- Friendship
- Tearjerker
- Heartwarming
- Happy Ending

In this drama the FL treats the ML as her step brother. ML attentive towards FL and helps her in her studies. They end up falling for each other though they used to treat each other as step siblings.
I love this drama so much>>>> and this is the only drama that made me fall into tears.

theyre both the same vibes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111! trust me you have to watch them both<3333333

when I watched love next door it reminded me of family by choice immediately. they both have similar plot and dynamics
- meet one other after a long time (FL and ML)
- quite second lead scenes
- childhood friends
- FL and ML having a love-hate relationship
so if you liked family by choice definitely watch love next door

You might think it is totally different. Indeed, it is not about sisters, it is not set in a work office and the "depressing" vibe that convey messages/quotes is missing.

But it is still about family. You get to see their growth, which is the strength of the show by the way. Like we see the sisters' past and present, choices and events that happened, things that set themp apart and back together. You get to see this in this drama as well.

Our unwritten Seoul also has a strong development between a imperfect mother and her daughters. Here it's about the relationship between a dad and his daughter. Both are really deep relationships. In a sense it tackles the issue of a single dad that is overlooked in South Korea but also around the world.

If our unwritten Seoul tends to be more depressing, this one is more likely about hardships that shape a relationship and strenghten it, in a way it's lighthearted but it doesn't lack any depth.

FbC is not a time travel drama but if you love park dal's
character, you should watch this. The same actress has similar soft innocent and lovable character

Both dramas have leads start to have feelings for each other, but family issues cause a strain in their relationship.

Seo Ji Hye is in both dramas in a she fell first he fell harder trope!! She's also paired with sporty guys in both dramas.

They have the same vibe of becoming family even though you aren't related. There are themes of overcoming different struggles and taking care of each other through it.
