The similarity between the three siblings in Cha family is they find their dad naggy, and blatantly ignores his concern for them. Little did they know that they broke their dad's heart over and over again, and end up he throw a legal suit at them, demanding monetary compensations for all the time and effort he spent on bringing them up. At first I could not understand why Mr. Cha (father of the three siblings) sued his own children, and when the answer was revealed, though the method being dramatic, it was his last bid in bringing his children back together, to understand the importance of being a family.
What I really like about this drama is it makes us ponder: are we taking our parents and siblings too much for granted? Have we not realise that our parents are getting old, and our careers (studies) are not everything? This drama struck a chord in me because I lost my great grandfather to cancer, and when the Cha siblings finally realised that their dad was diagnosed with terminal stage stomach cancer, the feeling of fear and lost was so accurately portrayed by each of the siblings.
What Happens to My Family may be long (53 episodes), but each episode will have you wanting for more, because each ingredient ( laughter and tears) are in right proportion, there is no overdose of sweetness or lingering sadness. And the main message conveyed is that life goes on no matter what happens, and our family is our best support.
Strongly recommended drama if you have a long holiday.
