Full House

She gives as good as she gets!

This is a classic from a bygone age. A very colourful & simple tale of a very beautiful couple falling in love.
The couple in question are none other than a very young Song Hye-kyo & Rain aka Jeong Ji-hoon. They have incredible chemistry together. The fashion, hair & accessories are all fun and utilised to reflect changes in the characters personalities. I must say Rain is so beautiful and cute here. I can't believe that when he was starting out he was rejected from an audition because he didn't have double eyelid surgery!!!! WHAT!!! He's perfect just the way he is, just like a lion! Celebrate don't criticise difference! Song Hye-kyo doing comedy is a welcome sight, I only knew her from melodramas before. She's very cute & childish in this, that is up until the end when she decides to act all mature for a second and then I wonder if they really should be together! The second couple where just used as plot devices and not very interesting in themselves.
You may ask yourselves...why are they always cleaning the house??? I think it's a metaphor for their relationship and how you both always have to keep putting work into it or it will become a mess, or it could be because the house was specifically built for the series and they wanted to get their money's worth! Sadly, after being a tourist attraction for a few years it got destroyed in a tsunami in 2013.
Around episode 12 it gets all serious & teary. It's dragged out the usual 16 for no reason. People forgive very easily in this show where fraud, burglary, lying, cheating don't seem to have consequences (even the pregnancy of her so-called friend doesn't show) as we discover in the final episode which is wrapped up in a pretty bow, and I have to say their kiss in the tent was extremely disappointing, was this show made for kids? and after all that sexual build-up!!! 2 wedding proposals with no meaningful first kiss from either fella! Ah the good old Victorian Era in 2004!
And seriously they use the phrase 'Aja Aja Fighting' way too much towards the end. It's as if they ran out of dialogue and used it as a filler.
The soundtrack has just one good song and that's the Korean song, the rest are English pop hits from the 60's & 70's. I'm really glad South Koreans now make their own OST's for their Kdramas. They're a million times better!

Full house : The funniest K-Drama Ever

So, i know this is a really old k-drama and it has been 16 or 17 years ago? But, I just wanna tell all the K-drama fans nowadays that u guys should watch this drama because it is a masterpiece. No matter how old u are, no matter u are a boy or a girl, this drama will got to you. I know some people doesn't want to try it because it is too old and the cinematography is too old, but believe me, TRY IT! and u will find urself entangled in every episode just like me. There are several things that makes me fall in love with this drama. The first one, is the cast. I love both song hye kyo and rain, they both beautiful and act their best out in this drama. Their chemistry is the best, it is so funny and touching at the same time. The second one is the OST, it is so memorable and beautiful, I like it so much. And the last one is the story, maybe this is not the strongest part for most of people, but I love this kind of story so much (about forced marriage). It is not so complicated and just revolves around their relationship. Overall, I think this drama deserve more attention nowadays and I hope more people will watch it in the near future. And for addition, the reason why I give rewatch value 10 is because I have rewatched it before I write this review. The funny thing Is i just watched it for the first time in 2020 and it's not even past a year and i already rewatch it. So, that's all about full house, i hope it is useful

A good drama but they are also boring and annoying.

Hello, to all this drama has a good basic scenario but I found it too repetitive.

Han Ji Eun and Lee Yeong Jae are too much to yell at themselves even when they know they love each other, for me it was a bit boring and enervating.

Kang Hye Won and Yu Min Hyuk for me go better together, even if Kang Hye Won does everything to be with Lee Yeong Jae while debus she makes it clear for me that she loves him but that since he does not show what he feels, she prefers to be with Yu Min Hyuk.

Yu Min Hyuk will gradually fall in love with Han Ji Eun, even if he sees that for her he only has a good friend.

The friends of the female main character, for my part she is too kind to them even if at times her can be funny at other times they make you want to tell them ( their four truths and to go see go if I am ) sorry two expression use in france.

Overall I already suspected how it would end, I would have preferred more time where Han Ji Eun and Lee Yeong Jae are together as two person in love.
For my part I would have liked a break end of episode 9 and that they find themselves in the 11 and they could have faced the problems together at that time.

I wish everyone a good day and a big thank you for reading me.

I know many people will disagree with me but in my opinion thai version of full houseis muchmuch better than this.
I love rain and song hye and givingthis drama an 7.5 rating only for them..
Starting of this drama was very fun and good but after 5 6 episodes i lost interest in this drama..
Its very draggy and at some points unbearable..specially her fraud friend and her husband..i wanted to punch themm..in thai version they r not as annyoing as in kdrama..
I didn't like the ending of this drama its not as neat as thai version...
Only saving points of this drama were song hye rain and that bear song FL performed:p
Acting was very good and ost was also very nyc...

Not credible

I think I watch Kdramas only because women are pretty in it. Most of the time, the scenario doesn't make sense. I put 5 stars because Song Hye Kyo is attractive but for the remainder, the characters are supposed to be around 34 years old although they have the behavior of teenagers.

The friends of Han Ji Eun sell her house, a very big and lavish house litteraly directly on the beach. It must be worth a fortune, but they lose it all on the stock market in a few days ! That is nearly impossible. Moreover Ji-Eun does not seem to be very affected by that.

Concerning the last episode, Lee Jong Jae is an handsome and famous actor, he should be intelligent too because he has a Medical Degree or something like that. So how can he be so awkward with Han Ji Eun to ask for advices from her dumb friends in order to seduce her. It seems that it's the first woman he tries to seduce, at 34 years old...

This drama is too childish.

Full House (2004) - It is hilariously good. I watched the drama in a day because I usually don’t do marathons nowadays but it’s a light-hearted drama, so it is so good. Though it was set years before, I can see some lacking parts of the scenes, but I still think it was good. I felt frustrations in both the female and male leads, but I guess it shows that I am affected with the story. Since Rain and Hye Kyo were still young in this drama, I could see the improvement in their acting nowadays. I really like how they keep me thrilled up until the end. I like it and it is fun to watch.

Contract, Chaos, and a Kind of Clumsy Magic

Rewatching Full House felt like flipping through an old diary — messy handwriting, too many exclamation marks, a little embarrassing, and yet… full of a strange kind of magic that still makes me smile. It’s easy now to pick at the flaws — the looped misunderstandings, the cartoonish slapstick, the moments that spin their wheels instead of evolving — but back then? It had me, completely.

There’s something undeniable about Rain and Song Hye-kyo in this. Not just chemistry in the swoon-worthy sense, but in the kinetic sense — the kind that lives in eye-rolls, slammed doors, and accidental intimacy. They bicker like they’ve been annoying each other for decades, and somehow that makes the soft moments land even harder. You don’t get fireworks; you get two people slowly realizing that the home they’ve been pretending to share might actually feel more real than anything else outside it.

Rain was chaotic in a way that should’ve been exhausting but wasn’t — mostly because his version of Young-jae feels like a boy trying (and failing) to perform the man he thinks he’s supposed to be. Song Hye-kyo’s Ji-eun was sharp, warm, and occasionally so emotionally stubborn I wanted to shake her — but I believed her. I believed she’d still hold on, even when she shouldn’t, because sometimes people cling to the fantasy before they realize it’s real.

Sure, the emotional growth is a little stunted. The story loops back on itself so often, I could predict the next misunderstanding by the background music alone. And some scenes aged like milk. But weirdly? I didn’t mind as much as I thought I would. Because under the melodrama and pacing hiccups, there’s a real pulse — a story about two lonely people trying to figure out how to live inside a space neither of them asked for… and accidentally building a life together anyway.

It’s flawed. It’s repetitive. And still, it got to me. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s sincere. Because even now, with all its messiness, Full House still knows how to make a fake marriage feel like a real memory.

Ugh

I am 8 episodes in and to be honest, I could’ve finished the shows time ago if the characters weren’t so frustrating.

I started watching the show because it had a promising premise: a forced cohabitation, fake dating and enemies to lovers. However, any potential that the show has is ruined by the fact that the hatred between these two is way too much. Almost every single episode is the same. They argue and yell over the smallest of things and then pretend they don’t care about each other but stay up until the night wondering where the other went which I hate in all shows tbh. I prefer when characters are straightforward with their feelings from the beginning which is obviously way too much to ask for but still.
Characters
One of my biggest issues resides within the ML. He is so unnecessarily rude for absolutely no reason. I try to like him but he doesn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities other than his face. He berates and belittles the FL at every opportunity he gets and when you think it is small teasing , he just continues. I honestly don’t understand the feelings the Fl s getting of him when he is always mean to her.
Another character I hate is the ML’s best friend (crush). She is the most entitled person I have seen. I believe she is aware of the ML’s feelings for her and uses it to her benefit. She is always calling and expecting him to be at her beck and call all the time. There is a specific scene in episode 8 where the ML says he can’t see her because he is busy and instead of accepting that she just tells him to meet her because she is waiting. And the most infuriating part is that the Ml listens every time and accepts it every time (does he not have self respect).
FL- to be honest I don’t hate or like her, I am almost indifferent towards her. I like her optimism and how she stands her ground to the ML. However, I don’t understand how she forgave her friends so easily after what they did.
The only character I like is the ML’s friend/ the guy working with FL. I like his transparency with the FL and in general. Also he seems to me to be a better fit in terms of romantic interest for the FL.

I might still continue the show due to hype around it and maybe it gets better from here because I do still have the other Hal to go.
