My Husband Got a Family
My Husband Got a Family, also known by its literal title You Who Rolled In Unexpectedly, is a South Korean television drama series that aired on KBS2 from February 25 to September 9, 2012. The series consists of 58 episodes and was broadcast during the network's Saturday and Sunday 19:55 time slot.
Plot Overview
The story centers on Cha Yoon-Hee (Kim Nam-Joo), a successful television drama director who seeks a marriage free from the traditional burdens of in-laws. She marries Terry Kang (Yu Jun-Sang), a surgeon who was adopted by a Korean couple in the United States as a child and has no recollection of his biological family. Yoon-Hee believes she has found the ideal partner to avoid familial complications.
The narrative shifts when Yoon-Hee is forced to move due to a lease issue and inadvertently rents a home owned by the family of her husband's biological parents. The plot explores the tension between Yoon-Hee's desire for independence and the reality of integrating into a large, traditional family, particularly as the mother, Chung-Ae (Youn Yuh-Jung), continues to search for the son she lost decades earlier.
