5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Love in Full House, October 4, 2005

This review is from: FULL HOUSE KOREAN DRAMA 8 DVDs with English Subtitles (DVD)

I haven't been so addicted to a Korean drama since "Full House". This drama was one of the most popular TV miniseries released in summer of 2004, based on a popular comic book series.

This fun-romantic miniseries shows us the difficulties that occur while living together, as well as the funny side of life. The lead actress in Full House, Song Hye-kyo, is coming off great success with her credits including "Autumn in My Heart", "Hotelier" and "All In". The lead actor, Rain is one of Korea's hottest singers.

After coming back from a trip to China that her friends paid for, Han Ji Eun (Song Hye-kyo) finds out that they did so only to sell her house while she was away. She returns and finds that the new owner of the house is none other than famous actor Lee Young Jae (Rain), whom she happened to meet on her trip. Circumstances bring Young Jae and Ji Eun into a marriage by contract, making them appear as a couple to the public. They will be married for six months while Ji Eun does all the housework.

From the onset, Full House has been praised for its fresh and saucy take on the love lives of four young people. Although not in love with each other when they marry, a love between Han Ji-eun and Lee Young-jae develops slowly over time. The feelings of love are constantly interrupted by Gang Hye-won (Han Eun-jung), Young-jae's love interest for quite some time and by Yu Min-hyeok (Kim Sung-su), a man that Han ji-eun likes.

Watch for all those hilarious and sweet moments the two have. The most romantic scene is when they ride bicycle together during their "pretending" honeymoon. You'll just find yourself wondering why they don't just get together already, since they are legally married anyway. One more thing, most of original soundtrack of the drama are nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hwaiting!, August 3, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: FULL HOUSE KOREAN DRAMA 8 DVDs with English Subtitles (DVD)

Whether your new to Korean dramas or you are Korean, this drama was set out to capture people's hearts all around the world; something it has succeeded at.

Jeong Ji-Hoon - or Rain/Bi as he is known worldwide to fans of his music, is an amazing actor. At first thought, you wouldn't think that a singer actually does have talent to preform in a movie (or drama) and be successful at it. Well he has, and you'd better believe it. Jeong Ji-Hoon plays the character of Lee YoungJae, a rich, snobby, famous actor who has a soft spot for his only love, his childhood friend, HyoRin. He also has personal problems between him & his father. When he meets JiEun on a plane ride to China for a meeting; she sits by him and accidentally pukes all over him. Even then he doesn't how this one girl will change his life altogether.
Jeong Ji-Hoon acted amazing, and you can't help but to fall for his smile. If interested in listening to his music as well, search for "Bi" which means Rain in English. His music as well is out-of-this-world.

Song Hye Kyo - Song HyeKyo is a well known, drop dead gorgeous Korean actress. She acted her character to such extremes that you would believe it was her real personality. Her character, Han JiEun, is a girl who lost her parents and is trying to become a famous story writer. Her parents only left her a huge, and beautiful house which she loves to pieces. She's a cute and spunky girl who's always polite under any circumstance. When she is sent on an all-expense paid vacation to China, she can't believe her luck. She leaves her house in the care of her two best friends, and sets off to the board the plane. Feeling as if it was her lucky day, Lee YoungJae the famous actor sits beside her for the flight. As excited as she was, she's never been on a plane and since her nerves got the best of her ends up heaving all over Lee YoungJae.

Fate must have been playing with them because they both find themselves constantly bumping into one another, and knowing the same people. When she returns she find she has been robbed - or so she assumes. When in actuality the house has been sold by her best friends to Lee YoungJae.

One night when circumstances bring Lee YoungJae to a sticky question by HyoRin. Since the guy HyoRin loves, MinHyuk, he doesn't love HyoRin because YoungJae has feelings for her, she wanted to know the truth and confronted him with the eversofamous question: Do you love me? He thinks fast and confesses "He does love her", and grabs JiEun instead and kisses her infront of MinHyuk and HyoRin, while the media goes crazy capturing the moment, he breaks off the kiss, looks at HyoRin and says Yes, I do love JiEun.

The story line to this story is extraordinary and will constantly have you laughing or tearing up. Or maybe even yelling rude words at the screen. Whichever way you choose at the end you will all be saying "Aja Aja Hwaiting!" or sing the Three Bears song along with the infamous dance.

This cute, fun-loving, comedy drama is definately worth watching a dozen times. Everyone acts superb and it's no wonder why this is always known to be everyone's favorite.

It's great if your new to Korean dramas, along with being familiar with them.

Buy it.
Or you'll miss out on something amazingly beautiful.

A Fan,

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the bests in Asia!, May 6, 2006

oujosan "Dien" (Cavite, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FULL HOUSE KOREAN DRAMA 8 DVDs with English Subtitles (DVD)

The first time I read about it in the internet, I was eager to watch it...and yeah, when I finally watched it, this mini series stood out, making it one of my most favorite drama and so do other Filipino people. "Full House" is the highest rating Asian drama in the Philippine TV, surpassing the once reigning, "Meteor Garden".

Han Ji-eun (Song Hye-gyo) lived in Full House her whole life. But she's soon going to lose it as her property when her highschool and long-time friends, fooled her of having a free vacation in China, leaving the house under her friends' concern.

Sure enough, these needy friends of her sold the house. Meanwhile, Ji-eun is having a hard time in China, knowing that the trip was free but the comfort of staying in a hotel and having to eat and other expenses weren't free at all.

Knowing that she would die in hunger and has no money to return to Korea, she asked help from the snobby, popular actor she sat next to in the plane, Lee Young-jae (Rain/Bi).

He lent her money but is asked to pay for it. Knowing that she wouldn't possibly see Young-jae back in Korea, she agreed. What she didn't know was, Young-jae was the one who bought Full House, the property his dad designed and passed to her.

In order to claim it back, she needed to wind up a marriage contract with Young-jae that would benefit both of them.

However, Min-hyuk (Kim Sung-soo) develops an interest in Ji-eun and the woman Young-jae loved all his life, Kang Hye-won (HAn Eun-jung), who's unknowledged of his affection, seemed to be attached to him too. Will this wedding game cause much more complications?

I am Song Hye-gyo's fan and was even more inspired by her after knowing that she was versatile---meaning she could perform a dramatic either a comedic role. After watching "Full House", I became Rain's fan as well.

Their acting are very much commendable. Seeing how comfortable they act together though it's the first time they collaborated is very amusing...and to think it's a drama-comedy!

The KBS crew built such a beautiful house. It broguht the happy atmosphere throughout the drama. Some supporting characters, Han Eun-jung and Kim Sung-soo were to praised for regading their acting. They managed to get along with the lead stars' acting and did not let themselves be shadowed under Song Hye-gyo and Rain.

All in all, this drama is for everyone.
