Be My Dream Family[1] is a South Korean television series starring Choi Jung-woo, Park Joon-geum, Wang Ji-hye, Hahm Eun-jung, and Joo Ah-reum.[2] The series, directed by Kim Jeong-gyoo and written by Yeo Myung-jae, revolves around two culturally different families becoming one when their parents remarry.[3] The daily drama was premiered on KBS1 on March 29, 2021 and aired every weekday at 20:30 (KST) till October 1.[4]

Although Be My Dream Family was consistently among the three most-watched television programs in South Korea everyday, it drew the lowest viewership for KBS1's traditional 20:30 (KST) family drama time slot. Its ratings never increased from its pilot-episode figure of 18.4%, and it was the first in that time slot to never break the 20% mark. During the Chuseok holidays, the 111th and 112th episodes of Be My Dream Family drew nationwide ratings of 9.7%[5] and 9.3%[6] —the first time in 11 years that a KBS1 daily drama got single-digit ratings since Happiness in the Wind was defeated by a World Cup game.[7] Lead actor Ryu Jin admitted that Be My Dream Family made a "new attempt" on the format and that it was "not the existing daily drama style," but thought there should still be "a drama that touches the heart."[8]

Synopsis

The story of the series revolves around two families Geum family and Han family with different views on familial duties. They meet when their parents remarry in the twilight of life, and they become one family. The series follows the conflict, understanding and harmony of the extended family, showing meaning of a true family.
