Great start, fell off
The first ten-ish episodes were amazing. First of all, the plot was light but also very fun to watch. The last 5 episodes or so reminded me of literally every drama that I've watched: the ML/FML running in circles, and away from each other. If you enjoy these types of romcom plots, binge tf out of this drama! It'll probably be a 8/10 or higher for you.Though I have to admit, the comedy aspect of this whole show was off the charts. The cast never failed to make me laugh every episode
Is this drama for you? Yeah, if you like
- Minor love triangles
- Wholesome, cute relationships
- A happy ending for everyone
- *light* frustration due to the plot
// SPOILERS, FINAL THOUGHTS //
I feel like the drama could've ended on episode 10, or even better, 8. Some might think I'm exaggerating, but I really feel like it should've ended when they confessed to each other. The writers were obviously adding in some cliché events (taking a trip together and breaking up at the end/love triangle/angst through small fights/time skip, it's endless) to drag out the drama for 6 whole eps imo. It was worth watching, but some would see the last episodes as a bunch of extras/filler episodes :) they were nice to watch though

Feel good, light rom-com
If you are like me and you're watching Devil Judge and Penthouse; sometimes you need a breather from all those dark, heavy scenes.This rom-com is just right up my alley. First off, I love that the setting is bright and sunny. The casts each lend their talents to portray a group of co-workers with just the right amount of sense of humor. It is a workplace which I can only dream of.
The storyline, particularly when it comes to house surveying, is a bit unique. I enjoy learning about the different Korean locations and real estate prices. The subscription angle is also something new to me, so I had to research it first to fully understand why you need a subscription to own a house.
I am glad that Kim Ji Suk is being given this break. He delivers his line comically and his role suits him well. Both he and the FL also show great chemistry together.
Still, I am only half way through this drama; but I don't find anything boring about it so far. Although from what I hear, the ending could have been better

an underrated balanced combination of realistic plot+cute romance
i wont deny,it is a typical trope BUT i would still recommend you to start it. what impressed me the most was the plot. although the male character is shown to be the typical "rich man" he has risen from hardships and efforts. plus points for that. it is going to be a typical rom com trope but hey its not like we dont like our typical kdrama romance. the side story of the male lead is quite intriguing too! its a nice and different mixture with cutesy romance. everything shown tho typical, its very realistic. how the female does small small things to save up its very easy to relate because of the realism. it makes the drama even better! love it! id recommendit for a nice light romcom drama :)))Was this review helpful to you?
Boring story
I like the main leads as I watched them in other drama, but no chemistry togethe in this drama. The pacing is too slow. The story line is ok, but the storytelling is what bores me. I forward to episode 14, after watching 5 episodes, but still don't feel the love between the main leads.The story is quite predictable.
The comical acting of the back up characters also did not help. I don't it against the actors, I have watched them in other drama and they performed well.

No chemistry
Things I liked:1 The premise. I love real estate so I was excited to see a series with this theme. Unfortunately it didn't last.
2 The FL. I've seen her in a few dramas and although she's not my favorite, I quite like her.
Things I disliked:
1 The ML. I should separate the actor and the character but let's say I can't say much about his character since I couldn't watch him. His expressions are so weird and they put me off. I tried but there was no way I spent any more time in his company.
2 The chemistry. Well, the lack, of chemistry. She looks too young, he looks too old, therefore off putting for me and I had to stop.

Un excellent drama vaudevillesque
Même s'il est vrai que je suis un inconditionnel de Jung So Min, mon jugement ne me semble pas obscurci en affirmant qu'on a affaire ici à un très très bon drama, lequel a beaucoup de similarités avec l'excellent Because This Is My First Life, autre drama avec Jung So Min avec pour trame de fond l'accession à la propriété et les difficultés de se loger en Corée. Sauf que Monthly Magazine Home est beaucoup plus drôle, plus fantaisiste, pouvant s'apparenter à un vaudeville avec des personnages hauts en couleur à l'instar de Kim Ji Seok en patron ambivalent et maladroit, la sémillante Chae Jung Ahn ou le burlesque Kim Won Hae, dont le personnage n'est pas sans rappeler son rôle dans le drama Chief Kim.Was this review helpful to you?
l’ultimo episodio ha peggiorato tutto
premetto che prima di convincermi a guardare questo drama ci ho impiegato mesi e poi mi sono convinta soltanto perché Jung so min è la mia attrice preferita.la storyline nei primi episodi era interessante, soprattutto perché di rado nei drama si parla in questo modo di case.
ho anche trovato interessante come effettivamente si siano messe in risalto le condizioni in cui spesso i coreani sono costretti a vivere.
per il resto, troppe forzature! I protagonisti non sembrano rispecchiare minimamente la loro età, si separano per questioni inutili. l’ultimo episodio è stato davvero terribile, il modo in cui è terminato sembrava solo un contentino.
mi dispiace molto, perché il cast in altri drama ha dato il meglio di sé.

Humor leve misturado a críticas sociais sobre moradia.
Na Young Won (Jung So Min)💡 Editora veterana de revista, calorosa e otimista. Vive de aluguel e acredita que “lar” é onde o coração se sente acolhido, não importa o tamanho da conta bancária.
Yoo Ja Sung (Kim Ji Suk)
📈 CEO bem-sucedido, frio e calculista. Enxerga imóveis apenas como investimento — até que percebe que certas paredes guardam histórias, não apenas cifras.
Shin Gyeom (Jung Gun Joo)
📸 Fotógrafo aventureiro e gentil, que acredita em viver o momento. Serve de contraponto leve para os conflitos pesados.
O drama cutuca aquela pergunta incômoda: o que faz de um lugar um lar? É a propriedade e a segurança financeira ou as memórias e afeto que nele habitam? Mostra que, na correria para “possuir”, muitas vezes esquecemos de “pertencer”.
Relação chefe-funcionária que evolui de embate a compreensão mútua.
Conflito entre valor afetivo e valor de mercado.
Personagens secundários que trazem frescor e humanidade.
"Casa é onde a vida acontece, não apenas onde o dinheiro está."

ALGO QUE INICIO BIEN PERO QUE DECEPCIÓN EL FINAL (A mi parecer)
No me gusto el final, la historia a mi gusto iba bien pero los ultimos dos capitulos fueron muy "apresurados" y casi sin sentido, el que pasara mucho tiempo en un punto de la historia y que sucediera así por algo muy absurdo (a mi parecer) me dejó con mal sabor de boca y para que al final a uno como espectador lo deje con esa duda de que si termina bien o no es algo ?.Lo único que quizá pueda rescatar son los personajes secundarios y la canción principal que tiene muy hermosa letra y es muy pegadiza.

Cliché
At first I was a little hesitant to watch ( because i don't like concept of poor FL and rich ML) ,but anyways I gave it a try .Till now I never regretted it. THIS IS MY FEELINGS AFTER WATCHING 4 EPISODES.For some odd reasons i dropped it. I think i watched up to 7 -8 episodes, after that i don' t feel like continuing it any more. It does feel like its not interesting anymore.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bom, mas poderia ter sido melhor
Demorei um pouco para engatar no amor por esse drama, o começo realmente me deixou irritada, e a Na Young Won ser tão condescendente com tudo que todos fazem com ela me deixava muito nervosa. O Yoo Ja Sung não ajudou nem um pouco, já que a implicância dele no começo me dava nos nervos, gosto desse tipo de casal que se forma em meio a implicância, mas estava de mais. Quando finalmente o romance começou foi maravilhoso, as cenas fofas deles como casal me deixou com com aquele sorriso bobo o ep todo, na primeira separação é compreensível, já que como boa amante de K-dramas e C-dramas isso é algo mais que comum de acontecer, ok, porem na segunda separação foi completamente sem sentido eles passarem tanto tempo separados principalmente pelo motivo da separação, eu realmente estava amando esse drama, mas esse final me decepcionou, não foi um final horrível, longe disse, já assisti outros dramas que deixaram finais bem piores, mais foi uma decepção muito grande, de um drama que eu realmente não esperava me decepcionar assim.no geral acho que vale a pena assistir principalmente pq tem boas lições e personagens bem legais.

Primera comedia del absurdo que veo hecha en Corea
Perdón amigos, no han entendido un carajo de esta brillantes comedia de absurdos.Llegué a esta película siguiendo a JUNG SO MIN a quien encuentro adorable, incluso desde el punto de vista sexual. Me sorprendió apenas vi la primera escena, eso de lanzar a alguien a la calle es propio de dramas tristes, pero algo ahí estaba raro, la pataleta y forcejeos de Na Young Won encaja en una comedia común, pero poner al CEO de la inmobiliaria, actuando como gangster y muy avieso, me fue indicando que aquí había algo más, luego de invitarla a comer para sacarla del medio y recibir de vuelta una bofetada, siendo el dueño de la empresa (después se sabe)
La trama sigue en situaciones disparatadas que se van superando unas a otras. La bella chica se presenta a escribir en una revista inmobiliaria y aparece el payaso que nunca desaparece, el tipo de la flauta. Aparece el dueño y un sinnúmero de personajes absurdos de comportamientos irreales, pero muy queribles. Las razones que se argumentan para las acciones que hacen NO TIENEN LOGICA ALGUNA. Hay una escena memorable cuando la bella se ARRODIKA a llora por pedon del dueño. Un disparate total.
