It's a solid story and a brilliant cast...What is the reason for the original novel?

[Anchor]
Recently, movies based on novels have been released one after another.

The Dutch author's best-selling film, The Ordinary Family, which features a spectacular cast, will also meet with audiences this week.

Reporter Kim Seung-hwan reports.

It's a story about two brothers and a couple who watched CCTV footage of their children's crimes falling apart.


through delicate emotional changes of famous actors
The tense description keeps the audience from taking their eyes off the screen.

[Seol Kyung-gu / Starring 'The Ordinary Family' : If one actor gets a little twisted, the scene will all collapse if you don't focus, so I think we were very focused on each other.]

[Kim Hee-ae / Starring "The Ordinary Family" : I hope people who can recognize me after seeing that I filter everything that I can't see, the number of cases, and everything....]

Based on Dutch author Herman Koch's novel "The Dinner," it is considered a favorite subject of directors enough to make this the fourth film.

[Jinho Heo / Director of "The Ordinary Family" : I think there were a lot of problems that could be dealt with (in the original) like the various problems that our society has.]

As such, movies with original novels have recently been meeting with audiences one after another.

As characters who express a cross-section of society breathe in a tight narrative, fiction is an attractive option for directors.

[Jang Geon-jae / Director of 'Because I Hate Korea' : (In the novel) I sympathized with the main character's 'fatigue' and then 'anxiety'.

[I think that's what made me resonate]

However, the key is to show meticulous directing and acting that will satisfy existing novel fans who already know the story.

[Eon-hee / Director of How to Love in the City] Even if the character is strong in words, there are facial expressions that look like that. [I tried to catch those things through the movie]

With the recent box office performance of the original novel not very satisfactory, attention is being paid to whether "The Ordinary Family," in which the star director and actors are in sync, will live up to my name.
