I'm usually not a fan of K-drama, but for this I made an exception.
"21st Century Family" (Korean title: 21세기 가족) is basically a Korean version of ABC's "Modern Family" and pretty funny.

"21st Century Family" (Korean title: 21세기 가족) is basically a Korean version of ABC's "Modern Family" and pretty funny.
It features
that wild old guy with the nice (fake) hair from those health insurance
ads
as the
Jay (wealthy,
conservative, cranky grandpa figure) and enough real humor to keep you
interested. Of course there's the
hot stay-at-home mom
(aka Claire) with the childish husband (aka Phil) and the 1-son-2-daughters mix
(dumb boy, hot slut daughter, smart daughter), and of course the grandpa married
a much younger hotter woman (aka Gloria), but instead of the gay son there's
an ugly slut daughter, though I
would definitely do her don't get why she's ugly
and her brother who basically is a manchild that still lives at home and despite
his heart of gold fails at every job interview.
I like American Modern Family,
and I like this one too. The plot is different of course but still pretty funny.
I like it because it's so unlike normal Korean melodrama.You'll forget that what
you're watching is a Korean drama, at least based on the standard fare of melodrama and romance. Or, it will make you think that Koreans aren't so
different from "us" after all. And isn't that what it's really all about?
