Full House 2 lands its stars in a pit

So here are some stills from Full House 2, the drama that I still can’t quite figure out. Like how it’s going to be related to/spun off from/relevant to the original Full House entity. Or why it has an airdate in Japan (May 2012) and has sold rights to China, but hasn’t yet fixed plans to air in Korea.

The stills feature Noh Min-woo (Rock Rock Rock) and Hwang Jung-eum (Can You Hear My Heart) as the two leads, who get stuck in a grave and covered in dirt, looking pathetic. The plot that leads them there: Noh Min-woo plays the big star who travels to the woods for an outdoor photo shoot, while Hwang Jung-eum tags along as his stylist. She falls into the pit while searching for the cat she holds.

Since Rain played the cocky movie star in the original and Song Hye-gyo was his live-in maid/contract bride, I’m guessing we’ll preserve some of that bickery dynamic with these two. I’ll say this for Hwang Jung-eum — she is a chameleon, looks-wise, always changing things up and transforming her image.

The original was big enough international Hallyu hit that you’d figure anticipation would be equally high at home — after all, the show did capture 40%+ ratings when it aired in 2004. Caveat: That was back when television shows as a whole got higher ratings all across the board (and numbers in the mid-teens were considered a disappointment rather than a success). Caveat to the caveat: 40% is still pretty damn high, in any context.

So I’m curious why we haven’t heard more consistent news about the show, or why the buzz isn’t higher. There are bits and pieces of information out there if you do some digging, but a production like this should be doling out the promotional goodies readily, shouldn’t it? And you’d think a station would be eager to snap up the show for its own. I’m confused, and it makes me wonder what’s wrong with the show.

Also starring are Park Ki-woong (The Musical) and Lee Seung-hyo (Queen Seon-deok). Full House 2 will air on TBS in Japan. The production heads to China later this month to film abroad.

This is just SO strange. The pictures, the fact that it has no airdate in Korea, and the fact that it doesn't really have anything to do with the original...except the name?

She does, she looks like Annie

But then again I thought her hair cut on CYHMH was horrendus, but it grew on me. I mean the woman is gorgeous. Im hoping this is pre-makeover or a one of bad hair day for the character.

Someone can tell me why cute No Min Woo looks like a vampire out of his coffin?
I'm also having a weird sensation about that pseudo sequel (DH2 lingering feelings maybe). Just hope they won't keep the title, and give us an empty shell.
I saw the BTS footage at viki, and found the man cold (i don't think he is in RL, so...). I must say i loved him in Midas (but not the drama) and in My girlfriend is a Gumiho. But please sweetie, SMILE! You know we can't resist you when you flash a smile...

Emo Hair Gumiho hunter was a poorly written character and had no depth.
As for the vampire out of coffin, he was originally casted for Vampire Idol (he always did look like a vampire)

Full House was one of the first dramas I watched when I first started watching Korean dramas, an at the time I loved it. Even if I found it repetitive and draggy, I adored it. I cant watch the whole thing through now that I am beginning to criticise dramas (so much so I stop watching them half way through if they get on my nerves). But I probably will watch this one because of sentimental value. And because I love No Min Woo. And I really like Hwang Jung Eum.

The girl looks like a reject from a casting call for the lead part in Lil' Orphan Annie. (The splash of red from the scarf doesn't help, either, or her diminutive height next to NMW.) Meanwhile, he just looks... rather baffled. Which might be in character, but then, I'd be baffled, too, if I found myself trapped in a deep pit with Orphan Annie. And a cat.

By the way do the Japanese watch their Kdramas subbed or dubbed? If subbed at least the international (ripping) community can start earlier than the korean ones haha.

You can switch the dialogue and subs on the tv here. Just like in the States you can put the tv in Spanish. So I can watch a broadcast show in the original language or Japanese, with Japanese subtitles or without.

Sorry, but I just can't suspend my disbelief in this case-- there's no way in h-e-double-l that the woman pictured above could be employed as a stylist to a Hallyu star. I don't know if HJE's hairstyle is worse here or in CYHMH-- it's dreadful in both. And in these pix, NMW looks an awful lot like a rather butch woman I know named Rose.

These pictures don't make me happy. When I first heard that Hwang Jung Eum and Noh Minwoo were casted for Full House I even thought that it would be better than the first one with these 2. But their stylist (and definetely their hairdresser) needs to fired and there must be done some emergency damage control.

Sigh.. That ahjumma hair (cringe cringe)

Yes that horrible terrible ajumma hair. omg, I'm totally turned off by that.

I wonder if this is the same stylist by Wild Romance. As much as I love LDW, I can't bring myself to watch the drama because of the female lead hair.

And now I'm back to the same fate, I love NMW but whats up with that horrible hair for the female leads?!!!!

Whoever come up with that hair style should be shot. argh

absolutely, positively could not AGREE MORE.
noh min woo looks like a he-she.. i think it's the hair color that's off setting.. makes him look sickly.

and HJE.. hopefully, it'll be a short term look for her.
make over & transformation episode better be in the beginning!

Well, his hair is dirty obviously... We should be able to hide some scissors behind our back while he's having his hair washed. If we are agile enough, he won't notice the operation...

Ah Full House, that show with gratuitous cleavage. Rain's cleavage that is. His boobs were so impressive I felt in the pale!

Full House Sequel buzz has been going for 4 years, and it's always murky. What that tells you is there's always been strong (but informal) monetary interest from foreign investors, but they can't land the star power.

Personally, I'd like to see a sequel to I'm Sorry I Love You, starring Yoo Seung Ho.

Questions I asked myself about this: Is today April 1st? Who of those two is the male lead? Are they going to cohabit in a grave? Why didn't they call it "Full Grave" then? Did they choose that hole in the earth to reduce set costs? How much does it cost to get a hole of these dimensions dug out? Is it really a drama about zombies pretending to be an actor and a make-up artist? Is the whole production team on drugs?

My sister had to beg me to give Full House second chance, When I first watched it I stop at episode 6. I didn't feel the chemistry between the leads (I think it was due to the actress because I watch her in the drama "World Within" Binnie and Song Hye-gyo had no warmth, with so many intimates scenes I just didn't feel the passion. Last year on my sister turn her basement into a movie theater heaven and we re watch Full house on a big screen and I have to say it wasn't so bad. It wasn't great or good but it wasn't bad.

I love the main actress in this spinoff, every since Giant and Can You Hear My Heart I think she one of those few actress that bring out the best with anyone she co-star. I'm differently on board for this one. I just wish that Si Won was the lead, I think they would have been good together, but then again I though he be good with the girl from Wild Romance and that was a bust!

With all of these 'appalling' hair comments, it's probably a good thing that JB didn't post a pic of Park Ki-woong's hair. His got bleached.
It just might be a good thing that DH2 is airing in Japan first.

At this point in time the only thing that's getting me interested about this drama is Park Ki Woong.

The stills here remind me of that taiwanese drama Easy Fortune, Happy Life (or something like that) though. The part where they get stuck in quick sand. I did enjoy that drama.

I do like Hwang Jung-Eum too though. It's just that I didn't like original Full House (I can't ever finish a drama with Rain in it, it's so weird).

oh I thought FH2 will only air in Japan?

I'm not surprised with NMW's looks, he's often sharing the pics via twitter..that pretty boy is quite narcissistic.. but then with his face, I can't blame him.

Never watch HJE in any show, don't really like her only by the image, so I think I'd pass this.

btw, I guess stylist here is more like wardrobe assistant?
I'm following Kpop and that the images I got from the idols' stylists... There are "real designers' who design and choose the outfits, and then give them to their "stylist"

Cant's say i not at least intrigued by this Full House 2. As for the cast, plot etc, etc i'll hold my thoughts till will get to see at least a teaser and have an air date for the show. I guess I will watch at least the first episodes just for being related to the first one, afterall Full House has been the first Korean drama I've watched.

So I'm laughing at these stills, but kind of cringing at the same time. The actors look so sad. Like they are totally regretting that they signed up for this foolishness. The only time being stuck in a grave was funny was 'Misfits' Season 2 Ep 1. I doubt that FH2 is going that route, but I would love it if they did :)

I do not know, I get the vibe it being made for money while not spending a lot of money ..if you get what i mean, With such a low promotion inside of korea and all. Or if you like they hope to sell the 'brand name' full house and sell it overseas, rather than look for any at home success, after all lot of recent K-drama have been utter flops domestically but hits outside of korea, I get the feeling they already decided it not going to do well in korea itself, so why bother.
