I was actually pretty surprised of how nice drama this was.
Hwang Jung Eum was perfect choice to Man Ok's role and I really liked No Min woo as Tae Ik too.
This drama reminded me of You're beautiful a lot in many ways. But still this is very unique and fresh!
I recommend this drama to everyone who enjoy light romantic/comedy dramas with nice music in it.

The drama itself was a pretty good drama, not one of the best I've seen but I did enjoy watching it. Its one of those dramas you have to keep watching to like.
I really enjoyed the acting, characters were really unique and entertaining to watch. I mean you get to see both No Min Woo and Park Ki Woong play completely different roles from what we are used to and on top on that they sing >< .....I just loved the music. The songs were really fun and catchy.
Any who definitely recommend if you are in the mood of watching a light romantic/comedy.
P.S NO this drama does not have anything to do with the first Full House but the name.

There might be similarity like the lead character is also a popular artist, but he is the one who is after with the Full House as he is the heir of it. The leading lady is now a writer like the first one, she is a Hapkido master with designing clothes talents and she is smart!
Well then, there's always love triangle, but this one focuses more on friendship, hardship and perseverance of a dreamer reaching his goal, showing the life of artist off camera and how the works of showbiz life. It also showcase the talents of Korean singer group, the importance of working together, the respect for elders and so on. It is not fully drama so you can enjoy the hilarious plot.
Every episode is getting better and better and more intriguing, that's why the viewers, like me, won't be able to stop watching it until dawn!
The romance is not exaggerated like most of the dramas I've seen, they act naturally and not so melodramatic (which is very annoying for some non-Asians), which I think is best part of the drama. The flow of the story was very well done by keeping it's viewers entertained and have that feeling of asking for more.
Well, there are also eye-candy in this drama, where the two leading man, shown their half naked body, which is, yeah, for the girls to scream hahaha, which I think is very strategically planned. I am also laughing out loud with Jang Man's best friend for 15 years, she really is very good on her acting, how she was able to act "fan girling" and loyalty stalking fans. She is my favorite here, no offense on the lead actors.
well, as for those who have Second Lead Syndrome (just like me), it's surprising that I didn't rooted for Kang Hwi. He did pretty well in here and he is also good looking. The reason my Second-Lead Syndrome does not worked this time, it's because the production did a job well done by choosing the second lead, because, they were able to portray the characted well that the viewers were not confused to who they will vote for Jang Man Ok;s happy-ending-man. They are able to perfectly convey that Jang Man Ok and Tae Ik are the pair, which is good so that you won't feel pity on the second lead.
Any how, I recommend this to all viewers to watch and rewatch. Have fun viewing!!!

*Actors: Very decent. There was chemistry between main characters, but it wasn't as great as it could be... Oh, and yes - I didn't mind their hairstyles at all so maybe that's why it was possible for me to enjoy this show(?).;P
*Overall: Truly enjoyable. Recommendation for anyone who wants some relax with smile^^
~ Cheers!
(and I apologize for grammar mistakes;))

Hairstyles are terrible but you may get used to it and they change it near the end.
All in all lighthearted, young adult drama filled with music (that I didn't like very much, not my genre I guess) and some comedy, quite different from the original.
Personally I liked it more than the original Full House and I recommended it to anyone who likes rom-coms.

It was too dramatic at some moments but it just made the drama more interesting.
Park Ki Woong was the perfect choice for the cute guy with poor destiny. I don't know another actor who can do it az perfect as Ki Woong.
I love the music! After I watched the full drama I downloaded all soundtracks that i could find. I must admit there was moments when i couldn't watch another episode. Maybe it was too much for me.I hardly made myself to watch all episodes not only the end.
It's not easy to say "Full House 2" is an ordinary drama. This drama has things that not every drama has.

The story is pretty typical. Love triangles, bromance, some misunderstandings, and an "evil" president cause troubles to all the main characters. The writer resolves most issues quickly and it comes to a nice end. The only complaint I have is that the main female lead and the main male lead do not spend enough time together.
No Min Woo/Tae Ik and Park Ki Woong/Kang Hwi play their characters very well. Of course, they are good looking. Kudos to the writer that added all the half naked scenes in the beginning of the drama!!! Regardless, they act their parts well. Ki Woong played a man going blind with conviction...most people aren't that good. Hwang Jung Eum also did a great job of playing Man Ok. She was girly and strong which is nice for a female lead.
I guess they read the reviews by the viewers on the fashion and hair styles of the actors, because somewhere in the middle Min Woo and Jung Eum get a makeover. LOL
The music is excellent.
I would probably rewatch this if I was looking for something light to watch.
I recommend that all romantic comedy lovers watch this drama. You won't regret it.

This is a Drama that I enjoyed very much, it is very refreshing and funny. It is a Drama, that makes you addicted very easily and makes you want to finish it in only one day! Well, didn´t work for me, since I too am human and have Needs :D However, it costed me 2 days to watch this and I know these days weren´t very productive, but still, I don´t regret! ;P I was enjoyed from the very first to the very last minute of this Drama, there are some things where I expected more.
Story: Hmmmm, the Story is nice, although not very unique. What matters more, is the execution - and yea the staff did a good Job, it´s executed very well! I was a bit disappointed with the ending though, I expected a bit more of romance! My opinion is that the romance was too little (although I really love Dramas without romance! I don´t need it, but this couple... too cute!).
Acting/cast: I need to say that I watched this because of my eonni, who liked it very much. She showed me funny Scenes and we both had just discovered a goodlooking, talented guy named No Min Woo! He is not only talented in singing and playing drums, no he is also talented in acting! I liked him very much as an actor in here, also Park Ki Woong and... forgot his real Name again... :D Baek Go Dong was he called the Drama ^-^
Music: The Music was very nice, but well... there weren´t so many Songs... I would have liked it if there had been a few more in the Repertoire ^-^
For me me enjoying it as a romcom Drama it reminded me of Me Too Flower, there is this Feeling while watching a Drama. It was exactly the same in Me Too Flower and Full House 2! ^-^ And about the characters it reminded me of You´re Beautiful, Lee Tae Ik and Won Kang Hwi, they were pretty similar to Hwang Tae Kyung and Jeremy! However, you really won´t be wasting your time, once you start this you probably wouldn´t want to stop until you finish ^-^

This drama is good enough entertainment for anyone that can overlook certain obvious plot issues as well as the stereotypical drama sequence. The story was all too familiar and the execution was not unique either. A woman is caught in a love triangle between 2 men, both of whom she respects and admires, but has stronger feelings for one over the other. But of course she doesn't realize that until later, and when she does, a psycho woman from that man's past ends up showing up to make things difficult, ending in a way that is expected. Drama formula 101.
The acting and script however were extremely fun to watch. I loved how each of the actors portrayed their characters. All were pretty exaggerated and over the top, but that was the whole reason we loved them in the first place. There was plenty of aegyo, and Park Ki Woong's teary scenes made me sad too. The back-stories for the characters were nice to see, and allowed us to see what motivated the characters to do as they did.
It was easy to fall into the story and get absorbed by the fantasy that was Full House Take 2. It was a good watch. Not unique, but fun all the same.

The actors were fair to middlin' as my nana would say. There wasn't really anything spectacular here, nothing extraordinary. In fact, as I am writing this, I can't think of a single scene that really blew me away or left me dying for more. I did finish all but the last part of episode 32 in two days, so that's not say that this drama isn't somewhat compelling.
I think my main point of contention with this drama was just how many dropped story points there were. There were so many people and situations introduced that we just never heard from again. And even with the main characters, it was like they were only used when it was convenient for the storyline. During the whole basement period where no one knew where Kang Hwi was, it was like he had never existed with any of the characters other than Man Ok. And why do we never find out what happened to Tae Ik's parents? Or more of what happened with Kang Hwi's? Though, we did get more of Kang Hwi's than Tae Ik's at least. And the whole consequences of the gambling thing are never brought up again either after that one episode.
The whole thing ended up feeling a little schizophrenic and all over the place. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of friendship between Kang Hwi and Tae Ik. We are supposed to believe that these people were best friends, to the point that Se Ryung was jealous she tried to destroy it. But that's what I don't get. If it was that strong a relationship, how was it that all she had to do was kiss him and it was irrevocably destroyed? I just refuse to believe that a friendship that is supposedly so strong could be destroyed so easily and so permanently and that Tae Ik would never stop and think that maybe he was misunderstanding his very best friend.
As for villains, LJ was just a ridiculous one. I have a really hard time believing someone in his position woul continuously make as many poor choices as he did. If there was a wrong or dumb move to make, he was going to make it. It didn't come across as evil, just as if the writers expected their viewers to not care that all of it was just dumb.
All in all, it was just poorly executed. The first Full House was my very first Asian drama, but even so I came into this with low expectations. I just feel really sad that with as low as they were, they still couldn't be met. I would say if you have free time and nothing else to watch, then give this a shot. Otherwise there are much better love triangle dramas, and way way better kpop dramas out there. I mean, seriously, you are going to make a drama about a kpop duo and only give them ONEFREAKINGSONG to sing and dance on stage? I can understand it may be difficult to write your own songs for a show, I don't really know what goes into something like that. But if you know you only have ONE SONG, why oh why do you make them perform at least once every little half episode for the first 10 parts? You can touch, be my girl, you can fly, let me love love you tonight. It will never get out of my head!
As an aside, seriously, I think these boys were absolutely insane for hiring anyone with hair that awful and who dressed that poorly as their stylist. She wore a shirt with a collar made of stuffed cats for Christ's sake. My brain just kepy repeating "Did that really just happen?" over and over again.
I'd really like to come up with a list of positive things about this show to explain why I actually liked it. But honestly, I think I liked it because I just have really awful taste! And I'm OK with that :p

The story is simple and for most you can figure out the main couple early in the story but the two main characters are so cute that you can't but continue watching. The middle gets a little too ultra dramatic with a few too many misunderstandings but they finish it off really well.
This drama is an easy quick watch, do not compare it the original and watch it without comparing it to Full House and you will enjoy it.
