Editorials Familiar Love
There's so much more to love than romantic love.
These are some dramas that highlighted love in families (found or biological) that I enjoyed.
*My comments under each title may highlight the negative aspects of the dramas but they are wonderful and beautiful stories through and through (maybe not so much "The Bond" after a while)*

1. Go Ahead
Chinese Drama - 2020, 46 episodes
The one where the lives of these two boys revolved around this one girl.
Everybody needed therapy and nobody got it. The only well adjusted one of the 3 was Li Jian Jian and they used her as an emotional band-aid.

3. Mother
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
If you throw your baby away with the trash, you deserve to have her taken away from you.
Mothers who choose men over their children deserve the lowest circle in Dante's inferno.

6. The Bond
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
Their relationship was a little bit too co-dependent-y after a while. You should be able to maintain relationships outside your family and none of them were really able to.
Also word of advice to the girlies: once a cheater, always a cheater.

“Love” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here lol but the drama is centered around family both found and biological.
they aren’t a perfect match nor do they always do the right thing or care for each other properly but the affections and intent are there
