Korean dramas have a way of capturing the hearts of global audiences, and Family By Choice is no exception. Produced by JTBC, the series starring Hwang In-youp, Jung Chae-yeon, and Bae Hyeon-seong started on October 9, 2024. The K-drama series is simultaneously available for online streaming through Viu.

Romantic scenes from Family By Choice
1) The sincere childhood apology (Episodes 2 & 3)
In the earlier episodes of Family By Choice, a romantic moment unfolds as San-ha (portrayed by Hwang In-youp) apologizes to Joo-won (portrayed by Jung Chaeyeon).
After their previous confrontation, San-ha admits he's not dating Hui-ju and promises to be honest about everything in his life. This sincere and vulnerable reconciliation sparks a deeper connection, hinting at the budding romance set to happen between them.
2) The moment under the rain (Episode 11)
Under the unexpected downpour, San-ha and Joo-won's love story takes a poignant turn, marking one of the most unforgettable moments in Family By Choice. The rain drenches them as they stand frozen in time, their shared history flashing between them — childhood laughter, fleeting glances, and the silent longing they carried for years.
This romantic scene is in episode 11 when San-ha finally confesses his feelings to Joo-won. After years of hiding, San-ha finally finds the courage to bare his feelings and admit his love for Joo-won. Sealed with a kiss, this confession shifts their bond from sibling affection to a romantic one.
3) Joo-Won's attempt to fix a misunderstanding (Episodes 12 & 13)
Demonstrating her growing affection for San-ha, Joo-won decides to prove it through a heartfelt gesture. After San-ha's emotional struggle with his mother, Joo-won visits him in the hospital, reassuring him that his mother's abandonment wasn't his fault. Her words provide emotional support and express her deep care for him.
Moreover, by sticking around to ensure he knows he's not to blame, Joo-won shows her commitment to protecting him from further pain. This gesture strengthens their bond and paves the way for an unbreakable romantic connection.
4) The quick peck on the lips before going home (Episodes 12 & 13)
Drunk with love, Joo-won and San-ha had a wonderful walk in the park. After sharing an honest conversation, they go home together, hand-in-hand. When they arrived at their shared home's front door, San-ha gave her a quick peck on the lips.
Excitement builds up as Hae-joon (played by Bae Hyeon-seong) suddenly opens the door to invite them inside.
5) The sweet living room morning kiss (Episode 13)
Although being open about a relationship with a significant other can take a weight off the shoulders, Joo-won and San-ha still hide their relationship from their family and friends. However, this does not stop them from showing affection.
After their moving moment in the rain, San-ha is asleep on the living room sofa. Joo-won moves closer to wake him but gets pulled in a warm hug. This romantic gesture isn't enough for him, so he gives her a morning kiss, having viewers on the edge of their seats.
6) The reconciliation of the trio (Episode 14)
In the recent episode of Family By Choice, San-ha and Joo-won share another romantic moment. San-ha picks her up from work, and they return home to find Hae-joon waiting with a list of dating rules for San-ha.
As the sibling trio is also involved in a love triangle, this scene wraps up the misunderstanding. It led to a hilarious and heartwarming reconciliation, and San-ha calls Hae-joon "hyungnim" to end the tension.
This shows how much San-ha and Joo-won's relationship has grown, with their playful yet loving interactions setting the stage for the final chapter of their romance.
Furthermore, the Korean drama Family By Choice has two more episodes left and will conclude on November 27, 2024. Fans can rewatch the previous episodes and await the final episodes on Wednesday, 8:50 pm KST via JTBC and online streaming through Viu.
