Family Dinner

Successful lawyer Jae-wan and principled doctor Jae-gyu are brothers who seem to have it all. Jae-wan has recently welcomed a new child with his second wife, Ji-soo. Jae-gyu's wife, Yeon-kyung, works as a successful translator while also caring for her mother-in-law, who has dementia. When the two families gather for dinner, they appear to share a close familial bond, but beneath the surface, a subtle tension lingers between them. Jae-wan's daughter from his late first wife, Hye-yoon, and Jae-gyu's son, Si-ho, seem obedient in front of their parents, yet out of sight they indulge in reckless behavior. One evening, while the two families are dining together, Hye-yoon and Si-ho sneak off to drink at a party with friends. Later that night, on their way back, the two assault a homeless man on the street, leaving him severely injured. Yeon-kyung accidentally comes across news footage showing CCTV video of the attack. Shocked to recognize the attackers as Hye-yoon and Si-ho, she considers hiding the truth, but Jae-gyu insists they must turn the children in. Meanwhile, Hye-yoon tells Jae-wan about the incident, pretending it happened to someone she knows. Sensing that she herself is responsible, Jae-wan fears that if the incident becomes public, it will not only tear apart their family but also destroy his career. ^ .mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#bf3c2c)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#bf3c2c)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}"A Normal Family".
