“Romance in the House” is a Korean romantic comedy series starring Ji Jin-hee, Kim Ji-su and Son Na-eun.
Netflix is bringing us yet another light-hearted comedy series, perfectly suited for a leisurely Saturday binge-watch. Each episode promises to entertain as we follow along chapter by chapter.
Plot Overview
The storyline unfolds following a mysterious fire that leads to the accidental death of a building’s owner. In a twist of fate, two of the building’s tenants receive a phone call informing them that the new owner is a millionaire who, by sheer coincidence—or perhaps not—is the estranged husband who has now struck it rich.
About the Series
Since the groundbreaking success of Squid Game in 2021, Netflix has heavily invested in the production and distribution of Korean series. This burgeoning industry has showcased an impressive variety of genres, including action-packed thrillers, dystopian dramas, romantic tales, and a plethora of comedies imbued with a unique and consistently humorous touch.
Romance in the House is a prime example of these light and uncomplicated comedies designed solely to provide viewers with a delightful experience. While it may not aim to be anything more than an engaging television show, it does not compromise on the quality of its photography, set design, and overall production values.
The series revolves around an intriguing premise—a father who reemerges as a wealthy individual—and features four talented actors who bring this resurrected family dynamic to life. The narrative is infused with a distinctive sense of humor that will occasionally have you laughing out loud, only to seamlessly shift to a more dramatic and sentimental tone, at times bordering on the poetic.
True to Netflix’s usual format, Romance in the House is released in episodic installments on Saturdays. Therefore, viewers will have to wait with anticipation for subsequent episodes to continue the story.
While we have only glimpsed a small portion of the series so far, it has already proven to be an enjoyable watch. Without striving for grandeur, it succeeds in providing a thoroughly entertaining experience.
The series premiered on Saturday, the 10th, exclusively on Netflix.
