Great family drama, love how even hard times they had. They still stuck together.I still not a fan of how the mother raised her children, giving more love and attention to only her spoiled, gold digger older daughter and mistreating her second daughter.But, she got her karma, well they both did. The woman of the family had many issues, dealing with marriage and career, love, in-laws. But, they stuck together..The son in-laws, should how rich or poor you will have to deal with being marriage and in-laws.My heart went out to the oldest son in-law. He was treated badly by his wife and family, but in the end he found the woman he should had been with.The second son in-law, was a lazy, worthless man. Who in my opinion should had gotten his butt kicked for cheating. His wife had to deal with a lot from him, his family and hers. It takes a strong woman to deal and forgive a unfaithful man. As for the third son in-law, he just wanted to be happy and loved. He could be a little unstable and hot tempered, but, after meeting his birth mother and having a pushy, hot tempered father. You would understand why, hes the way he is..

My favorite character in this drama, was the grandmother, she spoke her mind, she don't hold back. She was funny, love the sounds she make when things make know sense to her..lol, you would have to hear it. My second favorite character was the oldest son in-law, damn good actor. When he cried, you would want to cry. Hes the only person in the drama I felt sorry for. He had it the hardest, but, never gave up...

Awesome drama, this will be my come back and re-watch drama...9/10 stars.

What a superb family drama! It will make you weep, cheer and then roar with laughter. You will at times really wonder if there are families or folks similar to what we saw in this drama. I marathoned this one and for me it was certainly worthwhile. I highly recommend it !

Entertaining and thought provoking. I would have given a 10 for re-watch value but 50 episodes is alot to re-watch. In my opinion the pieces all fell where they should at the end.

Kudos to the cast & crew for making this one so memorable.

Textbook good 40-60 episode drama

This is arguably one of my favorite dramas of all time if not my favorite anyone whos making a 40+ drama should watch this because of its pacing. one thing i love about Wangs Family is the proper pacing paired with the amazing writing. no scene has poorly written dialogue that feels boring and stretched out and it never dwells on anyone scene or story element its always pushing forward to the next thing or the next stage in that arc always keeping you on your toes. And while you will have those cheezy dramas elements where things happen for the most part almost every character will go through a wonderfully written storyline and its still a joy to rewatch, everything ties together nothing feels left out by the end its just nice to see a very solid drama especially for me because im not always interested in every characters in drama but here their all great

"The Korean war was nothing compared to this drama. Egh, hyo, hyo, hyo, hyo."

Hilarious? check. Great romance? check. Distressing? check.
Entertaining? Double check. Dramatic? Triple check.

It's a complex family drama that deserved the sky-high ratings when it aired.
I would laugh hard, and feel really sad few times within the same episode.
Great ost. Really good soundtrack that deserves recognition. And most importantly, it fits the drama so well.

The drama is not heartwarming and cozy. It is about getting over all kinds of difficulties and conflicts and healing. It is also funny, has the best romance, and so much drama.
At first I hated the guts of some of the characters, and I still do. But they were family that cared about each other after all.

The sweetest, cutest, most compatible couple is in this drama. It makes you squeal in happiness. They were like a match made in heaven. Their romance was so beautiful. And their scenes were SO cute.

Way better than other, more popular dramas. I got so excited, laughed from ear to ear, bit my tongue. At the same time felt sad about how much people have to go through in this drama.
Never-ending problems. The drama deals with so many things. The writer was attentive to many realistic details.

FUN-FACT: the actress playing Subak, the daughter who keeps bragging about going for Miss Korea, won the 1989 Miss Korea beauty pageant for real!

Rewatch value is high because it's really funny and it's even funnier when you understand the puns and the humor. Because reading the subtitles wasn't everything. Understanding some Korean adds so much depth to the meaning.

At last I'd like to end with some wisdom "Put yourself in others' shoes" (Wang family's Motto)
