My Father is Strange

2017 · 1 season

A warm, meandering family drama that feels like settling in with a big, noisy household, full of small crises and gentle laughs.

Overview: Mi Yeong, Hye Yeong, Ra Yeong, and Joon Yeong are the kids of Yeong Sil and Han Soo. They seem like the average Seoul family, with the typical Seoul problems, but that all changes when Jung Hui, an actor, and former K-Pop idol, ends up in their doorstep claiming that Han Soo is his biological father. The family goes through thick and thin, one marriage after the other, trying to figure out why their father happens to be strange.
How it feels: Warm, earnest, light and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, identity, love, sexuality
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
