The Reputable Family (Korean: 명가; Hanja: 名家; RR: Myeongga; lit. "Noble Household") is a 2010 South Korean television series starring Cha In-pyo, Han Go-eun,[1] Kim Sung-min, and Lee Hee-do. It aired on KBS1 from January 1 to February 21, 2010, on Saturdays and Sundays at 21:40 for 16 episodes.
The historical drama revolves around the Choi (or Choe) family, a famous clan based in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province. After the death of the head of their family, Choi Jin-lip during the second Manchu invasion of Korea (which ended in humiliating defeat for the Joseon Dynasty), his grandson Guk-seon vows to reclaim the honor of his clan. The Choi family must overcome obstacles and hardships both in their hometown Gyeongju, and in Hanyang (present-day Seoul).[2][3]
Many of the scenes were filmed at the Korean Folk Village in Seoul. The series failed to attract many viewers, receiving an average rating of 10.9%. But it was recognized as a well-made drama among critics.[4]
