It is a 2021 South Korean Drama.Starring Sung Jun, Lim Ji yeon, Baek Sung hyun, Kim Yoon hye with others.
Ji woo, a wealthy man’s grandson expected a lavish inheritance but received only an antiquarian bookshop. Teaming up with Joong Hee, who fell victim to a scam, they transform the bookshop into an unconventional daytime bar.
Does it sound familiar? Instead of ‘Coffee shop’ it is a book shop. Instead of Barista she is a chef & does go to France to learn. Again, nothing like ‘Coffee Prince’!
He returns from Russia & gradually learns the ropes. His drink ‘Majito’ is the one that casts the spell. Taking life seriously & learning to take care of others around him., his bar ‘Siesta’ teaches him that.
Lim Ji yeon is the usual damsel in distress. After ‘The Glory’ this is a full turnaround. Only once we get a glimpse. She has stolen her mother’s money & run away. Come to Seoul. She is staying at her friends’ place. Baek Sung Hyun is employee at a company.
Her mother arrives & scolds both, her elder brother & a kneeling Lim. Just then, the friend arrives, She gives him a look. If a look could kill, he would be dead!
Recently, in a show the younger sister says, If a glance could kill, my sister would be a serial killer ! ; Her sister is really scary. Beautiful, and scary. ‘My Unfamiliar family’ had many nuggets along the way. We think we know our family, but do we ?
Kim Yoon hye as Seo Ye ji keeps clinging to Ji woo. Due to an unfortunate incident in their childhood, they carry deep scars. As the reviews say, the release of the show was delayed. The subject is dark when seen in recent times.
‘Queen of Tears’ has her brother drowning as a child. It made her tough & stronger. But her mother never forgave her Here, his friend’s mother doesn’t forgive him. Actually, he is made the scapegoat. His entire life gets shadowed by it.
He has fear of darkness. He has to have lights on, while sleeping. Another reason why the bar is open in the daytime.
Gets a bit stretched by the end. Re watching is out of question.
