Home Sweetie Home is a Philippine television situational comedy series broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by Edgar Mortiz, it stars Toni Gonzaga and John Lloyd Cruz.[2][3][4][5] It aired on the network's Yes Weekend! line up from January 5, 2014 to March 14, 2020, replacing Toda Max and was replaced by Paano Kita Mapasasalamatan?. The sketch comedy tackled the lives of a newly married couple and their ways to address the needs of a typical Filipino household.

After the departure of John Lloyd Cruz and Ellen Adarna, the show was later renamed Home Sweetie Home: Walang Kapares In 2018. Piolo Pascual, Ogie Alcasid and Rufa Mae Quinto were added during Cruz's absence.

A fully renovated season called Home Sweetie Home: Extra Sweet premiered on May 11, 2019. Star Creatives took over the production of the show. Several new cast members include Vhong Navarro, Luis Manzano, Alex Gonzaga, Bayani Agbayani, Rio Locsin, Edgar Mortiz and Pinoy Big Brother: Otso housemates Fumiya Sankai and Yamyam Gucong.[6][7]

It was abruptly cancelled on March 14, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, and was replaced with Wansapanataym reruns until the indefinite temporary closure of ABS-CBN because of the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995.

Home Sweetie Home returned in October 2020 through Brightlight Productions and aired on TV5, retitled as Oh My Dad! and featured a different cast and crew.[8]

Plot

[edit]
Title card (2014)

Home Sweetie Home follows the story of Romeo Valentino (John Lloyd Cruz) and Julie Matahimik (Toni Gonzaga) who lived together under one roof. Julie's mother Loi (Sandy Andolong) disapproves Romeo as her son-in-law because of his reputation as a womanizer, and prefers Jay-Jay (Jayson Gainza) whom she considers fit for her daughter, seeing him as responsible. Still, Romeo and Julie decided to marry each other. However, in turn, Romeo has to deal with Julie's family in the best way he knows how.[9] The first season ends with Romeo suddenly disappeared.

In "Walang Kapares", Julie struggles to live without Romeo, who disappeared while working abroad overseas along with his workmate Tanya (Ellen Adarna). Romeo's cousin JP (Piolo Pascual) enters the lives of Julie's family and starts to develop romantic feelings for Julie. Later on, Julie receives a letter from Romeo about their annulment. Heartbroken, she is coping with her separation from Romeo with the help from her family and friends. The story ends with Romeo and Julie's house burned in the fire accidentally triggered by Obet (Jobert Austria).

In "Extra Sweet", Julie moves on with her life and her family moves to a new home with help from her aunt, Loi's sister Oya (Rio Locsin). There, Julie will meet her half-sister Mikee (Alex Gonzaga) and her new neighbors.
