Full House



Full House (풀하우스) is a Korean romantic comedy drama broadcasted in 2004. I guess I'm on an 'old dramas' watching spree. haha... anyway, it stars Rain/Bi, Song Hye Kyo, Han Eun Jung, and Kim Sung Soo. The summary (taken from DramaWiki) is as follows:

Han Ji Eun is a naive writer who got swindled out of everything she owned including her house by her best friends. Stranded in China, She managed to borrow money from an actor Lee Young Jae to return to Korea. On her return, she found out that her house was bought by Lee Young Jae. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she entered in a contract marriage with Young Jae for one year. In spite of losing all, Ji Eun manages to be cheerful and takes things in strike and the business relationship between the two becomes personal as they start to rely and care for each other. Based on a popular manhwa of the same title.
So, before I watched this, I heard of it many times - and I also heard that Smiling Pasta was the Taiwanese version of it. After watching it, there's the same concept of a marriage contract between a relatively ordinary girl and a celebrity, but the rest is generally its own. I had also heard of Rain (aka Bi) from all the "Rainism" craze but I wasn't really included. After I watched it, he's adorable and some of his facial expressions are just plain cute. The female lead is very pretty as well. Anywho, the acting was pretty well done and there were a good number of cute moments, but, of course, a good number of it was the frustrating misunderstandings (or the plain refusal to stay for a little longer to understand it), but that's just a part of dramas.

I can understand how the drama won a good number of awards. :)

There's a total of 16 episode and you can watch it
