You'd think it's the usual person entering a book story, but this really had a lot of twists and very funny scenes. Haven't had a laugh like that in a while!
I also love the ending! I was waiting for it and they did it nicely!

Not Flawless, But Deeply Felt: Why Family by Choice Worked for Me
Even though there have been a lot of criticisms about this series, for me it was deeply touching, heartfelt, and truly string-tugging.The acting was incredibly strong, especially Juwon’s dad. His performance brought so much depth and warmth that it was impossible not to feel moved. Throughout the series, you’re constantly wrapped in emotion because of the family bond they share.
My only wish is that there were more episodes showing Juwon’s emotional development toward Sanha. That part felt a bit rushed, especially when compared to the storyline of Dal and Haejun. With them, you could clearly see how Haejun’s feelings for Dal slowly unfolded. How he didn’t recognize them at first, denied them, struggled with inner conflict, and eventually gave in. There was space for that emotional journey to breathe. He even openly admitted that he might not feel as strongly as Dal yet, which made it feel honest and real.
Despite everything, the series is a beautiful, emotional experience. One that reminds us that family is not always about blood, but about choice, love, and being there when it matters most.
