewers. What had happened to the arrogant eldest daughter should be a tearjerker and yet it is hard to find any sympathy for her. The only likable character in this show is the baby brother and the actor who plays the role actually has decent acting skill.

Overall, a subpar show and if you haven't started it, just don't.

" My Unfamiliar Family " had loads and loads of drama. One misfortune followed another, as we follow the 'misadventures' of a family with three grown up kids.

We are immediatly droped into their family life, at the time when the mother decides to graduate from her marriage, a decision that provoked a series of revealed secrets, dramas and revelations. We get to see what had happened and their relationships, as well as who's who through flashbacks, narrations and some recollections from the main characters. The way that all these were presented was quite interesting, actually, and made the drama pretty intense and exciting.

However, there were times when all these things that kept happening turned the story a bit stuffy and, thus, tiring. The romance was a slow burn love story, that, unfortunately, was rushed in the ending.

Other than that, the performances were top notch and the pacing matched the story perfectly.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

The starting and ending are nice family story type. The whole drama is nice smooth and touching at times.

It had reminded us of our past with our families, bravo!

I will give it 8.5 stars max. Its comparable quality to movie! Its very advisable to watch! I highly recommend it even few years later.

This drama was a one big exhibition of petty fights with a lot of noise and little to no substance. These arguments and fights were the main driving element of the drama and it's important for it to be supported by a good dialogue. Unfortunately, nothing profound came out of any of them. Most of them were "fixed" by clearing misunderstandings from the past. It didn't feel it provided a real development and growth for these characters. Especially for repeated offenders. None of the characters/relationships were appealing. There was no place for romance but they insisted on shoving it in for the last 1/3 to pair everyone. They should've kept it about the family only. I didn't like how they ended most episodes with a scene that wasn't resumed until 15 minutes of the next episode.

I was expecting a proper "life" drama grounded to reality but shoving too many tropes ruined it (miscarriage, misunderstandings, amnesia, birth secret, illness, cheating, friends to lovers, hidden past, ex-spouse comes back ..etc). This is a melodrama in disguise!! There was one particular really stupid misunderstanding that lasted over 30 years. The writers weren't even trying! However, the worst part of the drama has to be all the scenes of Eun Hee talking about her love life with Chan Hyuk, these were mind numbing. This drama doesn't have much to offer other than some pretty visuals.

Excellent series that addresses family secrets that are gradually being revealed in the relationship between parents and children. Suffering, tragedy, past and present weaving the story of a family, their hurts, resentments, and the possibility of maturation and new bonds.
