Reasons to watch: In what’s giving me major Moving + Atypical Family vibes, Bae Doo-na leads Family Matters (which got a last-minute English title switch from Family Planning). A story of a family who are not actually family — no, they are superpowered humans merely pretending to be family. With Ryu Seung-beom, Lomon, Baek Yoon-shik , and Lee Soo-hyun comprising our family unit, the black comedy crime-thriller feels like a bit of a wild card. Will they be able to meld found family feels with the edginess of a (streaming service) drama about crime? Will they even try, or that just my wishful thinking? Time will tell.
