JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Family X Melo' broke the highest ratings record by giving viewers a big laugh with the ending of Ji Jin-hee and Son Na-eun's 'War of Byeon' and Son Na-eun and Choi Min-ho's excitement-filled 'Umbrella Return'. (Provided by Nielsen Korea, 5.3% nationwide and 5.4% in the Seoul metropolitan area based on paid households)

In the fourth episode of 'Family X Melo', which aired on the 18th, Byun Moo-jin (Ji Jin-hee) launched a love offensive, but her daughter Byun Mi-rae (Son Na-eun) responded with an iron wall defense, adding fun to the play. Mujin tried to express her constant affection for Geum Ae-yeon (played by Kim Ji-soo), but the future completely blocked her. Even if Mujin tried to tempt him to buy Korean beef, ask him on a weekend date, or win favor with an electric chicken, Mirae repeatedly failed to make Mujin's attempt. Even when she caught a cold, the future took care of her before Mujin, hindering the restoration of the relationship.

The highlight of the broadcast was the childish competition between Mujin and Mirae to present a bouquet of flowers to Ae-yeon. Mujin, who prepared statis symbolizing `eternal love', and Mirae, who chose red roses, which means 'fierce love', ran an ultra-thin race to deliver a bouquet of flowers to Ae-yeon first. The childish competition between the father and daughter, who rode bicycles and electric kickboards, brought viewers a lot of laughter. In addition to bouquets, Mujin and Mirae had an even more interesting confrontation by launching a barrage of materials with luxury bags and large refrigerators.



But the smoke was in the police station in all these situations. The owner of the meat restaurant, who had been flirting with Ae-yeon in the past, tried to vent his anger to Ae-yeon out of spite, but rather got caught up in the assault case by Ae-yeon. The way Ae-yeon responded strongly to the owner of the meat restaurant evoked new emotions in Mujin and Mirae. Mujin conveyed her heart to her daughter, Mirae, saying "Stop now and live a life without any energy", and Mirae eventually accepted her father's heart in tears.

After that, Mirae tried to suppress the tears alone, but was soon found out by Nam Tae-pyeong (Choi Min-ho). Taepyeong put an umbrella over Mirae in the rain and showed consideration for her.



'Family X Melo' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 p.m. on JTBC.
