GIVE THIS A TRY, YOU NEVER KNOW!!

If you are pondering whether to watch this or not, give this a try!!
I loved the C-drama version of this drama so much that I didn't want to get disappointed watching it, but this became my comfort drama, there are a few things different from the Chinese version in the Korean version:

(i) No 2nd ML who comes btw the main leads (I don't consider Kang Haejun as the 2nd ML), the Chinese
version had like 2nd ML liked the FL too, here 2nd ML considers her as a sister only, which doesn't make it
complicated and there were no annoying SFL in this drama.

(ii)The younger sister of the ML here is not as clingy as the one in the C version and is respectful of the ML's
choices, which I appreciate here.

(iii)2nd ML has a pairing in the end! (we do not have to suffer from the 2nd ML syndrome yaaayyyyy)

(iv) ML here is orthopaedic but there it was a dentist all in the end, they are all doctors lol. FL here is a
baker, where she was a sculptor.

the first three points made me like this version but of course, it's your choice to like this or not. I would recommend this drama if you like heartwarming families coming together as one drama. I would recommend this drama to the people who didn't like the C-version too. One thing I wish that was there in this drama was that I MISS THOSE CUTIEPIES IN EP 1, really wish that they could have been in a few more episodes...

*Families are not about who's related to whom, but rather about who cares for you and shares your woes and joys!*
this is what popped into my mind after completing this drama.

Thank you for taking the time to read my yapping, it has been a while since I wrote reviews so bear with me...
