A very good adaptation with a lot of personal character!
I'm a BIG BIG BIG fan of Go Ahead, literally my first 10 star in this site. For me, Family by Choice feels like a gift.
It give generally more stress free life for all characters (they use kdrama magic here and there). They cut a lot of angst, so some toxic trait of the characters also gone. They cut a lot of super super complex internal feeling. A very wise choice, because no way they can tackle that in 16 episodes. But they still able to deliver important plot points, either funny, wholesome or emotional.
While Go Ahead is more realistic feeling, Family By Choice is more hopeful and dreamy. Like, San Ha is super positive even until the end (no lie I miss lil bit of pettiness from him, haha). How his sister is not toxic. How Haejun still in track with his love of basketball instead of change career to make cake (Juwon can make it herself!). Generally the change always move to positive feeling. Difference like that keep happen in this drama, make the tone it more light. So the resolution can be shorter.
Actors acting are so good. On par with OG actors, they are seriously great. The only one that weaker is Juwon. Her acting is not as complex and her acting as young Juwon to adult Juwon are not drastic enough. But I feel it's not fair to compare because Tan Song Yun is a lot older IRL and she start as younger Jian Jian. Also, the storyline didn't give Chae Yeon enough chance. A very important story point where Juwon's internal feeling transitioning from seeing Sanha as 'sibling' to lover, is gone! It's too sudden with no enough development time from Juwon stand point. She still give good performance generally, with charming young Juwon to some emotional parts here and there.
The cinematography and music are a lot better than Go Ahead. It's more consistent in quality and very beautifully shoot. I also adore how they adapt this drama from very Chinese to very Korean. Not only the setting change, but we can also see the difference in characters traits, social dynamic, culture, way of life. They make the story their own, while still keep the soul of Go Ahead alive.
Last but not the least, the best thing about this drama: It give us HAEJUN-DAL!!!
I really want this couple to be a thing even in Go Ahead. But the OG drama was too realistic :') I mean, I love realistic story but at that point I thought, "Can't you give us this couple? No need to be that realistic it still a drama..." But yeah, that not happened. That's why I love the change! How Dan feeling more unwavering, how she choose to pursue her feeling. How precious Park Dal is to the trio. She is a treasure. And because Haejun is super dense even though he is more advance in dating, their dynamic is so fun. I really love this couple, the greatest gift from Family by Choice!
I have fun watch it. Maybe the best drama adaptation I ever watch. It's good for people that can't stand long drama and can't stand heavier feeling in Go Ahead. It's a good additional to Go Ahead world.
