Graceful Family has fun with its makjang genre. There’s deep-state-worthy technology, revenge, mystery, low-key romance, adultery, filial duty, horrible parents, good parents—all wrapped up in a glamorous, decadent package.
I think it helps that the drama is pretty self-aware of the conventions and leans into them while using the leads as a mouthpiece for the audience to point out the ridiculousness of it all. I legit love this so much more than I thought I would.

Graceful Family | Ep. 10 Our ship is pulling away from the dock. Without a doubt, at least one heart is fluttering.

As much as I love watching Seok Hee flout convention, it’s awfully charming to see glimpses of genuine shyness.
