Kyung Sook's Father

Kyung Sook's Father (2009)

EndedScripted showDrama, Comedy, Family

With Jung Bo Suk playing an irresponsible, selfish prick of a father leaving his family to save his bacon during the Korean War, and super-talented Shim Eun Kyung playing his daughter Jo Kyung Suk, this 4 episode special mixes very dark and wicked comedy with tragedy in such a breezy, eclectic way that you wonder if you're really watching a Korean TV Drama, particularly considering how polished all this looks. Family love during the Korean War has never been this intelligent. Nor this funny
