Part one: Plot analysis of [Dubbed]Shattered Family, A Father's Support

[Dubbed]Shattered Family, A Father's Support revolves around the school’s annual research expo. Everyone was hoping to win the Science Competition Top Prize. Justin and Clara were no exception.

The conflict between the two started from their encounter at the school gate. Clara, who advocates eco-friendly values, decided to ride her bike to school. To accompany his daughter, Clara’s father rode a bike, too. 

At the gate, she ran into Justin and his father, who had arrived in a luxury car for the awards ceremony. This father-son pair had always been unreasonable. Seeing Clara and her father arriving on bicycles, they tried to show off their car. Clara noticed the car looked exactly like the one her father had given to her mother, and she grew suspicious. When Justin saw Clara staring at their luxury car, he immediately started explaining the model to her. Clara was about to say that the car belonged to her father, but her father stopped her. Not wanting a dispute to make them late for the ceremony, her father led her away. Seeing them leave, Justin was furious. He kicked over their bicycles and stomped on them a few times.

Inside the awards hall, the four took their seats. After the host announced that Clara had won the top prize, Justin’s father stood up and objected, insisting the award should only go to his son. He then took out a bank card and said he would donate 20 million to the school to secure the prize. He claimed it was his contribution to education and boasted that money was no object to him.

As soon as Edward saw the card, he recognized it as the one he had given to his wife. He wondered how it ended up in Franklin’s hands. The audience began murmuring, confused about why someone would spend 20 million just to win an award. One woman explained that the prize included a guaranteed admission to Harvard, a prestigious overseas university.

Tempted by the 20 million donation, the principal changed his mind. He asked Clara to step down and invited Justin to the stage. Clara was outraged and told Justin, "You don’t deserve this trophy, and you won’t keep it." Justin’s father then insulted Clara, offering her 500,000 a year to serve as his son’s study companion. Hearing this, Edward could no longer stay seated. He also came to the stage. The argument between the two family started formally.

Part two: Characters introduction of [Dubbed]Shattered Family, A Father's Support

Edward

He is a father who absolutely adores his daughter. At the beginning of the series, because his daughter enjoyed biking to school, he rode along with her. Even when his assistant followed in the car and urged him to get in, he insisted on cycling with his daughter. When she was bullied on stage, he stepped up immediately to protect her.

He is also deeply devoted to his wife. Since their marriage, he had been the one providing for all her daily needs and expenses. On her birthday, he gave her a luxury car as a gift. What’s more, when he found a trace of the wife’s extramarital affair, he chose to believe her until the truth was revealed.

At the same time, he is highly capable in his work. He has a unique understanding of how to run a company. Once his business the top-ranked in the city, he himself has become the wealthiest person in the entire city.

Franklin

He is a locally well-known wealthy man who looks down on the poor and flatters the rich. When he met Clara and her father, he tried to show off his luxury car. At the same time, he values money above all else. He even went so far as to have an affair with Clara's mother for financial gain.

He believes money can buy him anything. When he found out his son didn't win the top prize, he tried to buy it by offering to invest five million in the school. What’s more, once Edward challenged him to a bidding war, he was willing to risk bankruptcy just to save face and win the award.

Episode 4

After Edward went on stage, the principal tried to swipe Franklin's card with a card reader. Unexpectedly, the card was declined, showing that it had been frozen. Edward felt a secret thrill upon hearing this, thinking to himself: "Try to spend my money and steal my daughter's award? Dream on."

Franklin refused to believe his card didn't work and asked the principal to hand him the card reader to try himself. However, after multiple attempts, the transaction still failed. Clara, standing nearby, remarked: "Using a fake card to steal someone else's award? How shameless." Edward also mocked him: "Could it be that this card actually belongs to someone else?"

Franklin and Justin were left speechless with embarrassment on stage. Justin then begged his father, insisting that he absolutely had to win the award. Franklin immediately called his girlfriend, explained the situation, and asked her to transfer 50 million. The girlfriend agreed without any hesitation.

Hearing his wife's voice on the phone, Edward was furious. He treasured his wife and wouldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting her. But now, she had actually cheated on him. Meanwhile, his daughter also began to suspect if the voice on the phone was her mother's. To calm her, Edward gently said: "Before the truth is revealed, don't jump to conclusions."

After hanging up, Franklin started boasting again. He bragged, "All I have to do is open my mouth. Whatever I ask for, my wife will provide." He didn’t feel ashamed about relying on someone else. He even saw it as something to show off.

Episode 5

The wife, who had been financially dependent on her husband for years, learned that her lover needed 50 million and immediately called her husband Edward. She asked why her card was frozen and begged him to transfer 50 million at once. But Edward refused.

Since Edward had put the call on speaker, Franklin suddenly realized that Edward was his girlfriend's husband. Faced with Edward's fierce glare, he stumbled back a step in panic. Yet even then, he showed no remorse and instead accused Edward of staging the phone call as an act.

Just as Franklin received the transfer notification, Edward got an alert about a withdrawal from the company account. Edward instantly realized his wife had embezzled company funds for those two troublemakers. Once the payment was received, the principal immediately called security to expel Edward and Clara.

Seeing his daughter being treated unfairly, Edward decided to invest 60 million in the school to help her win the award. People in the audience began to mock him: “Investing 60 million? Do you think you’re the richest man or something?” Unable to bear the insults aimed at her father, his daughter shot back: “My father is the richest man!” But what responded was the laughter of everyone. So when will people know Edward’s richest man identity? You can watch [Dubbed]Shattered Family, A Father's Support immediately.
