The Family of Laughter 1 is one of the classic horror films that has captured the attention of audiences across various age groups. In Vietnam, Parts 1 and 2 of the film have received widespread acclaim and affection, particularly with the second installment introducing the “sassy” character that audiences adore and find humorous. Among them, the character Heri (played by Jin Ji Hee) has garnered significant fanfare, alongside a memorable line that has become iconic.
In The Family of Laughter 1, Heri’s famous line that “shakes” the audience is “The person I hate the most,” specifically aimed at the character Shin Ae and the other character Se Kyung. Whenever there’s a mention of just this young girl, Heri consistently refers to both as the “most hated person” and “the little hated one.” For regular viewers of The Family of Laughter 1, this line has become legendary and even transcended the confines of the film.
However, in the original Korean version of The Family of Laughter 1, this line holds a different meaning. In the original dialogue, Heri uses the term “폐물” (which translates to “garbage”) with a more sensitive connotation, relating to the situation of “a bomb.” Heri’s use of this term actually refers to a past event that is significant to the character. The character’s evolution throughout the series adds to the emotional depth of the narrative.
In an episode of The Family of Laughter 1, viewers witness Heri’s journey of growing up. During this time, Heri’s mother is quite worried about her daughter, who is still not speaking, despite being constantly surrounded by comfort. Mr. Lee Soon Jae appears, bringing more shocking actions that include the “bomb” directly in front of Heri. Seeing Mr. Soon Jae’s understated actions, Heri takes the opportunity to humorously respond, leading to a small argument between the two.
In the ensuing conversation, the two characters frequently mention the term “bomb,” which leads to Heri becoming silent again, and this adds to the overall comedic effect of the series.

Although it is a tragic moment within The Family of Laughter 1, when the film was screened in Vietnam, this detail was modified for a more suitable interpretation. Instead of retaining the original meaning of the term, Heri switched to speaking Vietnamese, saying “The person I hate the most,” which became the most shocking line throughout the series.
This information has recently captured the audience’s interest, especially with a TikTok account named tienghanthucchien that accumulated over 800,000 views in just one day. While the series may have concluded a while ago, The Family of Laughter 1 remains beloved by Vietnamese audiences, who continue to rewatch and even search for hidden details that few are aware of.
Audience Comments:
– The intensity of the dialogue truly resonates, becoming a lasting symbol.
– The emotional depth of Heri’s character is commendable.
– For those who watch the original version, it may feel different. Vietnamese audiences are accustomed to the dubbed version.
– Despite the film’s flaws, both parts are still enjoyable, while the third part may not be as strong.
