Plans announced for a Full House Season 2
by javabeans
First of all: DON’T GET TOO EXCITED. (YET.)
Yes, it does sound like a Full House 2 is in the works. But as with all things this early in the process, it’s best to retain a little bit of skepticism so as not to be disappointed later.
Just a word of warning.
Production as an Asian drama: Producers say, “We will cast at least one out of either Song Hye-gyo or Rain”
The KBS drama Full House, which aired in 2004 and earned much love not only in Korea but throughout Asia, will be producing a season 2 as a pan-Asian drama with participation from Korea, China, Japan and other countries. Full House is the drama that shot Rain to fame throughout Asia as a skilled dancer and singer.
Director Park Chang-shik of Kim Jong-hak Productions told Herald Biz on the 24th, “In preparation for making Full House Season 2, writer Jo Jung-hwa has worked for two years. Currently, the scripts for the first four episodes have been completed. Since Korean, Chinese, and Japanese actors will be participating, the drama will be filmed in those countries.”
One reason I am trying to take this with a HUGE grain of salt is that getting Song Hye-gyo or Rain is going to be a huge endeavor at this point. First of all, I’m not sure either wants to revisit his/her old role from four years ago, especially when both are trying to stretch themselves creatively now. Second, I wonder why they didn’t think to get Full House‘s original PD back on board, since he’s currently working with Song on The World They Live In.
Oh, and also, what if they get one of the actors — will they play themselves? Or play new characters? And will the story have to be changed if neither actor agrees to appear in Season 2? (Confuzzlement abounds.)
Because this will be produced as an “Asian drama,” plans are to keep the atmosphere lighter than the first series, and to not come off overly extravagant. The drama will span 20 episodes and is looking for an airdate sometime around August of next year.
Director Park said, “Things are looking good. Already a Thai corporation has shown interest in investing in Season 2, and one broadcast station in Hunan, China, has said that they would produce Season 2.”
Full House was originally a soonjung manhwa [shojo manga] by Won Soo-yeon that depicted a love story about young modern people, and earned its actors Rain (playing Young-jae) and Song Hye-gyo (as Ji-eun) recognition as a very appealing couple.
Recently, Rain was asked on an episode of MBC’s Goldfish [무릎팍도사], “When did you start thinking of expanding into the Asian market?” by MC Kang Ho-dong. His answer reflected Full House‘s high Asian popularity, saying, “It wasn’t because of music, but happened to be because of a drama I’d done [Full House],” which showed the bright possibility of a pan-Asian Season 2.
Accordingly, if Full House Season 2 is made and broadcast, the actors will naturally attract much recognition in Asia, and will also have tremendous value as a Hallyu drama.
Therefore, the production company is determined to cast at least one out of the two stars, Rain and Song Hye-gyo, who enjoy high popularity throughout China as well as Southeast Asia. They plan to cast actors from China and Taiwan as well, but have set aside the initial intention of casting one of the F4 members. The director has not yet been decided, and the production is currently in the process of finding a film or drama PD who will be able to bring to life Full House‘s visual appeal.

What?!! casting at least one out of the two main actors??..
in my opinion, that wouldn't be a good decision at all.. after all, it is because of them that full house had a shot to fame. They did justice in playing their roles!
they ARE essential in the drama's success especially in this second season...
Another big hit drama in taiwan, THEY KISSED AGAIN, retained their main actors..
I hope they get song hye gyo and rain once more... these two had a really good rapport! The supporters of Full House would be really happy if they get them. These two are not just hitting Asia but as well as Hollywood..
heard, SHG would have an indie film with an Austrian actor.. so there!

funny.. I just saw these big letters saying "Plans annouced for a Full House Season 2" and I was like "WHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY LOOK AT THIS!!!!! WHAAAAA!!!!!" and then I started reading the article..... It was really embarassing when I read out, "First, Dont get too excited yet" by myself....And so... everybody made a fool of me....
but whatever! I really hope Song Hye Gyo and Rain will still be the main stars!!! I won't watch it if they're not!!!!!...... well, maybe I would... but it won't work as the season 1 did!!! Just please don't replace Young-Jae and Han Ji-Eun!!!! I really miss the couple XD

well, on the second thought....... yeah.... maybe they really need to find new characters with a different story.... But still, I won't deny... I'd love it if SHG and Rain remains but as everybody was saying.... It WOULD totally be a mess. I don't think it would be easy to continue Young Jae and Han Ji Eun's story..... because it was OVER now they're together.
Anyway, wish you good luck. I really hope you guys do a good job as you did in season 1..... Though I really think..... that you won't get over it..... however you try..... season 1 will still be the best for me :D
RoCK ON^^

and P.S.
about the other asian stars? No way. This is the only thing I'm so sure. Mixed foreigners? that's not cool. That's stupid. well, if they want it to be a "travel show" or "learning different languages lessons", then go ahead. Might be fun. But don't do that if you're trying to make a Full House season 2.

if they dont cast the two of them,
then whats the point of watching it ?
i mean, when everyone found out about
the second season way back everyone
was all excited for a reunion between BiKyo .
and if they dont get the two
to work on it and only one, well fans will
only be dissapointed and .. well i personally
think the ratings would be low . >.<
my opinions .
but still. im still hoping the two of
them will work together sometime soon

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Han Ji-Eun and Young-Jae FOREVER
Full House!!! Just AMAZING show! The first show that i've watch and finished till the last episode! This show open my heart and want to love someone like Ji-Eun (She's so PERFECT)! God, i wish!
This sucks, why would they take one of them! If they would just take one, take both of them. I hate to see someone will replace one of them! Grr. And if they take one of them, they shouldn't make it FULL HOUSE! This pissed me!

If they're going to do season 2, they should put both Bi and Song. Just one won't be as interesting and they shouldn't really make it Pan Asia, it might spoil he whole thing.

i believe that rain and SHG should both be cast instead of only one. because everybody wants to see their love story. if there is a mix in the cast of these two then the love story of full house wouldn't be the same.. also the season 2 wouldn't have anymore meaning to the drama...

I am excited to see Rain and SHG back together in Fullhouse2.
I hope they will agree to work together again.
Their on cam chemistry is what made season 1 a huge success.
Hope the story line is also a good one.
Fullhouse 2's success will depend much on it.
Not all sequels are disastrous anyway.
I saw one Taiwanese series wherein both season 1 and 2 are great success.
Hope this will be true for Fullhouse.

i hope rain and song hye kyo agree to be in full house 2. please. regarding the issue of not wanting to be in the role 4 years ago, that's the role which introduced them to being big stars, so i think it's fine to actually revive it or be in those roles again because it helped them be who they are. all the fans all over the world knew rain and shk because of full house. they have a very good chemistry and perfect pairing so please, rain and shk star in full house 2. a lot of people waited for this for so long. now its actually coming true, so i hope you consider it to make a lot of people happy. :) full house wont be the same without both of you. :)

I CAN'T WAIT!
I HOPE BOTH OF THEM ARE IN IT~~
And in my opinion, a pan-asian production sounds really cool. I think it just depends on what the plot is this time, how different it is and how they incorporate the other asian actors into the drama! I hope I'm not disappointed though, like I was for Goong S. Now that was gay.

If ever Song hye kyo won't be in the cast I know its really disappointing that only Rain will be there I also got dissapointed but hey we can't do anything about it if one of the actors doesn't like or won't be on the drama again. But I realize that one of them is going to be there if ever why not if rain will be there and song hye kyo will be replaced why not the one who will replace the charac5ter of Song hye kyo will be Yoon Eun HYe I think she's great. She's great on the princess hours and from my views she and SHK are the only ones who can fit the role because we all know that they are really good actress. They both got a character on a drama that became successful not only in korea but also the whole asia. Princess hours and full house are one of the successful drama's in all times why not if possible Yoon Eun hye of course no one can change SHK for me in these drama because she's the original in the Full house but hey Yoon Eun hye can also portray the main character of SHK. I really like both stars SHK and rain hopefully they changed mind and both accept the project. Its really sad and dissappointed but I guess its part of life that we have to accept changes we don't hold the lives of these great actor and actress. Until now I'm disseminated but we'll see whatever result comes out when the casting goes out and the drama starts mmmm~~~~ but hopefully the story continues still the same characters from the first one. Please we only want the continuation of the story of the 1st original full house not a different story and not different character...we want the same story and the same character :D

It's sad if Song Hye Kyo and Rain won't make it in Full House 2...
i heard that Yoon Eun Hye rejected it too...
too bad they can't make it...
it would be better if they will be in the season 2
but I say that the SoEul couple can portray their roles well...
Kim Bum and Kim So Eun proved their acting skills in their past dramas...
their chemistry's also perfect!
i think they can portray it well...
Kim So Eun resembles Song Hye Kyo in a way (for me)...
especially her scene at Boys Over Flowers (in New Caledonia) with Kim Bum...
hope they'll cast KIM BUM and KIM SO EUN in Full House 2!!

야... 궁S 이것 보세요.. The only remaining characters are just 1 butler and 1 maid.. That story and characters chosen totally spoilt the entire drama.. Why can't 2nd drama be as successful as the 1st?
Huan Zhu Princess in 1st 2 seasons continued with the same characters, the moment they changed them in the 3rd season, .. sad to say.. The new characters can't bring the feel as the previous..
I would not wish Full House to change characters because they could bring the feelings and the voices into this drama and make it so real.. Fame is one thing.. But once the feel of the characters been switched, no one will support it..
Knowing that China's and Taiwan's actors and actresses where some of them don't suit in acting in soap operas, kung fu dramas, Hong Kong action series.. Why risk to spoil your market and sales??? 나.. 모르겠어여.. ㅡㅡ

It's so sad to hear that Rain & SHK are not casted together for the role in Full House 2. It won't be full house without them. The chemistry they both brought and spread to the audience are irreplaceable. I think it's a big challenge for the producers & team to success full house 2, at least like the previous one.

I hope Song Hye Kyo and Bi rain will Also the cast of full house . It wont be Full house 2 if thy are not the cast . The flow of the story will be confused . I hope both of them will be the partner . I miss the chemistry of their personality . They are jolly person so the role is deserving for them . It is not beautiful when both of them are not partner

i was really excited knowing that full house will have its second season since i was a huge fan of FULL HOUSE. and i guess it would be better if song hye gyo and rain will still be the main casts. the people loved the first season because of song- rain tandem and of their story. if its not them together in the second, its a total different story. it should be about them. (smiles..)
hope the second one will be as good as the first one. :D

Hmm, I've recently finished watching Full House last month. I've heard about it years ago but never got the chance to watch until now and I REALLY do love it! I've been searching like crazy around the net to find where I can download the episodes until I found out that I could buy it from a shop with a really a good price but... the audio was in Chinese. T_T
Anyways... yes, I was FREAKING excited when I saw the "Full House Season 2" thing on DramaWiki... all I could think was, I wish, hope and pray that Rain and Song Hye Gyo would be back. From reading the comments after reading the article, I agree with almost everyone here about the producers only choosing one of the main characters or the fact that it's pretty much changing the story of Full House that's unrelated to the manga. I wouldn't mind a new cast but a cameo of Rain or Song Hye Gyo would be good and sort of a similar story but change it (shrugs). Though I seriously loved the chemistry Rain and Song Hye Gyo portrayed in the drama... it wouldn't be the same without them when season two changes... =S
But seriously, I want to know why they decided make the second season 'now' after all these years...

true if both of them arent going to be the in the lead roles then there's no use of making a full house 2 in order to continue they should have both of them star in it again that way it'll have HIGHER ratings. character changes will (no offense) ruin full house 2
