Ji Jin-hee is newly landlord of Romance in the House
by tccolb
A new teaser is out for JTBC’s upcoming Romance in the House (previously Family x Melo), with the once hapless Ji Jin-hee (D.P. 2) proving that he must have been good-for-something after all, now that he’s returned with newfound success to win back his family and wife Kim Ji-soo (High Class).
Opening with Geum Ae-yeon (Kim Ji-soo) taking in the shocking news, we read in the animated captions that her, “Nouveau-riche ex-husband has returned as the building owner.” And he bought the villa with 100% cash! But Ae-yeon finds all this hard to believe when the accursed Byun Mu-jin (Ji Jin-hee) was supposedly still living at his older sister’s house, at least until last year.

As the Bond-esque music ramps up in the background, the rumors and bets start flying among the building tenants, because how exactly did Mu-jin come by his sudden wealth? As unit 202’s Kim Do-hyun (Queen of Tears) puts it – and the captions agree – that something smells fishy. Although Mu-jin meets with the residents to explain why he bought the villa, it’s not enough to reassure suspicions.
Adding to the mystery, son Yoon San-ha (Crazy Love) finds something odd in Mu-jin’s closet while daughter Sohn Na-eun (Agency) fumes, and basement tenant Kim Ki-chun (Chicken Nugget) cryptically reveals that, “I saw the new building owner, that day.” Sensing danger, we also see Taekwondo instructor (and local mart security guard + secret chaebol) Min-ho (The Fabulous) come to Ae-yeon’s rescue.
But our frustrated hero feels wrongly accused, defending that, “They don’t even know the extent of what I went through in order to get to this place!” In the sequence, we see what must be more red herrings, with a glimpse of Mu-jin’s tattooed arm and then a sequin-clad Mu-jin fighting in a club. The teaser then ends with Ae-yeon demanding to know Mu-jin’s real identity.
Directed by PD Kim Da-ye with scripts by Kim Young-yoon, JTBC’s Romance in the House will be following Miss Night and Day in the weekend slot, premiering on August 10.
