The mystery surrounding Moo-jin is bound to deepen in 'Romance in the House' Episode 4. With the previous landlord’s death still casting a shadow over Family Villa, the residents's suspicions could push Moo-jin into a corner.

Flashbacks or new revelations may offer more clues about Moo-jin’s past, suggesting that his "death" was tied to a larger, more dangerous scheme. The truth might involve criminal connections or debts, which could put everyone at the villa at risk. This could lead to a dramatic confrontation, either revealing Moo-jin’s innocence or exposing darker secrets.
