As we head towards the end of 2023 (already!), a fresh new crop of dramas are being planted for the new year and MBC announced that the screwball comedy and thriller Our House (previously Gaslighting) has been added to their 2024 lineup.
Kim Hee-sun (Remarriage & Desires) stars as celebrity personality Noh Young-won, a famed family psychologist with the picture-perfect life, magically balancing both work and family. Does she have secrets? Of course, this is dramaland after all. But with one mysterious incident, Young-won’s secrets tornado their way back into her life, threatening to endanger her happiness and loved ones.
With their family pushed to the plank, Young-won is unable to protect them on her own, forcing her to team up with her gruff mother-in-law Lee Hye-young (Big Bet), playing Hong Sa-kang. Nicknamed Korea’s Agatha Christie, Sa-kang is a popular mystery-thriller novelist and is fiercely devoted to her one and only son.
Enter Kim Nam-hee (Family: The Unbreakable Bond) as said son, named Choi Jae-jin. Although it isn’t stated, I would guess that Jae-jin must be hiding things as well because – so far – his character sounds too good to be true. Described as a doting husband and an understanding dad, Jae-jin is also a well-respected doctor.
Rounding out the main cast, we don’t yet know much about Yeonwoo (Numbers) in the role of Lee Se-na. All we’re told is that she’s very guarded, veiled in ~mystery~ and secrets.
On the production side, directing for the black comedy is helmed by PD Lee Do-hyun (Doctor Lawyer, She Knows Everything) with scripts penned by Nam Ji-yeon (So I Married an Anti-fan). Slated to premiere in 2024, MBC’s Our House will be airing in the weekend slot.
