Story:
Han Ji-Eun lives alone in a house, named Full House by her father, after her parents death. Her "Best Friends" Hee-jin and Dong-wook desperately need money to pay off all their debts and to support their unborn baby. So they make a plan and send Han Ji-Eun to China by fooling her into believing that she won a contest in the bank where Dong-Wook
works. Meanwhile Lee Young Jae, a popular actor has fallen prey to yet another scandal. He too leaves for China to shoot for a movie. Ji-Eun and Young-Jae meet each other in the plane, where neither are that impressed by one another.
Abandoned and desperate Ji-Eun makes up a story and convinces Young-jae, living in the same hotel as her,in giving her some money. After returning home she realizes that her friends had set her up so that they could take all her money and sell her house.
She later finds out that her house has been brought by Young-Jae himself. To get her house back,she agrees to marry him, so he could avoid more scandals and protect Kang Hae Won, whom he has loved ever since he was nine years old. Though Hae-Won is interested in Yoo Min-Hyuk, a successful businessman Young’s long time friend.
Neither Ji-Eun, nor Young-Jae are happy with this marriage as Ji-Eun hates Young-Jae for tormenting her and Young-Jae thinks Ji-eun is loud and dirty.
But as time goes by Ji-Eun loses her heart to Young-Jae, which makes it harder for her to stay in the contract marriage.
Young-Jae starts realizing his feelings for Ji-Eun too, when Min-Hyuk, starts showing an interest in her. Overcome by his love for Ji-Eun, Min-Hyuk threatens to steal her away from Young-Jae.

Performances:Song Hye Kyo:-Han Ji-Eun:doesn't disappoint in her role of the cheerful bubbly woman i.e. Ji-Eun.
Although Ji-Eun is not too smart, she makes for it with her courage and her nature. You will find it difficult not to fall in love with her.
Jung Ji Hoon:-Lee Young-Jae:Arrogant, stubborn and reserved are the only expressions portrayed by Young-Jae at the start ,but with the arrival of Ji-Eun, you see him smile more often and even play tricks on her.
Rain will make you sigh every time he smiles. He did a spectacular job in all the emotional as well as light-hearted scenes.
Han Eun-Jung:-Kang Hae-Won:You will hate her from the bottom of your very heart.Even the mention of her name will get your blood boiling. Which means that Eun-Jung has done a very good job.
Kim Sung Soo:-Yoo Min-Hyuk:He has a tendency of just being there in the scene, not doing much. What he is thinking is not too clear. But nevertheless, he did a good job.
Special mention:Hemoni-Grandma-Excellent job.
Dong-Wook and Hee-jin[Sorry don’t know their names]-Truly irritating characters. The actors did a good job.

Reveiw:Since it is a light-hearted comedy it doesn't drag on and is fun to watch. It’s sort of addictive, where you just cant sleep without watching the whole series at one go.
Kind of similar to Goong [Princess Hours].Though minus the royalty and comedy.
It's my kind of drama. The writer has been able to bring together sad moments and happy, funny ones in one episode.
You'll truly enjoy it.
Moments you will enjoy:-The Three bear song.[Ji-eun's, Hemoni's and Young's]
