The series had potential to be a good and different romantic drama but they started focusing on the Mom too much when there is So Na-eun in the cast. Her chemistry with Cho Min-ho is very good. There was potential for office romance also. The series felt short but the way it was going I don't think anyone would want to watch it. The dynamic between the daughter and the father is the only thing that is explored other relationships are left vastly unexplored.

It does highlight how tough it is a for a poor or a low-middle class family to get into upper middle class and how much pressure it puts on the family member that is the main source of income in the family. First it was the Father, who kept failing, and then it was the daughter.

Korean Drama '' Romance in the House '' is a family melodrama with some romance thrown into it.

The drama starts out well, with the family dynamics being smooth and working in the story's favor.

However, the drama soon lost its charm and the rest of the plot was a series of random incidents.

Yes, there were some nice moments, especially between the main lead and her mother, but that was it. Also, the romance wasn't strong enough to keep things interesting.

The performances, finally, were good enough.

So, overall, five out of ten for the Korean Drama '' Romance in the House ''. It had a good start, but got weaker and weaker as it progressed.

The drama's episode 2 has released and here's my take on the drama.

It has a promising storyline and hopefully it progresses like this as the story develops. The cast and crew are good especially Kin Ji-Soo. Yet to see Ji Jin-Hee's character development but both of them are good actors regardless.

The negative part of the drama is definitely Son Na-Eun. Honestly that lady can't act and I don't understand how she is being casted. Throughout the two episodes her reaction are literally the same be it when she faints, when she exhausted, when she is overworked, when she cry, when she is angry my god there are no variations at all in terms of her expression of the emotions. She's definitely going to be the negative point of the drama should it has good storyline.

The daughter is expressionless, cold, and has no energy in this drama. Mediocre actress. Must be hard for the director to have such a limited actor. If it were a much better actress, this would have been a lot better. She is not suited to be one of the lead roles.

The young couple is boring and dull in acting

The older couple and other experienced actors carry this show. .they shine.

Overall it is a ok show. Family drama. I am not anyone's. Fan. Do not care about these kpop ypung idols. Actually . These young idols do not help this drama. Their acting is below standard level. Hope they cast someone with some acting skill.

The main male character is very handsome. I guess this is why it is OK for him to return after being gone along time, In his-previous incarnation. He went through family money and that is why hisWife became frustrated with him and left him, and the family did well without him so when he returns mysteriously rich suddenly with no explanation as to how his turn and finances came about, we are expected to hope for his reunion with his ex, no explanation of how his turn in fate came about however, some innuendo about it being illicit is allowed to Trickle through the drama. Because this basic character paradox is never really answered by episode 10,a lot is expected from the audience in terms of forgiving him, and imagining that he can reconcile with his wife and family. The 10 episodes are in this way a bit of an endurance contest and not satisfying.

The subplot of the daughters romance with the son of her boss also has its issues

The story of the daughter and mother, as they discover the way in which their relationship has been twisted by the trauma they have been through is the highlight of the drama.

The father is very watchable, the other stars Not so much. I wanted to like it, but it feels like it took too long to get to its key character development. I ran out of patience and started speeding through the story, such as I could.

I'm not sure what the story was about even though I watched it all the way to the end. It was so boring that I fell asleep through most of it. It really was a disappointment.
