What is Romance in the House about?
Romance in the House stars Ji Jin Hee, Kim Ji Soo, Son Na Eun and Choi Min Ho.
The Korean drama follows a divorced mother and her two adult children who have spent the last year believing the childrens’ father, who was a constant failure in every business venture he attempted, had died in a traffic accident.
But, after holding a memorial ceremony for the man, he suddenly reappears in their life.
