Upcoming tvN drama My Unfamiliar Family, previously known as (I Don’t Know Much, But) We Are Family, held its first script read on March 25. The drama is about family dynamics, and the relationships between biological family who are more like strangers, chosen families, and the misunderstandings that happen in between. As children grow up, time spent with their parents decreases, their unsaid secrets increase, and eventually they grow apart. My Unfamiliar Family seeks to pull apart these complex, bittersweet relationships and show how they naturally evolve over time in a realistic way.
At the center of My Unfamiliar Family, Han Ye-ri (Nokdu Flower) plays the optimistic second daughter for whom thoughtful consideration is automatic. Kim Ji-suk (When the Camellia Blooms) plays her college friend of 15 years with whom she has a bickering relationship. He has a carefree, independent personality and confronts reality head-on. Shin Dong-wook (Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 2) plays the senior vice president at the publishing company where Han Ye-ri works.
Chu Ja-hyun (Arthdal Chronicles) plays Han’s sister and is the eldest daughter of the family. She’s a former patent attorney who’s a prickly, harsh realist. All of her decisions in life are based on rationality and logic. Her husband will be played by Kim Tae-hoon (Kingdom 2), whose character is the eldest son in a family with a long line of doctors. Shin Jae-ha (VIP) plays Han and Chu’s younger brother, the energetic maknae and mood-maker of the family.
Jung Jin-young (Chief of Staff 2) and Won Mi-kyung (The Most Beautiful Goodbye) play the parents of the sibling trio. Jung Jin-young plays the role of father with a weightiness appropriate to the head of a household, and Won Mi-kyung plays a lifelong housewife and mom who is readying herself for a new life after her work for her family is done.
tvN Monday-Tuesday drama My Unfamiliar Family, directed by Kwon Young-il (Search Query: WWW) and written by Kim Eun-jung (Flower Boys Next Door), will begin airing in May.
