Foreword
Song Jae Kyung is the youngest of four siblings. She is stubborn, very expressive, often times childish, and is known as the "black sheep" of the Song family. She strongly yearns to escape her family and live on her own, but her over-protective and old-fashioned parents don't believe in a young woman living by herself. Her only escape is through marriage.
Yong Jun Hyung is the youngest son of the CEO of the largest mall in South Korea. He is on the verge of being disowned from his family for his bad habits of clubbing, girls, alcohol, and general disappointment to the Yong name. The only way to salvage the relationship with his family, is to settle down and marry.
Jun Hyung and Jae Kyung unexpectedly meet one day and decide to use one another to get what each wants: Jae Kyung's freedom, away from her parents and perfect siblings, and Jun Hyung's preservation of his familial ties. They write out a contract on their marriage and living conditions, but will they stay true to every clause as Jae Kyung learns to grow up and Jun Hyung learns the meaning of family?

Author's Note
This story is based very loosely on the hit 2004 Korean drama, Full House, about a contractual marriage between aspiring writer Han Ji Eun (Song Hye Kyo) and actor Lee Young Jae (Bi/Rain). The title is a play on the movie title, Another Cinderella Story, and the drama's title and plot. Hence, Another Full House Story.
Disclaimer: I understand there are a lot of characters, particularly given the size of the Song family, and I would say that you don't have to know them to understand the story...but you kind of do. I tried to give you only the information that I think is necessary, but even then it's a lot to take in. However, I did try to choose actors/actresses that are pretty well-known in the Korean entertainment world, so hopefully that helps? Anyways, if you still decide to read this story even after this message, THANK YOU!
To help you remember all the characters and their relationships to each other, here are the family trees for each family:
