## Synopsis

Monthly Magazine Home (2021) is a Korean national-television romance drama miniseries created by Myung Soo-Hyun for JTBC. Set in present-day Seoul, the show follows the editors of a home magazine whose working lives are tangled with their private romantic lives. Kim Ji-seok plays Yoo Ja Sung, a man who buys houses, and Jung So-min plays Na Young Won, a woman who lives in one of them, and their developing bond sits at the center of the story. Jung Gun-joo, Chae Jung-an and Kim Won-hae fill out the magazine ensemble, and each colleague brings a separate thread of ambition, rivalry and longing to the office. The engine of the series is the slow pull between people who are constantly looking at homes, staging rooms and imagining futures, while their own relationships stay unsettled. Episodes move through photo shoots, property visits and editorial deadlines, giving the drama a grounded, observational texture. The sixteen-episode run is a single continuing story with a warm, wistful register, with moments of humor and quiet melancholy. Fans of Something in the Rain and What's Wrong with Secretary Kim will find similar resonance in its mix of workplace comedy and adult romance, its cozy domestic imagery and its interest in the emotional lives of city professionals.
