For a drama that looks this bad based on the promotional stills I’ve seen, normal expletives might not be enough to convey the degree of shock and awe I experience every time I lay eyes on Full House: Take 2, the sequel to the famous early Hallyu Asian hit Full House starring Rain as a top Korean star in a contract marriage with Song Hye Kyo. While I liked the original manhwa to a certain degree, the drama was one of the rare early hits that I cannot stomach in any way, shape, or form. Usually my tolerance is high for early Hallyu K-dramas, since watching it requires a suspension of disbelief and willingness to accept certain narrative limitations. But with FH, I wanted to stabbity pretty much every character in the drama and for the sake of my blood pressure I stopped watching after a few episodes.
It’s been nearly a decade since the original, and the sequel starring No Min Woo, Hwang Jung Eum, and Park Ki Woong had completed filming this past Spring and was just waiting for an air date and channel. Turns out this Korean-Japanese co-production will be airing in Japan first, on channel TBS starting in early October. I wouldn’t hold my breath that it’ll air in Korea since TBS is releasing the DVD shortly thereafter, which indicates that its probably DOA and trying to recoup costs in any way possible. I’m trying hard to find a silver lining, but I think everyone involved in this turkey might want to just feign amnesia and hope the audience also forgets soon. I’ll probably end up watching out of sheer morbid curiosity, like when I watched way more of Paradise Ranch then I should have.

Geez, too many fugly haircuts in Kdramaland these days. Poor Hwang Jung Eum!
HJE has like zero luck in the hair department...first CYHMH, then this drama and finally that bird's nest in Golden time...how I wish everyone in kdramaland had Lee Min Hot's hair stylist
this looks like a Korean version of Twilight! hahahaha, although I'm really itching to watch this and yes, I'm one of those whoe loved the first full house drama and I've been waiting for this since it was first announced that there will be a part two. hurry up!!
I wish I could say something positive but... not one thing about this drama seems digestible. I can't believe they made this. The promo still looks like a child's work. I would have felt bad for the actors but they all chose it, so..
The promotional stills so far look like a joke. Harsh, but that's the first thing that pops in my mind...hopefully the drama itself will pull through...
Yeah, FH never did make a lot of sense (seriously, those first few episodes were a headscratcher) but I still loved it for some insane reason. I was wondering if this was ever going to see the light of day because it just looks awful, but I'm strangely glad, just because I've been wondering if this will be a carbon copy of the original, insane logic and all or if it will try to be more believable.
I bet the production company's kicking themselves right now for thinking something like this was a good idea. Usually when a drama's been on the backburner this long, it's probably a trainwreck waiting to happen (Paradise Ranch and The Musical come to mind) so i'll probably watch with very low expectations.
I don't really know about the other 2, but I bet that Park Ki Woong would rather not be seen in this after his great performance as the best friend turned villain in Gaksital...
I'll believe that it's airing when episodes Actually air. Since there's a lot of "confirmed" dates for it to air. It went from March to April to May and now October. I hope it actually airs this time. Ugh Hwang Jung Eums hair is horrid!!
i can't help but cringe at their photos. Geez, what's up with their hair?.. @_@
I really don't know whose hair is worse. But the drama has absolutely no appeal whatsoever, I sincerely don't care for it based on these promotional stills. It seems like a big joke so far. Though, you never know..
I love Park Ki Woong that I endured watching/cringing The Musical until finale. But this. 0.o this has train wreck written all over it.
