The Perfect Family is most certainly above to crowd. Intriguing.
The Perfect Family is a well written Suspense Thriller Drama that may leave you breathless, similar to Atypical Family.The Story
The Perfect Family is a brilliant drama, my kind of story. Hopefully the story does not collapse along the way. It is about two girls who use to be best friends. Something tragic happened to one of the girls and the misfortune of one appears to be the fortune of the other. Or is it? The details given by me must be sparse here, lest it ends up being a spoiler, the way the story is writing. The Internet is ablaze about this drama. The Perfect Family has invoked much thought and conversation all around.
The story is a contrast between someone in whose life nothing goes right with someone who has everything a person could want. Who is better off? One has a loving doting family, teen popularity, riches, opportunity, and a boy who truly loves her. The other has none of this, but whose life should this be? Was the trajectory incident the fault of the one? Not really. Should it be the guilt of the other to own? Probably. The girls reunite as teens and that is where the story begins. The Perfect Family would be a perfect Watch-Party drama.

How the story is written is important
The Perfect Family has a unique way to tell its story. One can tell that this story comes from a very complicated mind. Normally, I can take the facts presented after three episodes of a drama and tell you in a write-up exactly where this story is going. That is impossible with the story The Perfect Family. Its writing style is layered and complicated and I will need to write a spoiler follow-up just to keep it straight in my own mind. This story of The Perfect Family also is compelling and profound, invoking much deep thoughts around the issues presented.
The drama The Perfect Family is written in reverse chronology. You get the foreboding end of the story in the first four minutes of action. This is a flash-forward scene foreshadowing what is to come. This is a writing technique that is not often used and less so in Korean dramas. Using this technique throws the viewer into a quandary about the characters, because you have not yet grown an attachment to these characters. However, you are immediately drawn into caring about their fate.
Next, the writer layers the action like an onion, to establish how the foreboding opening incident happened. In continuous motion, the writer gives you the opening scene several times from several different points of view of each of the players involved. This keeps you in your chair waiting for the total reason why this foreboding outcome occurred, as you continue to establish a relationship with these characters. The writer is using foreshadowing, as the writer gives you portions of the complete puzzle, spoonfuls at a time. This is how the story is accomplished, but what is the true story?
The Perfect Family is such a profound Korean drama. I thought that the Korean drama Atypical Family was profound, but this is too. Whether it is your taste, is another story. However, is it profound? Yes.
(My mind is reeling like it was when viewing the drama Atypical Family)
There is a stacked cast in the drama ‘The Perfect Family’. The Perfect Family reunites the two principle leads of the Korean Drama ‘Forbidden Marriage’, Kim Min-ju and Kim Young-dae. While Forbidden Marriage was a RomCom, The Perfect Family is a Suspense Thriller.

An Intriguing Storyline with Perplexing Plot-Twists, Even with Some Plot Holes
I'd been eagerly waiting this drama with high expectations, and I can say it was worth the wait.To start, the acting was magnificent. The casting was great, especially Yoon Se Ah and Kim Byung Chul (aka Sky Castle couple), with excellent chemistry. The rest of the cast did a great job too.
As for the story, I enjoyed it, despite a few plot holes (like how Hyun Woo knew Su Yeon’s other phone number, or the sudden friendship between the cop and Hyun Woo.) The plot twists were truly shocking with unexpected turns in every episode that kept me hooked. Sometimes, I was so blown away that I couldn’t even come up with a theory about what might happen next. The ending was a bit weak, but it wasn't a total disaster.
The music was also really cool. It used classical instruments that went perfectly with the story and made it feel really elegant. I loved that.
Overall, I found this drama to be highly enjoyable. Even though some small details were left unresolved and the ending felt a bit lacking, it was definitely worth watching.
