Full House Summary

Full House starring Rain, Song Hye Kyo (HAN JI-EUN) and Kim Sung Soo(YU MIN-HEOK)...!!!!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 and a famous actor, LEE YOUNG-JAE LEE (Bi).

One day, HAN JI-EUN went on a trip to China and met LEE YOUNG-JAE on the plane. A series of incident between them on the plane (including her vomiting on him) caused LEE YOUNG-JAE to despise HAN JI-EUN. By chance they also stayed at the same hotel. When HAN JI-EUN tries to check-in to the hotel with her limited English skills, she met YU MIN-HEOK, LEE YOUNG-JAE’s long time friend. After sometime in China, HAN 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 LEE YOUNG-JAE LEE. However, LEE YOUNG-JAE wanted nothing to do with her. But after he found out that HAN JI-EUN knew YU MIN-HEOK, he decided to help. After she got back from China, HAN 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 LEE YOUNG-JAE LEE!!!!!!

Problems start to arise when HAN JI-EUN refused to leave because she believes that the house was still rightfully hers. But LEE YOUNG-JAE kicked her out of the house. Being the a determined person, HAN JI-EUN sleeps outside the house and fell in. LEE 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 LEE YOUNG-JAE’s prespective, he found out that ‘the love of his life’ which he had a crush on since 9 years-old, GANG HYE-WON, was about to leave for New York to study. So he decided to propose to her. However, GANG HYE-WON only liked him as a friend, instead she likes YU MIN-HEOK. On the night of the proposal, LEE YOUNG-JAE got everything set but GANG HYE-WON got a call from YU MIN-HEOK in the middle of the meal and decided to leave.

LEE YOUNG-JAE became heartbroken. The next day or so, LEE YOUNG-JAE attended a party and HAN JI-EUN followed along. At the party, things got heated up when YU MIN-HEOK told GANG 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 LEE YOUNG-JAE likes her a lot. GANG HYE-WON got the wrong idea and confronted LEE YOUNG-JAE. In the heat of rage, LEE YOUNG-JAE pretended to confess his love for HAN JI-EUN and kissed her. This news made headlines. LEE YOUNG-JAE and HAN 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, they announced their engagement. When LEE YOUNG-JAE’s family found out, they called HAN JI-EUN over. It seems that LEE 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, HAN JI-EUN and LEE YOUNG-JAE went to Thailand for their honeymoon. There, they had a few light moments together showing the softer side of LEE YOUNG-JAE. When they got back, LEE YOUNG-JAE teaches HAN JI-EUN how to ride the bike, one of the highlights of their relationship.

However, HAN JI-EUN was still treated like a maid by LEE YOUNG-JAE. He enjoyed teasing her, calling her names and forcing her to do all the house cleaning. In the mean time, LEE YOUNG-JAE continued to meet up with GANG HYE-WON, whom he always has his mind on. After a while HAN JI-EUN managed to track down the two friends who stole her money and every time she ran away because of LEE 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 HAN JI-EUN’s marriage to young-Jae was by contract, they threatened to reveal it to the press. Luckily, HAN 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 LEE YOUNG-JAE helped the guy (the two friends are husband and wife) to get a job in his management agency.

HAN JI-EUN also managed to get a sypnosis writing job at YU MIN-HEOK’s company (YU MIN-HEOK is a big time publicity/entertainment company owner). On HAN JI-EUN’s birthday, HAN JI-EUN mentions that she wanted to visit Magicland (a famous amusement park in South Korea). Overhearing that, LEE YOUNG-JAE decided to surprise her there. However because HAN JI-EUN went out with YU MIN-HEOK instead, she did not go to Magicland. Instead LEE 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, GANG HYE-WON fell sick and was admitted to the hospital. When LEE 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 HAN JI-EUN saw this, she felt a small heartache and then she realised that she had fallen for LEE YOUNG-JAE LEE. 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 HAN 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, HAN JI-EUN and YU MIN-HEOK 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. LEE YOUNG-JAE realised that he was jealous and didn’t want YU MIN-HEOK and HAN JI-EUN to be together. He tries to convince HAN JI-EUN not to see him but HAN JI-EUN didn’t believe him. Also, HAN JI-EUN grew closer and closer to LEE YOUNG-JAE’s family and she really grew on them as well. As a last ditch of attempt to get YU MIN-HEOK to stay away from HAN JI-EUN, LEE YOUNG-JAE LEE tried to convince YU MIN-HEOK that HAN JI-EUN was pregnant. However it didn’t go well and instead YU MIN-HEOK found out that their marriage was fake. The nest turning point was when LEE YOUNG-JAE wanted to make up for being so bad to HAN JI-EUN, he invited her out for dinner. But before he got there he got a call from GANG HYE-WON and decided to go to her instead. That night he did not return home and only returned in the morning. HAN JI-EUN waited all night for him. Because LEE YOUNG-JAE is always so stuborn and proud, he did not want to apologise and instead broke HAN JI-EUN’s heart without knowing it. She runs away only to be found by YU MIN-HEOK in the pouring rain.

HAN JI-EUN fell sick again and this time it was YU MIN-HEOK who took care of her. But being a good friend, he called LEE YOUNG-JAE and told her she was with him and warned him that because he was treating HAN JI-EUN so badly, he was going to take HAN JI-EUN away from him for good. LEE YOUNG-JAE was furious with that and stormed over to YU MIN-HEOK’s and took HAN JI-EUN back to the house. From then on it was like a tug-of-war love between the four of them, HAN JI-EUN likes LEE YOUNG-JAE, LEE YOUNG-JAE doesn’t know who he likes, GANG HYE-WON know likes LEE YOUNG-JAE and YU MIN-HEOK likes HAN JI-EUN. But when, HAN JI-EUN was forced to make a drastic decision, she decides to ask LEE YOUNG-JAE for a divorce because she did not want to be hurt anymore and he wanted what she thought LEE YOUNG-JAE wanted.

Then HAN JI-EUN finds out that LEE 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 LEE YOUNG-JAE to reconsider. From then, LEE YOUNG-JAE decided that he wanted to take care of HAN JI-EUN. But suddenly another turn of events made him change his mind and he decides to go back to GANG HYE-WON (I think it’s because he knew GANG HYE-WON was too weak and she might get hurt, so he wanted to stop that from happening and instead ‘sacrifices’ HAN JI-EUN).

However, HAN JI-EUN still refused to give up on LEE YOUNG-JAE so he pretends to treat her like dirt so that she will lose hope of him. HAN JI-EUN counters his bad treatment by going on a trip to Venice with YU MIN-HEOK. LEE 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 GANG HYE-WON, HAN JI-EUN. GANG HYE-WON realised then that LEE YOUNG-JAE was really in love with HAN JI-EUN and there’s no use trying to separate them. At the last minute, HAN JI-EUN decides not to go with YU MIN-HEOK after all and being the gentlemen that he is, YU MIN-HEOK didn’t go either and took HAN JI-EUN back.

When LEE YOUNG-JAE got back, he saw YU MIN-HEOK putting his hand on HAN JI-EUN’s shoulder. He got jealous and started scolding HAN JI-EUN. But then everything goes wrong when another scandal about LEE YOUNG-JAE breaks out. This time it was that HAN JI-EUN married LEE YOUNG-JAE for money. Drastic situations calls for drastic measures. LEE YOUNG-JAE schedules a press conference to explain his situation. He told everyone that he was giving HAN JI-EUN a divorce because of a girl he loved but he did not disclose who the girl was (it was HAN JI-EUN). After that, LEE 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, YU MIN-HEOK proposed to HAN JI-EUN but she didn’t want to except his proposal saying she hasn’t been divorce for that long. YU MIN-HEOK told her he will wait. Everyone wanted LEE YOUNG-JAE to come back down from the mountain and so they used all kinds of excuses and told him that HAN 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 LEE 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. LEE YOUNG-JAE got back on track with his acting when he acted with HAN JI-EUN in the screenplay that she wrote about their relationship called “The Maid and I”. They were such a happy couple after that!!!
