Ddeonu Apr 07 2026 2:32 am Finally I finished watching this drama. Sorry I just watched it. This drama is quite good for me but there are too many conflicts. Inyeop and Chaeyeon's chemistry is quite good for me. Although in my eyes Chaeyeon still looks a little stiff. In fact, I prefer the chemistry between Haejun and Dal, Juwon's father and Haejun's mother. They look sweet in my eyes hehe.. basically I like this drama. 8/10

X0 Mar 05 2026 12:34 pm It's been a long time since I watched a drama that kept me wanting to watch the next episodes. Soooo good! All couples had great chemistry making me root for them. Added to my favorite kdramas. Will rewatch 100%

irishlevy Nov 16 2025 4:14 pm This drama was so heartwarming. I really love how the juwon’s father took the kids how he and sanha’s fathers teamed up to co-parent the three kids. I don’t understand the moms at all. Sanha’s mother was so selfish. She pushed sanha away and hated him when he was a kid, and then suddenly came back expecting him to do everything she wanted??? I’m glad juwon isn’t afraid to stand up for sanha. And Hyejun’s mother.. she is kind but how could she leave her son and not show up for 20 years? I don’t understand her reason at all. However, Sanha and Juwon are so cute together <33

justafan Oct 14 2025 1:29 am This series gave me good vibes especially the ending. I love it <3

Anon98 Sep 12 2025 8:05 am Just finished watching this drama. I have watched Go Ahead first before this. I must say the role of Kim Sanha in Go Ahead wasn't 100% portrayed in here. It kinda lacks yearning and sadness. He's very much expressive to juwon too. I feel like they could've added 4 more episode in this since I feel like it was really rushed when they became adults. But casting is really good. I will rate this a 7/10.

Laura Sep 04 2025 10:15 pm This drama is a masterpiece . Acting is so natural all leads delivered such a good performance . I became a fan of Chae Yeon after watching beyond the bar & king's affection really she is so natural and Bae Hyun Sang is so natural too its my first time seeing it, he looked youngest as his right age even as an adult , I like how they focused more on family than romance all 5 of them were very understanding and two dads are best dads but really I wish Sangha's dad should have taken legal action against that selfish toxic mother of Sangha , that woman made such a great son 's life a hell, all kids are such good ones.Relationship between male leads are so brotherly . Second lead couple is so cute too.

Laura Sep 03 2025 6:53 am Im still watching ep 9, this is such a heart warming drama very interesting no boring parts, all 3 kids are awesome in their own way. I love their sibling relationship & even though two become a couple later littlerally they have a sibling relationship in chidhood . Haejoon & dad's relationship is the best & 2 boys friendship & brotherhood is amazing . Girl is such a sweetheart. Male lead is so mature than his age sadly he has the most selfish cruel mother so toxic but he has to take care of such a woman who i really not suitable to be a mother at all.

Rob Apr 11 2025 8:50 pm I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I found every episode to be enjoyable and it definitely didn't get bogged down in the middle like what happens to some series. This was definitely a change from all the routine 'dad dies', 'dad ran away', 'dad is a horrible person' and etc. that compose the general rule for kdramas. The only major catastrophe for me was when Dal changed her hair style ;-). My favorite woman's hair style is how my wife wore her hair like Hae Joon's mom and Dal (with the exception that Dal had bangs instead of parted with no bangs). In fact I commented to myself prior to her cutting her hair how much I like her hair and how pretty she was. Oh well that still wasn't enough of a downer to not give it a 100 rating.

ncs Apr 05 2025 10:18 am A very heart warming drama.. Very touched in every episode.. No regret watching.. Hope they won award..

zeyto Mar 19 2025 3:07 pm no because I've seen other Korean adaptions of Chinese dramas before but this one just does not do Justice to go ahead. The female lead was one of the main reasons go ahead stands out among all the others cdramas. She had such a strong personality and i feel like family by choice just leaves it all out. Infact this drama leaves out almost all the aspects of what made go ahead so special and what made me love that show. Its almost like they just tried to recycle a perfectly good show to prove absolutely nothing by making a remake. i was genuinely so excited when it was announced. Going back to the topic of the female lead, i feel like one take away from her character was that no matter the circumstances she always stood strong. Which was by far the most favourite thing about her. She was shown as this girl who wasnt really good at studies but that made other abilities shine even more. She was headstrong, confident, extremely socialable, didnt need no man in her life to help her, had a clear cut vision for her future, and ended up the most financially and emotionally indepedant out of all the other characters. Its almost as if None of that was portrayed off of the female lead in family by choice. Almost like this naive fragile girl that needs her two older brothers to help her at every step of the way. Literally no. Its as if they stripped off every ounce of personality out of her. i understand not everything can be copied word to word into a remake but they left out almost all the things that made go ahead, go ahead. Tan Chan omg they left her out i cannot- what did she ever do to deserve this. Every character in go ahead was so meticulously crafted as to tell such different messages about the life of young adults and they left out the most important character. I cant that alone made me want to quit the show. The part where li jianjian makes a wood craved thing for ling xiao which then in turn literally turns around the trajectory of her life, Where Was That. i feel like that alone was such an important point in the show. For those who dont know in the chinese version the main fl is a sculptor who makes art pieces from wood, not some random pastry shop, That Was Supposed To Be The Younger Brother becuase the reason he becomes a bakery owner is so he can make all the pastries in the world for his little sister and the older brother becomes a dentist because she was always so scared of going to the dentist because Of Said Pastry Obsession. But this was a way the brothers were shown how much they loved and cared for her but yet so differently.

Not even hwang in youp could save the show honestly everyone who loved this show please go watch the original show because it kind of does leave out alot of stuff unanswered and why it happened the way it happened so might answer your questions. honestly this is just a rant but this could honestly been such a hit

dot Mar 04 2025 8:17 am I'm easily bored and often don't have much time for watching dramas, which is why I've left many of them midway; I didn't even finish 8 episodes of "Serendipity Embrace" and 6 episodes of "Soundtrack#2." However, "Family by Choice" didn't feel boring at all. Considering it was compressed from over 40something episodes to just 16, the director and writer did an excellent job with the pacing.

The character was well written, and I especially liked Kim Daewook; if that family is a home, he serves as a strong pillar sustaining it. Park Dal also delivered a great performance, with her voice perfectly portraying a timid high schooler who grows wiser throughout the drama.

If I had to nitpick, I didn't sense the romantic love from the female lead character towards the male lead as much as I Imagined it should be. However, in her role as a part of the family, she definitely nailed it.

Afolabi Tomisin Mercy Mar 02 2025 6:05 pm Like seriously…where exactly should I start from??this drama is so emotional ,passionate and affectionate…the love within that family is so pure and unconditional…I was literarily crying because of the love between Kang Hae joon and his father..they are not even related by blood and the love was there ….especially when he told kang hae joon ‘you don’t have to repay me for raising you…it just happens naturally for parent to raise their children’ this made me cry a lot…yes all characters has performed excellently…but my favorite is still kang hae joon for always laughing when there’s every reason to cry…. And as for my darling Hwang In yeop…I watch this drama because of him actually and he has never let me down…His character too is amazing…I love the way he always look at Yoon Juwon…as if she’s his entire world..they are so cute absolutely… In summary…family by choice taught me that genuine and sincere love can happen in a family even if they are not related by love though it will be rare…lol Well…every one has done well…I appreciate all characters but especially kang hae joon character …I will be waiting for more of your project darling and Park dal ..you are so cute.

Liquette Marie Pierre Mar 01 2025 6:19 am Very beautiful sensitive luminous study of introverted pains...

The art of dealing with difficult subjects with delicacy and light

The acting is at its best well served with beautiful close ups..

Thank You all for such work...

Toxic females Feb 11 2025 3:44 am So many toxic people in this series it makes me dizzy!

Stupid selfish So Hee I hate her. Mom is really bad Han Ha turned out great because mom was gone good riddance. Mom is so toxic and selfish like her kid.

Also hate auntie she’s overcompensating and pushing Hee Joon because she feels guilty she also abandoned her nephew.

Hee Joon mom so selfish as well.

Nabi Jan 04 2025 10:06 pm I'm only on episode 7 but I Love this drama. It is a bit triggering for those who have bad relationships with their mothers (that seems to be the theme) but at the same time, it is also very healing.

Starboy Dec 17 2024 6:03 am Im still with Dr kim sanha..his eyes shady but sharp with soft tone deep voice .I know Hwang InYoup will be in new drama Dear X on mid 2025, and i hope he will join new drama more often in future

migz Dec 15 2024 10:34 pm Loving it so far. Been completely mesmerized by chaeyeon's visuals since I started following her on IG and I'm glad she has a new drama that I'd be into.

One thing that threw me off however was in Ep. 3, the basketball players were already wearing Jordan 37 lows (2023 release)... IN 2013. I know not everyone would notice, but stuff like this needs to be taken more seriously lmao.

julie Dec 15 2024 7:57 am the child actors playing the younger main characters are so incredibly talented !! i'm shocked

Ro Dec 15 2024 5:12 am Must watch! I cried almost each episodes.❤️

Christian_kim Dec 11 2024 10:08 pm The drama of 2024 !!! The actor is amazing from the beginning to the end . Kang haejoon character was amazing ? So well done ,heartwarming and emotionally perfect laughing, crying feelings up and down . I enjoyed it so much thank you ?

Tuesday Dec 03 2024 8:17 pm This is a heartwarming drama that illustrates how the love and support of friends and family can empower an individual to overcome life's challenges. It reminds me of *Reply 1988*. The entire cast excelled in portraying their respective characters. Highly recommended.

roj Dec 01 2024 11:11 pm The female lead was good. But Dal was adorable. I wanted more scenes and stories with Dal.

Jillibean Dec 01 2024 8:12 pm Choi Won Young always chooses excellent dramas to appear in so I had no qualms about starting this one up, though I really feel this is more a young person's drama with the three young leads receiving the bulk of the story (I'm a senior so it takes a lot to please me, lol). I really grew to care more for the older characters over time and I hope Choi Won Young wins a Baeksang Award for acting in this drama. He is phenomenal.

Minnie04 Dec 01 2024 8:05 am Now that drama came to end my Wednesdays won’t be the same. I love2 this drama such heartwarming and entertaining. The whole cast so good , and I’m loving HIY more and more since True Beauty . He is such great and versatile actor. A must watch !

Kim Sanha's patient Dec 01 2024 3:28 am Very satisfied with FBC. The ending was so beautiful and i can feel empty now without them. Congratulations tobe top kdrama in 140 countries, u deserve it FBC team.

Kim Nov 28 2024 12:17 pm I love this drama. I watch because of Hwang In Yeop but TBH, I actually love the story about Kang Hae Joon more. I noticed that I always waiting for his scenes. And this actor, Bae Hyun Sung reminds me to Park Bo Gum somehow. Now, I become a fan. Good looking & good actor. Choi Won Young is 1 of my favourite senior actor. Love how he plays caring dad. I can feel it. So yeah, love this drama.

Lee Nov 28 2024 8:48 am Choi won young is one of the best actors. Loved him in this! Loved the whole show and will miss it! Thank you to all actors and the writers, directors and producers who did a phenomenal job.

LB Nov 28 2024 6:09 am This was really a wholesome drama, I liked every second of it. Totally recommend as a must watch. Now that it come to an end, I already miss it.

Jannie Nov 27 2024 2:29 pm As this drama comes to an end..I'll like to say that this is the best kdrama I have watched in a really long time and obviously my best for this year.

Oh my God....its so heartwarming to watch the relationship between the three siblings....I felt a lot of emotions coming through.

I felt the warmthness in each episode....I smiled a lot, cried a lot and was giggling like a baby a lot.

Using the words interesting doesn't even describe how good this drama is......its really my comfort drama and I'll continue watching it for a really long time.

I'll recommend it to family and friends so they'll also watch. I'll also say the cast did a whole lot of work to make this drama a success.

Hwang in yeop, Jung chae Yoon, Bae Hungsung, so ji- Hae , the two Dads and other casts am not able to mention.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your hardwork and giving us a wonderful drama.....I also hope other future projects you'll be involved in would also be a success.

It's so sad to see this drama end....but then again it was a good one...I'll keep listening to the OST and watching it for a long time.

Pls just incase you have in mind to watch it....don't think about it just go ahead....you won't regret it.

Odith Nov 27 2024 2:05 pm Daebak, geonhee-yaaa being dal' blind date partner ❤️

Nimi Nov 24 2024 8:13 am Episode 14 When hae jun said “why does it have to hurt so much” I remember Reply 1988 when Sun yeong said “why is it so hard for me?” And I cried altogether. This drama makes. Me have a feeling of reply 1988 Great drama Nice acting from Hae jun,I am surprised by his good acting in This drama and gyeongseong creature…he looks like a different actor in both. Watched what’s wrong with secretary kim again and saw him as an intern,amazing how far he has grown.

Sanha is giving facials,he is so handsome and Ju won is so beautiful. Overall,the drama is great.

ilyhns00 Nov 22 2024 8:37 am This week's episodes had me bawling so much. Haejun's mom then Sanha's mom. Damn, I really thought she's changed after the conversation at Sanha's house. Stupid me for thinking she might regret her action. She's manipulative and so toxic.

Haejun's fear of being abandon again is so heartbreaking like whyyy. It's funny when he only jealous of juwon and sanha relationship bcs they will become real family if they get married..lol this boy only care about being in "real family" so much that he missed the true love he's been showered since child. But it's haejun right, he even missed the signal Dal had sending him for 10 years. Lol. They are my fav couple from this show, sorry Juwon Sanha lol. I just can't, Dal is too cute. Haejun too.

deFox Nov 21 2024 12:16 pm after a long time finally found a drama that has a similar vibe like reply 1988. will watch the og version after finished this drama. 10/10

Georgia Nov 21 2024 12:00 am What a superb drama, the mixed emotions, the chemistry. I love all the casts. So heartwarming

Krista marie Dayna Nov 20 2024 11:10 pm If you want a drama like romance,try to watch this because this drama is very beautiful and give you a lesson..

Love Nov 20 2024 8:36 pm Very good drama. Emotions well expressed. Every episode was well directed. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

lea Nov 20 2024 1:23 pm When you're going to do a remake of a well written drama with stellar actors, the first thing, that is of the utmost importance is to not lose the "essence" of the drama. "Family by Choice" did not do justice to "Go Ahead." But what the writer did get right was the character of Kim Sanha and the two amazing dads Yoon Jung Jae and Kim Dae Wook. They have really understood their characters and you can see that through and through.

Now, what really irks me is that when you can cast such good actors for those roles, you should have taken responsibility for the other main leads as well, especially the central character Yoon Joo Won, because she fails to capture the original character's curious, lively, playful yet sensitive traits.

The actor who played the character Li Jian Jian in the Chinese version was genuinely adorable and you don't see her forcibly emoting or trying to act cute like it's some sort of process that it ends up looking mechanical and off putting on screen for anyone who watches it. Kim Sanha's relationship with his mom is a really toxic, difficult and draining one and I don't think that was done well here too.

The execution is really disappointing because when you can put in time for showing unnecessary characters (ajhummas occupying screentime) you could definitely cut down on all that and focus more on the arcs of the main and supporting characters and follow the heart of the story..

18 Again is such a good example of a good remake because they executed it so well without losing the heart of the story and with a lovely cast who can act. With this drama, it's really sad because I never miss Hwang In Yeop's dramas and I would never except this, he is so good, it's such a shame because of some actors and the execution of the drama.

shen Nov 20 2024 12:14 pm it exceeded my expectation. i have cried every episode lmao. i actually love chaeyeon’s acting tho. she did not disappoint

logitech Nov 20 2024 12:12 am oh yeah, i forgot to give example. you can see Fl in reply 1988, she spend so much time with boys and looks at her acting. she is tomboyish.

Nina Nov 19 2024 10:25 pm I dropped this in episode 3. I really dont like the female lead! Her acting is so cringe! She acts like a 3 year old and her expression in acting is so force, she should practice how to act naturally. So far., few episodes is just 90% same with Chinese version

na Nov 17 2024 7:50 am I love Kim Sanha !!! <3

Loan Nov 16 2024 9:34 am @Joh, me too, fan of Hae Joon. Really like the way he expresses himself, except when he advised Park Dal to show her love to San Ha :-D

Joh Nov 15 2024 10:15 pm Hae jun fan here!!! ✋✋✋ I am more interested in hae jun's story. San ha and ju woon's story is already a given. But hae jun's story is interesting and bo gum's lookalike Bae Hyun Sung portrayal is good; adorable happy and innocent looking but deep inside he was so longing for his mom. More of hae jun and appa's screen time please.

selin Nov 15 2024 1:35 am @ I am you can watch her at 2521 drama she is a nice fencing coach !!

I am Nov 14 2024 3:29 am Love this drama and I admire the 5 main character, specialy Hwang In yeop. He is really a good actor. I love his deep voice. Im at epis 11 and hope Kim Hye-Eun the mom of Hae Jun will vsnished at epi 12 She got my attention, She Annoys Me So Much! Im also watching Kdrama "Iron Family" and Kim Hye-Eun is there again as an annoying self centered mother. Can she get a new role as good person. She is irritating in the eyes.

dreamy boy Nov 09 2024 7:52 pm I want my health to be checked by u Dr Kim SanHa ?

hoshiwoozi Nov 09 2024 2:09 am i really hate the moms characters

wintersummer Nov 08 2024 2:03 pm Great drama most especially the acting!!! Do not watch if you're very prone to stress lolololol. I think my blood pressure is through the roof (makes me wanna slap san ha's mother lololololol sorry not sorry).

Anyway, watch if you're ready to take the storyline all in. Not for the faint heart! I'll just leave it here that it's one of the best shows I've watched this year. Let's gooooo!!!

Didi Nov 07 2024 11:08 pm Omg!! They decided to change the adult storyline! Thank god. I was afraid it was going to follow the other version… the unnecessary conflict between the brothers…iykyk. The second couple sooooooo cuteeeeee, looking forward to their development as well!

Dona Nov 02 2024 9:48 am My one comfort ? drama, actually it's amazing ?, Family by choice is amazing kdrama, it's all because of characters, first about main female lead she is cute ? and decent girl ? but childese , about main lead male ? it's an awesome ? in my opinion fan are definitely watch. I love drama. Father and daughter bond is lovely ?. Both main lead are carrying for female lead ? it's lovely ?.about little sister is amazing ?. I don't like both main lead mother because both are think about herself, so both are kind of selfish women's. If l am talking about Father ? they both are kind heart person ♥️. They are responsible Father, so Family by choice is amazing kdrama in my opinion, so fan definitely watch ???

Sunshine Nov 01 2024 10:53 am @kdrama_fan its actually quite good rating and its continue growing. Kdrama which's aired on weekdays (wednesday) usually lower then the weekend one, as not many people have time to watch

Sunshine Nov 01 2024 4:11 am My comfort drama every week. Im glad that family by choice start tobe well known more in their country as it reach good rating in weekdays plot drama, which usually not many people watching compare to weekend drama. No.1 korean netflix, viki, viu, and if not mistaken tving and iqyi also will air this, I hope netflix global will consider too. Its such good kdrama , we can learn many family issue in one pack and got positive point ; that every one is special , kids from broken family not always be problematic person in future. every kids needs tobe taken care by lovable sincere parents. All actors and actresses work amazingly - they make our emotion up and down. The kdrama is remix from Gohead cdrama, so far i enjoy. They do justice for Gohead masterpiece. Im so sad that some of Gohead fans put silly bad comment as they thought this is competition which suppose they have tobe proud how the remix 's perfectly made and getting more popular

Coiman Nov 01 2024 1:21 am "Chosen Family" has left an indelible mark on me and rightfully earns a spot in my personal ranking of the best series of all time. From the very first episodes, it captivates with its unique atmosphere and compels you to empathize with the characters. The casting is simply perfect: each character, even the supporting ones, is vibrant and memorable, and the actors' performances are so natural that you believe every word and every emotion. The plot is gripping and unpredictable, keeping you in suspense until the very end and prompting reflection on important life questions. The dialogues are written with subtlety and wit, not only revealing the characters' personalities but also imbued with deep meaning. The visual aspect of the series deserves special attention: every frame is meticulously crafted, the costumes harmoniously complement the characters' images, and the direction creates a unique aesthetic. "Chosen Family" is not just a series; it's a true work of art that makes you laugh, cry, empathize, and think. I've never been so captivated by a series before, and I can confidently say that it will hold a special place in my heart.

Faith Oct 31 2024 10:35 am When are they going to be adult because almost half of the whole season is still showing them as kid

sambal Oct 31 2024 3:00 am Dal is freaking pretyyyyyyyyyyy

To a Oct 29 2024 7:20 pm Loving how the romance is being built over the episodes. The cinematography makes your heart flutter. I can’t get enough of it. That was what the Chinese version was lacking, romance development between the ML and FL! Episode 6 -w-

wish2seeuagain Oct 26 2024 10:55 pm I love this show! Please don't put any twist, just focus on "family" I am impressed by how both fathers handled the most challenging situation in their families. Kim San-Ha, Yoon Joo-Won, Kang Hae-Joon, the way they support each other is something I truly love, like a genuine siblings

Kiki Oct 24 2024 2:11 pm What is with the drama and the cola drink advertisement? It's like "you know who" is now using kdramas to further their agenda. I'd rather not watch a show that supports a genocide. I'm out!

Nimi Oct 24 2024 6:33 am This is one of the best for now. Serving visuals and good acting

seokjinie Oct 24 2024 12:45 am i love the chemistry of the 3 leads, this drama gives me reply 1988 vibes

ilyhns00 Oct 23 2024 10:18 pm I hope the writer don't add unnecessary love triangle between them. As of now only Sanha seems to have feelings for Juwon. Haejun and Juwon more like real siblings relationship. Juwon also seems uninterested when Haejun got gf but not when Sanha rumored to have gf. U can actually differentiate her feeling towards both of them. I really love this series and I hope Haejun's mom had a good reason why she's being like that bcs it's so heartbreaking for Haejun. He still hopes his mother come get him sobs.

Sissy Oct 23 2024 4:28 pm If there is one thing the kdrama version got right, it is the selfishness of Sanha’s mum. I really hate that character

Martha Oct 22 2024 6:36 am I didn't watch the Cdrama version and I'm not planning to, because I don't want to compare. I love the series already. Calm and revolves around family. Watching it because of Hwang In-yeop, until I saw that Choi Won-Young was in the drama too, loving it the more. I wish the writer won't include love triangle between the children, but since it's a remake, it might be included. San ha already loves Ju won, it's obvious. Him, rejecting the family registration and opposing her relationship. As for his mother, If I were him, I won't forgive her. She should just go. I just feel for Hajun, that's if he will be the love triangle, I hope he won't. I love his character.

Shyboy Oct 19 2024 8:35 pm After watching episide 3&4 , i can say it can not comparable with cdrama version, its remake and has its own character . I understand now why they make FL not chaos and has many phisical.touch to the brothers when teenage as it will more smoothly transfered to love line when adult. As kdrama character for bromance also more intense.

Forgetmenot Oct 18 2024 3:59 pm This drama give me vibe of reply series and hometown chachacha. I really like this drama ❤️❤️

Eva Oct 18 2024 1:10 pm In which dialect do they speak? So far I like it a lot

chaeee Oct 17 2024 9:43 pm I've reached ep3 and I love all the actors in the cast but seriously this is the worst drama remake I've ever watched. Please tell me ep4 is good enough to watch. I'm not sure whether to continue or stop watching it TT

Kimmy Oct 17 2024 8:42 pm C-drama Go A Head has 40 episodes, Family by choice will only have 16 episodes, I'm curious how this drama will tie up the storyline and the ending. Go A Head was "problematic moms" Cdrama haha.

Bit different character for FL, Ju Woon compare to JianJian, Ju Woon is girly meanwhile JianJian tomboy and crazy haha. But for the character, I like Ziqiu (Hae Jun) Ziqiu more than Ling Xiao, Ziqiu such a carring and unselfish person.

In Go A Head has ending Haichio (JianJian's father) married He Mei (Ziqiu's mom) and JianJian choosed Ling Xiao (SanHa) as her boyfriend. Will Family by choice has same ending as the original? Idk, let us see.

Anya Oct 17 2024 6:46 am It’s only at ep 4, but I am already hooked. For me, This Is The Best Kdrama Of 2024!! So healing and heartwarming.

Tomilayo Oct 16 2024 8:51 pm Pls does anyone noticed that kim sanha loves ju won

Mimi Oct 16 2024 5:40 pm Incredible . Just watched ep.3&4 ..super recommended kdrama

Adrian Sacayan Oct 14 2024 9:05 am When Can you release un episisode 3 i can wait the sa episode 3 because like your kdrama about family and brother and sisters i'm so in love with this drama

Jannie Oct 14 2024 2:13 am So in love with this drama....its so interesting and really got me hooked. I wish it was aired daily.

But I do have a feeling that Kim Sanha is already in love with Yoon joo-soon...The way he looks st her and perhaps that's partly why he's so against being in the family register and sharing the same surnames.

Anyways...let's see how things. would turn out....its really and interesting plot.

Ann Oct 13 2024 4:45 am I enjoyed the first two episodes. Good acting, great casting Nice story

Happy to see Hwang In Yeop again in kdrama

Wasshi Oct 13 2024 3:06 am It seems a good kdrama. But I really hope they don't end it up with some dating relationship mixed with the family.. I really hope they stay as family... 2 epsd already and they are amazing

Chan Oct 12 2024 8:55 pm Yram enaj: This drama is remake of cdrama u mentioned before, ofc it has the same plot line. Read the notes!

yram enaj Oct 12 2024 5:23 pm It seems like they share a similar plotline to the Chinese drama "Go Ahead."

Let's keep it a fun drama Oct 12 2024 1:13 pm I really hope they don't put a dating relationship mix into the "family". Kdramas always do that and the loser kdrama fans eat it up as always.

IzzMH Oct 12 2024 10:21 am I wish we can see the child actors longer and wish Bae Hyun Sung is the lead ??

SL Oct 12 2024 12:54 am Two episodes in and it’s already so good!! The relationship between the three of them are so endearing and cute. The child actors do such a good job, especially the little girl- she’s so stinkin cute and talented!!

tacosity Oct 11 2024 11:53 pm omg! the plot and the casts amazing!!! Can't wait for the next episode

Goyo Oct 11 2024 5:32 am First episode is so good, it give me all range of emotion, sad, anger, warm, happy.. the child actor are really amazing

Hi Oct 11 2024 4:09 am Bae hyunsung have ryeoun vibe, his hair reminds me of his adult trainee hair but his expression reminds me of 18 again and twinkling watermelon

Starboy Oct 10 2024 11:15 pm The type of drama to ease your all busy days. Its light and warm Its beautiful story line . Thanks to cinematography put such lovely atmosphere, the rain show part so beautiful and peace, the soft lighting etc. The kids have amazing act skill, actually need more to see them Btw, FL and her friends like a twin , good the stylish put the hair band to FL's friend, might be better if one of them has short hair

June Oct 10 2024 10:22 pm Wouldn't it be awesome if she ends up with the Oppa from the 3rd floor...

forinyoup Oct 10 2024 7:42 pm Watching this because of Hwang Inyoup! But got hooked because of the plot and excellent acting! Can't wait for the next episodes ???????

Kim Oct 10 2024 7:40 pm The drama and the characters were so good, I cant stop thinking about it! I'll keep on rewatching until they release the next episode ?

Hwang Inyoup is so back!!!!!!! Hwang Inyoup fighting!!!!!!

Keneuwe Oct 10 2024 5:12 pm Yhooo can you all stop camparing and comparing. This is a good drama by far. No stressful villians, terminal illness, no heavy plot. I love it and the Actors doing a great job. HIY, im watching for you boo!♥️

seokjinie Oct 10 2024 10:22 am jung chae yeon is really pretty and really acts well as a silly student, the chemistry of the 3 leads are so good, just please don't have a love triangle between them and it'll be perfect

sanhacutie Oct 10 2024 4:34 am who is the actress playing juwon in middle school? she's so pretty!

Angel Oct 10 2024 12:45 am So far cute drama! People need to stop comparing it to the Chinese version and appreciate it for what it is. All three siblings' acting is charming, especially Hwang In-Yeop.

Go ahead Oct 09 2024 10:59 am This drama is a bit fast phase. You cant feel the family-chemistry like on the three character. Go watch the original drama and you'll understand what I mean.

PS. Im not a cdrama fan but because of this cdrama I watch a few cdrama specially because of the second male lead. He is so good at acting.

Anon Oct 08 2024 6:24 am Only 1 ep per week T^T Whyyyyy

Hanna Sep 15 2024 1:53 pm The acting is like highschool friends not a family. Unlike chinese version. This is why a remake is not good. The acting of female lead is force.

Ana Sep 04 2024 11:38 am I hope it will be as good as the original. I have high expectations?

Blooms Aug 28 2024 8:46 am can't wait for this show~ ლ⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠ლ⁠)
