Unbreakable Bond of a Family
I was honestly expecting a teen flick kind of story, but was served with a full dose of family drama of growth and unity, with the badass leads being the parents instead of the teenage twins which surprises me even more. I totally love every member of the family, from the cheeky grandpa Gangseong, to the awkward partners in marriage appa one-hand fighter Chulhee and omma brain hacker Yeongsu, to the tech whiz Jihun to the broody killing machine Jiwoo.
The family of 5 is constantly on the move as theyre on the run from a secret organization that conducts Special Training, where they trains kids with special abilities to do their bidding. 17years ago Chulhee, Gangseong and Yeongsu escaped from such place with twin babies in tow, and they have been on the run since. Jiwoo being heavy-handed with the bullies gets expelled regularly and they end up in another remote town where they come to be embroiled in the local church scam, gangsters and murderers. As they face the challenges, it also strengthens their bond as a family while awakening powers that the kids never expected.
Honestly I could not find a flaw in any of the acting. Theyre totally on point, a special kudos to Bae Doona who played Yeongsu she really nailed it as the broken mother figure of the family despite them not having any blood relation with each other. The range of emotions that the character Yeongsu had, initially the emotionlessly unhinged that gradually turned into warmth and longing for love from the daughter she never gave birth to.
The action is definitely a great watch but dont expect much flamboyant moves. Streetfights are the real deal when it comes to the action choreograph here. I just cant wait for season 2 to come out and hopefully they pack more episodes than this one. I cant get enough of the family of five.
