Family by Choice (조립식 가족) slowly moves to its end while giving us beautiful memories that we are sure to cherish. As the trio holds our hearts with their happy smiles, resilient characters, and care for each other, this show is simply heartwarming and beautiful to watch. Meanwhile, the two fathers are also giving us some brilliant performances as they continue to take the spotlight along with the trio.
The drama tells the story of a family formed by bonds of love rather than those of blood. Two fathers come together to care for their three children who share the bond of love as they grow up together. While life isn’t always smooth for the trio, and feelings of love make their way within them, the family is always ready to face everything together. Starring Hwang In-youp, Jung Chae-yeon, Bae Hyeon-seong, Seo Ji-hye, Choi Won-young, Choi Moo-sung, and others.
While this family overlooks blood bonds and instead comes together purely due to the love they share, we cannot miss out on other similar families that have our hearts. So while Family by Choice episode 13 and episode 14 hit your screens today, we bring to you a list of Kdramas with a similar theme that you cannot miss!
