With her super strength, she was hired as a bodyguard by Ainsoft's CEO Ahn Min-hyuk (Park Hyung-sik) who witnessed an incident where she beat up the thugs at a construction site who are threatening a bus driver.

Full House
Back to a South Korean television series, watched Full House in Netflix, of a romance comedy genre.
 |
| Promotional poster |
Han Ji-eun (Song Hye-kyo) is an aspiring scriptwriter who lives in a house built by her late father and named it "Full House". Her two best friends tricked her in leaving her house by making her believe that she won a free vacation. This if for them to be able to sell her house. If I have friends like them, I'd rather not have one. LOL.
Lee Young-jae (Rain) is a famous actor whom Ji-eun met on the plane. Through comedic encounters, Ji-eun was able to go back to Korea with the "help" of Young-jae (since she lacks money nor have a return ticket). Back home, she realizes that Young-jae was the one who bought her house.
Somehow, they agree to live together with Ji-eun becoming Young-jae's maid until she is able to buy her house back. Then, they went on a contract marriage in order to make Rain's crush, Kang Hye-won, jealous. They will have a divorce after six months with Full House returned to Ji-eun. Add to the mix is Yoo Min-hyuk, a smart and rich playboy, Hye-won's one-sided love, and who took interest on Ji-eun.
Frankly, I do not understand if Ji-eun is thick-skinned or just plain stupid.
Pride & Prejudice
A respite for TV series, watched the movie Pride & Prejudice.
