JTBC’s forthcoming romance series, Monthly Magazine Home confirms its premiere!
Through the teaser poster released on the 27th, Jung So Min and Kim Ji Seok introduce their latest characters as well as the series’ first broadcast date.
Monthly Magazine Home threads on the story of a man who likes buying houses and a woman who prefers renting a house. The series takes on the topic of “owning or renting a house”, which is a nagging concern for people living in Korea and anywhere in the world.
Planning to deliver thoughtful and consoling messages, the latest project of Jung So Min and Kim Ji Seok also relays the meaning of having a house to a person.
To be directed by Lee Chang Min, expect zesty humor and heartening moments. Director Lee helmed the two seasons of the well-loved comedy series Welcome to Waikiki and spy-comedy drama Man To Man.
In charge of writing the script is Myung Soo Hyun who is recognized for her insightful concepts usually highlighting the lives of single people. She has worked on the two installments of Drinking Solo, A Poem A Day, and Ugly Miss Young Ae.
In the main poster revealed, the lead love pairing is seen with conflicting thoughts as two people with different concepts about house ownership.

Na Young-won and Yu Ja-sung
Portraying the role of Na Young-won, an editor of a lifestyle magazine, is actress Jung So Min. She is a 10-year old office worker who struggles to make the ends meet. Her finances are not stable causing her to frequently miss her monthly lease payment. Renting a house for a decade, albeit not hers, she cleans and decorates it as if it is her own.
For Young-won, it is a place where she can be herself and pour her emotions. However, her interest in house investment is piqued when she meets the devil-like realtor who vies to buy the house she rents.
Kim Ji Seok‘s character Yu Ja-sung is against the idea that a house is only a place to sleep for a while. Believing that he can be rich through real estate ventures, he went through a disciplined and diligent life. He studied during the day, worked at a restaurant in the evening, and become a proxy driver at late night.
He is also a construction worker during weekends. Reducing his sleep, he perseveres and works to self-study. Ultimately, he becomes a well-known real estate property owner and investment expert.
Monthly Magazine Home gears up for its premiere on June 16 via JTBC.
