Maybe you miss your own brothers and sisters?

The South Korean industry does a masterful job of covering any topic you can imagine in the shows they produce. Want a zombie apocalypse or a dystopian disaster show? You can have it, as well as the most lighthearted romantic comedies. There's also a huge layer of more dramatic South Korean shows.

The one thing that all these genres have in common is that the writers of the shows put a lot of effort into portraying the characters through the prism of their relationships with different people. And who better to tell us about someone's personality than their family?

And if parents can be a little biased towards their children, we think there's no one in this world who knows you better than your sibling. So here we have 6 best K-dramas where the story focuses on family drama.

1. Coffee Prince (2007)

There are many different reviews on this rather old series, but we still can say for sure that the sisterhood portrayal in this one is worth mentioning. While Go Eun Chan and her little sister Eun Sae are almost always fighting, there are still several moments when we definitely see how close they are to each other.

For example, in episode 8 they turn to each other seeking comfort, when Eun Chan goes through a love drama and Eun Sae fails an audition. Their relationship is not a central plotline, but definitely adds drama to the series.

2. Who Are You: School 2015 (2015)

The show follows two identical twin sisters, Go Eun-byul and Lee Eun-bi, who were separated at the age of five. One of them ended up in a wealthy family and is now a popular girl in a prestigious school, while the other one stayed in the orphanage where all the kids look up to her. But nobody knows that she is being bullied at school...

One day Eun-byul meets her from a distance and the next day she disappears. At the same time, Eun Bi loses her memory and is mistaken for Eun Byul. The drama follows how they come back into each other's lives after being separated for so long.

3. Twenty Five Twenty One (2022)

Even though the sibling story isn't the main focus of the series, we still can't leave out this amazing bond that we once witnessed. Yes, we are talking about Baek Yi Jin and the older brother vibes he gives off. There's a scene where he defends his younger brother and warns his bullies, and it just melts your heart.

And in general, having an older supportive sibling like Baek Yi Jin, who is ready to work the entire family through the crisis and also achieve his dreams no matter what.

4. Cheese in the Trap (2016)

While the fans love the show mainly for its favorite love triangle, they still also remember the sibling part of the story. Although it was pretty memorable, it wasn’t anything like “aww” most of the time.

In-ha is a spoiled girl who often uses others for her own success. When she needs money, she doesn’t shy away from asking for it even from her younger brother, and because he really loves her (although suffers from all her crazy shenanigans) he has no choice but to give her everything.

However, she also serves as the protective older sister, even though it may go wrong at times…

5. True Beauty (2020)

While the main premise of the show is to make the female lead believe in her true self and appreciate her looks, the series also goes deep into portraying the dynamics of a three sibling relationship.

As it often goes, the older child is a near-perfect creation, the middle child is always irritated with everyone, and the youngest child in a family lives like royalty. They all keep making fun of each other, but the jokes sometimes hurt.

However, they still support each other’s dreams and are always ready to protect each other from outside enemies.

6. My Mister (2018)

One of the most popular sibling stories among K-drama fans is definitely My Mister. It revolves around three adult brothers who are going through a hard time in their lives. Even though the brothers are so different from each other, they somehow end up in a similar crisis. But the main thing is that they are still there for each other, ready to make sure everything ends well.
