Episode count: 16
Reasons to watch: tvN debuts a new melo this week, a family-focused reconciliation tale featuring a strong ensemble cast. Chu Ja-hyun, Han Ye-ri, and Shin Jae-ha play siblings, with Jung Jung Ji-young and Won Mi-kyung completing the Kim family unit as their parents. Kim Ji-suk and Shin Dong-wook complete the ensemble as, respectively, a long-time friend and a potential love interest of Han Ye-ri’s. The Kims are a fairly run-of-the-mill family, there’s love there but also bickering and the siblings aren’t as close to each other or their parents as they once were. When Jung Jin-young, has an accident that results in memory loss (that may or may not be an act), the family rallies together and attempts to recover Dad’s memories by showing him old family photos and videos. While going through the family archive, a huge secret is uncovered, creating misunderstandings and conflict. PD Kwon Young-il’s most recent work is Search Query: WWW and writer Kim Eun-jung is responsible for one of my favorite shows, Flower Boy Next Door, so I’m thrilled for this premiere. I love every member of this cast and with this writer-PD duo, I have high expectations for interesting characters and storylines.
