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.

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 first thing I wanna make clear here is that it's a good drama overall.

The story that envolves a family who seemed lost when the father and ex husband come out of nowhere being the landlord of their building (and rich). The writers should have been praised here by how well they made everything interesting enough to catch our attention and make it humorously at the same time.

While watching it made me think about my relationship with my mother and sometimes I saw myself fully understanding how hard was to Aeyeon to put Mirae back in his role of daughter and not the head family because I saw myself judging my mother for actions that it doesn't need my approval.

There were some scenes that came so cringe that almost made me drop this drama, but I'm glad that I didn't that because it all worked well in the end.

The plot twists, the way they wrapped up every little story made me feel like if they went to 16 episodes, it would turn out good too.

In the end, I really recommend you to give a chance go this kdrama because it'll be a good choice. It's a good drama who have deep questions and a good end.

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.

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.
