If drama has diferent plot and set of charaters - it cant be remake. This "remake" and "Full house" was somebodys understanding about "clever" PR bc they desperately wanted to have big first rateing. It was known before shooting that story is diferent, even so diferent that it doesnt clssifie under label sequel more than loosely- it was named season 2, not remake.
http://www.dramabeans.com/2008/10/plans-announced-for-a-full-house-season-2/

But there is western series under title "Full House" whats remake was big rumour in net same time when FHT2 rumours started.

Many people got disapointed bc all this fuzz about remake and alot of misleading info. It is sad that second drama gets often despised bc it isnt what people assumed it to be - remake or they forse onto it mold of other drama and are disapointed bc it doesnt fit.

Actually Full house Take 2 isnt remake of Full House.

And it isnt adaption of same story bc Full House IS adaption of manhwa with same title:http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=3089 by Woon Soo-yeon

But Full House Take 2 is written by Park Young-sook.

"Full House Take 2 is a 2012 South Korean television series that was jointly produced by Korean, Chinese and Japanese companies. It aired on Japan's TBS-cable affiliate TBS Channel 2, and South Korean cable channel SBS Plus.
The term "sequel" is used loosely, since the series only shares the same premise as Won Soo-yeon's manhwa and the original 2004 hit Full House, but has a completely different set of characters and plot."

Kinda not so successful sample for remake article bc loosely used term sequel what bases on same premise - isnt remake.

Japanese arent very into people from outside, so just to have characters be "halfs" is big deal already.

Actually...you nailed it, so there isnt room for comments :D Now you must send this idea to some entertaiment company in Japan...and wait. You never know...

Not so big spoiler...all thous are widely known even among people who havent watched named dramas and not bc of spoilers but bc it is easily predictable.

:D Sageukist on see drama kaugel, max on see fusion. Mulle need pool(fiction) ja päris ajaloolised sarjad täitsa meeldivad kuigi neid on raske vaadata - pead koguaeg netist mingit fakti või isikut taga otsima. Neil seal on lihne, nad õpivad ju oma ajalugu juba koolis. Samas annab selline ajaloo ja kultuuri teadmiste korjamine dramade vaatamisele palju juurde, saad paremini aru millest ja miks räägitakse, miks see või teine tegelane nii käitub - paljud dramas saavad sügavama tausta ning neid on suurem mõnu vaadta.
QiHM ex-boyfriend,peamiselt oli ta kohal for comical enteraiment, üldiselt jäi ta karakter tühjaks ning üheplaaniliseks. Parimad rollid tehti seal sageuki poole peal, tänapäeva pool on rohkem kerge vahepala v.a. main female lead.

jah see Nain. ma olen mõelnud piiluda aga hetkel pole aega olnud. QiHM's ei meeldi mulle mitte too ajasrändamine vaid näitlejad ning nende töö rolliga

So...Sophie's Revenge. I agree, this one is nice. Some tiny parts are owercooked but still edible. And it has character development, story logic and actors who can act. Plot is simple and light. Good variety between some serious dramas.

p.s.Before i started watch thous recommendations i just finished Petty Romance. And somehow SR and PR click well, not only bc both have some comic theme but...just watch it and you know what i mean :D

hei-hei!

Kirjutan, et soovitada sulle ühte filmi drama serialide vahele.
Seriaalid tahavad suuremat pühendumist ning palju aega ( muidugi pakuvad nad ka rohkem vastu) aga vahel see kõik nagu kammitseb ja väsitab. siis ongi paras hetk filmi vaadata :D
Petty Romance http://mydramalist.com/korean-movie/1551/petty-romance
Kerge, lõbus, hästi tehtud, head näilejad - 1 tund ning 58 min mõnusalt veedetud.

Kuidas muidu läheb? Näen, et vaatad QiHN'i, kuidas meeldib? <3

So...Contract Lover. Watched it and now i want mine 1h 34 min back, it was big waist of time. What was wrong? Mostly - script, it is so badly written that by some part it doesnt make sence. Directing is bad too. Good parts are actors, who are totally waisted in this movie and shooting locations. Without reading summary i wouldnt understand about what this movie is. And last but not least - subtitres...I cant rate how accurate thous are but i have feeling that they are made with google translate.
I try out Sophies Revenge, maybe it is better.

..he looks too old for this role, other actors look way more younger, even president looks younger...Jiro is already past playing young bishounens.
Jep, this Jaeremy isnt handsome or cute....except his smile, he has really nice smile. And actor playing Jeremy acts most natural of thous three.So if he has skills he can play itself look cute later.

Actually...its Latvian song originally. First it was performed by Aija Kukule:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4coLXEw3fw

""Marinya gave the girl life" (Latvian: "D?v?ja M?ri?a meitenei m?ži?u"; Marinya - goddess of destiny (Latvian)) is a Latvian song composed by Raimonds Pauls with lyrics by Leons Briedis. It was performed at the 1981 Mikrofona aptauja by Aija Kukule and L?ga Kreicberga.
The song gets the name "Million Roses" when it was performed by Alla Pugacheva with another lyrics by Andrei Voznesensky in 1982."

...after more than 1/4 of episodes i put it on hold...bc i got bored to death. Yes, it has some jokes but mostly silly and clishe ones. Plot is predictable and this gets boring soon.Maybe there comes time when i pick it up again...

After 1. episode:
+ suporting cast act better than in other versions
+ main female lead acts more natural
+ bands style
- main male lead: he looks too old comapred to others and isnt up to arrogant " im God" attitude standard what main role demands.
- second male lead is too plain, he blends with background and you have great dificulties with finding him on screen
- president looks better ( more like idol) than main male lead and second lead.

Esilehe artikliga seoses tuli mulle meelde ja mõtlesin, et soovitaks su 52 nädala kavasse:
1. Perhaps Love http://mydramalist.com/korean-drama/682/perhaps-love
2. Rock, Rock, Rock http://mydramalist.com/korean-drama/1596/rock-rock-rock

Mõlemad on ainult 4 ep. Kevadisel kiirel ajal sellised lühikesed dramad aitavad sul täita 52 nädala plaani ilma üli-inimlike pingutusteta. Samas on need dramad mõlemad ka head.

There is many dramas what has music in special place or are about bands/musicans. I name here two from them:

1.I have repeatedly written about "Rock, Rock, Rock". There isnt drama with better soundtrack bc it is splendid and real. (music from Boohwal, performed by No Min Woo)

2.And i also want mention "Perhaps Love" with Lee Hyori and Lee Dong Gun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBg6lnPd_Rw Check it out, it is little (4 ep) gem.

Surprisingly good movie and actors do superb work with their roles. Scrip is tried to keep light and same time still serious. All sides get their story told.
I was shocked how similar one main male lead look to some other very well known idol. Hes way to move and facial expressions.
This theme is "hush-hush" one in Korea, so plot and acting where even extreemly bold for this countrys audience. It is only welcomed that there is more and more creators in korea who dont fear to speak about themes what are been long time tabu there. And people there still belive that homosexuality is illness or spoiled choise of persons itself - something what needs cure and punishment.

They are still young, so there cant be many roles.Still Jung Yong Hwa has few solid roles, hopefully more in future.
<3

Still i hoped more, when i browsed actors profile pages they all looked like flower boys.Where is all this gone now?
Where are thous beautyful, shiny flower boys now?
Only one tinybit resembles, just tinybit, you can say he is commonly handsome sometimes.
It looks more like weedgarden now...but it is mine taste and maybe actors manage play itself look better in later episodes.

About plot...still early to say anything.
