Love Family (2013)

Story: This was a very heartwarming family drama that revolves strongly around family bonds, friendships and relationships.The focus of the story is around the relationship of Chris and Serena and all the obstacles they need to face; and of course the various other relationships that come about - won't mention them in case of spoiling for anyone even though they are quite obvious XD

Acting/Cast: Jack is so adorable!! I loved watching him in this. Chris, Serena, Amanda, Sean, Ke Fan, etc. Props to them all for giving us this wonderful drama!

Music: Personally, I did not like the opening song at all. This is one of those songs where you hear it and don't think much of it. Now I don't even remember the tune of it.. I'd even say none of the insert songs were even memorable.

Rewatch Value: This drama was a whopping 72 episodes! I probably won't be watching this again.

Overall: Nice family drama with really slow story development, but that is expected for such a long drama. I would recommend this to those who like watching romance and seeing couples being shy yet affectionate with each other. It is really cute.

That I stuck this Drama out for all 72 eps (with MUCH ff, of course) is testament to the fact that it kept surprising me by avoiding clichés in many setups throughout the Drama. Sadly, it fell into one of the worst of them at about the 60 episode mark. Noble idiocy rears it tired, ugly head, and we have to endure the male lead having a personality transplant/brain removal before it's fixed just in time. So the kindest thing I can say about this one is, I liked the leads, and the execution was better than expected in many places. I've definitely seen worse. It was also a bit jarring to see the cute youngest sister and keep thinking about what happened to the actor who played her. Very sad.
