Baek Eun Hye Archives - The Fangirl Verdict

THE SHORT VERDICT:

Family By Choice is a lovely, compact little family drama that manages to deliver pretty big on the feels, considering its relatively short length of just 16 episodes.

Show serves up a whole lot of feels in the found family realm, with a nice little bonus of romance, on the side.

Yes, it’s a remake of c-drama Go Ahead (review here!), but you don’t have to have seen Go Ahead, to love this one. Conversely, just because you’ve seen Go Ahead, doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy this one too.

Show does feel a little truncated in spots because of its shorter length, but the feels are strong and authentic enough, that it doesn’t really matter, in the bigger scheme of things.

Absolutely recommend, if you enjoy family dramas &/or found family stories. 🥰
