In "Home Full of Love," there was no reconciliation until the end, but it reaffirmed the meaning that true family is being there on an ordinary day, and it reached an unparalleled happy ending as a home drama. In the final episode of the JTBC weekend drama "Home Full of Love" aired on the 15th in Korea, the last story of families focusing on their own lives, breaking away from the relationships of father and mother, daughter and son, was depicted. Byung Mu-jin (Ji Jin-hee) and Geum Ae-young (Kim Ji-soo) decided not to think about reconciliation for the time being. Instead, Mu-jin, a former successful baseball player, took over a youth baseball class. Ae-young, who had more work as a home shopping model, took driving lessons to enhance her mobility, bought a used car with her own money, and transformed into a cool Geum Ae-young. Byung Mi-rae (former Apink Son Na-eun), who was promoted to a manager, continued to work hard as a company employee, realizing how happy it was to drink beer alone after work and that she could fulfill her long wish list with her boyfriend Nam Tae-pyeong (SHINee Minho) without overpacking her schedule. Byung Hyun-jae (ASTRO Yoon San-ha), who dreams of becoming a businessman, gained family support not just through words but through actions, moving towards his dream. Living their lives separately in apartments 302 and 102, the family gathered once a month to share their favorite foods and eat together. They learned that they could be a family without living together in conflict, and sometimes feeling lonely was also okay. They began to live a happy life, “separately, sometimes together.” Tae-pyeong also reconciled with his father Nam Chi-yeol (Jeong Eun-in), with whom he had been in conflict due to complicated family circumstances. Tae-pyeong realized that Chi-yeol, who took responsibility for his half-brother, loved and cherished him as his true son. Chi-yeol, who wished for his son to take over the business and live a stable life, respected Tae-pyeong's will to return to his original job as a taekwondo master. Thus, everyone perfectly captured both family and individual lives, reaching a happy ending. The unique theme of a fierce triangular family romance centered around the mother stood out, showcasing a well-crafted story that broke away from ordinary developments each episode. The intense conflict between Mu-jin, who tried to win back Ae-young, and Mi-rae, who worked hard not to be taken away, created a bright and cheerful comedy, while the mystery surrounding Mu-jin piqued viewers' curiosity over time. His past of selling high heels in Thailand and episodes of chasing a con artist were surprises that did not disappoint. Throughout this process, viewers naturally felt moved and empathized. Mi-rae, who had a hard time hating her father because she loved him so much, finally opened her heart and began to live a life without pain. It was possible because she understood Mu-jin's sincerity, who struggled while being labeled as a criminal to return to the family. The relationship between the father and daughter, who believed that Mu-jin was definitely not a con artist because he was family, was touching. Although they thought they couldn't part because they lived for each other, Ae-young and Mi-rae began to support each other's lives, seeking independence and what they wanted, prompting a reevaluation of what a healthy mother-daughter relationship is. Through Tae-pyeong and Chi-yeol, whether they are half-brothers or father-son, the message that the definition of bloodline is not important was also reaffirmed. The actors, who shed their previous images, fought fiercely, reconciled, cried, laughed, and completed a true family story over the past six weeks, providing emotional depth. Ji Jin-hee, who was a heavy gentleman, showcased various charms from pure macho to a doting father, even strutting down a high-heeled runway. Kim Ji-soo, who returned as a strong mother, portrayed the delicate emotions of a middle-aged woman who seemed to waver between her ex-husband's affection and not. Son Na-eun, who shed her glamorous clothes, met a growth-type character and received applause from viewers for her compelling acting skills. Minho displayed his talent with understated acting, making hearts flutter without crossing lines. Yoon San-ha, who acted as the “human vitamin,” expressed the hidden sadness and pain of the youngest sibling, driving the story in the latter half. Thus, "Home Full of Love," completed by the writer, director, and actors working together, made viewers realize that living together while fighting, as defined by society, or being family only as stated on the family register is not the only way to be family. Even if Mu-jin's family lives separately and sometimes together, they are there for each other in difficult times, fully trusting and supporting one another. Tae-pyeong and Chi-yeol, though half-brothers who could cause sibling strife, did not deny each other's existence as father and son and embraced tightly. Perhaps family is something that must be constantly worked on and loved more fiercely than any other relationship. The six-week family story has ended, but it will likely remain a work that continues as a drama of life.
