Starring:
Hwang Jung Eum as Jang Man Ok
No Min Woo as Lee Tae Ik
Park Ki Woong as Won Kang Hwi
Episodes: There are 16 episodes, but they have been broken up into two parts each for a total of 32 episodes, each 30 minutes long.
Show Premise: Lee Tae Ik and Won Kang Hwi are a K-Pop duo, Take One, that is famous throughout Asia, but even with their success they fight all the time. Tae Ik takes everything too seriously and is usually seen in an unfavorable light while Won Kang Hwi rolls with the punches and is the most adored member of the the group.
Jang Man Ok- man ok meaning full house- is the granddaughter of a taekwando master and even though she loves her grandfather and the dojo, she dreams of being a full time designer as she keeps her online mall a secret.
Man Ok get tangled up with Tae Ik and Kang Hwi in more ways than one, when she becomes their fashion coordinator. Let the games begin!
Now with all the official stuff out of the way, I wanted to post up my thoughts on the first episodes.
At first I wasn’t even going to watch this new edition. The
first Full House starring Bi was cute but nothing really great, so I had concerns
about how they could improve, especially since they kept postponing the
release date. The cast doesn't seem bad with Min Woo ( My Girlfriend is a Gumiho), Jang Eum (Can You Hear My Heart) and Ki Woong (Bridal Mask), so what was the problem? The stills that were released all made the show seem overly dramatic and cheesy, and honestly after such a serious year, for me at least, in KDrama, I wasn't sure how ready I was for a cheesy show.
After watch the first episode I now know that my thoughts
were correct. This show is cheese and more cheese, but it’s like any other disaster, you can’t seem to turn away no
matter how bad it looks, mostly due to the fact that you can’t believe what you’re
seeing.
The hair? Poorly done for the
three leads. Hwang Jung Eum has an old lady’s hairdo, which gives girls with curly hair a
bad name. No Min Woo had a fight with the curling iron, and Park Ki Woong dunked his head
in a vat of peroxide.
The fashion is brow-raising and quirky.
 |
| Take One and their CEO, who is rocking a fur trimmed coat in the office |
 |
| A brass Won necklace?! AND an ORANGE suit?!! |
 |
| Nice jacket here |
 |
| He was supposed to be hiding from fans, but the fashion police should arrest him |
 |
| Normal looking for the first time in 40 minutes |
 |
| Another nice blazer, but the sunglasses.... |
 |
| Stars and Leopard and Skulls... |
The dialog and plot are predictable, so why do I want to keep watching?!?
Is it No Min Woo’s pretty face? The hate-hate relationship that
Min Woo and Ki Woong have for each other, which was displayed in their fight over a designer scarf.
 |
| He really wanted the scarf... |
Or is it just the hope that this will be funny?
So Far they have managed to surprise me twice. The first was the kiss at the end of the first half.
 |
 |
| Al Chun-ah!!! |
The second was discovering Lee Seung Hyo in the cast. He played Al Chun in Great Queen, and I developed a bit of a crush on him.
To see him and three leads in this sort of show, makes me curious. Will this show turn out to be a lovely cheese fest or will it just fall into
the category of an utterly ridiculous waste of time? I will, reluctantly, find
out.
