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.

" 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.

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.

Very realistic feel .. loved every moment of it it's actually 16 episodes though.

This show is very slow paced but every moment is important. This is a family who cannot under any circumstances communicate. Seriously they all are the worst and jump to conclusions about absolutely everything all the time.

Somehow that's what makes this work. The only thing that completely destroyed it was the ice Queen older sister. Kudos to her for keeping completely expressionless 100% of the time, but honestly cracking a smile just once might have been nice. Laughing might have been better. She deserves the crap life she got being such a horrible, entitled cow with absolute disregard for everyone else 100% of the time.

Worth a watch, but it's slow. A bit predictable at times (but not in others) and has a good laugh with the second crazy sister. Who steals the whole show.
