Thanksgiving 2023: 6 Family-Themed Kdramas to Watch!

Play it for your family right before dinner, and who knows, you might have just turned someone into a Kdrama fanatic just like what this show did to you years back.
The Heirs revolves around Kim Tan who is the heir to a business empire but is sent into exile by his half-brother.

When his fiance comes to take him back to South Korea, he is torn between his duties as the heir and his love.

What Happens to My Family
While there are many family-themed Kdramas out there, What Happens to My Family is the one that will always touch your heart in every way possible. This is the show you go to when in the mood to feel some tickles, warmth, sorrow, and fulfilment in your heart as it reminds you of what family is.
What Happens to My Family revolves around Cha Bong-soon who is the father of three grown-up children. However, he is not happy with the treatment given to him by them and decides to take legal action against them. However, this lawsuit has another reason as Bong-soon is determined to change the lives of his kids for the better.
I Believe in Love
Love is the foundation of a family, and with love, anything can be accomplished in life. Teaching these very values with some drama, romance, and of course, comedy is a Kdrama that shows the ups and downs that bring a family together. Forgiveness is what every family needs, and what better day to learn a little about this through entertainment?
I Believe in Love tells the story of Vice-Principle Kim and his wife who have created a family with love and devotion, however, the spouses of their children bring chaos in their lives as well as for the family. Seeing this, the two take over the responsibility to teach them love and forgiveness that can bring their lives back on track.
Reborn Rich
While heartwarming and comedy dramas are always a pleasure to watch, there is no way we are missing out on some family political drama that is filled with an entertaining thrill. Reborn Rich has been one of the most chaotic dramas in recent times, and there is no way we are missing out on the entertainment this show brings (despite the not-so-pleasing ending).
Reborn Rich tells the story of an employee of Soonyang Group who is reborn as the youngest son of the conglomerate family during the time of an heir war. Now, he is ready to bring chaos to the family that killed him unfairly and take over everything that they own, as the youngest son of the Jin family.
Wang’s Family
While thrill and family politics are very appealing, we cannot deny the pull a heartwarming, chaos-filled family comedy brings to us. Wang’s Family is our last suggestion on this list for this holiday and we know that you can’t resist this drama which is a very comic and subtle way of telling your kids to leave after filling their tummies with some yummy food and dessert.
Wang’s Family brings the story of the Wang family that faces several challenges: elitism; discrimination; children moving back home after living on their own during college. With shifts in power dynamics and having babies while facing financial difficulties, can this family survive?
Which of these is gonna be your choice for this holiday? Let us know in the comments below!
