Emocionante

Qué serie más sobrecogedora. Actuaciones impecables de todos: niños y adultos. La compleja trama que teje el abandono, lo traumático y los afectos familiares. Un 10

9.0/10

I feel you Papa Yun Jeong Jae. Why are the bio parents coming for their kids now? He's done all the heavy lifting and now the bio parents want them right before adulthood. So they can have control and try to get what they want out of their kids as adults.

I feel for Hae Jun. Missing his mom so. But I feel like San Ha explained himself so well! His relationship with his mom is toxic. She is a toxic person. Maybe he needed to be even harsher? Though I feel like Hae Jun revealing they were children who were left alone for 2 days and were hungry. So he tried to feed them both. We still don't get the full story. I like to say no one is to blame, but his mom was clearly in the wrong. As a toxic person who could leave her kids alone and then turn around and blame a child . . . .she's beyond toxic. She knows deep down she is in the wrong, but her toxic personality can not let her be in the wrong. So the scapegoat: child.

This was another moving episode. Seeing the full toxic mother in action. I suppose this episode drives home that you can explain what a toxic mother has done, but people can't full grasp it so think you need to yield to your mom. That you should compromise. Because someone who has had only loving parents can not understand a parent who, especially a mother, who hurts, manipulates and devastates a child. That a mom would poison the person they are supposed to love unconditionally. I mean San Ha's mom basically lies to her new daughter that her oppa wants to see her. Lying to the child so that she can use her new daughter to manipulate Hae Jun. Dirty. Dirty. Self serving.

This episode strikes a nerve. As Hae Jun wants nothing to do with his father, and can't comprehend a situation in which someone wouldn't want their mom. Also has to deal with people who looked down on him for having his current family, but immediately turn on him and get jealous when a rich dad shows up. At leas there are some good friends in our leads lives to help support them. Or at least try to voice some reason.

I'm super curious where this drama is going. How our family of choice is going to proceed.

Sussurros de Despedida: A Leveza que Antecede a Tempestade

O quarto episódio de Perfect Family reafirma a solidez do texto e a precisão da direção. É sempre um prazer observar quando um drama encontra esse equilíbrio sutil entre ritmo e profundidade, e aqui há uma fluidez que torna a narrativa envolvente sem cair no arrastado. A cumplicidade entre roteirista e diretor fica evidente, uma vez que o melodrama é ágil, instigante, e sem os excessos que costumam marcar o gênero.A escolha de Hwang In Youp para o papel de San Ha é um verdadeiro acerto. Ele consegue equilibrar o frescor e a vulnerabilidade de um estudante do ensino médio, ao mesmo tempo que carrega nas entrelinhas uma maturidade forjada por experiências amargas. Esse tipo de dualidade é raro e muito eficaz na tela, conferindo ao personagem uma camada extra de complexidade.Sobre a trama, ainda que eu não tenha visto a versão chinesa Go Ahead, que inspira o enredo, fica a impressão de que não teremos o tradicional triângulo amoroso. Tudo aponta para que, após o salto temporal, San Ha e Ju Won sejam o casal central. Entretanto, devo admitir que a interpretação de Chae Yeon como Ju Won ainda me causa desconforto. Conhecendo seu trabalho prévio em The Golden Spoon, sei que ela é capaz de entregar muito mais, mas aqui parece deslocada, com uma energia que não se alinha ao restante do elenco. Essa desconexão é particularmente visível nas interações do trio principal, o que, em um drama com tanto foco nas relações interpessoais, não pode passar despercebido.A narrativa tem seus clichês, como o retorno simultâneo de todos os personagens do passado – um recurso batido, mas que pode ser útil se bem trabalhado. O que me intriga, no entanto, é a tia de Hae Jun, que além de ser uma personagem desconfortável, apresenta motivações que, por ora, parecem incoerentes. A chantagem emocional que ela impõe sobre o sobrinho é desconcertante, e espero que haja um desenvolvimento mais substancial para justificar sua presença e ações.No mais, estamos claramente à beira da separação do trio, um momento-chave que pode determinar o tom dos próximos episódios. Ainda que até agora o drama mantenha uma leveza curiosa, há uma sensação de que momentos mais pesados podem estar por vir. É esperar para ver se a produção terá coragem de explorar esse lado mais trágico.
