A new Korean drama takes the Ozark formula and makes its main character even more desperate.

We still need to see more of the steps that lead up to that point, and also the deal that he inevitably has to make to save his skin. In the meantime, a cartel strongman named Gwang-cheol (Park Hee-soon) is looking for the van, as well as the men and money inside. Sure, but Jung Woo does a great job of showing Dung-ja’s despondency, then his manic desperation to cover things up so he can keep the money. When he walks back to the van, he not only sees two dead bodies but a sack full of money. And the professor he paid off was just arrested; the money he needed for his son is gone. But even more people die because of money.” The man in the sack is shoved into a hole the other men dug, and dirt is shoveled on top of him.

A man is always desperate for something. Money or power, we all have our weaknesses. In "A Model Family," drug dealer Ma Kwang-chul explains that there is ...

However, after the deal was completed, the messenger put Kwang-chul in a difficult position when he asked him to get rid of Professor Park. For sentimental reasons, Kwang-chul didn’t want any harm to come to Professor Park. He wanted to protect Park and his family at all costs, and thus he decided to go against the messenger itself to protect Professor Park. There was one more reason for this betrayal. Professor Park, on the other hand, had hidden a portion of the stolen money, the same amount that he took to the laundry guy to turn the black money into white. The messenger of the Sangseon Ring was a corrupt police officer who worked for the Special Investigations Units. The leaders of the cartel had ordered him to get rid of Hwang Yong-soo for betraying them, and thus, through his sources, the messenger found out Yong-soo’s whereabouts. Hence, we could speculate that the leaders of the Sangseon Ring agreed to deal directly with Kwang-chul, and Kwang-Chul’s men or someone else from the cartel contacted Professor Park to distribute the drugs once again, thus creating a new plan of action for the Yongsoo Ring that was now being controlled by Kwang-chul. The stories of these two characters would continue in “A Model Family,” Season 2, and it would be interesting to find out whether Park would ever be able to free himself from the shadows of a drug lord. Kwang-chul believed that Professor Park had that desperation that he needed in his delivery guy who wouldn’t betray him, and in addition to that, Professor Park had a family for which he cared the most. In the salt flat fires, the homeless man died along with the messenger, and soon Kwang-chul contacted the leaders of the Sangseon Ring to deal with them directly. Choi Kang-jun, on the other hand, wanted to double-cross his brother and bring the money to the messenger so that he would be able to take over the business and kick out Yong-soo, who never respected his efforts. Kwang-chul warned Professor Park never to stab him in the back, or he would lose his entire family, and thus Professor Park followed all his orders with sincerity. Then, he brings the SUV and the dead bodies to his house in Yongbong village, where he cleans the car and buries the dead bodies in his backyard. Professor Park is in desperate need of money, but more than that, he wants to protect his family, and for that, he is willing to do anything. He is convinced by his school friend and fellow professor, Byeong-gu, to bribe Professor Kim, son of the director of the Korea University Foundation, to get a promotion. It is these two prominent characters, Kwang-chul and Professor Park, that make “A Model Family” one of the best Korean series of 2022.
