 Reflecting on the true meaning of a happy ending family completed without reuniting (Family X Melo)
JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Family X Melo' ended with a happy ending without reuniting. Although they decided not to be together again, they touched each other by conveying the message that family is something that makes each other special, whether they are together or separate.

In the final episode, which aired on the 15th, Byun Moo-jin (Jin Ji-hee) and Geum Ae-yeon (Kim Ji-soo) decided to postpone the reunion for a while and respect their lives. Mujin took over the children's baseball class to prepare for a new start, and Ae-yeon was busy with home shopping models, purchasing used cars and receiving training in driving to be reborn as `cool human beings.'

Byun Mi-rae (Son Na-eun) was still living a passionate office worker's life by being promoted to a deputy, but she continued her happy daily life by finding peace in her relationship with her boyfriend Nam Tae-pyeong (Choi Min-ho). Byun Hyun-jae (Yoon San-ha) won the trust of his family through actions, not words, and showed a challenge toward his dream.

Even though the family lived separately, they felt happy by sharing their lives with each other through 'Potluck' meetings once a month. The appearance of those who supported each other even though they were separate reminded me of the true meaning of family.

In particular, Taepyeong resolved the conflict with his father, Nam Chi-yeol (Jung Woong-in), respected their lives, and shared true reconciliation. The father's respect for Taepyeong's decision to return to taekwondo as a Taekwondo teacher added a warm impression.

'Family X Melo' goes beyond just family dramas, showing families supporting each other while living different lives, leaving a deep resonance for viewers.
