Romance in the House episode 5 aired on Saturday, August 24, 2024, on JTBC and Netflix. It is a family drama revolving around a man trying to win back his family after a decade. It stars Ji Jin-Hee, Son Na-Eun, Kim Jee-Soo, and Choi Min-Ho in the main roles.
In the previous episode, Ae-Yeon (Jee-Soo) learned about Moo-Jin’s (Jin-Hee) return. The Episode 4 synopsis reads, “Moo-Jin clears himself of suspicion in the fire incident. Later, Ae-Yeon briefly disappears, leading to a chaotic family reunion at the police station.”
Meanwhile, episode 5 begins with a flashback featuring the day Moo-Jin and Ae-Yeon got married. She was pregnant and did not hold a wedding; instead, she clicked a wedding photo at a studio. They promised love to each other forever and ever after. Later, Moo-Jin failed to become a reliable and responsible family man and left his wife a decade ago. Now, he has returned to win back what he lost 10 years ago.
What happens in Romance in the House Episode 5?
Romance in the House episode 5 further shows a short interaction between Moo-Jin and his ex-lover, Jeong-In. It appears they met in Thailand after he left his family in Korea. They fell in love but parted ways.
The next day, Ae-Yeon yells at her daughter Mi-Rae (Na-Eun) and asks her to stay away from her and Moo-Jin’s matter. Later, Moo-Jin tries to impress his ex-wife, who accepts his dinner suggestion. After their meal, Ae-Yeon lashes out at him and attempts to make him understand that he should not spend money. She fears that he will go bankrupt again.
In response, Moo-Jin says that she can keep him in check. She asks, “Why me?” Moo-Jin replies, “Geum Ae-Yeon is the only woman in my life.” After a long pause, Ae-Yeon tells him to date someone else and move on, leaving him heartbroken. Moo-Jin leaves the restaurant when she claims he has no place in her tiny family.
Meanwhile, Tax Accountant Jae-Geol is planning a move against Moo-Jin and thinks Ae-Yeon is a threat to his plan. On the other hand, Ae-Yeon spends a day with Mi-Rae and states that she got the strength to divorce Moo-Jin years ago because of her daughter.
Later at night, Mi-Rae bumps into Tae-Pyeong (SHINee’s Min-Ho), and his gestures make her heart flutter. However, Mi-Rae believes it is dangerous to get closer to him. She rudely warns him, “You keep being nice to me, and it bothers me.” He gets confused about her behavior and his feelings for her.
Ae-Yeon finds Jeong-In in a drunk condition outside their apartment complex. She brings the latter inside and finds an old photo of Jeong-In and Moo-Jin. She then recalls how and when she met the lady and became friends. Ae-Yeon looks disappointed, thinking that Jeong-In is likely her ex-husband’s lover. Ae-Yeon tries to confront her friend but fails miserably.

Tae-Pyeong once again comes to Mi-Rae’s rescue in Romance in the House episode 5. While strolling along the beach, she spots her father, Moo-Jin. Mi-Rae expresses her disappointment in his return, while Moo-Jin states that he wants to make amends.
Later, the father-daughter meets again. Moo-Jin hands over a pledge, which he promises to leave as his daughter wants. He decides to transfer all his property to Ae-Yeon. His decision makes Mi-Rae furious, and she warns him that he cannot leave until he deals with his son Hyeon-Jae. The latter was previously caught bunking school. He told Mi-Rae that their father had returned, so he would quit his school and start a business. Hence, Mi-Rae orders his father to take responsibility for his son and raise him as he returns.
Towards the end of the episode, Ae-Yeon confronts Moo-Jin about his relationship with Jeong-In. Initially, he becomes shocked, but later, he asks if she is jealous.
