Romance in the House

Was prepared to give this a higher rating until the very last episode which was blasé; updates and conclusions of ea. Family member was nothing to rave about and disappointing IMO.

My stars go to the following: Favorite Couple: Mi-Rae and Security Guard (CEO's son) Favorite actors: Security Guard, Moo-jin (Mi-Rae's dad), and Mi-Rae.

Best Scene: 2 father's fighting to protect their daughter, son (Mi-Rae's dad &Security Guard's dad the CEO)

Overall was a cute romance with my favorite couple. Story was more about family struggles than romance though as the title might suggest, and the family struggles didn't really interest me that much other than the security guard's career struggle.

Starts off as a murder mystery when the place burns down but later turns into a ridiculous story that didn't seem that humorous to me. The funniest moment IMO was the fight scene between the 2 fathers as it escalates.

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.

If they focused more on kim jisoo and ji jin-hee, I would have given a higher rating. The supporting characters are all fun to watch as well. But I think we all can agree who the weakest link is here! Too much airtime for the daughter. I had never seen this actress, son na-eun? I was initially shocked at first glance. I know kim jisoo was and still a big name? So they made sure the daughter wouldn't outshine her? Is that the case? Bcus I hate to say this about looks but from the digging I did, this actress did it to herself. The amount of work done to make her look like THIS is bonkers to me. It's very distracting. I do look away and just listen when she's on the screen. And her storyline doesn't help her cause. This could have been a fun caper! Kim jisoo and her neighbors go on a fun adventure to find out what MooJin had been doing for the last 11 years! Ugh what could have been...

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.
