I didn't expect to enjoy this series as much as I did. I laughed so much and although parts were super silly or over the top; it was done in a way to make it hilarious and enjoyable to watch....until Episode 16! I hope the writer (who may write other KDramas) thinks about how an ending wraps things up nicely or is a let down. After all the main characters went thru to finally come together-the ending was a let down. I won't go into spoilers other than saying things were wrapping up beautifully until you took another turn to throw in more drama and not good drama! This is a pattern I see in some KDramas. The need to add so many plot twists is not appealing. Every characters story was good but it went downhill halfway thru Episode 16. Booo!

I love this drama so much. The drama has all the features you may be looking for a fresh, light-hearted drama, a heart-warming story, a slight pinch of mystery, and the perfect balance of Rom-Com theme. The drama has been entertaining, informative and keeping the pace of the storyline perfect.

It focuses not only on the main leads but also on the stories of the supporting casts. It shows the struggle of each character, how they have been going through because of housing issues.

I laughed, I cried and learned valuable life's lessons like money saving tips, cost cutting measures, information about real estate, etc.

I highly recommend this drama to the young generation for them to realize the importance of money savings at an early stage of life and even to the oldies in preparation of their retirement period.

JungSomin's versatility is superb as there is a complexity of emotions here. Her eyes and facial expressions speak more than words. The best acting is not just in crying but also in other emotions a person felt like when you are angry, surprised, frightened, happy, sad, etc.

JungSoMin is truly the rom-com queen...

Korean Drama "Monthly Magazine Home" is a slice of life drama with a fun couple as the main focus.

The drama offers enough cute moments, like the colourful tips on how to save money in order to buy a house. The main couple was, in addition, the biggest provider of these moments as well, especially the male lead, who was frustrating at times, but funny and enjoyable overall. The romance was also pretty sweet, but the progress was messy and close to a slow burn. The love triangle was not well handled either. Still, the side characters were interesting enough to keep things aloof and entertaining when the romance was failing to live up to its potentials.

However, what makes this drama not as good as it should have been, even though it checked all the boxes of an enemies to lovers trop, is that it is forgettable, as it didn't offer anything special, and the ending was bad. The latter was open, confused things for no real reason and it was just ridiculous. Plus, looking back, the drama didn't really leave any impression, nor had anything to say. It was just an office rom com with no sufficient plot.

So, overall, 6 out of 10.

I needed to rate this a solid ten. I love Kdrama series, but frankly, some of them seem to either loose their luster midway or simply get bogged down or repetitive trying to make the 16 episodes. To me, I found such delight in every episode. Always a new twist, a new adventure, a new relationship to iron out awaited me. So, I laughed, smiled, and clapped my hands throughout everyone of the sixteen episodes. I thought the selection of actors and actresses was absolutely perfect and every one added a special something to look forward to. Since I need to complain about something, it would be that I don't understand why the short hair "assistant" always had a black mask worn below her chin. Secondly, there is one relationship that was left unresolved. One of the perfectly delightful aspects of many Kdramas is concurrent relationships that I so much enjoy watching develop and this series nailed that.

I also wanted to say that I watched this on Amazon Prime. Prime has a horrible dearth of Kdramas and really needs to up their game. Having said that, three of the my very favorite Kdramas have been on Amazon: Hogus's Love, Flower boy next door, and now Monthly Magazine Home. We need more Amazon, Please!

Reviewing after watching whole drama TBH,this drama deserves morethan jst 5stars..Every character in dis drama will remember for long time❤

If you are fed up wth all suspense/action dramas,surely this drama will help you From Starting to ending,there was not even a single boring scene

Jungsomin and kimjiseok wow what a cute pair 😍😍😍😍
