It's amazing

Seriously it is really good. Plot twists, character development everything is amazing. . Just watch it. Btw, it's more realistic than usual Kdramas which are melodramatic.

Good Enough
PennyReviews20 October 2019
" Graceful Family " was enjoyable. The family drama was solid and there were enough twists and intrigues to keep things interesting. The performances were pretty decent too. Probably the best part of the drama was the characters. Sure, some of them were cliche evil characters (see the stepmother) but overall the main ones were strong. The clash of the two main ladies was well orchestrated too. However, the male lead was overshadowed and his story had only some screen time towards the end of the drama. Also, the romance, although subtle, it was not necessary as it didn't really have time to progress. Finally, the ending was pretty good. So, overall, seven out of ten.

Riveting (if Unrealistic) Criminal Drama
nishera18 June 2021
For a ridiculous story about a ridiculous family and their ridiculous, over-the-TOP (il)legal team...this one sure does a good job of A) making the outlandish seem possible, and B) making it IM-possible to look away. Featuring a slew of truly despicable (yet believable) characters, who treat wealth as a license to do whatever they want and corrupt the system...you will be gunning for all of them to get their comeuppance (and they do).

Every time I sat down to watch this show, I was riveted. The characters all have so much dimension, and the ride never slows down. And if you love fierce, intelligent women (whether goodies or baddies), you will be blown away by the powerhouses in this film. The ending was also exceptionally satisfying and well executed, with no loose ends.

In short, if you go for murder mysteries /corporate or criminal dramas, you should give this one a go. Highly Recommended!

LGBTQ INCLUSIVE: Yes. Transgender character and gay community themes.

Captivating Drama!
morebon21 October 2019
Fabulous murder-mystery, crime drama! Im Soo Hyang and Lee Jang Woo's performance was extraordinary. I initially tuned in to the series because of Soo Hyang (she's my fav), but I have to say, the first-rate performance by Bae Jon Ok (villainess Je-kook, MC group leader) kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the series. Fantastic narrative--cheers to the writers, cast and crew. Brilliant! Loved it!

Overall good.

This drama is awesome!. It's a balance of crime, drama, mystery, and a little bit of comedy to lighten up the story a little bit. Overall, it's something you'd want to watch because it's that heave on the drama but more on mystery and no gore scenes like killing.

Absurd Family
lmerana18 October 2019
I got really annoyed while watching the show. There are so many villains, my heart is about to explode. The secret of each member is absurd. To have the TOP agency is ridiculous. I wonder if there's really a thing like that in Korea that manages rich people's household. I also didn't like the ending for the director of TOP and the overall acting of the female lead.

Problematic
Park_Min5 May 2023
The premise of this "top" team is absurd and to make this story a functional and coherent one with such a premise would be a monumental task which this drama obviously failed to achieve and ended up being trashy. There's a lot of mystery going on but this one was the bad kind of mystery, not really a proper mystery anyway. Everyone slipping all the time, the culprits were kinda obvious, and the revelations were lame. Everything was over explained as if the viewers were toddlers. The flashiness and pazaz can be easily classified as cringe. Speaking of which, Lee Jang Woo throughout his entire acting career seems to be a very reliable cringe magnet, so no surprise here.
