Familyhood Storyline

Go Joo-yeon (Kim Hye-soo) is a self-centered star actress who has always gotten what she wants: fame, money, and even good-looking young boyfriends. However, now in her 40s and with her acting career going downhill, she wonders whether she should settle down with her secret boyfriend, who is 12 years younger than her. However, the boyfriend, a rookie actor, is only interested in taking advantage of her fame, cheating on her behind her back. Discovering the truth, Joo-yeon is devastated that she has no one who she can truly rely on. So she decides to have someone definite in her life, her own baby. She goes to see an obstetrician only to learn that she has reached menopause. While facing the depressing truth, she comes across a pregnant teenager Kim Dan-ji (Kim Hyun-soo) at the hospital. Joo-yeon makes the offer to Dan-ji that she will adopt the baby at whatever price, and will support her until she delivers. Dan-ji, who needs the money, accepts the offer and agrees to stay hidden at Joo-yeon’s home. When Joo-yeon makes a press announcement of her pregnancy, in vengeance against her ex-boyfriend, who has become a rising star, rumors start to spread about who the father is. She declares that she will be a single mom and her dignified demeanor earns her numerous jobs making her more successful than ever. Dazzled by the new phase in her career, Joo-yeon begins to neglect Dan-ji, but worse, people are now getting suspicious.—subratjain1

Familyhood Movie Reviews

Better Than Real Life

A female celebrity wants to revive her life and career by promising a pregnant teenager that she will adopt the baby after the mother gives birth. In the meantime, Go Joo-Yeon will pretend to be the one who is pregnant.

Sounds far-fetched and ridiculous? Not really. This is just another form of surrogacy. Earlier in the year, a Chinese actress went to the US to have a surrogate mother carry a baby for her. In the end, she changed her mind and left the surrogate mom and husband to hang and dry.

This story is way better because the characters are funny, dramatic, strong-willed, gullible and naive all at the same time. The comedy at the beginning of the film soon gives way to the drama partway through, but it’s done so smoothly that it doesn’t appear awkward.

After all, teenaged pregnancy and responsibility are serious topics. It’s a good change of approach to not make the story funny all the way through.

Good Enough

Familyhood is an entertaining movie that moves the audiance towards the ending. However, the begining was a bit weak. We are presented with an arrogant actress who sees her career coming to an end, her relationship shuttered and her chances of having a family lost. The most, actually, interesting part was the student’s story. The movie starts to offer some solid entertainment after the two women start living together and they form a family. However, it goes back to a weak downhill when the leading lady ignores the girl and focuses on her career. That’s when the best performances are introduced and the movie hits a darker point. The ending, though, was satisfying. And the character development really good. So, seven out of ten.

Laughs and tears.

Starts off with full on laughs and gradually get more serous. Eventually becoming a full on Drama.

This one is worth watching.
