I really enjoyed watching this drama it was funny and there are scenes in which you could laugh. I really liked the story and how they live together and they have a lot of problems and they still try to live a normal life even when people say things behind their back. I really like the story behind it and the message they are trying to convey. I really like the choice of the actors and i think it was well shot. I cant wait for the next episode i really like hwang in yeops acting as well as the other lead i think overall it was good and well executed. I also really like the connection and frienship between them. It is really sweet and cheerful.

"Family by Choice" has its moments, but it doesn't quite hit the mark overall. The show's chaotic energy between the three main characters is what stands out, keeping things lively and unpredictable. The dynamic between them is definitely entertaining, and it's easy to get hooked on their wild, offbeat interactions. On top of that, the romance between the lead couple had me squealing - their chemistry is undeniable, and the heartfelt moments are sweet.

However, despite these fun elements, the show still feels a bit lacking in some areas. The pacing can drag at times, and while there are bright spots, the overall storyline doesn't fully captivate. It's a decent watch, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it could've been more engaging. The potential is there, but the execution left me wanting a bit more. At a solid 6/10, it's worth checking out if you're into romance and a touch of chaos.

I do get that k-dramas, even when they are boring are somewhat comforting! You cannot simply relate to any other drama industry that way, but it happens naturally with k-dramas. The story, characters, actors, everything was good, however I skipped a lot of scenes. They should have wrapped up the story in 10 episodes instead of 16. A lot of scenes seemed stretched. It would have turned out better that way. A lot of people watched this drama because of Inyoup but if we do a comparison, True Beauty had a far better storyline. Inyoup, as expected pulled his character really well and so did the other actors. But the episodes after episode 6 were very much skippable and I couldn't keep watching the whole episode. Given the rating I expected more, but was somewhat disappointed. There are a lot of other kdramas with a much better story and the fact they have lower ratings is very upsetting. Also there was next to none chemistry between the main leads... It seemed rushed and forced.

I started Family by Choice for Hwang In Youp, and I fell for him all over again! His portrayal of Kim San Ha was absolutely breathtaking-his emotions, depth, and presence made me love him even more. Every scene he was in felt real, and I couldn't take my eyes off him!

But beyond In Youp, this drama had everything. The story was an emotional rollercoaster-heartwarming, heartbreaking, and funny in all the right moments. The bond between San Ha, Hae Joon (Bae Hyun Sung was AMAZING), and Joo Won was so touching. It proved that family isn't just about blood, but love, loyalty, and unwavering support.

From powerful performances to stunning cinematography, Family by Choice is hands down one of the best K-dramas of 2024. If you love heartfelt, emotional, and realistic storytelling, this is a must-watch! You won't regret it!

An interesting drama about an unusual family headed by a widowed restaurant owner and his daughter who take in two children after they are both deserted by their mothers. The father of one of the boys also joins the group and the story shows their closeness as children and then due to family circumstances their drifting apart to be reunited later. It is based on a Chinese series "Go Ahead" and follows the original quite closely. It does handle the romance side better but overall I prefer the flow and story and interactions of the original. That does not detract from the fact that this version is still enjoyable and worth a watch.
