Nine years isn’t super long but it feels like forever when one is stuck in the world of intense melodramas. That’s the case with K-actress Su Ae who is making her drama comeback this fall with the KBS Mon-Tues rom-com The Man Living in Our House. She’s been doing dramas consistently but all her works in the last nine years have been melodramas that range from revenge to thrillers.
The Man Living in Our House will be Su Ae’s first romantic comedy since 9 Ends 2 Outs (2 Outs in the Bottom of the 9th Inning) back in 2007. The drama is still looking for her titular Man living in the same house after Yoo Seung Ho passed on the role followed by Yoon Shi Yoon also not inking the offer. The third time might be the charm as the offer is out to Kim Young Kwang to play the younger man romantic interest opposite Su Ae, with Jo Boa and Lee Soo Hyuk in talks as the second leads.
The Man Living in Our House is adapted from a webtoon of the same time, telling the cohabitation romance between a flight attendant returning to her deceased mother’s house and finding a man younger than her claiming to be her stepdad as he married her mother right before she died. Directing will be the PD of Joseon Gunman and The Princess’s Man, while the screenwriter of Flower Boy Next Door will be adapting the webtoon into the drama script. The Man Living in Our House will follow Moonlight Drawn by Clouds and afterwards comes the flower boys in Shilla drama Hwarang.

Poor Soo Ae. After years of great leading men she is now paired with KYK. I mean dont give me wrong he is good looking but thats about it. So many things wrong with this casting.
Blaaah i hate Young Kwang.
I thought when i read the news about this drama earlier the female lead found a man in her age as her step father now it change to younger man????actually i like the premise but i prefer "man in her age" why kdrama often describe nuna romance, are many korean man like older woman???
I liked Soo Ae in Mask (it was a shock to me when I saw that she didn't receive any awards for her performance in that drama).
I don't know much about KYK. I remember he was in White Christmas. I've also seen him, I think, in several dramas I dropped... I'm not sure about his acting style.
By the way, the plot seems a bit foolish (not that I mind).
Sounds interesting...
Can someone, anyone, explain WHY the lead would not just be Lee Soo Hyuk?! He can act circles around Kim Young Kwang? What the heck?! Why is he never the lead?! Why Kdramaland?! Darn you! On a side note, how awesome would Yoon Si Yoon have been in this role - OMG! I didn't even know it was offered to him. Too bad! I guess it would have maybe been too similar to his role in Flower Boy Next Door and he wants to branch out more.
I am waiting for Lee Soo Hyuk to be the male lead in a drama. He has done excellent work even when the writing has been lackluster.
Poor Soo Ae...... watching KYK on screen kills me
Now I don't want to have any presumption based off the so-so cast before a drama is produced and aired. Look at the hype and then the abysmal flop of intensively marketed UF and now SH. These two dramas seemed to overstate the "star power" of their main casts. On the other hand, nobody gave a dang to Cinderella and 4 Knights before it's aired. But look at how this underdog has been doing decently on the domestic cable TV and has become so popular on several online streaming sites to the point it even topped the viewership among all the Asian dramas uploaded at some points. More ironically, the once heavily hammered and dissed 2nd lead for his bad acting in the prior project, Ahn Jae Hyun, steals the show and hijacks the OTP ship from Jung II-Woo. LOL
So unless I dislike the main actor/actress very much, I'll give any drama a chance.
how did they go from yoo seung ho to yoon shi yoon to ultimately kim young kwang?
Exactly what I was thinking?! Not fond of both lead actors... Man.... I am sooooooo disappointed. The story sounded interesting, but I may have to pass on this one I f there isn't at least one male lead I like.
It is a very sad day, that Kim Young Kwang once against cast as a lead. Even worst this time, since I like the leading lady, Soo Ae. It should have been Lee Soo-Hyuk in the lead instead.
