For a manhwa called familyman there really is not much family connections at all, and the story suffers because of it. We are thrown into the thick of a problem, without prior knowledge of how this family functions or operates, and as the plot progresses it doesn't deepen this aspect at all. And you need this if you want to make a heartfelt story involving a family, you need to understand why you are supposed to care. The tone shifts throw you in for a loop, ranging from very shallow comedy, filled with butt jokes to action moments to dramatic scenes. I am all for diversityin tone but it is done so abruptly and without any buildup that you just get whiplash.

At times it feels you have accidentally skipped pages with how the pacing goes, it's as if the author does not know where to take this and is just throwing all the stuff they can think of to the wall. Which ties into my main gripe I have with the story: the absolute absurd amount of melodrama piled onto every chapter.

Like, dude, we get it. We truly do get it. This is a sad situation. You do not need to go through these ridiculous stretches to make it seem as if your comic has a heart.

I honest to god had to walk away in the last chapters because of how damn hard the author tried to make the audience feel a smidge of sympathy for this family.

It is a short read, so it's got that going for it. The art is nice too. But considering the brusque tone shifts, the lackluster plot filled with disasters waiting to happen and the weird pacing, I wouldn't recommend this with good faith to anyone.
