Two episodes in and we've already got some totally WTF scenes. All we need is the next episode where Sejeong beats up 10 guys and we're good to go.

I still have trouble with the actress who plays "Ju won", I really don't think she has an incredible acting style. I don't understand why, but I've seen 2-3 comments from Koreans and everyone thinks she's incredible. I don't have that impression. I don't find her sequences memorable or even her facial expressions. I even think her chemistry with San Ha isn't great. Hae Jun and Dal's chemistry is much more interesting and better on screen. People prefer Ju won's chemistry thanks to Hwang In Yeop and it was the same with True Beauty. You had one camp for In Yeop and another for Eun Woo and even though the actors could be bad, just because they're considered good-looking people find their chemistry incredible.

What can I say about these first two episodes? Honestly not great, I don't have the impression that we're going for something spectacular like the last drama of the same genre with Ji Chang Wook. I'm talking about Worst of Evil, which for me was just so so amazing. The Ji Chang Wook/ Wi Ha Joon duo had the flow they had.

Je ne sais pas si quelqu'un l'a mentionné ici, mais la ville où Dal et Juwon vivent est-elle la même ville où vit son père, ou est-ce une autre ville ? Parce que j'ai entendu le nom de la ville Hae Dong, mais avant le saut dans le temps, nous n'avons jamais entendu le nom de la ville où il vivait ? Et de quelle ville s'agit-il en Corée, parce que j'ai l'impression que c'est un nom fictif.
Uptade: So it's the same town where he went to high school but is it just me or did I never hear the name of the town in the drama?

I've been watching kdramas for quite a long time and I know the actor Bae Hyun Sung from the drama Our Blues and Dear M but I didn't know he was that good. I didn't find him exceptional in Dear M. I have the impression since Gyeongseong S2 and now with Family By Choice his career is going to take a huge turn. One thing's for sure: from now on, he'll only play leading roles.

Exactly, that's the first thing I felt too. 10 years apart for 0 changes apart from Ju Won's father's moustache. The colors for Hae Jun, Juwon. Otherwise there are 0 changes, and that's often the case in kdramas where there are jumps in time but 0 major changes.

I'd completely forgotten this detail. It's true Seung Jo is the son of the woman who gave birth in the cell at the end of season 1. Thank you, I remember now.

What did he do with Han Ji Hyun's make-up? The photo is freaky as hell. I'm shivering https://x.com/kdramahandle/status/1854033107927916601

So the next OST is Vincent Blue. I don't think it's Beyond The Sunrise. I don't think I've heard an extract of the OST that's coming out.

I find the episodes far too short, episode 10 wasn't even 1 hour long. In the teaser for the next episodes, we can clearly see Haejun's mother talking to Juwon's father. I think we're heading in the same direction as in the Cdrama, i.e. a couple to be expected between the two.

Episode 9 was super sad and we heard it again: Beyond The Sunrise, it's the greatest OST. I don't know who sings it, I've tried everything, it's impossible to know.

The cast is really incredible too, and even with this cast. Kim Tae Ri is legendary compared to the others who are just as good.
Otherwise, there's another drama coming soon, set in 2025, with all women, and featuring Lee Hyeri and Kang Hyewon. It's called Friendly Rivalry.

Shin Ye Eun is far too beautiful. One of my favorite actresses. I loved her performance in the Glory. So creepy

Two episodes of Family By Choice tonight, I'm going to sleep well. Wednesday is my favorite day now. I'm happy to have Dal back.

Do you think the grandparent couple will stay until the end or will they die? I have a feeling they won't make it to the end. I'll be disgusted, to be honest, because they're the funniest, especially the grandfather.

Thank you, we agree that both look far too plastic. Just that the Iron Family one has more of a glass skin makeup effect than the other. Which, by the way, is very noticeable, as it's super shiny on screen.

I see. Thank you for your explanation.

I hear the trio will be singing an OST for the drama

At last Wednesday is tomorrow! Which means a new episode of Family By Choice.
I hope the Beyond the Sunrise OST will be released

Are you saying there's no resemblance between Gang Ju's mother and Hwang Jung Eum? Please make an effort. They look exactly alike.
