Description:

Kyung Sook's Father is a highly polished four-episode Korean drama special that brings a hit stage play to the television screen. Set during the turbulent era of the Korean War, this series offers a uniquely intelligent and funny look at family love under extreme circumstances. The plot centers on an irresponsible, selfish prick of a father, played by Jung Bo Suk, who abandons his family to save his own bacon when the war breaks out. Left behind is his daughter, Jo Gyung Suk, brought to life by the supertalented Shim Eun Kyung. This brilliant adaptation masterfully mixes very dark and wicked comedy with deep tragedy in an eclectic, breezy way that will make you question if you are watching a typical Korean TV drama. Kyung Sook's Father is a must-watch for those seeking a sharp, witty, and beautifully produced narrative about survival and complicated family bonds.
