Drama Digest

The drama ‘Hang On’ is taken from a famous webtoon. It highlighted the daily struggle of a family of four. As the title speaks itself, the drama shows how one needs to keep going forward in life and talks about unity as a family. The family is also a bit aloof from the rest of the other families where each character is portrayed in a very strange way, differing from each other.

The main story revolves around their son, Jung Shin, who is a college student. Unlike other college kids, he has a secret that he keeps away from his family.

The Feel-Good Part

It has a lot of scenes where one is taken by surprise at the weird and funny moments adding to the entertaining factor of the drama. The story revolves around things that are out of the ordinary and that in itself is interesting for the viewers. The movie was captured theatrically and is eye-catching. The characters are also vivacious and most relatable.

The Disappointing Factor

It can be a little too dramatic at first but one needs to adapt to the style of the drama to enjoy it. There are a lot of scenes where viewers may find the incidences to be a bit ridiculous and overwhelming. The narrative of the storyline can get very abrupt due to the lack of details and depth in the drama.

In-Depth Analysis

The drama speaks in volume as it has all the great character sketches that make it convincing to the viewers. The original webtoon had gained its popularity over the years. We can see the development of additional scenes from its origin.

We also learn that every family has its fair share of secrets. We can also see the contribution of their hard work in the movie that is prominently visible to the viewers.

Star Power
