"Happy Home" is a family story of a family that starts from scrap and ends up owning one of the biggest Chinese restaurants in Chinatown Korea.

The script reading was held on the 17th at MBC Dream Center with writer Jo Eun-jeong, director Lee Dong-yoon, actors and actresses Kim Young-chul, Won Mi-kyung, Kim So-yeon, Lee Pil-mo, Kim Ji-ho, Yoon Da-hoon, Ji Soo-won and others.

Director Lee Dong-yoon started off with a self-introduction and writer Jo Eun-jeong said, "I hope we become "Happy Home" ourselves and make a good drama". CP Yoon Jae-moon said, "I hope "Happy Home" has a good start and for 8 months, hopefully everyone gets along and go through this without accidents".

Kim Young-chul got up next and he said, "I hope we become one happy family until the end. I am the oldest here but I don't want anyone being uncomfortable of me". Won Mi-kyung said a few words shyly as this is the first time in 14 years she's made a camera appearance.

Director Lee Dong-yoon expressed his gratitude to all the cast, staff and crew members for joining him on this adventure.

The actors and actresses had been practicing since before the script reading and as soon as session started, they all became engaged into their characters. Kim Young-chul transformed into Bong Sam-bong with his deep voice and gestures. Won Mi-kyung made the 14 years of absence look like nothing the way she became his wife and icon of sacrifice Sook-nyo.

Kim So-yeon understood her character of Bong Hae-ryeong well and Lee Pil-mo, her husband and perfectionist Yoo Hyeon-ki. Kim Ji-ho and Jang In-sub are a childish couple with the wife being older than the husband. Yoon Da-hoon released his adlibs like no other to add fun to the drama.

After the reading, Jo Eun-jeong said, "Everyone is the best" and gave everyone a thumbs-up.

"Happy Home" is going to be broadcast on the 27th of February.
