If you're a fan of the original, than I would keep away or lower your expectations for the reboot. I'm sure it could seem funny for someone who hasn't seen the original, but for anybody that has seen it, like myself, it was quite the let down...

So funny!
danielatala813 December 2018
I haven't watched the original series so I don't know if it's better or worse... however I just love this show- it's funny, and it doesn't shy away from immature humour which is lovely! I also love the fashion, they're dressed ridiculously well for a comedy show.
So basically this show is about a Korean web toon artist that has some popularity in the net due to his stories about his crazy family, fortunately the family is just as crazy as the series he creates. Expect a lot of over the top humour. Although this series doesn't shy away from drama either but it's not the focus of this series, neither does it follow a specific arc... it's just a funny show about the daily life of an artist. The only thing that I do not like, which is a bit nitpicky I guess but every segment of the show ends with the same K-pop song which just doesn't fit the series at all haha. Anyways go watch it if you love slapstick humour with a heart!
I'm also kind of curious as to why no one has rated this series yet! It's just really good! And it's on Netflix so if you have it, watch watch watch!

Extremely Disappointing

Terrible reboot
annecheryc3 July 2020
I don't know why but they decided to change the entire cast which was a terrible idea because now the show is very lackluster. The original is hilarious and the lead and supporting roles do a great job of delivering the jokes this new cast though isn't so great, you can't switch out a funny lead for a guy that's not funny at all, and the storyline sucks, I couldn't get past episode one.
Funny but the original cast was better

Just awful compared to the Original

I watched the reboot on Netflix right after watching the original. And so very disappointed. :( It's bad enough that they entirely changed the original cast, but the people who have replaced the original lead actor and actress. They are both so annoying and doesn't really make me like or want to continue to watch them.
The lead male playing Cho Seok. So many things wrong over there. For one he lacks that authenticity as a human being and instead in his acting, constantly over exaggerate when doing his (childish) personality. It's very hard to ever emphasize with him and dude is just a horrible unappealing actor trying too hard to copy the (original) character. The lead female is also not really refreshingly different but just adopting a similar uninspiring personality.
The storyline and jokes are also not as funny as the original was. It's just desperately trying to rehash the same old fart and poop scenes, but it's somewhat way more predictable and not very creative. I liked how the original series felt more intensely vulnerable and real. Whereas this series just seems more like a poorly made cheap caricature of the original cast..
After watching a few episodes, I already feel bored and not really wanting to go torture myself into continuing to watch. With the original series, it felt there were feelings of genuine relatedness, despite the family being dsyfunctional and the storyline felt magical and original in the best way. This reboot is so disappointing after watching the original series.
Maybe I miss the old cast but I really gave this series a real chance to win me over. But I just can't seem to enjoy watching this. It doesn't compel me to feel deeply for the characters like the original. Instead it just mostly annoys me and why it gets 4 stars and that is actually me being generous, simply because maybe it is just difficult to replicate the original series' s success and my expectations, right before watching this series, was already set high. I gave ten stars to the original series.
Basically if you like me, have already watched the original series. You will likely be disappointed like me to go watch this reboot..not happy at all. :( I only gave it a chance because I was so impressed by the original series. But this reboot version just ruined the whole thing for me. :( TT.

Mine was broken by this awful series
geewhiz4613 May 2023
I love Sung Hoon - he is such a sexy attractive guy. I watched him in "My Secret Romance" and was instantly captivated by his charisma.
Alas - I decided to watch this simply because of my hero.
From the outset it was simply awful - the actors were dreadful, except Sung Hoon of course - and the comedy - hang on - there has to be another word for what this is - it certainly bears no relation to funniness - it was as if a five year old child had written it and a four year old had directed it.
I haven't been so disappointed in a Korean series for many a year.
I keep on wondering why anybody read the script and decided to participate in it. I guess the paycheck is the answer.
Guys - reputation is more important.
Enough said.

The cast really tried. Blame netflix for this disastrous attempt of a sequel
kmhlbeavis26 February 2023
First off Why if netflix was going to do a re-boot 2 years later did they not just extend the original for another 2 seasons? This was the major problem. They picked the wrong cast for this one. They really tried but could not duplicate the original cast. The male actor that played cho seok was too cool didn't look dumb enough like the original. The actress that played Ae-Bong was too sexy and always had her way even when she was mad she looked sexy not like the original one who looked vunlerable and niave and had her own mishaps at the hands of cho seok. The mother was also too sexy as well as ae bong's mother. The father looked to old and the brother didn't look dumb enough like the original. The 2 stars that I gave was one star for the sexy actresses and the other star for the cute little baby. Other than that I really didn't laugh much at all like in the original series. The mother in the original looked really like a mom. They tried but didn't suceed. I really can't recommend this after watching the original. Sorry.
Not worth it

Very disappointed

Warning: Spoilers
I watched the original first season. And everyone of them in the show was extremely natural and funny and very realistic. I couldnt stop laughing from start the end almost every episode ( besides noise episode) and when i opened the reboot... i couldnt find anything To laugh. Characters were not funny, main role actor looks like a model already unrealistic ( original cartoon artist not handsome at all) mother character is not fit in the cast. Father looks like grandfather ( age diffrency) Brothers hair too much comedic, too much push with curly hair and feminen look. Girl friend is more like an evil person. Normally no one should marry with this kind of person. Nothing about cute with her. She is so mean and insulting the Seok in every chance... If she is like that in the beginning i cant imagine how sge would turn out after marriagr. Writers were very good in the first episode... this was not funny and im assuming writers changed... chemistry is not in this cast... no need to change the fiest cast... they were very very good actor and actress. I cant watch this reboot its not funny its uncomfortble, silly jokes... its not landing...
