Worst drama relatives

[dangermousie]

After watching Why Why Love, with its bad father for Mike He, I was thinking about how many of these dramas feature evil relatives. It's extrraordinary. So a little poll. This time with checkboxes :)

Poll The worst drama parent

It's a little disturbing how many options there are for absolutely miserable parents/siblings/other relatives. It's also disturbing that Shin's father in Goong (who I wanted to punch for a significant portion of the series) looks downright loving next to, say, Kurosaki's father. It makes it really hard to choose.

[dangermousie]

I wanted to kill Shin's Dad so badly, because he was such a bastard, but you are right, looking at these? Shin should send his Dad a thank you note!

Mars really has a monopoly on the whole "messed up" thing - pick a category, any category! (But I still love to hate Kaede & Kurosaki's dad, too.)

[dangermousie]

There wasn't a single normal family member in there. Even Ling's stepdad/uncle (by far the best parent of the bunch) stuck him in an insane asylum and straightjacket.

I feel a rewatch coming on.

But they should definitely adopt if they want kids.

[ladysaotome]

Definitely, definitely adopt. The thought of passing on that insanity is scarier than Tong Dao - & I found him downright freaky.

I mean, the only good thing to be said for that genetic pool is that Qi Luo's stepdad was not related to her.

Re: TD. I saw the actor in a small part in another drama. He was being very normal but I freaked!

I haven't seen all of these, but of all I have, the worst is the dad in Bali. It takes a special something to beat your son to near unconscious with a golf club and then act as if nothing had happened. I am glad the secondary lead ran off with his money.

The worst step-sibling/step-mother award goes to Stairway to Heaven, though. That pair were in a class by their own and exuded evil through their very pores.

and then act as if nothing had happened.

What, you mean that doesn't happen daily in the best families?

He really was in a class of his own. (I still need to finish Bali btw, I have only three eps to go, but the prospect of so much angst is daunting).

Though the dad in Silence (most depressing drama ever) also took the evil cake.

That pair were in a class by their own and exuded evil through their very pores.

And bugged out eyes :P

I like the actress in Silence and it goes without saying that I love Vic Zhou, but I've watched so many angsty ones lately I am not sure I can take it. I should check out if it's on jdrams though. Just in case I really need to depress myself.

[dangermousie]

It's on jdramas.

autumn_yaar and myself put it up.

It's really good, but seriously, super angsty. And unlike some silly ott ones, I actually care for the characters in it, which makes it worse.

Seriously, watch The Outsiders. it's really good!

Mars's families just frightens me to the point of no-return. I want to see it so badly and in the same time, it's just too much. Rape? Suicidal? Insanity? What the hell? o_O

Kurosagi's story is pretty messed up too. Goong's relatives (for the royal part) are horrible. Plain and simple.

[dangermousie]

Mars is really really good and is optimistic and sweet and hopeful desite it all. I can think of plenty of depressing dramas, but Mars is not one of them.

Kurosagi's Dad was incredibly horrible. And the entire royal family in Goong should have been drowned.

I worry about these screenwriters, I really do...

[dangermousie]

They must have a fascinating family life!
