Family by Choice (조립식 가족) is ending today and while we are excited for the release of the final episodes, there is also a hint of sadness that comes along. The show has truly been a pleasure to watch and brought about the kind of remake we all love and appreciate. Without hindering many elements, it has also ensured to add its own magic to the plot which tied some loose knots for fans.
The drama tells the story of a family formed by bonds of love rather than those of blood. Two fathers come together to care for their three children who share the bond of love as they grow up together. While life isn’t always smooth for the trio, and feelings of love make their way within them, the family is always ready to face everything together. Starring Hwang In-youp, Jung Chae-yeon, Bae Hyeon-seong, Seo Ji-hye, Choi Won-young, Choi Moo-sung, and others.
While the drama certainly holds a lot of different elements that we love, we cannot seem to get over the bromance San-ha and Hae-jun share. Their bond is just as precious as any other on the show and has been making us emotional over the weeks. The two are truly a bromance we want to celebrate as they remind us of some of our past favourites.
So as we celebrate this new bromance, we bring to you some of our past favourites to help us with the pain of goodbye that we are soon to experience! Let’s begin.

Alchemy of Souls
We have to say, the bromance in this was quite unexpected. We are not talking about Jang Uk’s bromance with Seo Yul or Park Dang-gu, but his bromance with the crown prince- Go Won. Their relationship was truly unexpected as it developed into something that was hard to overlook throughout the show.
