In Episode 4, Moo-jin is likely to intensify his efforts to win back Ye-yeon’s heart. Despite promising to ease off, his persistence may take new forms, and he might attempt to reconnect with her through shared memories or gestures that reflect their past together.

However, this pursuit could backfire, leading to further complications at work for both Mi-rae and Ye-yeon. As tensions rise, Ye-yeon might begin to question her own feelings, torn between her past love and the stability she desires in the present, setting the stage for a pivotal decision.

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.
