Synopsis of Romance in the House
Romance in the House centers around Byun Moo Jin (Ji Jin Hee), who dreams of opening a dumpling restaurant. However, his wife Geum Ae Yeon (Kim Ji Soo) doubts his ambitions because he has a history of failing at every business venture he tries. Byun Moo Jin’s constant failures eventually drive a wedge between him and his family.
Unable to cope with her husband’s repeated failures, Geum Ae Yeon decides to separate from him, a decision supported by their daughter, Byun Mi Rae (Son Na Eun). For the next 11 years, Geum Ae Yeon and Byun Mi Rae support each other, building a happy life without Moo Jin. Their tranquil life is disrupted when Moo Jin reappears as a wealthy landlord in their neighborhood.
Byun Moo Jin’s return is marked by his attempts to win back his ex-wife’s love through grand gestures and heartfelt confessions. However, his biggest challenge is his daughter, Byun Mi Rae, who has built a stable life with her mother and is determined not to let her father’s sudden return disrupt their peace.
