In the US, when a movie is a turkey right out of the gate, the movie studios will either release it on a slow weekend without any media previews, hoping to recoup some of its sunk costs by luring unsuspecting audience members into the theater, or it can go the way of direct-to-DVD (formerly known as direct-to-video). Because the majority of K-dramas are live-filmed, its impossible to gauge its crappiness beforehand and what started off promising could quickly devolve into woefully terrible. Some pre-filmed dramas are actually decent, but a few stinkers have emerged in the last few years that are so bad I wonder how it even got an air date in Korea. The upcoming Full House: Take 2, the long-in-coming sequel to the Hallyu hit Full House, must be dreadful to a never before seen degree, because this drama is airing first in Japan on TBS, and doesn’t even have a network in Korea yet. Since TBS is releasing the DVD a few weeks after airing the drama, my guess is this baby is never seeing the light of day in its native country.
The stills I’ve seen have been uniformly sucktastic, mainly because the costume and hair stylings of the three leads No Min Woo, Hwang Jung Eum, and Park Ki Woong make them resemble cousins of The Muppets. With the drama set to premiere in a few weeks, TBS has released the first ever teaser trailer showing us glimpses of the story line and the characters in action. The story follows the exact same set up as the original – average girl enters into a contract marriage with a top star – but this time the whos and whys are slightly different. No Min Woo looks like a top star idol singer, and the second male lead happens to be his group mate. I honestly find nothing remotely positive about this production, and really wonder why folks even bothered to dig the original out of the dust bin in order to bastardize it and make a sequel that looks cheap and feels shoddy. Oh well, I suppose this one will be good for a laugh, though I find myself cringing every time I see the hair styles on all three leads.

I usually have differing opinion from you about fashion, BUT NOT THIS TIME!
Their HAIRRRRRR! OMGGGG. Taking Ahjumma curls VERY LITERALLY, Hwang Jung Eum! And is Noh Min Woo trying to top the ridiculousness of 2004 fashion?! At least the old Full House have the excuse that it was 2004!
That aside, Park Ki Woong looks decent...and may i add cute? Heh.
I think I might have to send my stylist to shave that curls. argh! No Min Woo-ssi why did you agree to have that hairstyle. It sucks big time!
Really really bad Muppets cousins. I'm glad that this didn't come out earlier and ruin Park Ki Woong's chances to work on Gaksital, because that boy can act! But I'm pretty sure studios wouldn't give him a chance if they saw this first.
My other observation is that they stole the dress from Lie to Me. It looked better on Yoon Eun Hye.
How can you make someone as gorgeous as No Min Woo unattractive? @@ RAMEN HAIR - serious?
The plot looks like a bad fanfic mash up of BOF, You're Beautiful and Full House.
I cringe for Park Ki Woong - everyone, please stay clear and go see this delightful actor in Gaksital instead. You won't regret!
Ramen hair... pffft
No Min-woo!!!!!! I offer my body to shield him from the papparazzi... and from the world. Gosh, what a massacre. Since I saw that trailer 2 days ago I'm traumatized. What did they smoke on that production? Everything looks awful: Story, looks...
hahaha.. agree. did they got loads of MJ there?
Full House 2 had potential to be great if the story and casting were done right, but this looks like a hot mess! I agree with you Koala, I don't think they'll be airing this in South Korea anytime soon. I also think they totally missed the mark with the styling of the hair and clothes in this drama, everyone looks like a caricature of a manga character.
I agree with you about everyone looking like caricatures of characters from a manga. And, it's not even a manga adaptation which makes it all the more bewildering.
I'm pretty sure PKW must be praying that this doesn't see the light of the day in Korea. Whatever credibility he gained as an actor in Gaksital will be nullified if this does indeed air in Korea. I hope for his sake it doesn't.
LOL actually Park Ki Woong tweeted about the show with a still from it just yesterday
Ugly HAIR for Noh Min Woo ........... Why ? He can be good-looking easily ... Ugly HAIR for Hwang Jung Eum too .... Why ? She is not great but with lady-like hair she can look decent ... of couse can never beat Song HG ...
wahhhh....me thinks she's wearing the same lacy white and black gown as gong ah jung(eun yoon hye) in lie to me.
OMG WTF is that! !!
Park Ki Woong doesn't look half as bad as the other characters in this movie but I agree he was AMAZING in Gaksital.
Also random aside, I see Hae Joo's uncle from May Queen.
What's with the fugly hair?
This is the most uglified kdrama I have seen in awhile. Seriously, the guys look like they're in some kind of gay cabaret show.
This really isnt how i wanted gumiho hunter to advance his career .... Sigh ....
