Hello! I'm looking for shows/movies about people (not related by blood) who either pretend to be family or decide to form a 'real' family.
What I'm NOT looking for:
- cohabitation or a bunch of roommates/friends hanging out together
- contract marriage (unless they do it to adopt a child or get benefits to take care for their family members or something similar.
What I'm looking for: 'true family doesn't need blood ties', for example:
- a group of people pretending to be family (siblings or parents and children, not two people pretending to be married) while going undercover, to avoid loan sharks or for any other reason a group of unrelated people might have. They have to end up behaving like a real family and genuinely loving (with familial love) each other or at least becoming best friends.
- any kind of assumed/stolen identity/bodyswap/time travel/misunderstanding scenario where someone ends up taking care of family of person identity they assumed - for example Wonderful Nightmare where a woman gets temporarily reincarnated in a housewife's body and has to take care of two kids and husband that are not hers. Same thing with Miracle that we met.
In To be a better man ML starts taking care of his dead best friend's daughter and mother (who has dementia and thinks he's her son). They end up developing a bond like real 3-Generation Family
- a group of people who naturally form a family due to some circumstances i.e they are poor and decide to live together and end up bonding like real siblings.
- I'm sure there are many scenarios I forgot to mention so anything else is acceptable as long as it's not something I mentioned in 'not looking for' section. I don't mind absolute BS plotlines where, let's say, an alien comes to earth and gets adopted by an elderly merperson couple because #reasons.
+ Happy ending preferred but not needed.
+ Both dramas and movies are ok
Any help appreciated, thank you! o7
