The Strange Housekeeper (이상한 가정부)
Network: SBS | Episodes: 19 | Genre: Healing Rom-Com, Melodrama
Starring: Jun Sung Ho
Synopsis:
Cold, calculating, and chronically stressed, CEO Cha Min-hyuk demands absolute perfection in his life and his massive estate. But when he hires a highly recommended new housekeeper to maintain his order, he gets Ahn Mi-ra (Jun Sung Ho)-a quirky woman who takes every single word exactly as it is spoken.
Tell her to "dress the chicken" for a VIP dinner? She will knit the raw poultry a tiny sweater. Tell her to "put out the lights"? She will physically unscrew the bulbs and place them on the front porch. Always clad in a highly unusual, vintage pastel blue uniform that she refuses to take off, Mi-ra is walking chaos in Min-hyuk's perfectly curated world.
Min-hyuk is ready to fire her, until he realizes she isn't mocking him. Behind her literal mind and eccentric outfits lies a deep, hidden trauma that made her terrified of the world's hidden meanings. As Min-hyuk navigates her hilarious, disastrous misunderstandings, he accidentally discovers that her unfiltered honesty, incredible baking, and absolute sincerity are exactly what his cold, empty heart needs to heal.
In a corporate world built on lies and metaphors, can a cynical CEO learn to love a woman who only understands the literal truth?
