Full House Take 2 finally gets an airdate

Finally. Full House 2—aka Full House Take 2—has at long (long) last found a home on a television schedule. The show got on air in Japan even before it managed to at home; it premiered just days ago (October 5) on Japan’s TBS, while Korea will have to wait a few extra weeks for it to show on SBS Plus.

That’s… anticlimactic. While we here at Dramabeans have much love for cable television, that appreciation usually comes for shows that were intended for cable, and the greater creative license that cable affords. However, this case is different, since Full House 2 was meant to be a big broadcast production and floundered—literally for years—to find someone to air it. It feels a lot like this drama’s being relegated to a shadowy corner of the cable box, to be burned off on the downlow.

This is a sequel that should have come with tremendous buzz—after all, the original series was a mega-smash hit, got exported everywhere, and shot its already popular leads Rain and Song Hye-gyo to superstardom. Yet the sequel kept hitting snags, and while its production company tried to find a station to air it, scheduling conflicts caused a whole wave of castings and uncastings and recastings (heck, just skimming over the Related Posts headlines below gives you an idea of how confusing things got).

Frankly, a sequel without the original stars and set in a totally different world isn’t much of a sequel at all. Essentially Take 2 uses the initial premise of a movie star falling for an ordinary girl, and goes from there. Which is already like a dozen other K-dramas anyway. In this version, Noh Min-woo plays a top star who enters into a fake engagement with aspiring reporter Hwang Jung-eum, while idol star Park Ki-woong steps in as the third leg of that love triangle.

I was beginning to wonder if Full House 2 would be shelved forever—and I actually wonder whether it would have been better off that way, if only for the sake if its stars. The leads have since added more serious work to their resumés, and the delay in getting this show broadcast might seem like a regression. Remember Joo Sang-wook filming Paradise Ranch first, then getting lauded for a career-turnaround role in the intense drama Giant, only to have Paradise Ranch air afterward? All I can say is, thank goodness for Ten.

So after Park Ki-woong blew us all out of the water with his incredibly dark, complex role in Gaksital, I don’t know that I want to see him playing another lovelorn second lead, and in a fluffy rom-com that’s a retread of the same old. (Rom-com hero? Now that’s a different story.) We know Noh Min-woo can handle serious fare (Midas), and Hwang Jung-eum recently wrapped up successful medical drama Golden Time. It makes you wonder how they feel about Full House 2 coming out now.

Full House Take 2 premieres on October 22 on cable station SBS Plus.

Yep. I second that.

As for Noh Min-woo's... Well, call me crazy, but I think the hairstylist that's assigned to him was attempting to recreate Benedict Cumberbatch/Sherlock's do -- but fell short of successfully doing so.

Out of love, we should avoid this drama. None of the actors would really want to be seen this way.

I too was reluctant to start this one. But it does get better and rather addicting. Now I'm eagerly awaiting tomorrow's episode. So fans of these actors must give this drama a chance and I hope you won't regret it. Anyway, you'll know if you like it by the end of the first episode *grins*.

I know a lot of people will cry for the wasted Park Ki-woong... As for me I want to save Noh Min-woo from that nightmare. Who are the stylists and hairdressers of that show? How could they do this to him? Huhuhu...

I know! Noh Min Woo! I have not seen the guy in years and this happens and I want to hide under a rock for him from second-hand embarrassment. His managers and him better be working over time to get in a new show,lol.

I'm hoping Park Ki Woong will be fine. I want to see him in more and more things and I'm hoping this won't change people's feelings about his acting, like those who don't know this was filmed way before Gaksital.

It's so nerve wracking,lol.

Myst, I was going to link that awful trailer but thankfully you beat me to it. Linking it would mean seeing it again. *shudders*

I was saying the exact same thing as it relates to this airing 'now'. The drama scene is abuzz with Park Ki Woong's phenomenal acting and now to see him in.....this. *facepalm* I'll avoid it like the plague. I like Noh Min Woo alright enough although his last role in Midas was pretty much wasted. Hwang Jang Eum played a nice anti-typical-heroine role in Golden Time that I appreciated. Tut tut...oh well, not all dramas on one's resume will look good. :D

ANd....hey, it could be good. I mean really, its possible.

I think the biggest travesty is the hair on our leads and what it has done to all the pretty....but of course that's a point thats been discussed already...I do wanna add that Hwang Jung Eum really needs to fire her godawful hair stylist...whoever it is...I mean we got the upside bowl in CYHMH then this rag in FH2 and then the bad hair in Golden Time too..maybe she can look into getting Lee Min Ho's hair stylist

I agree! It's like totally manga-fied verison of Full House 2. Even if we don't compare it and just judge the drama solely itself; it looks B.A.D. (except PKW; what a waste of talent).

The leads look so pale, tired, and cold (literally and figuratively).

Anyway, the house is totally the star of the drama!

Why does everyone sound so harsh n pessimistic? Except for the really poor choice of hairstyle, it looks like a fun series based on the trailer. I think it's a little different than paradise ranch case bcoz (or dr jin for that matter) because all the main leads here r great actors.

Unless someone has actually watched the one that airs in japan and know from that that the script n directing are reallyt bad? Now that would be a more solid base to give critisms, me thinks.

If that drama is watchable in the end and manages to make me laugh and cry for the good reasons, I will post a public apology on dramabeans. Every material I could find (videos, BTS, pics) is cringe worthy.

It's not critcism, it's just a bad feeling. A really bad feeling. The fact that it was stuck in limbo for, like, 2 years before it got an air date is reason enough to be pessimistic. Then there's the fact that's it's pretty much a non-related sequel that came yeaaaars after the original. (Then there's also the fact that I didn't even like the original.) And like Mysti said, it looks bad just from videos. It may be better than it appears, buuuut I'm really not too sure. Also everyone's worried that it may be a setback for the actors involved if it flops, which it just might. Seriously, SBS Plus? I didn't even know that existed...

I think there are two main reasons that make people less than ethusiastic. For one the plot is something we've all seen a good gazillion times, sometimes in a better, sometimes in worse quality. The first Full House was decent, had great actors and became a hit. It will be difficult to make it again - can any of those actors repeat Rain's and SHK success? Is the actress as beautiful and charming? Is anyone as cute as Rain? *giggles to old memories*
Moreover the fact, that a sequel has been talked about for ages and then gathered moss on shelf for just as long makes me think, that the outcome doesn't seem attractive even to broadcasters - who wouldn't want to earn on the great success that FH was? There must have been a reason, that the mighty ones didn't buy it.
But of course, they can be simply wrong.
I am in the group that don't hold their breath waiting for the premiere, even though I did enjoy Rock Rock Rock with Noh Minwoo :)

Because all the signs pointing to that this is just not gonna be good are there. Shelving a project that long - uhoh. (Although, if I remember correctly, What's Up was shelved for a while as well, that was fairly decent - not amazing, but pretty good at times.)

Personally, I wasn't even much a fun of the original Full House. The whole thing about 'friends' selling your house and forgiving them was just too mind-boggling to me. Scratch that, I found it outrageous and upsetting to the point that it irritated intensely me the whole time I watched that drama.

Let's not forget PKW does have a new project coming out -- I think he's doing that movie "Covertness" -- it's kind of a comedy. Hopefully a dark comedy (hopefully) -- and he'll be playing one of the three main leads as a North Korean undercover spy. I haven't heard any news from his management agency but it sounds like the movie has cast him

Maybe the reason it has an airdate now IS Park Ki Woong's surge in popularity. Full House started my own personal drama craze, I have the VCD and everything comes out in DVD now...

on another slightly related note . . . na BI saranghae.

I guess Korea never learns its lesson...

Anyone remember Goong 2? Anyone? Or how about Dream High 2? Yea, I thought so. No one.

But who knows, perhaps it might be able to barely make it in Japan. This looks like it's been manga-fied. Japan's more into that stuff...so who knows.

Feel super bad for the leads though. They're all pretty good actors. God only knows what possessed them to take on already much beloved characters...

The trailer posted in one of the earlier comments makes this series feel like KPOP The Ultimate Audition or whatever (specifically it reminds me of the scene where the yoobrother got pants and there was screaming.....). Everything about it screams ewwww to me: the hair of the leads, No MinWoo's effeminate looks, the cheap-and-overly-cartoony feel.... I think it was shelved for over 7 years for a reason. Alas, we'll have to wait to it to air for the final verdict.

I feel so bad for Park ki woong. His career is like ups and downs all the time, ugh :...(

It can be at least decent, right? right?

Actually (from the trailer) the main man's haircut does remind something more of a japanese style, but if I feel like I am lost in hay when the leads come together, that's not good at all.

I like Park Ki-woong in all kind of shades and colors, but his Kimura Shunji is my favorite.

Does this mean I get to see the badass Shunji being all fluffy and cute since he's supposed to be an IDOL and all? Don't know how I really feel about this, but let's wait and see.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Full House, because it was the drama that introduced me to kdramas and Hallyu culture in general, but this sequel doesn't sound appealing in the least. And looking back with a more critical eye on Full House I cringe at its numerous flaws - badly and over used soundtrack (those few piano notes will stay imprinted forever) - repetitive storytelling - over the top melo and acting... Like you said in another post, the drama landscape has evolved so much over the past few years that making a sequel so long after the original aired makes no sense, not even from a marketing point of view, because the success it had then would probably not happen today.

YAY! I am a little worried about the stars being taken a bit less seriously after this, but I seriously need some less-serious Park Ki-woong to heal my wounded heart.
It will suck to see him as second lead again, though maybe it'll work out.... Maybe he'll be more of a friend-oppa whose not really interested in her and only serves to get Noh Min-woo jealous. I hope so!

I can tell I'm gonna have second lead syndrome just based on the hairstyles. I'll never understand why some dramas insist on giving their heroins hideous bowlcuts and ajumma perms. Maybe they want to make them more easy to relate too, but all they do is making my eyes bleed.
