EPISODES 11-12
Our last week opens with the non-mysterious thriller of how Moo-jin made his cash. After the owner of Ae-yeon’s snack bar raised the hire, Moo-jin took out a mortgage to buy a retailer area in a redevelopment space. Sadly, the redevelopment was a rip-off, and the mortgage sharks ruined the snack bar to get their a reimbursement. After listening to that the scammer fled to Thailand, Moo-jin adopted swimsuit and spent the following ten years doing all types of strange jobs till he discovered the scammer. Moo-jin then joined forces with a wealthy madam (cameo by Website positioning Yi-sook) — whose daughter was additionally scammed out of 4 billion received — and when he caught the scammer, he handed him over to the madam.
In return, Madam gave Moo-jin the 4 billion received as a result of: 1) she needed revenge, not cash; 2) she “failed as a dad or mum” as a result of her daughter fell for a scammer, and she or he needs Moo-jin to return to Korea and develop into a greater dad or mum; 3) she was a fan of Moo-jin throughout his baseball athlete days. Pfft. For homage/gratitude/aesthetic functions, Moo-jin bought an enlarged model of Madame’s arm tattoo on his personal arm (to cowl up a scar from the scuffle with the scammer’s thugs), and the legend of his “made cash through gangsterism” was born. Heh.
Within the current, Moo-jin admits that he couldn’t inform anybody about how he bought the cash as a result of he didn’t earn it. However in a method, I’d say he did. Ten entire years in search of a scammer is not any joke! And it was actually considerate of him to refund the opposite rip-off victims when he returned to Korea. The cash thriller is a bit excessive — and on the identical time barely underwhelming — but it surely gave us the hilarious nightclub scene of the dance efficiency whereas beating up the thugs, so I forgive Present.
As for our elevator couple, they proceed with their secret workplace romance till jealous co-workers expose them through a blind merchandise. The vicious gossip devalues Mi-rae’s onerous work within the firm and makes her out to be a gold digger having fun with favoritism from CEO Nam. Tsk. Though Mi-rae is demoralized, she determines to carry out till the rumors blow over, and her boomer supervisor finally ends up being the one to interrupt the ice on their staff. I really like that Mi-rae’s staff caught up for her to the jealous co-workers, and better of all, that Mi-rae and Tae-pyeong didn’t even contemplate a noble idiocy breakup. A high notch couple for actual.
I’ve at all times favored CEO Nam, however I revered him extra when he apologized to Mi-rae for inflicting the rumors by introducing Tae-pyeong as his son and inserting him beneath her mentorship. CEO Nam then proposes to make Mi-rae his daughter-in-law, however Moo-jin is having none of it. How dare you covet my daughter after dragging her into unsavory rumors at work? The 2 fathers argue over whose little one is healthier than the opposite — quickly pausing to agree that Mi-rae is the long run (mi-rae) of J Plus, lol — till the youngsters cease their bickering fathers.
Mi-rae is embarrassed by her dad’s actions, however she admits that it felt good to have him go to bat for her. Then again, my coronary heart broke a bit for CEO Nam when Tae-pyeong bid him goodnight and walked off with out one other phrase. In a while, Moo-jin involves apologize to Tae-pyeong, and he makes an excuse for CEO Nam’s actions as nicely. In spite of everything, it’s onerous for a father to stay calm when somebody is badmouthing their child. Moo-jin helps Tae-pyeong see that his dad has his greatest pursuits at coronary heart, and Tae-pyeong finally ends up calling his dad out for a drink.
Tae-pyeong asks why CEO Nam determined to be his father, and Nam replies that it began out of a way of duty, but it surely quickly changed into real fatherly love. “I’m fortunate to have a dad such as you,” Tae-pyeong says to CEO Nam, and this sends me to the kitchen to chop some onions. Tae-pyeong tells his dad that after the internship at J Plus is over, he’ll return to being a full-time taekwondo teacher. Though the swimsuit and tie life was an attention-grabbing expertise, now that he has tried it, he is aware of for positive that it’s not his place. In return, CEO Nam honors his promise to not push his son additional to hitch the household enterprise.
As for the remainder of our characters, Mi-rae’s onerous work earns her a promotion at work. Moo-jin turns into a kids’s baseball teacher, and Ae-yeon’s dwelling procuring modelling profession takes off. Everyone has discovered their place apart from Hyun-jae — who’s hurting as a result of nobody within the household listens to him or believes in him. Truthfully, I couldn’t care much less about him, however his emotions are legitimate. Everybody within the household overlooks him because the maknae, they usually nearly by no means take his emotions into consideration. The household apologizes to Hyun-jae they usually all make up. Additionally they acknowledge that he’s the higher model of Moo-jin, enterprise smart — and whereas they encourage his enterprise concepts, they nonetheless ship him for job interviews which is a extra strong possibility. Lol.
Because the drama involves a detailed, Jae-geol apologizes for being a jerk to Moo-jin they usually mend their friendship. Jae-geol and Hairdresser Tenant additionally kickstart a romance of their very own. Househusband Tenant’s webnovel about Moo-jin’s adventures in Thailand turns into successful, and his spouse broadcasts her being pregnant. In all of this, the tenants are curious as as to whether Ae-yeon and Moo-jin will get again collectively. However whereas Moo-jin needs to get again collectively, he assures Ae-yeon that simply being there for her and the youngsters is extra essential. Mi-rae is now not against her mother and father getting again collectively, and she or he tells her mother to do no matter makes her joyful. She additionally tells her dad that she’s accomplished resenting him and that she’s glad that he’s again, and this brings Moo-jin to the verge of tears.
Ultimately, Ae-yeon decides that she likes dwelling alone, and she or he needs to maintain issues that method for now. Though she’s technically again along with Moo-jin, I feel her choice to not transfer in with him was fairly real looking after every part they’ve been by. “We don’t must dwell collectively and undergo all of the drama to be a household.” The drama concludes with Mi-rae’s narration that they’re having fun with their lives as a household. Generally aside, and typically collectively. However most significantly, they’re all fairly joyful proper now.
There we’ve it people, a satisfying finish to a cute little present. Romance within the Home was unambitious, didn’t do an excessive amount of or drag with pointless drama. The plot went at a constant and regular tempo from starting to finish, and the present was all the higher for it. My greatest a part of the drama was Mi-rae and Tae-pyeong’s romance — which is presently in my high three romances this yr. Amidst the numerous childhood first loves and destined love tales on the market, it was very nice to see a pure development of two adults going from strangers to lovers.
I got here for the second probability romance, however Mi-rae and Tae-pyeong’s love story captured my coronary heart and didn’t let go. Theirs was a well-done gradual burn that didn’t annoy or frustrate the viewers, and the chaebol dad or mum absolutely supporting their relationship was the icing on the cake. I used to be curious to see if the drama would dare to be totally different by giving us a romance with out marriage as its finish objective, and I’m glad the drama honored Mi-rae’s choice to not get married and didn’t attempt to change her thoughts. Mi-rae’s relationship with Tae-pyeong goes sturdy, they’re fortunately dwelling their greatest single couple life, and that’s sufficient.
