JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama “Romance in the House” has released new stills of Ji Jin Hee, Kim Ji Soo, and Son Naeun!
Written by Kim Young Yoon of “My Secret Romance” and directed by Kim Da Ye of “My ID Is Gangnam Beauty,” “Romance in the House” depicts the journey of individuals who were once estranged but strive to reunite as a family, recognizing the profound effort, introspection, and tears required. Ji Jin Hee stars as Byun Moo Jin, who was divorced by his wife Geum Ae Yeon 11 years ago when his business collapsed, while Kim Ji Soo plays Byun Moo Jin’s ex-wife Geum Ae Yeon, who raises her two children alone while navigating all kinds of hardships.
In the premiere of “Romance in the House,” viewers will witness a dramatic twist: Moo Jin, who was cut off and thought to be dead by his family 11 years ago, makes a shocking return. He appears before his former wife Ae Yeon and his two children—Mi Rae (Son Naeun) and Hyun Jae (ASTRO’s Sanha)—looking perfectly fine.
Moo Jin’s comeback is a surprise not just for his old family but also for everyone at the villa, where he has become the new owner of a property worth 3 billion won (approximately $2.2 million). This significant change from his previous role as the family’s struggling provider is sure to be a major talking point.
Moo Jin returns to his family with the goal of reclaiming his roles as husband, father, and head of the household. However, his daughter Mi Rae is fiercely opposed to his return. His repeated business failures had a significant impact on Mi Rae’s mother, Ae Yeon, leading to many challenges.
Since their divorce, Mi Rae, who developed strong resentment toward her father, has become a successful merchandiser (MD) at a large supermarket and a fierce protector of her mother. Now determined to prove she is thriving without him, Mi Rae is ready to block Moo Jin’s attempts to win Ae Yeon back, showing even more resolve than she did when she cut ties with him at 18.
Moo Jin’s return isn’t just mysterious because of his shocking newfound wealth, but also because of the many secrets he’s keeping. He refuses to say how he made his money or what he did during the 11 years after his divorce.
His mysterious circumstances creat more buzz at the family villa, with people growing increasingly curious about the hidden stories behind his secrets because of the hint of possible criminal activity surrounding him.
“Romance in the House” is set to premiere on August 10 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
