What happens

Be My Dream Family (Korean: 속아도 꿈결) is a South Korean television series starring Choi Jung-woo, Park Joon-geum, Wang Ji-hye, Hahm Eun-jung, and Joo Ah-reum. The series, directed by Kim Jeong-gyoo and written by Yeo Myung-jae, revolves around two culturally different families becoming one when their parents remarry. The daily drama was premiered on KBS1 on March 29, 2021, and aired every weekday at 20:30 (KST) till October 1. Although Be My Dream Family was consistently among the three most-watched television programs in South Korea every day, it drew the lowest viewership for KBS1's traditional 20:30 (KST) family drama time slot. Its ratings never increased from its pilot-episode figure of 18.4%, and it was the first in that time slot to never break the 20% mark. During Chuseok, the 111th and 112th episodes of Be My Dream Family drew nationwide ratings of 9.7% and 9.3%—the first time in 11 years that a KBS1 daily drama got single-digit ratings since Happiness in the Wind was defeated by a World Cup game. Lead actor Ryu Jin admitted that Be My Dream Family made a "new attempt" on the format and that it was "not the existing daily drama style," but thought there should still be "a drama that touches the heart."
