Full House풀하우스



I finally finished this drama! It's actually only my second k-drama...Coffee Prince was my first. I searched a whole lot for it, actually. I watched episode 1 on DailyMotion, then found the rest of the episodes were in another language. Like French, or something. So I switched to IMEEM, but it was so slow, I could have fell asleep. I really like IMEEM, but they seriously need to improve their media players. I finally found the complete series on Google Videos. And it loads fast. ;D

Ok, about the actual drama. It was really good! Sweet in its own way, while romantic in others. Still, I think the part about her friends selling her house was highly impossible.

CHARACTER CHECK:

  • Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye-Gyo)~ I have to say, she acted SO good! Ji-Eun is this kinda naive and charismatic person. Song Hye-Gyo was really fit for this role. Plus, her chemistry with Lee Young-Jae(Bi Rain) was amazing. After this, I will always see her and think, hey, isn't that Han Ji-Eun. The biggest success of an actress/actor is to really pull the audience inside the drama. And I'm glad to say, Full House did it very well.
  • Lee Young-Jae (Bi Rain)~ Rain also fitted this role very well. A successful actor, he enters a contract marriage with Ji-Eun. He can be angry, happy, jealous, disappointed, and many other feelings at the same time. Plus, he is so kawaii! ^_^
  • Kang Hye-Won (Han Eun-Jung)~ Oh...well, Hye-Won is the girl antagonist. You wouldn't expect anyone to like her. Plus, her clothes are weird. You start to like her in the end, but it's still kinda too late to notice if her acting is good or not. At the start, you're just too focused with," Hye-Won is evil!". It's true though...
  • Yoo Min-Hyuk (Kim Sung-Soo)~ He's pretty cool, I guess. The guy that every girl dreams of having. But at the end, he also becomes a little hateful. Should I say a little? Maybe a lot.
RECAP:
The end kinda got slow, and kinda boring, even. Still, it's definitely a good drama to watch!
The theme songs are really good, because they really fit into the story.
About Young-Jae's family, I really think that they are great. Maybe not at the start, but later on, you will see that everyone has their own special personality.
As an additional tidbit, I think the house, Full House, was gorgeous! I'd love to live there!
Wikipedia's Comment:
Full House was filmed in the Gwangyeok-si area of Incheon. Located near Incheon International Airport, the place may be reached in a ten-minute boat ride from Sammok Harbor to this quiet, seashore getaway. Unlike other filming locations in Korea, this is an actual house. Made mostly of wood, this house, which is a private-owned vacation house, cost approximately the equivalent of one million United States dollars to build. The beach front property looks out onto open waters, with elegant views that could be used on any postcard. Many fans of the miniseries make a pilgrimage to this now famous home. Nearby sightseeing locations include Jogak (sculpture) Park on Modo Island; a bridge connects these two islands.


HUGS&KISSES TO DRAMAWIKI:

Synopsis:
Han Ji-Eun (Song Hye Kyo) lives in a house called Full House, built by her father. She is an aspiring novelist. One day, two of her friends, for money reasons, trick her and sell her house - when she returns from a vacation, she discovers it has been sold to Lee Young-Jae (비/Bi (Rain)), an actor who has just shot to stardom. Though they don't get along with each other, as she is messy and he has a bad temper and an affection for cleaning, they agree to live with each other and Ji-Eun works as his maid in order to buy her house back. Out of a misunderstanding and Young-Jae's ill-fated try to make the love of his life, Kang Hye-Won (Han Eun Jung) jealous, Young-Jae marries Ji-Eun. They set up a contract for the marriage to last six months. During that time, complications ensue and Ji-Eun and Young-Jae become attracted to each other. Also, Ji-Eun starts to hold a strong bond with Young-Jae's family. However, Young-Jae's bad temper along with the romantic attentions of Yoo Min-Hyuk (Kim Sung Soo), Ji-Eun's handsome and friendly publisher, starts to create a rift between the couple. Young-Jae and Ji-Eun get a divorce and he moves away. When he returns, he realizes that Ji-Eun hasn't married yet and knows that he has fallen in love with her - and she with him. He proposes to her, this time for the right reasons, and finally, they get married the second time and live happily ever after.

A BOW TO THE CAST:
Watch Full House Ep 1.
I think it won't be too hard to find the rest, just type in Full House(ep#), and put the duration as long. Anyhow, Google Videos doesn't have Episode 15, but IMEEM does. It's slow, but only for one ep.
Watch Full House Ep 15 @ IMEEM.
NOTE: You have to sign up for IMEEM first. It's fast! And easy.

Enjoy! Aja aja! Fighting~
