Full House VS. Full House Take 2

Hi, today I’m going to write reviews about Full House and Full House Take 2. So, let’s we start with Full House.

FULL HOUSE

Synopsis: Han Ji-eun, an aspiring script writer, lives in a house called "Full House" built by her late father. One day, her two best friends trick her into believing she has won a free vacation. While she is away, they sell her house. On the plane, she meets a famous actor named Lee Young-jae. Through comedic events, they get acquainted during her vacation and when she returns, she discovers her house has been sold to him.

Though they don't get along with each other as she is messy and he has a bad temper and likes cleanliness, they agreed to live with each other. At first, Ji-eun works as his maid in order to buy her house back, but because of Young-jae's wish to make the love of his life and Kang Hye-won jealous, they get married. They set up a contract for the marriage to last six months. During that time, complications arise and Ji-Eun and Young-Jae become attracted to each other.

This drama aired at 2004 followed by 16 episodes. I don’t have much comment about this drama actually as I was introduced to this drama by my aunt. At first, when I watch this drama of course I like it because it contains romantic comedy. I remembered that I didn’t watch from the first episode but in the middle of episodes. After I finished this drama, I bought the cd and re-watch it again. Let me introduce the main characters first.

Han Ji-eun portrayed by Song Hye Kyo

Lee Young-jae portrayed by Rain/ Jung Ji-hoon

Yoo Min-hyuk portayed by Kim Sung-soo

Kang Hye-won portayed by Han Eun-jeong

Beginning of this drama showed Ji-eun was live by herself in a house called ‘Full House’ which she inherited by her late parents. She’s a character trying to do her best in writing. (She seems like me ^^,) She’s loyal to her only best friends, Yang Hee-jin and Shin Dong-wook. But I guess she’s too naïve and got tricked by her friends to go “free trip” to China which brings her to meet Youngjae for the first time.

Youngjae is a popular Korean actor but he has stubborn and egoistical attitudes which caused Ji-eun didn’t like him very much. This story showed that Youngjae and Jieun have met several times before she finds out Youngjae buys her house. He has secret crush to his unrequited love, his childhood friend who is a fashion designer which brought them closer.

Hye-won is a character perhaps “annoying” for whom shipping Youngjae and Jieun as she makes Youngjae lefts Jieun several times just to meet Hye-won. At the beginning drama, we could see Hye-won likes Min-hyuk who is ladies’ man, smart, rich and skillful.

But after one incident which Youngjae suddenly confessed to Jieun that he loves her in front of people and decide to get married. Hye-won starts to gives him more attention and gets closer with him.

Min-hyuk seems already attracted to Jieun since for the first time they met, when she mistaken him as Japanese. They get closer when she gets helped from him about writing stories to publish. This drama full of conflicts when it showed Youngjae has fragile relationship with his father, who is doctor. He also had sister but she died when she was a child.

Youngjae and Jieun starts to getting know each other more as they live under the same roof because  marriage contract to last six months. They began to fall for each other when Youngjae faces a problem about his family while Jieun has problems involve her best friends.

This drama is really sweet, fun and romantic if you watch it. But for me, I guess this drama has too much conflicts and emotional scenes but it’s not like I don’t like this drama. I really enjoy watch this drama. If you didn’t get to watch it, don’t agitate to watch it. ^^ I’ll give this drama 4.5 out of 5.

Now, let’s go to the next drama. We Re-Make of Full House which is Full House Take 2. Leggo!

Full House Take 2

Synopsis: A hapkido teacher named Jang Man-ok. (Man-ok means "full house" in Hanja) poses as a stylist for top idol group TAKE ONE and moves into the band's luxurious house, which superstar musician Lee Tae-ik inherited from his father. A love triangle emerges as Lee Tae Ik vies against fellow band member Won Kang-hwi for Man Ok’s affection.

Okay! Let me get this straight. I want to ask, why did you don’t like this story? Why? Let me state the reasons based on my research.

1.       The hairstyle is too ugly.

2.       The character not so good looking and not so pretty.

3.       The drama is not like Full House.

4.       Okay, I don’t want to write any more reasons because there is too many of them. -__-

I know the character is not very attractive like Full House. But! We can’t judge by its appearance only, we need to watch the plot of the drama also. Then, you know if this drama good or not. Yes, for the first time I don’t find this drama appeal to me at all. One day, in sudden I clicked Full House Take 2 video on Youtube (You can watch it this drama at Youtube). When I watch 4 episodes of this drama, I realized… (O__O) I’m hooked by its character and its plots. Let me introduce the main characters~

Jang Man Ok portrayed by Hwang Jung Eum (So, do you find her attractive enough?)

Lee Tae Ik portayed by No Min Woo

Won Kang Hwi portrayed by Park Ki Woong

Jin Se Ryung portayed by Yoo Seol Ah

This drama begins with Man Ok lives with her grandfather, her only family member. She was trained to be tough woman by her grandfather. She’s a hapkido teacher (one of martial arts) who loves to design clothes and sell clothes at clothing store called “Manokine” which she kept secret from her grandfather.

Tae Ik, a character who is stubborn and stingy who had already met Man Ok when they were younger. His relationship between Kang-hwi also in bad-term because of misunderstanding in the past which Kang-hwi didn’t realize until Tae Ik mentions it. Tae Ik who has “luxurious” body which he needs to wear/ used something 100% material either he will get allergic or he will faint. Tae Ik became an idol because of the house he inherited from his parents as L.J, his company’s president took the house from him. Tae Ik who is an idol always change his stylists before 3 month.

Kang Hwi who is apposite character with Ta Ik which is cheerful and friendly makes him have more fans of Take One(Their idol group’sname) than Tae Ik because of Tae Ik’s attitude. Kang Hwi also has dark past about his family. When he was younger, he lives with his mother but because of one incident, they apart from each other. This cause Kang Hwi needs to live with his father’s family in China, in this family only his half-sister good to him which he determined to not going back in China because it’s only leaves him a scar.

Jin Se Ryung, who is a popular actress, had romantic relationship with Tae Ik until Tae Ik saw her kissed Kang-Hwi in front of his eyes while Kang Hwi didn’t realize he saw the incident. Her character is a bit similar with Tae Ik, she’s bossing people around her and kind of cute and “annoying character as well.

This drama also brings a very scandalous scene where Tae Ik and Kang-Hwi had kissing scene because of incident related to Tae Ik’s allergic. (I guess that scene too scandalous which brings almost 1 million for the 1^st episode :P)

Man Ok getting closer with Kang-Hwi after he told her he was one of her customer who ordered her limited items. Finally, he came to conclusion to ask her to become stylists for Take One. She impressed Tae Ik by making him from worst to best fashionista.

Day by day, Tae Ik and Kang-Hwi develop feelings to Man Ok as they spend time with each other, Se Ryung’s appearance brings them to complicated situations. While Kang-Hwi faces a big problem related to his life as his sights become blur and said he has thin chances for his eye sights.

Now I will end my reviews about Full House Take 2 or I can’t stop write reviews about both drama. Like I said before, I gave Full House 4.5 out 5 and for Full House Take 2 also 4.5 out of 5 as well. For me, both drama have interesting plot. I’m not lying, if I don’t like the drama I won’t review about the drama. If you have time, take this opportunity to watch both drama and reviews it yourself. Then you will know why did I say it have interesting plot. Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog. (^__^)

Bridal Mask/ Gaksital

Now, I want to share with you about my latest addiction which is Top Korean Drama in 2012. Yes, I know I'm a bit late because now we already in the early 2013. But, I still want to recommend it to you. Some of my friends don't like it because the drama about ancient drama in 1930s. Duhh, ancient drama doesn't mean it's boring.

First, let me introduce lead casts of Bridal Mask/ Gaksital.

Joo Won as Lee Kang To/ Lee Young/ Sato Hiroshi. ( He starred in severals dramas before which are King of Baking Kim Takgu/ Bread, Love and Dream, Ojakgyo Brothers and drama soon to be aired Level 7 Civil Servant)

Jin Se Yun as Oh Mok Dan/ Boon Yi/ Esther ( This is my first time to see her acting but I'm really impressed with her act)

Park Ki Woong as Kimura Shunji ( He acted in many dramas and movies such as My Tutor Friend 2, Someone Behind You, Love Marriage, Art of Fighting, Full House Take 2 and many more ^^)

Han Chae Ah as Chae Hong Joo/ Ueno Rie ( This is also first time I see her acting. Sorry^^)

This is synopsis of this drama: Gaksital is a famous manhwa set in the 1930s, during the Japanese occupation. The hero, Lee Kang-to, is known as 'Gaksital' because he wears a mask to hide his face — one of those traditional play masks, specifically the rosy-cheeked one reserved for the female role, aka the bride. He's an unassuming young man in real life, but when he dons his superhero mask, he fights injustice and rights wrongs during one of the darkest periods of Korea's history…

When I watch the first episode, Gaksital already give me a very good impression as it showed Lee Kang To, a Korean man betrayed his country and become Imperial Police for Japan due to his family condition. It's very heart-breaking to see he tortures Koreans.

While Kimura Shunji was a Japanese but he teaches Korean children. His personalities very different from Lee Kang To who very aggressive towards people while Kimura Shunji very kind to people with smile plastered on his face. They were good friends as when Kang To has problems with his family, he will go to Shunji and talks about his problems. It’s nice to see friendship between Kang To and Shunji. But their friendship didn’t last long when Kang To knew his brother was Bridal Mask whom he searching for years and when he found out that Shunji’s brother, Kimura Kenji killed his mother.

Without wasting time, Kang To dressed as Bridal Mask and killed Kimura Kenji while Kimura Shunji in sudden saw the incident. From that moment, their personalities began to change slowly as Kang To replaces his brother and become Bridal Mask while Kimura Shunji leaves his work as teacher and become Imperial Police for Japan.

As for Oh Mok Dan, she was first love for Lee Kang To known by name Boon Yi and also was Kimura Shunji’s first love known by name Esther. She’s a strong character as she never bowed to Japanese even though been totured. She and Kang To were enemies at first because Kang To captured her father who called Dam Sa Ri. She loves a guy Lee Young who she met when she was a little girl and she predicted he was Bridal Mask because Bridal Mask saved her several times.

Ueno Rie, also one of strong character as she can make all men obeyed her. Her character and Shunji’s character looked similar but how they portrayed are different. Ueno Rie who loved Kang To because he has saved her in the past showed she grateful to him and she feel owed to him. Unfortunately Kang To didn’t remember her until she told him herself.

As Shunji’s character slowly changed into different character, he tied with his love to Oh Mok Dan. Because he needs to save Mok Dan, he become Imperial Police. Because of Mok Dan his grudges towards Bridal Mask increased day by day as Mok Dan takes Bridal Mask side.  Also, because of Mok Dan he and Kang To become enemies when Kang To suddenly confessed his love towards Mok Dan to his best friend.

This drama has very interesting plots and the actors and actresses done very great job! If I have to give marks over 5 stars, I’ll give 5 stars as it has great ending. If you want to know about its ending, you have to follow this drama. I’m sure you satisfied with it. Thank you for read my blog I really appreciate it very well. Do leave your opinions and write a comment ^^
