Full House (풀하우스) is a manhwa series written and illustrated by Won Soo-yeon. It was later adapted into the 2004 Korean television drama of the same name.
Ellie lives in "Full House," the house that her architect father built before passing away a few years ago. She loves the place, but one day people come to kick her out, claiming that the place now belongs to the famous British actor Ryder Bayer. Furious, she grabs her scripts that she has worked hard on writing, and wanders, trying to figure out why her house was taken. While walking across the street, she narrowly avoids being hit by a car, but the wheel does roll over her foot. And the owner of the car turns out to be none other than Ryder Bayer. As compensation for the accident, she asks for her house back, but he refuses, and they decide to enter a contract marriage and split the house between them. The manhwa is about their explosive marriage, and how they eventually fell in love with each other despite cataclysmic fights and dirty scandals.
Born to a Korean father and an English Mother, Elle is an aspiring screenwriter. Her late Father was an architect and built Full House before he died. The family home was the only thing left of her parents for Ellie, and to keep it she married Ryder. She is intelligent, abrasive, short, but also very kind, shy, and protective towards everyone but Ryder, who she sees as her enemy. Due to her lack of care about her appearance, she has a pimply face, for which Ryder calls her "ugly". In the Korean drama she is renamed as Han Ji-Eun, and is played by Song Hye Kyo.
A British actor living in Ellie's house who is forced to marry her. Ryder's life as a superstar was rocked by rumors, tabloid and scandal, the most recent one of him being gay and having an affair with his director. He vows not to fall in love due to a broken heart over his deceased child-hood friend and sister-in-law Jasmine. He is seen as a player, and he has a short temper and gets jealous easily. He is smooth and sweet, a heavy smoker, and aspires to be a better actor who gets more than princely roles just for his face. In the Korean drama he is renamed as Lee Young-Jae and is played by Korean Pop Singer Rain.
Ryder's manager. She is in love with Ryder, and believes that as long as she lets him play around he will return to her.

She is smart and stylish, seen by many as "gorgeous", she does not see how Ryder could fall for someone like Ellie. She often ends up playing tricks on the two of them, such as stealing Ryder's wedding ring.
