Ji Jin Hee Returns To His Family But as their Landlord in Romance in the House | Episodes 1 & 2 Quick Review


Romance in the House starring Ji Jin Hee, Kim Ji Soo, Son Na Eun and Choi Minho has a promising start as it garners 4.7 and 5.1% in the nationwide viewership ratings for episodes 1 and 2 respectively. It's considerably high considering that it airs in a cable tv. This drama also entered Netflix Top 10 TV series in my country which also pushed me to watch this drama. 

Aside from Ji Jin Hee, Choi Min Ho and a few familiar side characters in this drama, I don't know anyone else anymore. But since Ji Jin Hee is part of the main cast, I've given this a chance and quickly got hooked. The last I've saw this actor in a drama was probably way back Jewel in the Palace series. Lol I'm not sure whether I've seen him from somewhere else, but that's the only one I could think of right now. Other than Ji Jin Hee, there's Minho too. I know most of you knew him as the guy from Hwarang kdrama but as for me, I only knew him as a kpop idol from Shinee. I know he's been into acting but I've never seen him act at all. So I wanna give it a try watching him here now. 


The drama's start was promising. It's about a family which dad was pushed away by his family due to serious problems that he got caught involving series of business failures and debt from loan sharks. When Geum Ae Eun (Kim Ji Soo) and Byeon Moo Jin (Ji Jin Hee) got married, he tried several businesses using both of their money. However, all of it fail. He has no luck when it comes to money or businesses at all. Which is why, Geum Ae Eun tried her luck in the business world instead of Moo Jin. Ae Eun warned Moo Jin not to bring problem to their newest business as it's their only hope to recover from their losses. However, despite Moo Jin agreeing not to do anything, the loan sharks that he used to transact with before asked payment from him. In the end, since Moo Jin got no money to pay back, they ruined the newly opened business of Ae Eun. This put the whole family in a financial crisis and this became the reason of Byeon Mi Rae to hate her father. 


Feeling hopeless, Ae Eun decided to part ways with Moo Jin and due to Mi Rae's hate, she told him that she no longer has a father. Then, after a while, the news of an accident flashed through their TV screen. The whole family thought it was Moo Jin who got caught in an accident due to the familiar motorcycle and the words engraved on it. Since then, they moved on with their lives with the knowledge that Moo Jin was already dead. 


Fast forward to a year, Moo Jin came back to his family as a rich charismatic landlord of their apartment. The intriguing part here though is that, there was a fire that caused the death of the ex landlord. What could be the involvement of Moo Jin with it?
