I have a love/hate relationship with this show.
Oh boy, I just finished Full House and MINOR SPOILERS about character development incoming…(no plot details)The thing that repeatedly made me think about dropping this show was the fact that the Male Lead was (for the most part) a childish jerk all the way until halfway through the last episode. When the FL admitted to having feelings for him I was baffled. Usually in these shows with the “mean/jerk male lead” trope there is enough there to explain why the FL has fallen for him. I can’t say I ever understood it on her side. He had moments(rare moments) when he would treat the female lead like a fellow human who deserved respect. Those moments slightly(and I mean by like 1 or 2 percent) increased as the episodes went on. Those moments(really until halfway through the last episode) were never enough to make me convinced of their shared love. I was openly rooting against him which brings me to why I kept watching.
The second male lead, I have no memory of hearing about full house in context of SLS, but man I had it bad in this show. The second male lead was the most charming and charismatic character in the entire show. I loved almost every scene he was in. His acting was brilliant and I also appreciated that he wasn’t the completely pathetic SML that just silently stands by and supports the FL. he fights for her, which is my favorite kind of SML.
The SFL was also great, at first I thought I would hate her, but I thought her arc was handled perfectly and pitched just right. She seemed like a real human.
The FL’s terrible “friends” were really funny IMO, although they were sometimes annoying.
The last characters I want to mention are the ML’s family. I loved his grandma, she was so funny and her relationship with the FL became so so sweet. I wished there had been more development of the plot/relationship between the ML and his dad, they seemed to set it up as this major thing only to barely wrap it up in the end, which was disappointing.
The only reason why I rated this show overall as high as I did was because the chemistry between the ML and FL is really strong, so despite me not being convinced of why she falls for him, it’s obvious on the screen that they are in love and happy when they are together. It works too well to deny it.
One last note that doesn’t fit anywhere else in my review. The OST for the show was good, I enjoyed it, but there were some covers of some English songs that were really weird and bad and distracting, so that’s why I rated music so low.
I won’t be rewatching this. I do rewatch my favorites, but watching Rain be a childish jerk for over 16 hours just isn’t an experience worth repeating.

i had a great expectations after seeing everyone was talking about how much this drama is amazing
if i watched this at the beginning of my KD's watching journey
i think i would like it
but after a years of watching KD's i think i can judge stories well
so i think this drama was too childish for adults
and the plot was weak
too much quarreling , too much yelling and too much childish actions
the last 10 min. in this drama was nearly the best
and the only heart warming moments when they talked seriously and calmly
i have never seen that much of selfishness, filthy and hustler
like those who called themselvese friends in this drama
the story was draggy almost no side stories
just the same repetative scenes for the both leads yelling and quarreling
really it could be much more amazing than that
i thought the ML's family will take a good space in the story but it' doesn't happen
the Fl's taste in fashion and hair style was the worst
thank God i watched it because
i had it on my watching list for too long
this drama is for watching once

The characters were horrible
Was this drama entertaining? Yes. Was it good? No. Did the characters make me want to throw my phone across the room every five seconds? Absolutely.I have to get this off my chest because it made me so heated every single episode, THE MALE LEAD WAS THE LOWEST OF TRASH!! He was a manipulative, lazy, mean, lying person whose word meant nothing. It felt like every single episode he would make a promise to her and then immediately say that it meant nothing and he’s not gonna keep it anymore. He made me so mad with the way he would treat her and be mad as to why she would pack up and leave. Also he would like play with her emotions like they meant nothing and he would do it so much that I just stopped rooting for them to be together after 5 episode. All I know is that he needs to get a therapist to learn how to manage his emotions.
Im just gonna say it…the female lead was stupid. Well not completely stupid but she tolerated too much and was way too forgiving. The ML would constantly be screaming and berating her and she would STILL be nice to him and always always take him into consideration. Every time he stood her up or said the meanest things ever she would time and time again still forgive him and still like him. Idk I just think that she’s way too good for him and shouldn’t have married him( his proposal was also ass).
I’m not even gonna talk about her “friends” they make me too mad.
The only redeemable character imo is Hye Won. Obviously at first I hated her because she never wanted the ML until her first choice rejected her, but after giving it some thought I understood her. They were childhood best friends and she didn’t realize how precious he was to her until she was losing him. I think her pursuing Young Jae was the normal thing to do after finding out he was in a fake marriage. She never treated the FL terribly and only ever aimed to make the ML hers. I had so much respect for her especially when she let him go to the FL despite her feelings for him, she was really strong for letting him go even when she still loved him so much. And she STILL became friends with the FL by the end of the show, she was 100% the best character with the best character development.
Story wise it was pretty entertaining ig but still very annoying.

This was the first Korean drama I watched after Autumn In My Heart took over Asia. I only watched it because I recognized Song Hye Kyo. This is a typical Korean drama with a lot of bickering and fighting and are we together? no, we're not together. Do I like him? Does she like me? It's a good ol' classic Korean drama. It is okay if you are starting to get into Korean dramas but Korean dramas now are nothing like ones in this era. It's light and fluffy though, so if you want something where there is really no emotional investment on the show, watch this.

I watched this with high expectations. But I ended up being disappointed.
You couldn't see the the thread running though the story.
I personally think that Song Hye Gyos should work on her acting skills. None the less, she is gorgeous.
Rain on the other hand was ok. You should watch "Sang-doo, let's go to school" if you want to witness his true acting skills.

In Short: Unrealistic plot, and a slightly unrealistic courtship. Though cute, the plot and characters get repetitive.
Pros: Fun and lighthearted, hilariously dated fashion choices for Rain’s character
Cons: Low on logic, repetitive, incompatible leads, bad music (though quite hilariously repetitive)

The plot is funny and never bores you. There is one absolutely hilarious moment every episode and almost most of the other times also it makes you laugh. It is pretty lighthearted and the cast is very likable. Although I don't think Young-Jae was a very nice guy, it seemed like Ji-eun's love for him was true and unshakable. It did drag longer than required but the cast was good enough to make me stick to it.
I particularly found Ji-Eun, Hae-Won and Min-Hyuk to be very beautiful people. Their dressing style and the shooting locations were pretty eye-catching. I also like their house a lot.
It's just one of those dramas where you can grab a bowl of popcorn and watch it without worrying about too much drama. It will definitely not fail to make you laugh.

Ji Eun is a well developed leading lady. She's so kind and naïve how could I not love her? She might not be worldly and this gets her into a lot of trouble. Especially her capability to love. Sure I'd get frustrated with her inability to stand up for herself or even turn her friends in to the police after they scam her. But that's part of her charm. Ji Eun is fully realized, friendship and her ability to forgive are definitely her crowing glories. She's kind and while that makes her a victim at times you can't help but admire her tenacity. Especially when she wants to get her father's home back.
Sadly Yeong Jae, Rian's character, doesn't do well for me. Oh, he's well fleshed out. His problem is he's spoiled, and a super horrible person. Yes, his character evolves and it's clear that underneath his horrible personality resides a nice guy. (Deep-deep-deep-deep-deep-deep-deep down.) The problem is that most of his development happens in the last few episodes of the series. Because this guy is a jerk to Ji Eun. He spends most of the show pining away for another woman, who is basically the male version of him. He does a few nice things for Ji Eun in between his trying to win the love of another woman. And watching him slowly (SLOWLY) fall for Ji Eun is sweet. I advocate for shows to take their time and build the love story.
It's a sticky point for me when a male lead is a jerk. That the scenes where I want to punch him out way anything else I've seen from him. The last few episodes should not suddenly be crammed with how he finally realizes how awful he's been to the lead, and now he wants her. It irks me. Whether books, TV, or movies. It irks. Especially because Ji Eun is so great! I loved her and I wanted to watch her be wooed and romanced properly. Not just by the third wheel of the love triangle, or again the last part of the show.
The rest of the cast of characters are fun, but none of them interested me. In fact, I disliked the majority of them. Their basic purpose for being there was to make Ji Eun miserable or give her some new hardship to over come. Sure there were some great friendship moments, love triangle swooning, and other things to add to the story. Sadly just not enough. Being able to enjoy supporting characters is something that can save a dramas and enhance. Of course conflicts need to come from them. But at least let some of them be likable and developed.
Now another painful thing was the music. Holy cow. Whenever Yeong Jae visited this bar the same song would be playing on endless repeat. (A song I used to love.) Some of the music was good, but after hearing it on endless repeat, during a pointlessly drug out scene . . . ugh. Oh, and the music that came on for the endless cleaning sequences . . .
This dramas took me three years of stopping and going to finally finish. It caused me to give up dramas for a while as I TRIED so hard to finish it. Full House will be the last drama I ever force myself to finish. The fact that this is a drama standard classic, and I can see how it has influenced and inspired many a dramas after it. (A formula that is very hit or miss with me.) Sad truth is that if I hadn't watch Rain in other roles and adored him before that, it would have been a lot harder for me to become a fan.
This is a drama staple. Just be sure to watch it because you enjoy it. Don't push on. If you really need to see it what I said above would be great advice. Especially if you've tried watching it before, or you hit the point where Full House is no longer working for you. This was the dramas that truly taught me that though dramas may be short, they can be some of the most repetitive and drug out viewing material out there.

What I love most about this drama was that I had a really good laugh at every episode and as the story progress I kind of get used to the characters instead of feeling awkward. They were cute, Rain and Hye Kyo did really gave justice to their characters. I never laughed so hard watching a Korean drama, this is the first and I am happy to have decided to watch this.

Full house is the adaptation of the korean comic book (manwha) with same name. I am very much amazed on how well they closely executed the storyline and even the changes they made. Let me also point out that they built the "Full House" almost exactly the same as the one in the book!
The characters are so refreshing and their antics are sooo funny! Not to mention they have an undeniable chemistry! I have enjoyed watching this drama and has a good rewatch value!
