Episode Title: One Family Name
After growing up together as a family, Ju Won, San Ha, and Hae Jun go to high school together.

Family by Choice Episode 2 Reactions
What a lovely siblings! I like their chamistry and dynamic, crazy, fight with each other but also are for each other help each other and care about each other. Sanha the only adult in the whole trio, but well he had the worst childchood experience I would say so probably that's why.Is it really a father?

Hae Jun's mystery father at the end. I was wondering. I think his mom didn't want his bio dad to know. Or he's gonna use Hae Jun somehow. Also, I'm happy Hae Jun does seem more like a brother and that maybe, hopefully, we don't end up with a a love triangle. I actually love the idea of The class president pursuing He Jun. They already are so cute together!!!!
I'm really loving how all the characters interact. How much they help each other out. Or get one another over an emotional hurtle and see the other side of things. It's great. Though I think Ju Won isn't wrong with the Dad's favoring the boys more. Just saying.
I loved how San Ha immediately believes Ju Won. Hae Jun is still trying to find his back bone. He sees traits in the men in his life that he admires, and hopefully he'll soon feel more confidant. Not letting silly girls take advantage of him and keep them dating a secret. Or let people sway him. He's getting there.
This is such a a cute and sweet drama so far. I'm super moved!

The character development in this series is compelling. Each character's individual story intertwines beautifully, creating a rich tapestry that keeps viewers engaged. The recurring motif of the male lead rescuing the female lead brings a classic charm to the story, reminiscent of a knight in shining armor.Read my Full Review and Recap: https://diyarisks.blogspot.com/2024/10/family-by-choice-2024-episode-2-review.html

I must admit, I thought this would be just another lukewarm, melodramatic drama, but what we have here is dynamic storytelling, with an engaging script and well-crafted scenes. The editing is truly excellent; everything is neatly pieced together and flows effortlessly, thanks to the editors.By the second episode, you can already sense that San-ha and Hae-Joon are showing signs of wanting to spread their wings and leave the nest that fate chose for them. Credit goes to the writer for taking the time to carefully lay out each character’s reasons for wanting to fly away.I’d like to highlight Won-Young Choi’s performance as a typical, protective Korean father. He handles this role with a natural ease. On the other hand, my criticism goes to the portrayal of Joo-Won’s teenage version, which felt a bit caricatured and overly immature, even for a high schooler.As for romance, I don't think we'll see a love triangle here. I haven't watched the Chinese version, but it seems like the love story will ultimately be just between San-ha and Joo-Won.
