Premiere Watch: Family Matters

Time slot: Friday (single drop TBC)
Broadcaster: Coupang Play
Genre: Black comedy, fantasy, thriller, crime
Episode count: 8

Reasons to watch: In what’s giving me major Moving + Atypical Family vibes, Bae Doo-na leads Family Matters (which got a last-minute English title switch from Family Planning). A story of a family who are not actually family — no, they are superpowered humans merely pretending to be family. With Ryu Seung-beom, Lomon, Baek Yoon-shik , and Lee Soo-hyun comprising our family unit, the black comedy crime-thriller feels like a bit of a wild card. Will they be able to meld found family feels with the edginess of a (streaming service) drama about crime? Will they even try, or that just my wishful thinking? Time will tell.

TL;DR: Fake family = superpowered safety

I hope this is good, but Trunk comes before this. I wish this wasn't a single drop, but alas this will take the weekend into next week.

I envy people for whom a holiday means having more drama watching time. For me, it means much less. I don’t know how I’m supposed to keep up with the dramas I’m already watching let alone these single drops! But I’m not sure where this is available in the US anyway - any word on that?
