Time flies so fast. So fast that you have to keep moving forward
or else you’ll be left behind. But once in a while, looking backwards and being
reflective is essential to be able to recognize the importance of every
decision and to derive helpful lessons from errors in the past.
With graduation day fast approaching, I can’t help but feel
sentimental. All of a sudden, memories came rushing into my mind and it’s an
overwhelming sad feeling ‘cause I will terribly miss all that has happened during
my four years in college, especially the people I’ve met and got along with.
This goes out to all of my beloved classmates and friends, who have been a part
of this crucial stage in my life.
With graduation day only a couple of weeks away, I can’t
help but wonder about what’s in store for me in the near future. Only God knows
what lies ahead in the next days, months and years after leaving the
university. It’s okay to ponder about the next decisions to make, but it’s also
not a bad thing to have a trip down memory lane and take a glance once more on
the good old days.
Looking back at the past, here’s a classic Korean drama that
undoubtedly captured the hearts and minds of viewers around the globe.
I got carried away with the introduction so please bare with
me and carry on with the review.

Thanks! J
It’s no surprise why Full House has a strong appeal among
the viewers around Asia.
It is a high-rating program during the time it was aired in
the Philippines. I decided to write about Full House because as far as I can
remember, it’s among the first Korean dramas that I enjoyed a lot, probably
because it is a rom com. This is definitely a great starter for someone like me
who was still new to Korean dramas at that time. For a newcomer, watching Full
House can give you a memorable start.
Song Hye Kyo and Rain nailed it with their effortlessly
funny performances. It comes off naturally, making the show light, entertaining
and uncomplicated (though it is not lacking in twists).
The chemistry of this adorable and annoyingly cute couple is
so strong, and that’s enough reason for anyone to watch this drama. It also served
as the main strength of Full House.
I’d like to include here a pretty accurate summary of the
story of Full House from Wikipedia:
Ji-Eun (Song Hye Kyo), an aspiring scriptwriter, lives in a
house called "Full House" built by her late father. One day, her two
best friends trick her into believing she has won a free vacation. While she is
away, they sell her house. On the plane, she meets a famous actor named Young
Jae (Rain). Through comedic events, they get acquainted during her vacation and
when she returns, she discovers her house has been sold to him.
Though they don't get along with each other, as she is messy
and he has a bad temper and likes cleanliness, they agreed to live with each
other. At first, Ji-eun works as his maid in order to buy her house back, but
because of Young-jae's wish to make the love of his life, Kang Hye-won, jealous
they get married. They set up a contract for the marriage to last six months.
During that time, complications arise and Ji-eun and Young-jae become attracted
to each other.

Song Hye Kyo definitely keeps the mood of the drama light by
her loud and cheerful personality. I claimed myself as a fan of Song Hye Kyo
when I was a kid, right after I saw her in Autumn in my Heart. Wow, she’s
undeniably beautiful, even when crying. She blew me away and I instantly got
hooked with Full House.
This rom com series is also blended with heartwarming
moments that will surely touch your soul. Their love-hate relationship will make
you giggle a lot. They are constantly arguing like cats and dogs. But more than
the clashes, they also have their own problems to deal with. Young Jae is experiencing
an emotional turmoil because his career has gone downhill and also because the
love of his life, Kang Hye Won will be leaving soon. On the other hand, Ji-eun,
whose only possession is the house she inherited from her father, is struggling
financially. To top it all, they still managed to brighten up the mood with their
hilarious exchange of dialogues. The huge difference of their personalities
paved the way to an unlikely but interesting love story.
There are plenty of couple moments to enjoy, plus the music
from the ost is just sooo perfect for the drama. The finale is sweet and
fulfilling, and that’s all we wanted in a drama. Seems like I can only give
praises for this series. Maybe because Full House is guaranteed to satisfy your
expectations. :)
I would not give it all away, cause there’s so much more to
say and I don’t think I can give the justice this drama deserves.
Take a break from tear jerker, overly dramatic series and lighten
up your mood with the classic Full House.
