I always thought Park Sihoo-ssi’s “Family Honor” is a classic, a family classic.
Even though it was first aired in Korea in 2008, it still has strong relevance and is engaging even to this day. It continues to have tremendous appeal, drawing in audiences, with many getting hooked to that one man with his intense charisma! Park Sihoo-ssi!
After watching “Family Honor” umpteen times, I am still not bored. I am still discovering new things about the drama, especially in the captivating Lee Kangsuk – Ha Dana relationship. A more accurate description of “Family Honor” should be that it is an evergreen family classic.
“Family Honor” is about strong traditions and values that have been passed down from generations to generations in Korea. No doubt over the years, these might have evolved and modernised but hopefully, the spirit behind these values remain steadfast and has not been eroded.
I enjoyed watching and learning the traditional Korean rituals, from birth to marriage to bringing up family to death. The concept of seniority and respect – whether in the office or in family life. And the responsibilities and obligations of family and clan.
In “Family Honor”, these values and traditions revolved around Ha Dana’s grandfather. He was the keeper of traditions, the anchor for his family and yet he also had a certain openness, after a fashion, to adapting to the new. He respected and was respected being a senior and influential member of his clan. He was whom his family looked up to and who rallied the family together as a closely knitted unit. He welcomed his new family members, embraced fresh challenges including rivalry at chess with his new grandson-in-law and taking care of his newborn grandchild while his talented daughter-in-law continued to work.
A family classic would inevitably have love as a central theme. Family love was evident whether in the Ha family or the Lee family. This was the very foundation of “family”. Love, care and concern between husband and wife, among parents and children and siblings. Love was weaved into every sub-plot in the drama.
And don’t you simply love that hate-turn-into-love story between Lee Kangsuk and Ha Dana? This was a classic in itself. “Enemies becoming lovers”. Curiosity aroused, leading to deeper insights into another person’s character, resulting in new discoveries. Pleasing and appealing discoveries that fueled desire for more. Understanding and empathy that pulled at the emotional heartstrings! Slowly turning into love, deep love! The Lee Kangsuk and Ha Dana love story was at the very heart of “Family Honor”. This was what drew the audience, such sweet, sweet love! Classic, enduring love!
“Family Honor” will be returning to Japan in October 2016 on Lala TV. Starting 9 October 2016, I am sure this family classic will once again charm and endear itself to the Japanese audience!
Japanese fans, please watch out for it and give your fullest support to Park Sihoo-ssi! Many thanks!

家庭经典
我一向都认为施厚君的“家门的荣光”,短称“家门”,是一部经典剧,一部家庭经典剧。
虽然首次在韩国播出是在2008年,但到如今它仍具有较强的针对性和巨大的吸引力。许多观众,一旦观看过“家门”都会陷入厚坑,迷上一位魅力十足的男生!施厚君!
虽然看过“家门”N多次了,我仍然不觉得闷或无聊。相反的,我不断地有着新的发现,尤其是李江石-何丹雅的关系线。更准确的描述“家门”应该是一部常青的家庭经典电视剧。
“家门”是关于代代相传的韩国传统和价值观。经过许百年的时间,这些传统和价值观有可能不断的在转变和现代化,但希望,价值背后的精神仍然坚定保留,没有被削弱。
我喜欢观看和学习韩国传统礼仪,从诞生到婚姻,成家到生老病死。无论是在办公室或在家庭生活中的辈分和尊重的概念 。也欣赏对家庭和氏族的责任和义务。
这些价值观和传统围绕着何丹雅的爷爷。他坚持传统,是家人的支柱,但也渐渐把思想开放,适应新时代。他是家族的高级和有影响力的成员,他尊重也被尊重。他是一家之主,受家人尊重,因为他的努力把家人凝聚起来。他欢迎家里的新成员,欢迎外孙女婿下棋的竞争。为了让他的有才华的媳妇继续工作,他接受新挑战,去照顾新出世的孙子。
一部经典的家庭剧难免以爱作为中心主题。在“家门”里,家人的爱是显而易见的,无论是在何氏家或李氏家。爱是“家庭”的基础。互相爱护,关心和关怀 -无论是夫妻,父母与子女或兄弟姐妹之间。编辑把爱编织到剧中的每个情节里了。
妳们是否喜欢李江石-何丹雅的恨转为爱的故事?这本身就是一个经典之作。 “敌人成为恋人”。好奇心驱使,导致更深入地去了解另一个人的性格,造成新发现。有趣和特有吸引力的发现,推动渴望更多的了解和发现。理解和同情拉着情感的心弦!慢慢地变成爱,深深的爱!李江石和何丹雅的爱情故事是“家门”的主题。他们之间的甜蜜爱情吸引着无数的观众!经典不渝的爱情!
“家门的荣光”即将在2016年10月9日在拉拉电视台Lala TV重返日本! 这部家庭经典剧的魅力会再次迷倒日本观众!
日本厚粉姐妹们,请大家关注“家门”,给我们的施厚君妳们一贯的大力支持!感谢!

“Park Sihoo-ssi’s “Family Honor” is a classic, a family classic”, as Nance has entitled her comment. And she is right , because :”A classic is an outstanding example of particular style, something of lasting worth or with a timeless quality, or the first or highest quality, class or rank.”[Wikipedia] Why “FH” is a classic ? It’s because warching it I’ve discovered a differnt world, I’ve discovered the traditional K. family, with its values and traditions, I’ve discovered the power of love, of two persons trying to be together , live together in a happy family, I’ve discovered a wonderful K. actor, Park Sihoo-ssi. “FH” is a classic with timeless quality, it’s an outstanding drama of lasting worth. But most of all of the special appearance of PSH, as Lee Kangsuk, who “brings meaning to our lives, [mine especially] who inspires, who spark a fire , that we carry with us for the rest of our days, who is a pillar of hope, a catalyst for something beautiful>”{Chirag Tulsiani] PSH, as in all his dramas, is very rewarding to be involved with this family classic drama “FH”, the best family drama ever made. That’s why I’m enchated that “FH” will be rebroadcast on the Japanese small- screen in Octotber 2016, being recognized by the Japanes viewers as a real K. family classic, worthy to be reviewed And I wonder if this happens in his native country too!
Classic, never fade! The theme of love, the script of the world, or the real world, or should not be discarded! Themselves, to accept the traditional education, the story of the big family, is colorful, sweet taste or occupy a large proportion of! The ideological education of the family, affects our views, but also the pursuit of happiness! Family, family, love the perfect interpretation, touching everyone, heart, the most soft place! Shi Houjun’s play, to give us a unique feeling, is not over time and the passage of the ha!
Nance’s reflections on Family Honor are so close to those of mine as I raced through my first viewing of this excellent drama series starring our beloved PSH. 54 episodes should rightfully take a while to finish but it was sheer enjoyable experience watching the developing of a sweet enduring love relationship between Lee Kangsuk and Ha Dana against the backdrop of strong Korean culture and rich family traditions that I didn’t mind being sleep deprived for a couple of days. Little surprise then why fans of PSH from Western countries are particularly fond of Family Honor – it leads them into an amazing and fascinating discovery of a culture not so well known to them before. I certainly would want to watch this beautiful family classic many times more. My favorite scene? There are many but the most endearing is surely at the end when Kangsuk gazed fondly from a distance at Dana and their babies in the park and realized he found life. Simply beautiful and moving.
Yes Dorothy, the end of the drama is the quinteseence of the story: Lee Kangsuk has realized that he has found life. But as G.B. Show said :” Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” And life has created a new human being, a new Lee Kangsuk. And the purpose for his life is to be happy with his wife and his children.
Stefania Lupu you are absolutely spot on there. That a new Kangsuk was created and with it the happiness of his own little family when he willingly allowed the old life he led to die is to me the most poignant and touching. Wish more will get to watch and love this beautiful drama, one of Korea’s best!
