Ji Jin Hee, Kim Jee Soo, Son Na Eun, Choi Min Ho, Yoon San Ha's "Melo House" Confirms Premiere Date

Ji Jin Hee, Kim Jee Soo, Son Na Eun, Choi Min Ho, and Yoon San Ha's K-drama, Melo House, is confirmed to premiere on August 10, after the conclusion of Miss Night and Day. 

JTBC's Melo House is a bloody family melodrama where the father, who was abandoned 11 years ago by his family, returns as the owner of their building. The show approaches the family dynamic differently, depicting relationships that are as sincere and poignant.  

Ji Jin Hee plays Byun Moo Jin, who returns as the owner of the building where his family lives after being cut off by them following his business failure. He returns after 11 years to win back his beloved ex-wife Geum Ae Yeon (Kim Jee Soo). With Gatsby-level wealth, Moo Jin shows up wherever Ae Yeon is and showers her with praise.

Kim Jee Soo plays Geum Ae Yeon, a superwoman who, after divorcing Ji Jin Hee, has gone through countless hardships, and raised her children while living in a small room of a gukbap restaurant. She was able to endure those times thanks to her daughter, Byun Mi Rae (Son Na Eun), who had to mature early. When her daughter said, "I'll grow up fast and become your Wonder Woman," it made Geum Ae Yeon feel deeply sorry and gave her strength. Now working as a food sampler at a supermarket, Ae Yeon supports her family both inside and out. Just as her life stabilizes, her ex-husband Ji Jin Hee reappears.  

Son Na Eun plays Byun Mi Rae. When her family lost their store and home, due to her father's business failure, she resolved to do anything to restore her family's normalcy. Always cherishing her mother, her Wonder Woman, she decided it was her turn to become her mother's Wonder Woman. She now works as a food team MD at a supermarket to support her family. When her father returns after 11 years, Son Na Eun plans to vividly remind Moo Jin how foolish and unrealistic his dream of family reunion is.

Choi Min Ho plays Nam Tae Pyung, a former national team taekwondo instructor and a security guard at a supermarket. Actually, he hides his identity as the son of J Plus Mart's president, considers the chaebol status to be his father's standing and manages his own affairs well. However, his secret identity is discovered by Son Na Eun.

Yoon San Ha plays Byun Hyun Jae, the only one who welcomes the return of Byun Moo Jin. At 23, Hyun Jae is the troublemaker of the family. Unlike his sister, who is cold towards Moo Jin, Hyun Jae is all for their parents' reunion.

The production team said, "Melo House explores the complex relationships between family [members] who sometimes love, sometimes resent, and sometimes feel sorry and pitiful [towards each other]. And at times, when they get sick of it all, they just want to live for themselves. It gives a look at family, a relationship that always puts one to the test. We will bring you a drama meant to be enjoyed and empathized with alongside family members on weekend nights."

Melo House will premiere on August 10. More news about the K-drama's global OTT service is yet to come.
