Ji Jin Hee's Romance in the House Ended with a 4.2% Viewership Ratings

Romance in the House ended last weekend with a nationwide viewership rating of 4.2%. The family of Byeon Moo Jin and Ae Yeon finally got reconciled after years. Moojin explained his very reason why he disappeared from his family and it's because to catch the culprit behind the scam that ruined his life. He also became rich because of another victim's mom's reward to him after catching the culprit in Thailand. It turned out that this mom also is Moojin's baseball fan. It's really funny how unrealistic this really is but that's just how things are in this drama. Haha! 

Moojin and Ae Yeon decided to not live under the same house so that they can enjoy their solitude and go after the things they wanted as a single person. They are still a family but they do not bind themselves within that boundary anymore especially now that their children are now a person of their own too. Moojin is now working as a baseball coach while Ae Yeon is working as a model. Both of them are chasing their dreams from when they were still single. It's never too late for dreams to come true. 

Mirae moved out and is happy with her love life with Tae Pyeong. She's very clear with her preference of not getting tied in marriage though. And Tae Pyeong respected that. Hyeon Jae on the other hand is also pursuing whatever it is he wanted with full support from his family. 

Overall, I really liked this drama. It's light and fun to watch. A breath of fresh air from other on-going stressful and over dramatic series. Kkk It has beautiful family lessons that each viewers must be reminded. I'll recommend it for sure. 

Ji Jin Hee and Kim Ji Soo Shared a Kiss After a Very Long Time in "Romance in the House" Episode 10

The former landlord's daughter of the Family Villa came to blame Moojin from the death of her father. She accused Moojin of scamming her dad to invest only to steal his money. However, Ae Yeon, Mi Rae and Hyeon Jae quickly defended Moojin from the serious allegations. In the end, the truth came out when Moo Jin's tax consultant, Oh Jae Gyeol, spoke the truth and everyone in the Family Villa finally got enlightened. This situation finally brought Moojin and his family closer together again. It really was a touching scene especially when Mi Rae stood up for her father. We all know that Mi Rae hated her father for a very long time but lately, she's having a great character development and her hatred towards her father diminished greatly after seeing all efforts of Moojin in making their family happy again especially Ae Yeon. Moojin's sincerity got felt and slowly, everything's getting better. 

One of the major mysteries in this dramas has been solved and we only got one more left! In the last 2 episodes, we'll surely be able to find out how Moojin got rich and hopefully it's all legal. But I'm pretty sure that it is considering that Moojin is such a sweetheart despite his manly stance. 

Byeon Mirae got herself a love life too. It's just so cute that the loneliness and anger of Mirae slowly faded because of her love life. Seriously, love life can solve several negative emotions. kkk It's proven and comes out very effective! Nam Tae Pyeong got literally close to her too because the CEO made her the mentor of him in the company. It turns out that CEO and Tae Pyeong had an agreement that Tae Pyeong would work in the company for 3 months. 

Ji Jin Hee Stayed Loyal to Kim Ji Soo in Romance in the House Episodes 5 and 6

Moojin and Ae Yeon got divorced because of Moojin's series of business failures and putting the future of their children on the line. Moojin didn't really abandon the family, he was ousted by Ae Yeon and Mi Rae. He got no choice but to pick himself up, on his own, and go far away from them. Hmmm... I'm really trying to understand both sides as more details are being laid out to us with each new episode. 

Moojin, as what Ae Yeon has described of him, is an immature guy. He lives like a single man, betting everything he has including the family's finances for the businesses that he wanted to put up without having back ups. He ain't emotionally connected deeply with the kids either. Even if I was Ae Yeon, I'd want him out of my life because just like what Ae Yeon said... Moojin won't wake up from doing countless mistakes if they didn't separate at all. However, I couldn't help but also sympathize with Moojin. That guy got nothing left when he was ousted by Ae Yeon and Mirae from their family, what he had gone through to be where he is right now might've been really tough. But... (yes, we got an endless buts here) what Ae Yeon and Mi Rae had gone through ain't easy either. Sigh... this is really complicated. I wonder how they will fix this. 

Anyway, I hope that Moojin would start to be honest and transparent with Ae Yeon again because if he won't talk about what happened to him, the suspicions ain't gonna fade at all. If he wants to win his family back again then he should start talking. Ae Yeon only got glimpse of Moojin's past in Thailand only because she spoke to his neighbor who happened to have been acquainted with Moojin before. So that thing between Moojin and Jeong In got cleared to us. At least Moojin stayed loyal to Ae Yeon all this while. kkk 

Mi Rae, on the other hand, is still working hard and it won't be long that her body would break down. But another problem has added to her plate as she saw her mom with Moojin going inside a motel. Vice versa, she also got caught by her mom doing the same thing with Nam Tae Pyeong. lol That was a hilarious scene in episode 4. Another misunderstanding has arise and a villain is brewing at the side named Oh Jae Gyeol. Hmmm... Moojin is way too busy with his family that he isn't aware of the hidden agendas of Jae Gyeol. Hopefully Moojin won't get scammed or else he's back to square one again! Yayks!

Ji Jin Hee Apologizes to Son Na Eun in Romance in the House | Episodes 3 and 4 Review

Romance in the house tackles about the reality of life for those who are breadwinners in general. The hardships and sacrifice are just insane and hopefully those who are being provided will remain grateful and supportive to these breadwinners. Imagine, Mirae was so young but she needed to grow up quickly to protect and provide for her mom and little brother. She took responsibility of something that is supposed to be done by the father of the household but Moojin abandoned them. I really do understand where Mirae is coming from, hating his father. Now that Moojin is back as if nothing had happened, Mirae felt all her sacrifices and hardships all these years will be for nothing if they take Moojin back to their family and provide for them now that he's wealthy. I feel bad for Moojin being hated like that but if I were to stand in Mirae's shoes, then I'd say he really deserve the hate. 

It feels really pathetic to compete in providing for the family with someone who is rich. Mi Rae works nonstop now even though she's feeling the fatigue to prove herself that she can give anything her family wanted and yet it still felt not enough. I know her mom felt how hard Mirae is trying and hopefully she'll take some actions real soon before Mirae faint again at work. On the other hand, I'm happy that Moojin apologized to Mirae in episode 4. It took him long but at least it's already out there. Hopefully, Moojin would become transparent to his family if he really wanted them back in his life. He should start apologizing then explain everything that happened on why he abandoned them and what he had gone through to get all the money he has now. It's not about trust anymore, it's been gone since he abandoned his family which is why he should work hard to gain that trust from his family again. 

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?
