Why Did You Come to My House (2022)

Short and sweet, with a touch of yearning

Two things drew me to this drama: 1) It was a short four episodes. I was feeling the need for a break from the bloated, drawn-out dramas. 2) Park Hyung Sik.

Park Hyung Sik as Han Sun Woo was excellent. He's got that yearning for love thing on lock (he did this really well in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon). He didn't make it obvious immediately to us as the audience, so you could somewhat understand the FL not seeing it. The brevity of the story kept me from feeling that the FL was an idiot not to see his love. We also didn't have to sit through multiple extra storylines that are used as filler.

Though the plot line they developed for them to be living in the same space didn't work for me (how in the world was he, a photographer, supposed to help her write lyrics?), I LOVED his addition to her lyrics at the end, but I just wish the ending hadn't been so abrupt. We didn't get to enjoy them as a couple at all, really.

I liked her mother and her tarot cards. That she could see what was going on, and her reaction to it, was so cute, and just added to the cluelessness of the FL.

This show wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it was good for an evening's easy entertainment.

Encantador

Foi etremamente agradável de assistir este show, me encontrei conectada desde os primeiros minutos deste mini drama, ele consegue entregar muita coisa em pouco tempo , eu achei que não iria gostar pois Nosso Eteno Verão foi bem cansativo para mim na realidade foi uma decepção e esse drama foi ao contrario,aqui tive uma alegre surpresa, fiquei presa dentro deste drama, achei tudo tão equilibrado, tudo fluiu muito bem a história foi bem feita e sem enrolação, a fotografia era boa e a ost mais ainda.

Um drama leve, suave de processar , parecia que estava lendo um bom livro, o progresso do romance entres os protagonistas foi o melhor de assistir, adorei eles por sinal eram maduros, sensiveis gostei bastante dos dois.

Em fim eu apreciei muito assistir esse drama e com certeza eu recomendo que você assista para tirar suas própias conclusões.

Short and sweet Friends-to-Lovers Trope

Friends-to-Lovers is one of the more popular tropes and one of my favorites as well. When I first saw Park Hyung Sik after not seeing him in a while, my first impression is, 'He's so adorable!'. This feeling continues on throughout the drama. His character is sweet and caring, and you can't help but fall in love with him and root for him.

Han So Hee on the other hand is as beautiful as she can be. Her character, Eun Soo, is a lot more outgoing, to contrast the more conservative side of Park Hyung Sik's character, Sun Woo. But I can't help but think that she overacts a little.

The two have good chemistry together as friends, but I do feel it lacking a little in the unrequited love department. I think Sun Woo's shy and sweet personality conveys the unrequited love a little better. Eun Soo's struggles don't move me as much.

As other reviewers mentioned, this short drama boasts a pretty large collection of songs in its OST. They all sound pretty nice to me, but because there are so many, I did not get attached to any song. The songs all give a very similar feel and sound the same to me.

The plot is simple and nothing new. If you enjoy watching two friends slowly discovering that they have feelings for each other, this is a good and quick watch. The visuals are great and the cold winter adds an additional charm to the story.

SHORT, WARM, SWEET, REALISTIC

This very short drama tells the story of two best friends where one secretly loves the other.

STORY:
The story is very realistic where many can relate. Unrequited love to your childhood friend but you’re too scared for them to know because staying just friends is better than losing that person, this is the situation portrayed by the male lead. The pacing of the story is very well executed, It’s not fast but not slow that you get to see the dynamic of the characters very well. It started with establishing the background of the story starting with the friendship then comes the unrequited love. You can see the sides of both character and understand how they feel which I think is the goal of this drama. Then comes the realization part which gives the story two endings where they’ll end up together or not. I liked that it showed struggles in both end but it gave a very sweet, simple but clear ending.

CHARACTERS:
I love both characters. they have very realistic arc where one person can relate.

REWATCH VALUE:
I will definitely rewatch this series. I like the warmth I felt watching this.

CHE CARINO!

Volevo dare un punteggio generale di 8.5 ma l'ho innalzato a 9 per una singola scena della terza puntata: quando FL, intuendo che ML si sta per dichiarare, vira il discorso sulla loro grande amicizia e lui, capendo l'antifona, finge che la "grande notizia" che doveva darle era un'altra. Ho sentito il cuore di lui spezzarsi dietro il sorriso, e pure quello di lei, che solo in quel momento realizza cosa davvero ML rappresenta per lei...e si é spezzato anche il mio.
Per il resto la musica, che dovrebbe essere la protagonista, l'ho trovata scialba. L'escamotage dei tarocchi é assurda: quei consigli te li posso dare anche senza scomodare la magia. La seconda puntata ricorda molto il film con Drew Barrymore e Hugh Grant "Parole e musica" ma in maniera meno soddisfacente. Il filo conduttore (un'amicizia che si porta avanti dall'infanzia e si trasforma in altro) non è una novità.
4 puntate per me sono sufficienti; il mio problema é che nelle serie più lunghe sull'ottava-decima puntata comincio ad annoiarmi, tranne in rare occasioni.
Comunque carino da vedere.

Sweet, cute and short

It was good overall, not extraordinary or great, but cute and short. I watched it because Han So-hee and wasn't disappointed.

LIKES
- The acting was great between the main leads.
- Story was short and quite enjoyable. I actually liked that there were no side stories, and I'm glad that all the focus was on the main leads.
- Nice visuals, aesthetically pleasing

NEUTRAL/DISLIKES
- While I like that the story was short and straight to the point, I think more episodes (maybe 8 or 9) could have made it a little more enjoyable. Not that it needed that much, but I think a little more could be explored around the main leads (personality-wise, background, or even how their friendship developed).
- I agree that the chemistry was a bit off between the main leads. It was good at times, but sometimes it felt very bland like nothing was there.

A Beautiful Light Hearted romantic drama

A huge applous to the writer and the director for making a very light hearted romantic drama without any unwanted complications and boring love triangle. I had seen many these types of mini dramas before with some less episodes but not with a lead like them, that's something everyone is waiting just like me. That is the refreshing thing about this beautiful drama.

The plot was very simple two best friends for a long 19 years realise their true feelings for each other when they have to stay in the house for two weeks. A romantic drama with a very cliche concept yes, but it doesn't matter when you have a great cute actors in lead. They could have been easily made this into a 16 episode drama with a very dragging storyline and so glad that they didn't, it's a sweet mini drama that you can definitely invest your time gladly..also no annoying love triangle.

The chemistry is one the key factor. Felt really amazing after the end.. Try it

Short friends to lovers story

The story wasn’t anything revolutionary but this was such a comforting show to watch, I would actually recommend it to anyone looking for something soft and pretty with some cute, a dash of angst, and a bit of romance. Basically, the plot between friends to lovers, unrequited love, emotions, and those moments... all done right.

It probably would have been better off condensed into movie form, or binge the series in a mini-marathon.

Every scene was beautiful to watch and some moments were truly breathtaking. And there's a kind of comfort in predictability that makes it so much easier to settle in and take a break in that cozy atmosphere.

Park Hyung-sik steals hearts in every role! And in this drama too! He can emote a thousand words with just his face and eyes alone. Han So-hee has improved from her previous role.

The songs might not be memorable on their own, but they complemented the scenes and narrative with lyrics quite well. Short and sweet - safe, cozy, comforting, warm and no drama!

short but so cute

i was so devastated when i found out that it was just 4 episodes . i waited so long and i was so excited so i was crushed but now i think it was the right choice. it ended very well. i just wished to see more of them as a couple but still so good. especially the chemistry between sohee and hyung sik was remarkable both on and off screen. i watched all of the interviews and they are amazing.
seeing han so hee as a song writer made me feel things lol she was so good. im not even gonna mention how great hyung sik’s acting was. he is always good! he portrays the emotions so well.
i just finished rewatching it and now im pretending there was 8 episodes lol.

It's the cutest short drama out there

I gave it a 10. Why? Even though it's not the greatest drama ever written, as it has an FL who does not quite look comfortable in her skin, with the music being quite bland for a music-driven series, the show does three things that elevate it to one of the best shows I have watched: It's short timing, smooth narrative and believable chemistry between the leads. You feel for both of them and get invested in their story early on. As the show is short, the distractions are almost negligible. As the boy next door, Park Hyung Sik is warm and giving but never demanding, which is the antithesis of his Hwarang /High Society/Strong Woman Do Bong Soon persona. He is almost unrecognizable (he is such a great actor). Han So nee looks pretty. However, she is a little out of depth on her own, but her scenes with PHS are crackling with energy, and it reels you in. As the show is all about them, her deficiencies do not distract. Her last finishing act, though, is outstanding. And they make a beautiful couple (PHS is portrayed so simply in this series that you tend to forget how incredibly handsome this man is, but then there are moments when it hits you, bam!). Watch it.
