1. The wrong sister
   

   Please help! I watched a movie in 2018. I don’t really know when it was made but I forgot the name and I wanna finish that movie. It was about a small girl whose mother died. She had to go live with her dad and stepmom. They had debts and the stepmom gave the stepdaughter up to the people they owe money to but she gets saved and later adopted by a rich woman who didn’t have a child of her own. The rich woman later had an accident and had to go overseas for treatment. The little girl went back to her family. About 20 years later, the rich woman returned and doctors recommended she see her adopted daughter. The stepmother, instead of sending the real girl, sent her own daughter to pretend as if she was the adopted one.

    

2. The other stepsister
   

   I’m desperately searching for help to find an old drama. It’s about two step sisters. The younger one lives with a mother who is a famous actress, but the mother doesn’t seem to really love her daugther. The older sister lives with a rich father. The father remarried the actress. The younger sister is often jealous of her stepsister who managed to get close to her actress mother. Also, the older sister has a rich childhood friend. There was a scene I remember where they both ride a bike in the forest, fell, and rolled and rolled. Please, could you help me find this drama? It’s not Cinderella’s Sister. That, I’m sure of.

    

3. The surprise sibling
   

   I remember watching this drama series back in 2008-2009. I’m pretty sure it’s Korean, but if I’m mistaken it could be Chinese or Taiwanese drama as well. A husband and a father to one kid was with a single mother. One day, when his wife was snooping around his office, she found a box of necklace and she thought he was going to give it to her as a gift. The next day, when the woman he was cheating with (the single mother), came to deliver coffee to his house, the wife was the one who opened the door. The wife saw the necklace and got confused. Another scene I remember was that they all ended up in the same hospital. I don’t know how, but this man’s biological kid heard his dad in the hallway and saw him with the single mother’s kid who was calling him “dad.”

    

4. The reluctant sibling
   

   It is a pretty old family drama, all I remember is that there was an adopted son who had run away from home (during the beginning episodes). And when he came home he was always taunted by his grandma and uncle for “not being their blood.” His mother and brother loved him though… and he had a different last name from his family which upset him a lot. In one of the episodes where he ran away, his brother went to get him and it was like an outdoor scene where he cried and told his brother that “When we were little and people would talk about us not being biological brothers you would let go of my hand.” Something like that. Please help me remember the name of this drama. Oh and yes, his adoptive mom loved him a lot too. Please help! Thank you.

    

5. The twin sisters
   

   They are twin girls and they got split apart. One is rich and the other girl is poor and the poor youngest sister got pregnant by Park Seo-joon in the drama and then the poor twin had to act like the rich twin.

    

Thanks for playing, everyone — till next time!
