I voted for life-altering, not that it altered my life in a dramatic way...but some drama, u watch and forget...but full house, it left a permanent thumbprint on the entertainment portion of my heart...
This is one of the sweetest drama I watched, ok, let me rephrase that, this is the sweetest drama I watched and it currently sits on my number 1 spot among all the videos i've seen in my life...
I know if u analyze the plot, script, etc., u'll see some repititions and flaws...but i wanna ignore all the technicalities...because if u enjoyed and loved it, that's wat really matters...there are other dramas/movies which are so beautifully done but after 20 hours of staying with its story, it betrays u, and leave u feeling so awful in the end...
but full house, it brings the it-factor every episode...and u can bet ur money on it, that it will entertain u till the end...
Also, the actors are included in the charm of this series...I cant see anybody playing Ji-eun and YoungJae except for Bi and SHK...I can just mentally picture them when they get into those mumbling-verbal wars, Laugh

You'll love them both not just one for his/her "cuteness". So when u think "Full House" it's going to be Bi and SHK, and I think that's wat chemistry-between-the-main-characters is all about. I as an audience would wish that they could be together for real Wub

I think everybody should see full house-old and young, men and women, married, single or divorcee...they'll all go "aja aja fighting" after watching it Mr. Green

I'm so in love with this drama, I wish I could put it inside my pocket so I can reach for it whenever I want to Smile

I voted life altering. I usually don't get attached to shows or movies but this drama defiantly stuck to me. I acutally lost sleep because of this drama. The characters where so well acted. It was funny, sad, suspenseful, but most importantly; memorable. The music, even when played over and over again, maintained its added dramatic effects with every scene.

This is defiantly the best drama that I’ve ever seen. It is, IMO, incomparable to any other series is any other language.

haha.. I also voted life-altering since I lost lotsa sleep and really... I can even smile when I remember some of the scenes.. Laugh

I'm so crazy about this drama that I would browse about shk or bi or FH till 6 in the morning and read its episode synopsis over and over and over again...
I even found this thai website (which I don't understand at all) that has the complete episode but displayed in a very low quality that I'd have to watch it on a very very small window (and I still can't even see bi or shk faces).. haha.. just because I'm so impatient..
(though zdoon uploaded a new ep. every day...) Tongue

This kdrama is THAT good...

Funny beginning, draggy middle, cheesy ending.

The very first impression is that those 16 episodes could be easily compressed to 10 with no loss for a viewer. The series would be even better then. It is apparent koreans can not came up with sufficient number of ideas to fill that vast running time (16 eps x 60 min). Thanks to that, shortage of acting abilities of the main actors has been revealed mercilessly. This applies to comedies, as in melodrama they always may make someone to have a cancer or else, and eye drops are cheap.

So in short it is all about nice bodies
(Han Eun-jung, i am always ready to see more of your cleavage http://english.tour2korea.com/02Culture/TVMiniseries/movie_03_view.asp?cpId=189&konum=2&kosm=m2_6),
pretty faces (although thick make-up drastically lessens the impact {yes, talking about you, Song Hye-kyo - http://english.tour2korea.com/02Culture/Movies/movie_03_view.asp?cpId=41&konum=3&kosm=m2_5,
http://hyekyo.yeonyoung.com/}) and a few recurring jokes.

The series is somewhat similar to 'Sweet 18'.

To conclude, although some koran movies fit my taste, it is still long way for series, still need to wait some more time for a good korean romantic comedy series to appear.

Kinda agree with krys on this one (thats a first) kdrama have a tendency to drag out the ending and start recycling the same old thing during the last 4 or 5 episodes. I think it would of made a much better 11 episode format like jdramas but I'm not complaining too much because at least I get to watch SHK for longer Tongue

I did like the fact that they didn't had to resort to a really evil character to play up the drama, generally nobody really resort to low down dirty tatics to get what they want although SHK "chingu" kinda annoys me but they weren't evil just stupid. Btw why didn't they make her friend appear more er pregant? Her tummy was flat all the way through and it must of been months during the show's timeframe? Lazy director Glare

Overall though the show gets a big thumleft

from me.

I'm curious, how would the show work at 10 or 11 episodes? That'd be "cliff notes" Full House at best, as far as I'm concerned. Smile

Something substantial would be taken away, the comic bits that ultimately add to the relationships or, else, something relating to the conclusions among the characters in the show. I noticed in Full House none of the episodes are merely "thrown up" together and are neccesary in some way to the plot or-- ultimately, to the special sentimentality of the plot or the final episode. The show is particularly cumulative. In addition, references are made to prior episodes and wouldn't work without them; there are parrallels that occur: Young-jae kicks out Ji-eun, Ji-eun kicks out Young-jae, etc. (there are more meaningful and subtle examples, I'm sure, but I can't think of them, right now. Tongue

). In my opinion, this show can't be reduced to 11 (or 10!) episodes without botching up some of its narrative intelligence or humor. Though I can imagine FH at 14 or 15 episodes, maybe.

But, yeah, I agree about Hee-jin. If she was pregnant then she ultimately gave birth to a 2 pound baby. Laugh

Well I just think some of the ideas were overused, they argue and fight, one leaves and comes back..and leaves and comes back...and leaves..etc The do the cleaing and make me food thing is also used soo much, its perfectly fine for the beginning and even the middle but by the end I would of expected the writers to mature the characters out of that phase since they've been living together for a while now.

It was stil good but I thought it could be a tigher story if they didn't rehash the same gag all the time.

I really liked Full House.
But yes, there were too many repetitions. The growth of the characters (especially Bi's character) kept getting thrown back to the beginning of the series. We do see his change between fights but when they are fighting nothing has changed from the start of the relationship. That's what I feel, though.

I think that the nicest korean drama that I have seen as yet is My Love Pazzi. It does have some really dislikable characters but it doesn't feel repetitive at all and it makes me feel good. I liked Attic Cat as well, but the music was used to death ( same tune over and over again ) and the guy didn't change his behaviour at all during the series. He was just as irresponsible at the beginning as at the end. Nice over all, though. I wonder what will happen to The_Nine-tailed_Fox_-_A_Supplementary_Tale. The 3 episodes I have seen makes me really want to see more. Does anyone know if it's still airing or if it might be released on DVD any time soon? Hopefully with english subtitles.

Enjoy Full Fouse.
