| Full House!!!!!
|
I've just finished my favourite EVER Korean series... Full House starring Bi (Rain), Song Hye Kyo and Kim Sung Soo...!!!!This series is about a girl who has lived in the house built by her father (Full House) since she was born, Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye Kyo) and a famous actor, Lee Young-Jae (Bi). One day, Ji_Eun went on a trip to China and met Young-Jae on the plane. A series of incident between them on the plane (including her vomiting on him) caused Young-Jae to despise Ji-Eun. By chance they also stayed at the same hotel. When Ji-Eun tries to check-in to the hotel with her limited English skills, she met Yoo Min-Hyuk, Young-Jae’s long time friend. After sometime in China, Ji-Eun found that she had no money left and she couldn’t find anyone she knew, so she decided to seek the help of Young-Jae. However, Young-Jae wanted nothing to do with her. But after he found out that Ji-Eun knew Min-Hyuk, he decided to help. After she got back from China, Ji-Eun found out that her two ‘best-friends’ had sold her house and ran off with the money and also applied for a credit card under her name, so technically she was broke. The worst part was that the house was bought by Young-Jae!!!!!! Problems start to arise when Ji-Eun refused to leave because she believes that the house was still rightfully hers. But Young-Jae kicked her out of the house. Being the a determined person, Ji-Eun sleeps outside the house and fell in. Young-Jae find hers lying in front of the house the next day, took her in and looked after her till she got better. They later made a deal that she was to work was his housekeeper to pay off the debts she owed him and in return she got to live in the house. In Young-Jae’s prespective, he found out that ‘the love of his life’ which he had a crush on since 9 years-old, Kang Hye-Won, was about to leave for New York to study. So he decided to propose to her. However, Hye-Won only liked him as a friend, instead she likes Min-Hyuk. On the night of the proposal, Young-Jae got everything set but Hye-Won got a call from Min-Hyuk in the middle of the meal and decided to leave. Young-Jae became heartbroken. The next day or so, Young-Jae attended a party and Ji-Eun followed along. At the party, things got heated up when Min-Hyuk told Hye-Won that he didn’t like her that way and that she didn’t really love him, she only wanted to posses him. Instead he told her that Young-Jae likes her a lot. Hye-Won got the wrong idea and confronted Young-Jae. In the heat of rage, Young-Jae pretended to confess his love for Ji-Eun and kissed her. This news made headlines. Young-Jae and Ji-Eun then made a pack to have a contract marriage for 6 months whereby after that they will divorce and she will get a share of money and the Full House back. The next day, the announced their engagement. When Young-Jae’s family found out, they called Ji-Eun over. It seems that Young-Jae does not contact his family very often after he dropped out of medical school and left home to pursue his acting career which caused him to have a row with his father. After their marriage, Ji-Eun and Young-Jae went to Thailand for their honeymoon. There, they had a few light moments together showing the softer side of Young-Jea. When they got back, Young-Jae teaches Ji-Eun how to ride the bike, one of the highlights of their relationship. However, Ji-Eun was still treated like a maid by Young-Jae. He enjoyed teasing her, calling her names and forcing her to do all the house cleaning. In the mean time, Young-Jae continued to meet up with Hye-Won, whom he always has his mind on. After awhile Ji-Eun managed to track down the two friends who stole her money and every time she ran away because of Young-Jae’s bad treatment, she would go to their place. Her two friends however only had money on their minds and after they found out that Ji-Eun’s marriage to young-Jae was by contract, they threatened to reveal it to the press. Luckily, Ji-Eun manages to counter the threat by telling them that she would report that they stole her money to the police. So instead they compromised and Young-Jae helped the guy (the two friends are husband and wife) to get a job in his management agency. Ji-Eun also managed to get a sypnosis writing job at Min-Hyuk’s company (Min-Hyuk is a big time publicity/entertainment company owner). On Ji-Eun’s birthday, Ji-Eun mentions that she wanted to visit Magicland (a famous amusement park in South Korea). Overhearing that, Young-Jae decided to surprise her there. However because Ji-Eun went out with Min-Hyuk instead, she did not go to Magicland. Instead Young-Jae was chased around by a mob of fans there. However, they managed to go to Magicland that might and snuck in to the ice-skating ring where they had another fun moment together. The first turning point of the story was when, Hye-Won fell sick and was admitted to the hospital. When Young-Jae got the news, he rushed to the hospital and frantically searched for her. When he found her, he held her hand tightly. When Ji-Eun saw this, she felt a small heartache and then she realised that she had fallen for Young-Jae. Of course she didn’t mention anything to him, but she tried her best to win him over. But it wasn’t very successful. Then Ji-Eun decided to tell him that she really likes him but he took it was a joke and she didn’t dare say anything else to convince him. Because of work, Ji-Eun and Min-Hyuk always met, talked and had meals together. But what she didn’t know was that he always made time for her was because he really liked her and one day he decided to tell her that. He asked her if she would give him a chance. Then came another turning point. Young-Jae realised that he was jealous and didn’t want Min-Hyuk and Ji-Eun to be together. He tries to convince Ji-Eun not to see him but Ji-Eun didn’t believe him. Also, Ji-Eun grew closer and closer to Young-Jae’s family and she really grew on them as well. As a last ditch of attempt to get Min-Hyuk to stay away from Ji-Eun, Young-Jae tried to convince Min-Hyuk that Ji-Eun was pregnant. However it didn’t go well and instead Min-Hyuk found out that their marriage was fake. The nest turning point was when Young-Jae wanted to make up for being so bad to Ji-Eun, he invited her out for dinner. But before he got there he got a call from Hye-Won and decided to go to her instead. That night he did not return home and only returned in the morning. Ji-Eun waited all night for him. Because Young-Jae is always so stuborn and proud, he did not want to apologise and instead broke Ji-Eun’s heart without knowing it. She runs away only to be found by Min-Hyuk in the pouring rain. Ji-Eun fell sick again and this time it was Min-Hyuk who took care of her. But being a good friend, he called Young-Jae and told her she was with him and warned him that because he was treating Ji-eun so badly, he was going to take Ji-Eun away from him for good. Young-Jae was furious with that and stormed over to Min-Hyuk’s and took Ji-Eun back to the house. From then on it was like a tug-of-war love between the four of them, Ji-Eun likes Young-Jae, Young-Jae doesn’t know who he likes, Hye-Won know likes Young-Jae and Min-Hyuk likes Ji-Eun. But when, Ji-Eun was forced to make a drastic decision, she decides to ask Young-Jae for a divorce because she did not want to be hurt anymore and he wanted what she thought Young-Jae wanted. Then Ji-Eun finds out that Young-Jae’s acting career is going down the drain because of all the ‘scandals’ of him and both girls and his manager told her to stay with him for the mean time. So she decides to ask Young-Jae to reconsider. From then, Young-Jae decided that he wanted to take care of Ji-Eun. But suddenly another turn of events made him change his mind and he decides to go back to Hye-Won (I think it’s because he knew Hye-Won was too weak and she might get hurt, so he wanted to stop that from happening and instead ‘sacrifices’ Ji-Eun). However, Ji-Eun still refused to give up on Young-Jae so he pretends to treat her like dirt so that she will lose hope of him. Ji-Eun counters his bad treatment by going on a trip to Venice with Min-Hyuk. Young-Jae gets sad but didn’t want to tell her that. Instead, the day she left he kept thinking about her so much that he called Hye-Won, Ji-Eun. Hye-Won realised then that Young-Jae was really in love with Ji-Eun and there’s no use trying to separate them. At the last minute, Ji-Eun decides not to go with Min-Hyuk after all and being the gentlemen that he is, Min-Hyuk didn’t go either and took Ji-Eun back. When Young-Jae got back, he saw Min-Hyuk putting his hand on Ji-Eun’s shoulder. He got jealous and started scolding Ji-Eun. But then everything goes wrong when another scandal about Young-Jae breaks out. This time it was that Ji-Eun married Young-Jae for money. Drastic situations calls for drastic measures. Young-Jae schedules a press conference to explain his situation. He told everyone that he was giving Ji-Eun a divorce because of a girl he loved but he did not disclose who the girl was (it was Ji-Eun). After that, Young-Jae went to the mountains to become a novice monk (no he did not cut his hair, just there to learn about peace of mind). And also, Min-Hyuk proposed to Ji-Eun but she didn’t want to except his proposal saying she hasn’t been divorce for that long. Min-Hyuk told her he will wait. Everyone wanted Young-Jae to come back down from the mountain and so they used all kinds of excuses and told him that Ji-Eun was sick. He finally budged and came back to the house. They were obviously still very much in love with each other and so Young-Jae finally summons enough courage to tell Ji-Eun that he loves her very much. And so it was like any other fairy tale. Happily ever after kind of ending. Young-Jae got back on track with his acting when he acted with Ji-Eun in the screenplay that she wrote about their relationship called “The Maid and I”. They were such a happy couple after that!!! The end!!!
Seriously... on of the best Korean series I've seem so far... it's a great romatic comedy... Not too long and draggy... Hilarious at times... plus Bi and Hye Kyo are so cute together and Sung Soo is hot!!!! Hahahaha!!!! Watch it if you get the chance... Cheers!!
