House of Bluebird (Hangul: 파랑새의 집; RR: Parangsaeui Jib) is a 2015 South Korean television series starring Lee Joon-hyuk, Chae Soo-bin, Lee Sang-yeob and Kyung Soo-jin. It aired on KBS2 from February 25 to August 9, 2015 on Saturdays and Sundays at 19.55 for 50 episodes.
House of Bluebird addresses the differing inter-generational attitudes of Koreans towards work; and the conflict between the desire to fulfill personal dreams and the need to make a living.
The scion of a formerly wealthy traditional land-owning family Kim Ji-wan grew up an orphan raised by his step-mother and grandmother when his father died and his family lost its fortune. To provide for his family Ji-wan swallows his pride and uses nepotism to join Nuga Global, a multi-national medical appliances company. Ji-wan is initially grateful when Jang Tae-soo, Nuga's CEO and a friend of his late father, takes him under his wing. As the lives of Ji-wan's family and that of Tae-soo cross again long hidden secrets, such as how Jiwan's father died and came to lose his fortune, begin to unravel. Desperate to protect the business and reputation he has built Tae-soo uses a secret that Ji-wan's stepmother has kept from Ji-wan and his grandmother.
Originally the drama aired with English subtitles on KBS World two weeks after its initial broadcast in Korea, this was later reduced to one week.
