I loved this drama special - the description is a bit misleading though - I thought it would be about a evil twin and a good twin but it wasn't; it was mostly about misunderstandings of the younger twin and how much the older twin loved and wanted to protect his younger twin.
It was full of action, drugs, cops....I cried a lot - but make sure you watch all the way up to the very last seconds.
Cast: was so good - the actor who played the teens and the one who played them as adults - they know how to act! Eunchang was my favorite character <3

I will definitely re-watch this drama special again - I think I'm going to download it too!
It's definitely worth your time.

Ok, I decided to watch this drama b/c of Lee Sang Woo when I saw him in A Warm Word drama - I immediately liked him.
But to be honest, this drama was slightly disappointing...Why? b/c they showed the 2nd lead guy WAY more than they showed the lead guy, I don't know about anyone else but when they do that it really bothers me.
It started off pretty interesting, but the fact that they pull the "amnesia" thing in this drama got really frustrating - most of the drama I was disappointed in the lead girl - how could you not see the great man standing by your side? She always seemed drawn to the 2nd lead - throughout the drama I was pitying the lead guy and hating on the lead girls dumbness. after she found out some things it started to pick up again - but when her memory comes back she practically throws everything in the dumpster and really hurts the lead guy - enough so that I wanted her to be Unhappy forever.
However the drama did end nicely (after all that ridiculous revenge stuff got over with). If you can sit through all the frustrating things then I'd say a one time watch of this drama may not be so bad...but I wouldn't recommend a second watch. overall, I am glad I watched the drama (if only so my curiosity has be quenched).

I finished re-watching this drama a couple days ago and it was just as enjoyable to me as the first time I watched it.

Cast: Very good - hase 2 of my favorite actors starring in it: Kim Jae Won and Kim Eugene they make their roles really believable and you grow along with them throughout this drama. KJW starts off a bit immature but he learns to be more responsible when he is with KE and the fact that they have a child together helps ;) I really enjoyed watching KJW with the child actress - she was so adorable with big eyes

I really liked this drama, I recently re-watched this drama this past year (2013) and I enjoyed it just about as much as I did when I watched it the first time.
Obviously there is a switch of birth at the hospital by a nurse filled with revenge against the villain.

Cast: I loved most of the characters, and hated a few too. My favorite was not the main lead (but he was the reason I watched this drama the first time lol) I fell in love with Park Hae Jin's character (this is actually the drama where I became a fan of Park Hae Jin) - he plays the good guys son raised by the villain - he has a lot of pain in his heart b/c he is good-natured but get's forced to do things at times that go against his conscience. He does what his "father" orders him to do and puts a seal on his heart in order to act it out. He will commit one MAJOR sin in this drama - but as the drama progresses you feel for him again and he wiggles his way into your heart. (I personally found him more attractive than the lead guy) and I liked his "love story" more than the lead guys too lol. Don't get me wrong though I still loved the lead guy ALOT and I loved his "love story" too (but his is more tragic - his pulls ALOT of tears out of your eyes *sniff *sniff)
The villains son - to be honest I liked him a bit at the beginning and then really started to detest him somewhere in the middle (believe me you probably will too - if you get emotionally attached to characters as I do).

Music: was AMAZING!!! I loved how the producers kind of gave each character their OWN song (if you read the lyrics you'll understand what I mean - reading the lyrics as you watch the drama is a true tear jerker)

Re-watch Value: Is a definite (since I have already re-watched this drama :D )

Full House is the second Korean drama I ever watched, one of the first dramas that got me addicted to Korean dramas for life!
Story: A girl who gets her home stolen behind her back by her best friends while she has been sent off on an overseas "trip". Along the way she meets a famous actor and low and behold when she gets back home she finds everything changed including the owner - who she had just recently met *surprise* lol
Cast: Bi Rain was so adorable on this drama (it's the first drama I saw him in). His expressions are priceless, you really get to see his "adorable" side in this drama (it's one of my favorite things about Rain), he can act so adorable in such a natural way and of course he can always yank the tears from my eyes when he gets emotional :'( Song Hye Kyo (also the first drama I saw her in) I became a fan of both her and Rain after watching this drama. She is a great actress, I really felt for her in this drama & totally shipped her with Rain <3
Music: Excellent - you'll be singing along in no time ;)
Re-watch Value: 10/10 b/c I have watched this drama at least 3+ times already lol

I have watched this drama twice already, once a couple years ago and I just finished it again today.
Lee Da Hae is the queen of comedy in my perspective - she always fit's that role so well.
I love Lee Ji Hoon in dramas too, wish he'd get more lead roles.
This drama is very enjoyable to watch, plenty of comedy and romance - especially on Dong Gyu's side (Lee Ji Hoon). The story progresses nicely - a few episodes is slightly irritating b/c of the cousins lies - but you can get through them b/c of Dong Gyu.

Music: Great! I love the BGM on this drama - including Lee Su Ha (Lee Da Hae)'s cellphone ringtone!

Cast: the cast is exceptional as always, they all display their characters really well. Lee Ji Hoon (Dong Gyu) portrays an honest loveable character who will do almost anything to protect the one he loves. (Chan Min) portrays a playboy cousin whose scheming mother wants him to take over the company to fulfill her own greed.
I found Su Ha's brother really likeable.

This is my favorite Family drama out there! The storyline is amazing, the cast is great, the music is awesome, the plot is superb!
Characters: you've got
Donghae: (Ji Chang Wook) who plays a smart innocent nice guy who was ditched by his girlfriend of 6yrs and then he meets Bongi.
Saewa: the evil ex-girlfriend who tries to get in the family of the rich in order to make her self known (she is the evil girl in the drama).
Anna Laker (my favorite mother) who after an accident when she was young is stuck with the mindset of a 7yr old - but she is loveable, yet sometimes a bit too naïve/stupid in things she does - but the reason is obvious.
Donghae and Bongi are my reasons for loving this drama. Donghae is the best male lead ever - he is trustworthy and loveable! Someone who believes in his love no matter what.
159 episodes (35 min episodes each) so it's more like 45 episode drama.
I've watched it twice and want to re-watch it again - I even bought the drama! to me it is a Masterpiece!!!
I loved every character in this drama - but all in all Donghae and Bongi were still my favorites :D
I HIGHLY recommend this drama if you like Family dramas!

I Loved this drama from start to finish! I think the description should be changed though - as Ha Ryu (PHJ) is not someone who would do ANYTHING (a.k.a kill someone) just to get ahead and make money, he truly puts PEOPLE first and cares about every customer! He is such a sweetheart, so nice and kind - I love him to pieces!!!!
I loved the Insurance girls (Da Hae) character as well, I could really relate to her feelings for some reason during the whole drama.
Jae Hee got on my nerves a lot - not because she isn't a nice person because she was, but when someone hangs around someone you don't want them to hang around, it can irk you lol.
The lessons this drama taught about how to treat people you sell things to was superb! This drama is going in my masterpieces collection! It was unique and fresh! Romance and Business! Good people and bad people!
The music was superb!
All the actors did an excellent job with the roles they portrayed!
All around this drama gave me a very "warm" feeling while watching each episode, it was very heartwarming.
It definitely connected with me on a personal level - it was very touching.

This drama was great from the very first episode, filled with tons of intense action and fighting scenes! as the drama progressed there was a change of writers so the storyline changed a bit but not so much as to make it bad, it was still great. I tagged three men as #1: Mo Il Hwa, #2: Shin Jung Tae, and #3: Jung Jae Hwa - they were the best characters in the drama - especially my Man - Mo Il Hwa
Most people seemed to not like this drama b/c of all the intense action and fighting scenes - but that is what made this drama so great! You should know that if you want to watch a drama like this there will be lots of fighting - I loved Mo Il Hwa and Jung Tae's brotherly relationship on this drama - they kicked butt!!! Mo Il Hwa was my favorite - he was good to look at and made me swoon half the time - but his fighting skills were amazing!
Music - really good - especially the fight song! I still listen to it at times :D
Cast: everyone played their part really well - they made me mad, made me cry and made me smile.
Re-watch Value: I'll be re-watching this drama someday ;)

If you like Action Movies, like lots of fighting, blood and political messes - then this is the drama for you - yes there is romance to - but I think that is more of a side story to the real story.

This is going on my black list. I will never watch this drama again, such a disappointment >_< I skipped half the scenes that were irrelevant in this drama (mainly pertaining to Ha Rim & Mi Joo - they had ZERO chemistry) - I don't know what the writers were thinking.

Cast - everyone was ok except for one couple. but overall only two people kept me going: Ha Kyung & Jae Min - who had great chemistry - if they writers would have given me the romance of JM & HK over HR & MJ then this drama would have a much higher rating. the only other couple I enjoyed watching on this drama was the married couple Yoo Jin & Sung Hoon - she was prickly and we find out later why, and he was really loveable - seriously when I think of him I think of him saying 'baby' all the time - the way he says it with the accent he has towards his wife is just adorable! All men could learn some things from this man!
The eldest couple on this drama was cute but somewhere towards the end I started to get a bit irritated with them (mainly b/c of the relationship that MJ & JM had before that had now messed up what could have been a wonderful fates for one leading couple).

Music was really good.

rewatch value - 0 Dreadful if HR & MJ didn't exist in this drama then I would possibly give it a chance again - but they ruined that possibility for me...

Either way I became a fan of Lee Sang Yeob through this drama - he draws out your emotions SO well - I hope he gets more leading roles where he gets the girl! maybe another drama with him and Shin Da Eun again? ^^ - seriously they had GREAT chemistry and were really cute together.

If you plan to watch this show there are some things you need to know, first of all it is a Family drama (which is why it is so long) and if your like me you will probably skip everyone except for the main leads scenes, no one elses story affects the main couple except for her dad and the woman he falls for, otherwise everything else is irrelevant, so if you decide to skip you aren't going to miss anything important. overall I wouldn't watch the show again unless they made a shorter version just involving the lead couple....

This drama is good if you have been a drama lover for a long time, but I wouldn't recommend it for newbies, the story line can get a bit draggy and the lead girl can get really annoying with the fact that she is overly submissive to her parents, I found the lead guy to be cute and funny with a bit of a temper lol; I personally favored the 2nd couple on the drama over the lead couple, probably because there was more pain involved in their relationship.

If you like political, crime, and action dramas then you should enjoy this drama.
Story: The storyline is awesome, there are bad people everywhere, but it can be hard to tell who they all are. Secrets are everywhere, it can be hard to tell who to put your trust in. Enemies at every corner.
Cast: everyone played their part so well I was impressed! Park Yoochun stole the screen lol - I loved his character and the female cop who tagged along to uncover the truth. The actor who played the president was awesome in his role - I would love to see him in another drama sometime ;) Villains all played their role exceptionally well.
Music: was Daebak - especially the suspense music!
I was so glad nothing looked animated - everything was as realistic as it could be - it was a thrill ride that's for sure!
Re-watch Value: I absolutely loved this drama! I will definitely watch it again someday!
