Addicted to the Park Hyung Sik and Nam Ji Hyun OTP in Weekend Drama What’s With This Family — 46 Comments

  1. I like everything about ZE:A. Park Hyung Shik is the member of boyband ZE:A. Miss Koala maybe you dont know about that. Let me write about ZE:A here. ZE:A has a great leader Lee Hoo or Moon Jun Young. ZE:A also has Kwang Hee who always promote ZE:A whenever he went to the TV station. Park Hyung shik in real life is from a wealthy family. His father is the director of BMW car in Korea….ZE:A also has Im Siwan from Triangle and next Misaeng. ZE:A also has Taehoen who debuted as MMA but…the ending was terrible. so pity of him. ZE:A also has Kim Dong Jun, the murderer from Fugitives Josein with SOng Ji Hyo and Lee Dong Wook and last but least Jung Hee Chul who will act in a drama but I forget the title is…It will release in December or January.

  2. I personally love the Kang Shim-Tae Joo OTP although Seo Wool and Dalbong are cute too. I’m so glad KBS has cut the strings of makjang weekend dramas and I hope they continue it in the future. The last one that made me endure 50 eps was ‘Unexpected You’. That one was addicting!

  3. me too….
    wow, it’s a rare that you review this week end drama.
    but agreed 100% that this drama have their heart with their young cast.

  4. pretty much what happened to me 3 weeks ago when I decided to give it a try …. and tararan , got hooked by Hyung Shik and the charms of the youngest OTP 🙂
    heol , Hyung Shik and Ji Hyun are so freakin adorable together I just can’t … their chemistry reminds me so much of Jung Kyung Ho and Lee Min Jung in Smile You, they’re till now the most awesome OTP I’ve ever seen in a family drama and now these 2 cuties are seriously climbing at full speed on my personal list .
    The drama itself is not so much special and I must say that Seo Wool character is plain stupid sometimes ( even tho I like her warm side and pure feelings ) but that’s a common character on KBS family dramas and Nam Ji Hyun is doing amazing as always even when I have major rolleyes because of her character XD …. but fortunately there’s Dal Bong , aww just AWWWW DAL BONG ahhhh!!!

    Hyung Shik , liked him in Nine and adoring him on this one …. it’s like he was born to be Dal Bong . I don’t like kpop and I don’t care about idols but I always welcome idols who can show more than their pretty faces , this guy’s naturality when acting is no joke …. he can work on his acting as time passes so I can totally look forward to his career from now on ..

    * runs to watch today’s episode *

  5. i will check it out Koala. I swore I would never watch a weekend drama but I love the Wang family and that flew by quick. So if this one is as good as you say it will fly too.

    • Not so much mean as annoying, super annoying, is the girl cousin who returned home after a huge gambling debt… She is there to stir the pot…

      • The mother in law of the oldef brother is a ‘mean’ character. I hate almost everything about his storyline, though maybe the kid will be interesting.

      • Same. I liked Kim Hyun Joo in Dummy Mommy, and I’m happy to see her again in a weekly drama. And that director…he gives me a full belly laugh when he’s eating.

      • They are the only story I’m interested in this drama. I cannot articulate why I don’t find the Nam Ji Hyun pairing (with either actor) interesting.

  6. I’ve watch a tiny bit and it was interesting, but not good enough to stick through 50 episodes but now I’m convinced to watch this. Park hyungsik was memorable for me in heirs and nine and he aftacts well!!

  7. I didn’t read the mini recap of what happened in the show because I may find time to watch. I will say that I loved PHS in Nine. He had to do more than the typical youth version of the character since he co-acted with himself the whole series. There were some pretty poignant moments where he did well.
    And, he so cute.

    • Lol. I was going to mention Nine, too. He was soooo good as the younger Sun Woo, it was uncanny. In the later episodes he had Lee Jin Wook’s mannerisms down to a T.

  8. Nam Ji Hyun has great chemistry with both Park Hyung Shik and Seo Kang Joon, but from the drama it’s totally clear her heart belongs to Dal Bong even if he isn’t the boy she saved 12 years ago. All 3 members of the OT3 are doing great, but Park Hyung Shik really deserves all the praise, he did really well at playing a regular nice boy with a heart of gold who’s struggling with his self esteem and thinks that he’s not worthy of Seo Wool’s love because he’s not been able to find employment.

    It’s a really sweet love story, and I heard someone say that even though Dal Bong and Seo Wool are individually really innocent, their chemistry is begging for more skinship. I miss her ruffling his hair, he used to get so cutely hot and bothered over that!

    Also love the Dad, unlike most kdrama parents he’s good to his kids and not dead or absent, and he just makes the whole thing like a nice warm family. I thought the scene where he comforts poor Dal Bong after DB spilled the beans to Seo Wool about Eunho being her “Dal Bong” was really touching.

  9. I’m totally here for the young OT3 and the sister Kang Shim’s love line.
    That older bro, Kang Jae can go take a long walk. The writers took away all my sympathy for his character. I don’t know if he’s redeemable.
    Watching for Dal Bong and Seo Wool only is probably wise Koala. Meanwhile this is the only Korean drama I’m watching now and I usually juggle 5-6. Just waiting on Tomorrow’s Cantabile. I’ve been seriously in a rut until WHTMF saved me.

  10. I also checked out this drama for Seo Kang Joon, but discovered Park Hyung Sik instead! He is so good here! The OTP of the older sister is entertaining too, only the middle brother OTP is boring.

  11. I got hooked on this a few weekends ago, too.
    So cute, so cute, so cute…
    Hope they don’t take the story to too crazy a story line that I will want to drop it in the future. This young couple is really good. They are so cute! I’m happy you like them, too, Ms. Koala!!

  12. I love this drama from the first episode. I heard about the budding actor, ZEA member idol, Park Yung Shik. Checked him out, I got so hooked. The cast, the plot. can’t wait for the next episode. I enjoy & admire (young, new) actors who perform their characters well. Not thinking of their beautiful angle. The admiration talk about Park Hyung Shik proves true. A kpop idol who do well on stage, sing, dance, do well in variety shows, doing very well as a budding actor. My new_found budding actor, Park Hyung Shik, all the best to all you do.

  13. Hyungsik is really memorable for me especially as younger version on Nine Time Travels and serious. he does a decent job recently. Siwan and Dongjun have their respecting charms too on acting and I’ll always anticipate even tho they aren’t major roles.

  14. I LOVE THIS COUPLE! Main reason why I started watching this drama, but I’m pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it has been so far. There’s a nice balance between the different story lines, and watching the family just gives you a nice warm cozy feeling.

    My favorite Dal Bong scene so far was when he barges into the house asking for an expensive scooter after they got the checks from the in-laws. His excitement was hilarious. Poor guy didn’t know what was going on and had everyone stare daggers at him. LOL.

  15. I’m in the minor here. I disliked this drama and I hardly dislike this couple. I don’t love them but I sort of like them. They have a good amount of cuteness but the stupidity and naive of both is killing me.

  16. Partially watched an episode of this drama and was noncommittal. After reading your recommendation however, I’ll just dive in. Trusting you on this. 🙂

    Thanks Koala!

  17. Its a comedy, romance, drama. So its mean to be hilarious, sometimes seriously ridiculously funny. That’s the joy of watching “What’s happening to my family”. Its a relaxing entertainment, like a breath of fresh air in between those serious, intense Kdramas.

  18. I’m more invested in Kang Shim and Tae Joo’s love story because they’r both awesome characters and actors. And except for the bratty doctor son and his bride’s family, I love everyone else.

    After E17 though, I’m kinda interested in what’ll happen to Kang Jae’s little *surprise* and the effect on both families more than in the love triangle of Dalbong, Seo-wool & Eunho.

    The fathers in this drama are awesome (including Hyo-jin’s father). The mothers are irritating (argh at Baek Sol-hee) but at least they’re not as hateful as those in YTBLSS.

    Overall, it’s a good weekend drama and has that same feel I got from Sons of Sol Pharmacy which I loved.

  19. I ship this couple too ! I think Seo Wool is a little bit harsh with Dal Bong. He said that he wasn’t this boy, after he didn’t say it that was Eun Ho so that she wasn’t hurt by Eun Ho who didn’t care. Et after Dal Bong lied because he was in love…

    I don’t like the story of the big bro… The father said to her daughter that she will marry thi guy and she fell in love in one minute… And they married… It’s crazy. And the girl is so useles…

  20. The drama was ok, but i really love Dalbong.

    I always wanted Hyungsik to get a major role because I find him a really decent idol actor. He wasn’t given a lot of chances to act because he wasn’t that popular.

    Glad that Real Men boosted his popularity and now he is given more chances.
    I was impressed with Hyungsik’s acting ever since I watched Sirius. Not that he was super good, but he was considered a very decent actor for someone who was rather new to acting at that time. He was good in Nine too.

    I hope to see Dalbong becomes more mature as I want to see Hyungsik stretch his acting ability. People associate him with comedy now because of Heirs but I want to see him in more serious roles like the role in Sirius.

  21. I’ve bean singing this drama praises every ware I go,I actual recommend it to you, guess you missed my post. But I’m happy that you actually got a chance to see it, have fun watching, I know I an.

  22. Thank you for sharing his drama, am now marathoning it. I started noticing him on Nine, he did pretty good and the young character was pretty spot on down with the hand gestures. Not really into Boy Band, however, when I saw the group ZE:A performed on Immortal Song…Oh my, I was sold. 🙂 particularly love Hyung Sik.

  23. I am enjoying this weekend drama. I was drawn to the DalBong and Seo Wool at first and still find these 2 so adorable together. I am also invested in the Kang Shim and Director pair now as they always make me laugh. Yay to What’s with this family.

  24. ah, miss K…so happy that you got to feature this one…i am so happy… this has been my weekend fix since it started and i love that you have also fallen in love with young casts love triangle arc…this is basically a feel good family drama for me…and it’s true that park hyung shik really shines in this drama!!!

  25. jihyun was the reason i watched it. and i dont regret it. jihyun nailed SW’s country girl accent lol. these two soooo have undeniable chemistry. im hooked. DB SW 🙂

  26. I’m watching this drama right now in Nov 2020 solely bcoz of my deep adoration of Nam Ji Hyun and Park Hyung Sik. Been desperately missing them both. One is in the military service while the other has been SUPER quiet since 365 Repeat The Year finished airing so I am willing to plough through all the 53 episodes. Phew. Simply love the adorable, capable and talented Nam Ji Hyun paired up with super duper cutie pie Park Hyun Sik. This is one OTP I can ship from the heart apart from Nam Ji Hyun-Seo In Guk pairing in Shopping King Louis. I seriously need a reunion for these two pairs please drama gods. Praying real hard that SIG would end up with Park Bo Young in Destruction. That would be a nice destiny/fate coupling as I adore PHS-PBY combo in SWDBS.
