Full House (Korean Drama)



When I first began watching Korean dramas mid 2012, I never thought I would be binge watching Korean dramas episode after episode. That was when I was first introduced to Full House, a 2004 drama, not the American drama. But what really caught my eye was that this would be a drama that I could understand. This drama wouldn't exactly be a love triangle, but it is just not to the extreme like other Korean dramas are. Full House made me understand that through time relationships can change and you can learn to love someone even if it is/was a forced marriage. The genre Full House is put into is a melo-romantic drama which combines a melodramatic, romantic, and comedic drama all in one. If you just so happen to glance upon this post, I hope that many of you will decide to try out Full House!

To start us off a few main characters you might need to know so that it doesn't get too confusing for us.
  • Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye-Kyo)-an optimistic and cheerful girl aspiring to become a writer
  • Lee Young-Jae (Rain)-a popular actor in Seoul and is especially good around girls
  • Kang Hye-Won (Han Eun-Jung)-a childhood friend of Young-Jae and became a fashion designer
  • Yoo Min-Hyuk (Kim Sung-Soo)-director of a large media company, close friends with Young-Jae, ladies' man
So basically how the story starts out is that Ji-Eun lives in a house called "Full House," built by her deceased father. One day, her two best friends trick her into believing she has won a free vacation. But being the naive and gullible girl she is she gladly accepted and they give her some extra money and sends her off to Shanghai. Little did she know that once she left her two friends would sell her house so that they could make a profit off her humongous house. Anyways once she gets on the plane she is seated next to one of Korea's famous actors, Lee Young-Jae. Through many challenges and other obstacles happening in Shanghai she ends up acquainted to him during her "not so fun" of a vacation.

Upon returning to her house she finally finds out that her friends betrayed her, but it was too late. She had to find the buyer of her house and the buyer of the house just so happens to be Lee Young-Jae (Plot twist. Bet ya guys didn't see that coming!) Through many different negotiations he finally lets her have her house back but with a condition she has to be his maid and so they both have to sign contracts with each other.

But because a specific event happens when they happened to be both invited to a party, Young-Jae finds Hye-Won being more close and intimate with his other friend Min-Hyuk he knew that she had liked him for a long time, but he liked her since childhood and in order to make Hye-Won jealous. Young Jae kisses Ji-Eun in front of all the paparazzi and then declares that he will marries Han-Ji Eun. They end up setting up a wedding contract for the marriage to last six months and within that time period.

Will they end up getting married for real this time or will other obstacles be in their way? Will Hye-Won find an opportunity to get back with Young-Jae? Or will Min Hyuk end up in the triangle because he'll be getting involved with Ji-Eun in her writing and he'll be publishing it? Will this end up being a love triangle or a love square?
