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 decide 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 disappearing.

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.
