Family Ties (Korean: 가족의 탄생; RR: Gajokeui tansaeng; lit. "Birth of a Family") is the second film by South Korean director Kim Tae-yong.[3][4][5] Mismarketed as a slapstick comedy through its promotional posters,[6] the film is actually a generation-to-generation view of two families through love and life.[7][8]
