Bad Family

I am really not a TV show fan. No matter how much I try, I just can not force myself to be loyal to a TV program. I have disgraced myself. Not really! ;p
For my television blog I decided to do it on a SBS comedy TV series I just bought, which has eight discs with a total of sixteen episodes. I have just finish watching episode one to six which was hilarious! The series is called "Bul Ryang Ga Jok" (or "Bad Family"), written by Lee Hee-myung and Han Eun-kyung and directed by Yoo In-shik. This series was aired on March 22, 2006 to May 11, 2006 in South Korean.

Here is a synopsis of the series from Fansites Hollywood K-DRAMA:

Cast: Kim Myung-min, Nam Sang-mi, Park Jin-woo, Hyun Young, Kim
Hee-chul
This drama is about a very impaired, abnormal family's with a wide
range of
characters. The thing is, the members of this "family" aren't all
really
related! They are a "staged" family. Oh Dal-geon (Kim Myun-min) who
was being
chased by gangster recruited a bunch of people to be a part of a
family of a
young child named Baek Na-reem (Lee Young-yoo). Na-reem has
amnesia and her real
family died in a car accident. It is to believed that
the "car accident" wasn't
really an accident. To find out the truth,
Dal-geon brings in people to play the
roles of different members of
Na-reem's family to help her regain her memory.
Kim Yang-ah (Nam Sang-mi)
was an orphan at a very young age. She had lost
her family, but plays a role
in this "bad" family. Ha Tae-kyung (Park Jin-woo)
is Yang-ah's boss who
falls for her. see how things heat up as Yang-ah,
Tae-kyung and Dal-geon
into a love triangle and how this family life isn't all
that sweet,
especially when some do not get along with each other!
Episodes: 16
Official Site: SBS
DVD: Not released

While watching the third disc (episodes 5 and 6) I thought to
myself "ANOTHER LOVE TRI-ANGLE!" I am not much of a fan of "love tri-angle" but it seems that all Korean dramas/series have them. What is so unique about that? However the first two discs which focus more on the child, Na-reem, and the
"family" was really interesting. It really made me wonder if many "big people"
like CEOs and the such really go through all these illegal stuffs just to obtain
their "higher" position. How Dal-geon got the "staged" family together was
something else. I could understand him using the people who were indebted to
him, but to pick up a kid who he had found sleeping on the street? He must be
really desperate, which he was.
So we have the daughter-in-law (who lost her only child a long time ago and sells to-go coffee on the street for a living) and the father-in-law (who is a dance instructor) are in a "friendly" relationship (they were already like that before the "family" was formed). The son-in-law (who sent his children to Canada for a better education and his wife [who cheated on him in Canada then later demanded for a divorce] to take care of them and who hasn't seen them for a long time now because he can not afford plane ticket to go visit them so he works as a debt collector to make money to
send to them) is starting to fall for the daughter-in-law (who is the woman that
is giving him so much trouble at work because she will not pay up the loan she
borrowed) and gets very jealous of her "friendly" relationship with the
father-in-law. The mother-in-law (who has an open street restaurant who gives
out free coffee for her customer seems to be "stealing" the daughter-in-law's
customer) and daughter-in-law despise each other (because of the business issue
that usually gets them into fist fights). The uncle (who is the founder of the
"family" and who is an ex-gangster, who is making just about everyone in the
"family" to work for him to pay off their debt to him) and the granddaughter
(who is trying to rise three younger brothers on her own since her parents died
some time ago, and who blames the uncle for burning down her boat in which she
made her living out of) are starting to fall for each other. The grandson...the
grandson (who is known as "yellow hair") is a total stranger. There was a part
in which some people were calling him "master," but he works at a hair salon?
Did you get all of that?
So far the series is getting really exciting and hilarious! Can't wait to watch more of it next week and find out what happens!
