In the Special Training Battalion, emotionless human weaponry Young-su is trained to manipulate minds. When newborns Ji-hoon and Ji-woo arrive, Young-su escapes with them and Chul-hee, who loves her, aided by Kang-sung. The five form a family in Kumsu City, but outraged by local crimes, they use their special abilities to fight evil.

Our take

Directed with flair by Kim Sun and Kim Gok, twin directors and rising stars in genre cinema, Family Matters is a delightful mix of dark comedy, suspense, and action. In this twist-filled story, written by Kim Jungmin (Hush), an unusual family dives into vigilantism, raising the question: what truly binds us, beyond blood ties? The series features a prestigious cast, including Bae Doona (Kingdom, Sense 8) and Ryoo Seung-bum (Moving, The Berlin File)
