Room For Love: "Romance In The House" Series Review

Let me start by tagging @quduus1 to this post before it skips my mind again just like how this series have been skipping my mind since he recommended it to me. For a long while now, it's been from one series to another and in between, I see some short interesting movies. So there is like a long list of series I'll need to review and an even longer watch list to see.

Talk of a perfect title for a series, I could already guess there would be good romance before I saw it but I didn't see the comedy coming. Although I was told by who recommended it to me that it's a crazy storyline but the experience was like I wasn't prepared for what they had to show.

"Romance In The House" is a 12 episode series released in the year 2024 starring Ji Jin-hee and Kim Ji-Soo as the main lead characters, an unlikely leads in my history of watching kdrama. There is also the "lots of screen time" supporting characters Son Na-eun and Choi Min-ho and other characters that played key roles in bringing the storyline to life.

The storyline is about a middle aged man who after failing in business leaves his family and comes back 11 years after as a landlord to the villa his family still lives in. The daughter is against her parents getting back together and his son is just so happy to have his family in one place again but the man will have to win back his family to live together again.

The story is also about hardworking company worker who has a hatred for her father because of the past, she is bent on keeping her parents apart as she encounters a fellow company worker who turned out to be the CEO's son and they fall in love with each other.

While I'm very familiar with the male lead character supporting in other series and Choi Min Ho from the series "To The Beautiful You", I'm not familiar with the other characters especially Son Na-eun. It's my first time seeing her in a series so you could say, this series decided if she won me over as a fan or didn't. Well, the answer is "She didn't!". I'd choose other actresses over her, just my thought.

But it doesn't mean she didn't play out her role well enough in this series, I think her role influenced my reason for choosing other actresses over her. Well, it doesn't mean I may never see other series she may have starred in, just won't be interested to find out lol. Her brother in this series is a new face to me but I got curious.

I like the storyline but I'm in no way satisfied with the story the lead character gave as his reason for staying away from his family for that long. It's one of those 1% percent chance of happenings in the world and it didn't even change the fact that he is still a failure in business, not so good really.

It's great that they gave good enough screen time to the neighbours but the one for the nerd was unnecessarily too much, trying to make the series have some thrills but I didn't feel any thrill in that at all. Anyways, it was still a good watch for me and I love the comedy and different love stories in one.

The series was recommended to me and I'd love to recommend it to you if you're yet to see it, it got a rating of 7/10 from me. Would you see this series?

I think after reading the review I am not sure I will watch it for sure. I think 7 rating is not enough to watch 😅. at least 7.5 needed.

Lol you can't trust my rating to not see it, if you will enjoy comedy, go for it.

I laughed so hard watching this. There's a lot of twists and misunderstanding. I love the ending of this drama and honestly, I hope they'll make it to another season but it's not likely. I don't think this was meant to be realistic but just over the top funny romance K-drama.

Haha I'd definitely see it if there was another season.
The comedy was so good really.
