Romance in the House

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.

This is about a fractured family due to a divorce & a parent's attempt at redemption. Father, mother, daughter & son all have their issues due to their role in the family dynamics. The series explores how these issues, to a certain extent, are not solved but just eased.

There is a focus on 2 couples. The divorced, older couple who were well cast. They had a good chemistry. Ji Jin-hee, as the father, is quite an eyeful for a man in his 50s.

The younger couple - Son Na-eun & Choi Min-ho - also physically fitted together. Their chemistry was a bit slower to develop but then that is K drama.

I liked the fact that there wasn't a rich chaebol father scheming in the background, & that there were ups & downs which seemed to be realistic. But how was the young ML the son/brother of the CEO? There seem to be a lot of illegitimate kids of rich guys out there in Korea! How the father got rich was a bit anti-climatic.

It was interesting that they stressed the development of the individual as something that is important in this ever increasing world of singles. Maybe as someone that has chosen not to be married I appreciated the idea that the females wanted to be independent.

Of the supporting cast, I enjoyed the baby boomer FL boss & the hairdresser. The writer's wife was as usual right over the top. Why did the mother wanted to be friends with her nosey neighbours I did not understand. The grandmother was particularly horrible.

Overall, I enjoyed the development of the different relationships & continued to want to see how the characters were going to behave.

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.

This series looks good with plot but poor direction, dialogues and acting make this series really dull and boring. This series has Female lead which is daughter of Family, she has very limited expressions, maybe two or three, I don't know about this actress but in this series her acting is not good. This series has one main plot and many sub plot but I think director forget about main plot and focusing on many sub plots. In Main plot story has two leads which is daughter (son na-eun) and Father (ji jin-hee) but interaction between them is very limited and in full series they have never sorted out their issues. Father act likes teen and even daughter also not looks like very mature which is claimed in story many times. From Rom-com perspectives no couple has touching chemistry they all looks too dull and comedy is also very lame. I saw ji jin-hee in DP2, his role is very limited there but In limited role he show his capability and how good he can act. I saw kim ji-soo in hwarang and she can act very good too but this is director's fault if he can't use that level of talented actors. Overall If you have 12+ hours to spare please don't waste on this boring series.

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...
