My Husband Got a Family (Korean: 넝쿨째 굴러온 당신; RR: Neongkuljjae Gulleoon Danshin; lit. You Who Rolled in Unexpectedly, also known as Unexpected You) is a 2012 South Korean television series starring Kim Nam-joo, Yoo Jun-sang, and Yoon Yeo-jeong. It aired on KBS2 from February 25 to September 9, 2012 on Saturdays and Sundays at 19:55 for 58 episodes.
The weekend family drama centers on a working woman named Cha Yoon-hee (played by Kim Nam-joo) as her husband, who was put up for international adoption, reunites with his biological parents. Yoon-hee faces the unexpected burden of having to build a relationship with her new-found in-laws.[1]
During its more than five-month run, it topped the weekly ratings chart for 25 consecutive weeks and reached a ratings peak of 45.8 percent (TNmS) and 52.3 percent (AGB Nielsen).[2][3][4][5][6][7] The series ranked number one overall on the 2012 yearly TV ratings chart.[8]
Plot
Cha Yoon-hee (Kim Nam-joo) is a successful TV drama producer/director who marries an orphaned doctor (Yoo Jun-sang) and thereby acquires the supposed, ultimate career woman’s dream ― accomplished husband minus the in-laws. Her marital bliss is shattered when her husband finds his birth parents and they happen to be her next-door neighbors with whom she bickers on a daily basis, and feature not one, but three sisters-in-law, and the usual array of aunts and grandmothers-in-law. Yoon-hee realizes she has married more than she has bargained for. Once again, the stage is set for a butting of the heads between daughter and mother-in-law (Yoon Yeo-jeong).[9][10][11]
