Rating: 6.4/10 (MyDramaList)Plot Overview: This romantic-comedy-drama revolves around Hong Na Ri, a flight attendant who returns to her hometown after her mother's death. She is shocked to find a young man, Go Nan Gil, claiming to be her stepfather, having married her mother before she passed away. As Na Ri tries to unravel the truth behind Nan Gil's sudden appearance, they begin to develop feelings for each other, leading to a series of comedic and romantic events. Why It Received Low Ratings: While the premise of "The Man Living in Our House" was unique and had the potential for both humor and heartfelt moments, the execution fell flat. The pacing of the drama was often too slow, with repetitive scenes that didn't add much to the overall narrative. The romantic development between the lead characters lacked chemistry, making their relationship feel unconvincing. Additionally, the drama struggled to balance its comedic elements with the more serious undertones, resulting in a jarring tonal shift. These issues led to a decline in viewer interest, reflected in its low ratings.

The music was awful, old fashioned and pretty much blaring throughout the whole series. I got to around episode 10? In two sittings but only by fast forwarding most of each episode. The story was a bit silly but entertaining enough and that was not the problem.

Again we have an annoying plain Jane female lead who would never have one model in love with her, never mind three eye candies? Two of whom were/are models in real life? Horrible whiny personality and, again Lee Soo Hyuk is reduced to the role of sorry fifth wheel as he was in Valid Love and High School King of Savvy. The only difference being that in High School, the female lead was a genuinely nice person and she had obvious reasons for rejecting him.

Zero credibility in the relationship between the female lead and 'I hate fat women/ugly people' Kim Young Kwang.

If only these romcoms could sort out the writing and casting, they'd be a pleasure to watch as the initial premise, direction and male acting is usually pretty good.

As an aside, the character of Lee Soo Hyuk's little sister, and the actress who played her, were a nightmare. Is this style of acting and scenario funny in a parallel universe? Give the whole thing a miss, unless you like LSH in weird suits and polo necks. I don't know who did his wardrobe but I assume it was meant to be a joke? Still looks beautiful though, before the great ps event c2017.

The first 6 episodes were smooth, but than the plot turned dull and confusing. Plus the comedy element was a little bit weak, and so was the chemistry between the main actor and actress. If it weren't for the man lead, I would say this series painful to watch.

Overall it's a pretty good show. Like the non romantic plot line. Some of the romantic plot line was alright. Though the lead female sometimes drives me crazy. I don't want to give any spoilers but, she's dated before and still does stupid stuff that's inappropriate. She's always getting mad at the male lead over dumb crap. She's late 20's international age after dating for 9 years, so there's no excuse for her to act like she doesn't know relationship rules. The last several episodes were not as good. The lawyer got on my nerves a lot. (Love the actor, just disliked his character at times) Seriously not every Kdrama needs a frickin love triangle. I hardly leave reviews but I had to stop episode 15 several minutes before the end, to write one.

This is a must see drama. It has everything from comedy, to romance, to some action! I was so sad when it was over. I'm rewatching again!
