Based on a popular webtoon, “Perfect Family” is a new mystery drama about a seemingly happy and perfect family that begins to suspect each other when their daughter becomes entangled in a murder. Park Ju Hyun stars as Choi Sun Hee, a model student who is ranked first in her school, while Kim Byung Chul and Yoon Se Ah play her adoptive parents Choi Jin Hyuk and Ha Eun Joo.

Following its premiere, “Perfect Family” has shared insight into the complex relationship between the four students Choi Sun Hee, Park Kyung Ho (Kim Young Dae), Lee Soo Yeon (Choi Ye Bin), and Ji Hyun Woo (Lee Si Woo).

The four students’ complex friendship raised viewers’ anticipation for their chemistry within the drama.

However, shaking up their ordinary lives, the students became embroiled in a murder case. Kyung Ho ended up passing away due to Soo Yeon, but Sun Hee surprisingly kept stating that she was the one who killed Kyung Ho.

Perfect Family: Episodes 1-2

by starrygazer

If you’re looking for something sinister and dark — and you like not quite knowing who in the show to trust — Perfect Family is definitely worth the watch. There are some twists and turns coupled with misdirection, and quite honestly I think this is going to be a shocking drama.

 
EPISODES 1-2

 

 

The main protagonist of our story is CHOI SUN-HEE (Park Joo-hyun) and for the moment she is living an idyllic life. Sun-hee was adopted from an orphanage as a child by Dad (Kim Byung-chul) and Mum (Yoon Se-ah). As a family they eat together, go for runs together, and it seems they are very close-knit. Dad wins an “Excellent Persons” award fourth year in a row at work, and Mum and Sun-hee are there to get the “perfect picture” of his achievement together as a family.

Sun-hee is also a high achiever at school, and is focused solely on her studies and the college entrance exam. Both of Sun-hee’s best friends have a crush on her: PARK KYUNG-HO (Kim Young-dae) is quite obvious about his feelings, and JI HYUN-WOO (Lee Shi-woo) tends to hide his feelings as he feels inferior being from a more humble background. For Sun-hee’s birthday Kyung-ho has bought her bedazzled keyring, it seems to me that Kyung-ho’s intense attention makes Sun-hee uncomfortable. The boys seem to have a friendly rivalry when it comes to their feelings for Sun-hee, but everything is about to change with the arrival of LEE SOO-YEON (Choi Ye-bin).

 

In a very insidious way, Soo-yeon joins Sun-hee’s class and asks Sun-hee if she remembers her. When Sun-hee is alone, Soo-yeon approaches her again and asks her about tying her hair up with a pencil (something we later find out Soo-yeon had taught her to do at the orphanage). She also hands Sun-hee a box of matches. This triggers a memory for Sun-hee from when she was young and a group of boys were bullying her behind the orphanage. Soo-yeon had come to her rescue and told a creepy story about her parents being killed in a fire while she lit the matches, and this was enough to scare the boys away. After this incident, the girls had become inseparable, and Soo-yeon had taught Sun-hee how to strike a match, even though she wasn’t very good at it. Then everything changed when Soo-yeon told Sun-hee she was going to be adopted so she would be leaving the next day.

In the dead of that night, a fire had broken out at the orphanage and Soo-yeon had been hurt pretty badly – burning half of her scalp. This meant that her adoption was cancelled because it costs a lot of money to treat burns. In the present, Soo-yeon snarls at Sun-hee that she wouldn’t understand because she’s always been happy. Poor Sun-hee feels awful — I genuinely think she had no idea all of this had happened to Soo-yeon. Soo-yeon holds Sun-hee to ransom with her guilt and tells her she wants the bedazzled keyring (that Kyung-ho had given her) and helps herself to it. It’s hard not to swing between feeling sorry for Soo-yeon and wanting to slap her – she’s been dealt a horrible hand in life so far but she doesn’t do herself any favors behaving like a brat.

 

After this revelation, we see Sun-hee return from school the next day and ask her dad for advice. Sun-hee tells Dad that she has a friend who she doesn’t really know how to talk to. And with Soo-yeon’s erratic behavior — screaming and throwing things at the drop of a hat — I can totally understand why. Sun-hee says it’s different with Hyun-woo and Kyung-ho, because she can tell what they’re thinking. Dad laughs and tells her that’s just what teenage boys are like, even though he was an exception. Yeah I bet you were. There is something creepy in the forced smiling and fake laughing that comes from both of Sun-hee’s parents. Dad suggests Sun-hee write a letter to this friend as it will enable her to get all of her thoughts out — not bad advice.

We get a little insight into Soo-yeon’s life at the moment. Soo-yeon has been swindled by her part time job: the boss sold the store and did off with all their wages. Soo-yeon’s living with an older girl from the orphanage and we learn that she chose to go to this expensive school because she wanted to be close to Sun-hee — weird, considering her resentment. Now that Soo-yeon has no money, she decides to ask Sun-hee for it. Sun-hee doesn’t hear her request at first which enrages Soo-yeon who then screams in Sun-hee’s face that she needs money, making a huge scene.

 

At school the next day, Kyung-ho puts money on Soo-yeon’s desk and tells her not to bully Sun-hee and ask him if she’s desperate for money – Kyung-ho’s father is a famous painter so he’s loaded. Enraged again, Soo-yeon smacks Kyung-ho as he’s walking away from her, and screams she doesn’t want his money. Soo-yeon proceeds to get in Sun-hee’s face on the way out screaming, “Do you think I’m a beggar!?” Calm down, tiger – geez. Kyung-ho didn’t exactly handle the situation well, but Soo-yeon seems to be becoming more unhinged by the second.

Jealousy peaks for Soo-yeon when she sees Sun-hee’s mum pick Sun-hee and Kyung-ho up after school. This is noticed by two school bullies who start following Soo-yeon. The bullies say they’ve heard about Soo-yeon’s outburst and they’ve heard she was infamous at her last school. Trying to get Soo-yeon on their side, they ask her if she wants them to take care of Sun-hee, whom they call annoying because she is rich, a model student, and even has a handsome bodyguard. If Soo-yeon agrees, she can become their friend. But Soo-yeon isn’t interested; she’s not interested in making friends with the nice kids, let alone these two.

Park Ju Hyun Struggles To Hide Anxiety While Kim Byung Chul Remains Unfazed During Murder Interrogation In "Perfect Family"

KBS2’s “Perfect Family” has dropped captivating new stills ahead of tonight’s episode!

 

Based on a popular webtoon, “Perfect Family” is a new mystery drama about a seemingly happy and perfect family that begins to suspect each other when their daughter becomes entangled in a murder. Park Ju Hyun stars as Choi Sun Hee, a model student who is ranked first in her school, while Kim Byung Chul and Yoon Se Ah play her adoptive parents Choi Jin Hyuk and Ha Eun Joo.

Spoilers

In the previous episode, although Lee Soo Yeon (Choi Ye Bin) was the one who stabbed and killed Park Kyung Ho (Kim Young Dae), Sun Hee, out of guilt over her past mistake to Soo Yeon, rushed home and told her mother that she had killed Kyung Ho. The next day, Sun Hee discovered that a fire had broken out at Kyung Ho’s house, claiming the lives of his entire family. Despite Sun Hee’s panic, her parents Choi Jin Hyuk and Ha Eun Joo continued their daily routines as if nothing had happened. To make matters worse, Sun Hee was unable to reach Soo Yeon, who wasn’t responding to any of her calls.

 

In the newly released stills, a worried Sun Hee visits Soo Yeon’s house but finds no trace of her. As Soo Yeon remains missing, Sun Hee’s anxiety intensifies, deepening the mystery surrounding the case.

 

 

However, the next set of stills reveals that Soo Yeon has been found, bleeding. In the upcoming episode, a mysterious figure targets Soo Yeon in the aftermath of Kyung Ho’s murder. After being chased, Soo Yeon loses consciousness. Who is targeting her and why do they want to harm her?

 

Spoiler

 

Meanwhile, in another set of stills, Sun Hee is being interrogated in connection with Kyung Ho’s murder. Despite the police showing up at their home, Jin Hyuk remains unfazed, maintaining a firm expression and calm demeanor. Even when informed that his daughter has committed murder, he stays completely composed, not showing the slightest sign of emotion. Throughout Sun Hee’s interrogation, Jin Hyuk watches the entire situation with a steady gaze, never wavering.

 

In stark contrast, Sun Hee appears visibly frightened and anxious. She keeps her head down, struggling to hide her nervousness as she hesitates to answer the detectives’ questions.

Lee Sung Woo (Kim Myung Soo) listens intently to Sun Hee’s account, while Shin Dong Ho (Kim Do Hyun) interjects with piercing questions, his sharp gaze never leaving her.

Kim Byung Chul and Yoon Se Ah’s suspicious behavior

Ha Eun Joo was initially stunned to learn that her daughter Sun Hee might have killed someone, but she quickly regained her composure.

Adding to the mystery, the phone and workbook Sun Hee left at Park Kyung Ho’s (Kim Young Dae’s) house on the day of the incident somehow reappeared at their home.

 

In episode 4, Jin Hyuk asked Eun Joo, “Should we move up the plan?” This cryptic question left viewers on edge, wondering if the couple is trying to cover up the murder or protect their daughter. Their actions only add to the growing sense of unease.

Perfect Family: Episodes 5-6

by starrygazer

 

Is our protagonist really under threat from her parents? Or is she being seriously gaslit and used as a pawn to trap her parents for a mistake made in the past? Our heroine’s mind is becoming more fragile by the second (I hope she will survive this!), and this week’s installment continues with a ton more questions and no answers. Will we ever get to the bottom of what’s going on?

 
EPISODES 5-6

 

Our story picks up with Sun-hee chasing after someone who looks like Soo-yeon (from behind) walking away from her. Sun-hee runs into traffic to try and catch up to “Soo-yeon” and is nearly hit by a big black van. Hyun-woo pushes her out of the way but ends up bumping his head, and they both end up in the emergency room. Hyun-woo points out that the car didn’t break; it accelerated, feeding Sun-hee’s already shaky mindset that her parents are out to get her. When Dad arrives at the hospital, both Sun-hee and Hyun-woo notice him balling his fists; is this because Sun-hee survived – or is this because he knows who did this? I’m leaning towards the latter.

Back at home the police arrive to ask about the “hit and run” in the same set up as last week — Sun-hee is the rabbit in the headlights in between Mum and Dad while the police sit opposite. Dad places a warning hand on the back of Sun-hee’s neck making her (and me) very uncomfortable — is that a warning to watch what she says, or a misguided protective gesture? The police tell Dad the van came from his company and was rented in his name. Poor Sun-hee looks totally freaked out and Dad asks the police to leave. The police later find out it wasn’t Dad driving. And so the list of new questions starts: How did the police know if the accident wasn’t reported? Even if Dad has done questionable things, is he being set up? If Mum and Dad were really trying to kill Sun-hee they would have done it already; it’s bothering me that we keep getting pointed in this direction with no clarity.

 

Following the police visit, Dad receives a phone call from Granny informing him of Sun-hee’s visit to her last week. Dad is not happy. He goes home and trashes Sun-hee’s room to find the photo. Sun-hee falls apart and asks all the questions she has: What happened at Kyung-ho’s house? Who is the boy in the picture? Why is Soo-yeon’s stuff in Dad’s car? Sun-hee begs her parents to answer because she’s scared of them (she doesn’t want to believe it, but it does look bad). Dad’s answer wasn’t what I was expecting. He tells her he’s scared of her because she… and Mum cuts him off. What happened? Why isn’t anyone explaining anything?! Argh this is so frustrating!

Sun-hee decides to reach out to her “relative” and ask him instead. When Sun-hee meets him and asks him about a boy in their family, he asks what her parents said and then changes the topic to how a lot of strange things are happening around her. Is she okay? Can somebody anybody answer a question in this show please; we need some answers! This “relative” does disclose he is not actually a relative. He is DETECTIVE CHOI HYUN-MIN. Detective Choi says he lied because her parents pleaded with him to — he claims to have known Dad for a longtime and he thinks Dad has a hidden side to him. Detective Choi says Dad used to be a prosecutor and uses his power to cover things up. Then he tells Sun-hee that it was her parents’ real son who died.

 

Then Detective Choi tells Sun-hee about a huge kidnapping and arson case that happened thirteen years ago — it was all over the news and Dad was the prime suspect, but someone unrelated to the case was arrested and now all traces of said case have disappeared. Now it’s Detective Choi’s time to turn creepy when he says: if Sun-hee dies he could pin it on Dad and make him pay for his crimes. But then Detective Choi back pedals. He says he wants to protect Sun-hee, and that she shouldn’t talk to other detectives — just trust him as who knows when a bigger authority will step in and cover up what’s happening now up just like the arson case. Then Detective Choi says he’s sorry but he’ll arrest Dad: Sun-hee’s parents owe him since they stole his child from him. What?! Wait just a minute — are they kid-snatchers now? It is so confusing having more loose ends turning up at the halfway point of this show. What is Detective Choi’s actual goal? (Because I don’t trust this dude.) And who’s this “bigger authority”? (Yet more questions!)

Mum is waiting for Sun-hee when she gets home and wants to chat. Mum tells Sun-hee that the boy in the photo was her older brother; he died in a fire before they brought Sun-hee home. This is obviously a painful memory for Mum, and she says she regrets not dying in the fire trying to save him. (Is this why Dad was hesitant when they went to pick up Sun-hee at the orphanage?) Mum asks Sun-hee to trust them and they will protect her, and this prompts Sun-hee to ask Mum directly what happened when she went to Kyung-ho’s house. Mum tells her Kyung-ho was still alive when she got there and told her to leave as his parents would be home soon, and that Sun-hee did nothing wrong. Mum had picked up Sun-hee’s belongings and left, and on her way out she saw what we assume to be his parents’ car arrive. (So why on earth did things end up the way they did?!) Just then Dad comes in and hands Sun-hee a brochure for a school abroad and says she should go and they will follow her soon. It was always the plan, but Mum and Dad are moving things up. Was this the plan they were talking about last week? Who are they running away from? (More questions.)

 

A very unsettled and doubtful Sun-hee is alone in her room and decides to look up the arson case Detective Choi told her about. As suspected, all news coverage and websites have been wiped, but why and how? After receiving a message from Hyun-woo saying he went to the police station and reported the texts and they didn’t come from Soo-yeon’s phone — Sun-hee is even more on edge. (Hold the phone — he went to the police station and that’s what he reported?)

Sun-hee hears some unsettling snippets of conversations outside of her parents bedroom — especially Mum’s use of the words “Blood is the problem, they need to kill quickly.” Sun-hee has also found peanut powder in the kitchen at this point — she’s severely allergic and right now her levels of paranoia/suspicion are going through the roof. (Whether her paranoia/suspicions are justified or not — we just don’t know at this point.) When Mum comes into her room with food and tries to spoon feed her with the trademark creepy smile, Sun-hee knocks the spoon out of her hand and rushes out of the house.

Taking shelter from the rain, Sun-hee shakily calls Hyun-woo who tells her to stay where she is, and that he’s on his way. But Sun-hee is being watched from the shadows, and being on high alert she runs away and ends up at some traffic lights. As Sun-hee turns around she is shockingly pushed into oncoming traffic and hit by a car. Hyun-woo hears the sirens as he is buying an umbrella and looks to see where they are headed. He happens to see a hooded figure he recognizes running in the opposite direction and jumping into a taxi. Dad shows up (looking for Sun-hee?) and exchanges pleasantries with Hyun-woo until Dad gets a phone call to go to the hospital because Sun-hee was in an accident.

 

At the hospital, Dad is called to talk to two detectives (fun guest appearances by L and Kim Do-hyun). Meanwhile, Mum is being asked by the hospital staff about Sun-hee’s allergies, and she tells them about the peanut allergy. When Hyun-woo enters the hospital room, Sun-hee regains consciousness and starts screaming. Mum had come into the room and asked how she was still alive and started to throttle Sun-hee. Was this a dream, or reality?! Meanwhile, the detectives are showing Dad the black box footage of the car that hit Sun-hee. They suggest she was pushed, and Dad is being tight-lipped and not saying anything. Again – why?

When Sun-hee finally calms down she calls over Hyun-woo and within earshot of Mum, Dad, and the two suspicious detectives, she asks Hyun-woo to save her because Mum and Dad are trying to kill her. Then she passes out. The next day Sun-hee wakes up and Mum is asleep lying next to her holding her hand. Sun-hee apologizes saying she said some weird stuff and it was just a bad dream. Sun-hee calls Detective Choi when she’s alone and asks him to save her, and he promises to meet her when she can. Interestingly enough, Detective Choi is looking at the black box footage from Dad’s car of Soo-yeon running away in the wasteland. Why and how does Detective Choi have that? Was it Dad in the car or Detective Choi? How far would he actually go to stitch Dad up? This is all so confusing!

The released stills depict a tense atmosphere between Sun Hee and Soo Yeon. Sun Hee, who is bound and unable to move, has a sad expression on her face, while Soo Yeon, who has a menacing look on her face, grabs Sun Hee by the collar. Additionally, part of Soo Yeon’s wig has come off, revealing her hair and leaving viewers wondering what might have happened to her.

 

 

When Soo Yeon visits Sun Hee, she threatens her and accuses her of trying to kill her. Sun Hee is bewildered by Soo Yeon’s inexplicable words and is paralyzed by fear, unable to do anything but deny the accusations.

 

The two then engage in a fiery argument over the death of Park Kyung Ho (Kim Young Dae). The unresolved mystery surrounding Kyung Ho’s murder and the subsequent fire at his house heightens the suspense. It remains to be seen what Soo Yeon seeks from her encounter with Sun Hee and what the ultimate fate of the two characters will be.

The production team of “Perfect Family” stated, “As we enter the latter half of the series, the truth about Kyung Ho’s death will gradually be revealed. The story will not be depicted in a simple manner; instead, it will unravel the complex relationships of the characters involved in the incident in an intriguing way.”
