A Grandfather’s Surprise: Meeting Grandchildren He Never Knew

About Family follows the story of Ham Moo Ok, the owner of a popular dumpling restaurant called Pyungmanok, who discovers a family he thought he had lost. Played by Kim Yun Seok, Ham Moo Ok believed his family line had ended when his son, Ham Moon Seok (portrayed by Lee Seung Gi), became a monk. However, he soon finds himself living with grandchildren he didn’t know existed, sparking both chaos and joy in his life.

In the character posters, Kim Yun Seok brings humor to his role as Ham Moo Ok, who has a soft spot for alcohol. A lighthearted scene shows him happily dozing off in front of a soju bottle, capturing his cheerful spirit. In a memorable line, he says:

“Moon Seok, this is the best birthday gift of my life.”

This playful moment sets the tone for Kim Yun Seok’s first comedic role, which promises to be full of laughter and touching moments.
