By   |  Oct 10, 2024

‘A Normal Family’ (보통의 가족) is a 2024 South Korean drama directed by Hur Jin-Ho.

Based on the novel ‘The Dinner’ by Herman Koch, the film centres on two wealthy families who meet for dinner to discuss and decide how to handle a violent crime committed by their children. The cast includes Sul Kyung-Gu, Jang Dong-Gun, Kim Hee-Ae, and Claudia Kim.

Synopsis: Jae-wan is a successful lawyer who is hired to defend a wealthy executive’s son who intentionally killed a man and severely injured the man’s daughter. Jae-wan’s younger brother, Jae-gyu, is a principled paediatrician who prioritizes his patients’ health over personal gain and profit. The brothers and their wives meet monthly and enjoy luxurious meals at high-end restaurants, but when they learn of a violent crime committed by their teenagers, it challenges their moral values and changes the tone of their usual dinner discussions. As the situation escalates, their seemingly close brotherly bond starts to fade. [Source: Wikipedia]
