Eagerly looking for dramas/movies about the older brother taking the parent role after the death of parents or because of having abusive parents.. The eldest child protecting and deeply caring for his siblings. 

I'm looking for REAL siblings (not friends/cousins etc)  with AMAZING relationships.

do you guys have any recommendations :)

I have also enjoyed: East of Eden, Hello Monster, brothers beat, Rinne no Ame, Ugly Alert, The First Born

  • It's Okay to Not Be Okay - Younger brother looks out for his older brother with special needs.
  • Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty - As a father, the emperor lets his sons fight for power to check and balance their influence. The princes form alliances, and two brothers in particular deeply care for each other, protect each other, and are unfalteringly loyal to one another. The plot / writing in this drama is pretty basic, but if you just care about the brothers their relationship is a big part of the drama.

Flower of Evil - older brother and younger sister are orphaned and the brother is protective of the sister.

  • Liver or Die - orphans
  • Take My Brother Away - divorced parents
  • First Love - no father
  • While You Were Sleeping 
  • Reunited World - only a grandmother present
  • Shoot for the Stars 
  • Breathless
  • The Disguiser 
  • ryusei no kizuna 

The Innocent Man (2012) - Older brother taking of younger sick sister

 celestial:

Flower of Evil - older brother and younger sister are orphaned and the brother is protective of the sister.

If I remember correctly, isn't the sister older than the brother?


Circle - Older brother spends most of his life trying to find his younger brother after losing his memories.  After finding him, the older brother does not consider him his younger brother because of reasons. However, they reconcile and the older brother becomes very protective of him.
