And in the process, you can become closer. Your comfort level in regards to watching dramas with your parents is obviously different for everyone, but there are certain family K-dramas that do not have too many scenes that would make either party uncomfortable. Here are some family-friendly K-dramas to check out with your parents!
List is in no particular order.
1. “Father Is Strange”
“Father Is Strange” stars Kim Young Chul and Kim Hae Sook as mother and father to three daughters and one son. The family is thrown for a loop when Ahn Joong Hee (Lee Joon) shows up to the house one day, stating that he thinks he is the son of Byun Han Soo (Kim Young Chul) and is part of the family.
“Father Is Strange” is a weekend family K-drama that has undoubtedly stood the test of time. At this point, it’s considered a classic, and anyone who wants a funny, heartfelt series that delves into the dynamics between family members should definitely watch this one. The series is a whopping 52 episodes, but you’ll become invested from the very start. It won the Grand Prize at the 2017 KBS Drama Awards, which was very well-deserved! This series will tug at the heartstrings of any family member you watch it with.
2. “Hello Me!”
Ban Ha Ni (Choi Kang Hee) is 37 years old and hasn’t had much luck with love and jobs. She works hard and is generally positive, but she is finding it difficult to continue on living this way. One magical day, she comes in contact with her 17-year-old self. Younger Ban Ha Ni (Lee Re) is surprised to see how awful her life has become, and she tries to help her older self get her life on track.
This healing series is good for any age and any family member. It has scenes where you and your parents will be laughing out loud and also be moved to tears. The series is about so much – self-love, acceptance, dreams, innocence, and that it’s never too late to figure things out and discover who you are. The emotional rollercoaster that you and your parents will go on through Ha Ni’s journey will be so wholesome and genuine that you’ll fall in love with everything about it!
3. “Terius Behind Me”
Jung In Sun plays Go Ae Rin, a single mother of twins whose husband passes away. She comes to lean on her next door neighbor Kim Bon (So Ji Sub) as he helps her by chance and even comes to help take care of her kids. They eventually work together to figure out a conspiracy with which her late husband was a part of.
Although the synopsis doesn’t seem like it would be too family-friendly, the interactions with the main leads and the children are really what sets this apart and make it a family-friendly series. You have the added bonus of seeing some adorable twins being their charming selves, and I also can’t forget to mention how hilarious and adorable it is to see So Ji Sub trying his best to look after them for a lot of the series. You and your parents will surely laugh and be enthralled with the action parts as well as moved by the family and love parts!
4. “Five Enough”
In “Five Enough,” Ahn Jae Wook plays Lee Sang Tae, a widow who is left looking after his two children. He lives with his in-laws as they help raise the children. He meets Ahn Mi Jung (So Yoo Jin), whose husband had an affair, but she is unable to tell her children the truth about their father, so she lies to them. Sang Tae and Mi Jung do not expect it, but they end up falling in love with each other.
Another weekend drama and one that is 54 episodes in length, “Five Enough” is a series that will leave a lasting impression on you and your parents. First off, the series is about single parents who are trying their hardest to provide for their families. There are so many endearing and emotional side stories that you and your parents will definitely get invested in. And the cast is unbelievably good. Everyone should find themselves getting emotionally into the story until the end!
