This show executed found family perfectly. Just 2 dads raising their kids together. (Platonically they aren't actually together, and the kids aren't related by blood) I love the relationship between the siblings and I think that why I had to rate it lower then I orignally would have because I perfered the main couple as siblings. I feel like the relatioship that had been built up throughout the whole beginning of the show was thrown in the trash and both of the brothers "liking" her was so unecessary (idk how to spell). It kind of bothered me how when one of the brothers liked her she accepted it but when the other did it's only because he wanted "to be on the family register" I feel like once the main couple got together the relationship between all 3 of them was kind of weird. If I ignore the second half of the show I think the beginning is amazing and it would be rated highly in my eyes. Just because I didn't enjoy doesnt mean other won't and I still think it's a great show to check out. I'd also like to say that I some step-sibling romances I can deal with but the fact that they quite litterly grew up together since they were young makes them feel like real siblings compared to other step-sibling romances.

I dont know what feels more like found family me relationship with everyone in this are the relationship between all the people. It's a reality show where it felt like a youth show but in real life. Many up's and downs but hands down will be the funniest reality show I've ever watched and I haven't watched many. Not only the relationship between the participants was great, but the host had so much chemistry as well. I laughed at everything and cried at everything all at the same time.

40. We Are
Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
I love friend groups so much and this show was just everything I need like romance was good but just seeing this big friend group hang out together go on trips have drinks and parties it was just to die for like I love how there was such a big cast but in the end they are all friends with each other like yes Peem and his friends are all closer and I love the moments when it's just their little group talking about their high school days and stuff and I love how the show includes that even though they have all these friends and partners surrounding them in the end this one group will forever be their ride or die and I just love that so much like the last episode has me so emotional because you better bet I will be crying whenever the friends all have to go their separate ways

Seriously such a good show and so underrated too it's been such a long time since I've enjoyed every episode of a show without getting bored and being able to stay focused for more then 5 minutes but this show had me hooked every episode had me giggling gasping for air and tears running down my face all at the same time It was able to be such a good comedy but deal with such serious matters as well and the relationship between the characters was just very.. idk how to explain it but in one way real their relationships seemed very real and I think the charcters themselves all has some story to them making them feel very fleshed out some more than others but I feel like they behaved how real people in the world would behave like in the end all together they were able to form this amazing connection but at the same time like real people they also had many bad moments as well but to me that just makes their relationships between each other even more deep yes I'm yapping I just don't know how to explain it without to many spoilers

Now take this as found family very lightly but going through traumatic experinces really brings people together and that ending really showed the potential they had to be a youthful highschool drama in another universe

49. Kazoku Game
Japanese Drama - 2013, 10 episodes
THIS IS LIKE A HELLA HOT TAKE BUT LISTEN LIKE IMAGINE FAMILY BROKEN INSIDE FAMILY TOGETHER OUTSIDE TUTOR MAKES FAMILY BROKEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE FAMILY BECOMES TOGETHER INSIDE!!!!!! (Only for 5 minutes though dont't get your hopes up) But in all honesty like give them another season or like a special of them reconciling like that would be OOOO that would be so good like I'd say this is more about a family getting destoryed then creating a family but IN A DESTORYED FAMILY YOU CREATE A NEW ONE secondary succession fr science teaching me fr
