Full House (2004)

I have mixed feelings on this review. At the time of watching it, it was cute and I seemed to enjoy it. I remember some parts being nonsensical but other parts I really loved. Looking back now, after it having been a while I am not too happy with this drama, but at the time it was cute in its own way. I liked Rain's character Lee Young-jae but that is almost where my appreciation stops :(

It was really kind of outdated- granted it was from 2004. Some of it was fun but you really came to hate a few of the characters (mostly her “friends”). The story was new that first round and I was interesting for a bit but as you watch more and more k dramas you realize there was very little unique about this drama and it became just a little to repetitive.

Over all this drama still gets a relatively decent score because there is something about it that made me happy while watching it.

Story---Okay again as in many of my reviews i must say that this story line/theme is perfect and unique!It's like someone's dreams came true because this story is cute and fluffy.Only in dreams (for me) this could happen in real life!That's why i love every moment of the drama!The only thing i didn't liked it's love triangle?I hate it in every k-drama so it's okay.The story development was also good and i loved how it ended.I think nothing was missing there.There was comedy,comedy ,romance and...sweet moments?Lol for me it was just sweet and cute.

Acting----Okay their chemistry was good but not very good...I know Rain tried very hard in acting but i felt a little coldness towards main girl?Maybe it's part of his role idk but at first it was very light chemistry but after while almost at the end episodes i fell in love with his super duper cute character!He was like small baby u want to cuddle with a pinch his cheeks!^_^

Music---Okay i also love the music.The main theme that Rain sang is in my phone and i listen to it often even if it's been 5 years since i watched it!

Rewatch value----Hmmm hard one..Of course u should rewatch it but person should be in right mood!^_^ I rewatched it only 2 times but still it's amazing when your craving for it!

Over the course of this drama, I asked myself many questions, many of them beginning with "Why". But the question I asked myself the most was: "Why do the jerks always get the girl?".
Since I dislike ranting, I'll spare you guys a paragraph or two of my anger with the heroine, but COME ON.
You have an amazing, kind, mature guy who's loved you from the start and you choose the biggest manchild to ever walk the earth?
There are no words to describe the number of times I've wanted to bang my head against the wall while watching this. I feel like I've been wronged. Rain's character made me thank god I don't know anyone like that. He drove me up a wall with his constant denial of his feelings, his inability to express them and his selfishness. That made him a nice foil for Ji-Eun, who figured out what her feelings were, told Young-Jae when she figured out and protected him from the press even though she was getting hurt in the process.
Meanwhile, Min-Hyuk was nice and understading of Ji-Eun, and gave her a chance to fulfill her dream of being a writer even when he didn't know her that well. His character was the most layered one in the show, and yet who did the main lead choose?
I just lost faith in my gender.
(I highly doubt this comes as a spoiler, seeing as we're told from the start- in the synopsis itself- who the second-lead and the main lead are, but if some of you think it is, feel free to report this review)
As for Hye-won, I started out disliking her, but even when she started trying to break up the main couple, I understood her and even possessed some degree of respect for her. True, she wasn't a perfect character, but haven't any of us done the same thing(s) as her? True, she was selfish, but what is it about Young-jae's selfishness that makes us root for him, and Hye-won's selfishness that makes us want to shoot her in the face? It's the same thing- taking people for granted, liking people when they don't like you back, ignoring those who really do like you- it's just that Hye-won realized what she was doing and tried- in her own way- to make things right.
As for the story, the plot sort of went in circles around an ending that I saw coming from miles away. Let's face it, when the plot is basically confined to one story arc, then all you have left is the resolution of that arc. There were barely any side plots to hold my attention, and by episode ten I just started skipping through the rest.
All in all, this drama was likeable, but a little slow. Cute enough to hold my attention, but full of weird "angsty" closeups of the actors' faces as they showed "emotions". That is my biggest pet peeve with cinematography. There are other ways to show characters' emotions other than having them throw things around and taking closeups of them as they overact. *Massages temples*.
That's pretty much all I want to say at this point. I hope you guys enjoy it more than I did.

This is the first drama I ever watched and that's why it will always have special place in my heart. I loved it, I was totally swooned. But when putting feelings aside this drama is actually pretty bad. Seriously.

Some 4 first episodes are a bit boring for me, and all the characters are super annoying, especially the main girl. Half of the time it's hard to say what is even going on. And then towards the end it gets pretty draggy, everyone is crying.

My first thoughts: how could her friends do that to her?! Why are they are brushing their teeth all the time? Hasn't anyone noticed that the girl hasn't changed her clothes for 6 days? Why are these people always yelling at each other?

Once the show gets really started it's pretty cute and entertaining, I had a lot of "awww" moments. And well, I guess this show is worth watching just for Rain/Bi, he is super cute. Even though his character wears super weird clothes.

But personally, I think Full House is sort of outdated now, everything about it feels old and ancient. I think it should be buried in drama history and left there. It's a cute show though, and a good first ever drama.

I'll start backwards here. The end was good, sweet, I liked the last 5 minutes of it. Happy, happy, cute, cute. However, the story seemed to lack something important. It seemed to be hard to follow in that I wasn't sure what the actors were trying to say or convey. Oh and Ji Eun's "friends" I wanted to pull my hair out I hated them so much. Am I being a bit to harsh? It was also so back and forth I could hardly stand it, I wanted to scream. I hate feeling like that at all. I know sometimes it might be unavoidable in a drama but if I watch 16 episodes of something and I feel that way through nearly all of them or some part of every episode I don't care how great it ends in that last 5 freakin minutes it was hardly worth watching. I totally skipped half epsisode 15 because I couldn't take it. Ah but the lead guy young jae was too cute with his little boy faces though I'd probably want to kill him in real life, he was totally cute though I wanted to beat him most of the series.

Well, I must say that I'm kind of scared to watch dramas that are really famous.. Just 'cause sometimes I get really disappointed at it. But with this was the opposite. The story is the same you find in so many dramas: a contract marriage, but what makes this drama so remarkable is the way that it flows. You can feel the chemistry between the leads since the beginning, they're so cute together that you start to wish to have one relationship just like them (or that's only me wishing it ;S).. The second leads are really good too; there are so many dramas that you start to dislike those people so much, 'cause every time they are really evil.. the best of this drama is that we don't have it!! Well, this drama was one of the best that I've ever watched. You have romance, comedy, drama and cuteness mixed very well and wonderfully executed. It's definitely a must watch drama.
