Personal Insights
My Thoughts on Bad Prosecutor
‘Romance in the House’ is a family drama that explores themes of second chances and forgiveness. Thanks to its tone and pacing, this one falls more into the romantic drama category than rom-com. But there are plenty of silly moments. The cast is talented and the reunion of the leads, who starred together back in 2013, is a fun touch.
Unfortunately, the plot just felt kind of average. The blend of romance, family melodrama, comedy, and mystery all crammed into 12 episodes made the plot feel like a lackluster hodgepodge of dramas we have seen before; particularly last year’s “Not Others”. For me, the bottom line is, this is not a bad drama. I enjoyed it enough in the moment to keep watching. But there was nothing especially memorable about it. I give ‘Romance in the House’ a 7 out of 10 ramen.
