Five Reasons You Should Watch Full House (No, not that Full House.)

[topazera]

Okay, so flist, you may or may not know that I'm currently in love with asian dramas. It's like American TV, but much crackier! And since they have a set amount of episodes, they never have a chance to fall off-track and become terrible! Seriously, it's so great to just a 12-16 episode season to watch of pure fun.

If you're new to dramas, I'd have to recommend you actually start with Hana Yori Dango as that's the show that hooked me. It's a recent classic for reason! However, there have already been great pimp posts about that show... so here's one about my current show that needs more love/fandom: Full House. It's about an aspiring writer, Han Ji-eun who, through a series of plot twists, winds up sharing a house with Young Jae, a famous actor.


You should watch Full House if you like:
1. Terrible Amazing Amazingly Terrible Fashion. While Young Jae can't quite compete with the ~outfits~ put together by Chuck Bass or Domyouji, he does like to expose at least 30% of his chest at all times. And, as far as they go, it's a very nice chest. :D


(That lime green crocheted v-neck is still seared on my retinas.
Btw, all ~looks~ come from just the first two eps. XD)

2. Han Ji-eun is both adorable and not afraid to kick some ass/be generally immoral. Like, conning some celebrity (...okay, it's Young Jae) she just met out of some money because she really does need it! Or headbutting him in the face. Also, her profession is an "internet novelist" which is just how you put "fanfic author" on your resume. She's one of us!


(Yes, Han Ji-eun will headbutt you in the face and chase you down in three inch heels.)

3. Couples who aren't too cool to like playing on a swingset. Seriously, the main couple enjoys psedo-dates would make many 13-year-olds say "Please, that's so lame" but are really adorable activities.


(Examples: learning to ride a bike, going ice-skating and, of course, playgrounds.)

4. There's a scene in which both our male and female lead try to make the other nervous by stripping off some clothing. It's as awesome and hilarious as it sounds!


(Two words: strip chicken.)

5. You need the sweet, sweet crack that only asian dramas can provide. Trust me, you do.


(Warning: Do not watch for the plot.)

ALSO: You might recognize the actor who plays Young Jae from his infamous rivalry with our very own Stephen Colbert. RAAAAAIIIIN! ...This brought me so much joy.

If you're interested in downloading this, or any other, Asian drama, you should go join [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. It's an awesome community that's provided me with many hours of entertainment. <3

Coming up next, icon posts. And why you should go watch Nodame Cantabile, because I'm going to be flailing about that one too. It has more plotty elements in addition to the adorablity and crack. Pfft, if that matters to you or something! ;)

OMG I HATE LOVE HAVE A LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS SHOW.

it's so incredibly STUPID in places, but Young-Jae and Ji-Eun are so..so..*flails*

anenko and princess_dexter are going to mock me for even mentioning that sometimes i love it alot. *mourns*

and yes, you NEED to see princess_dexter's picspam of bad fashion, because it is SO AWESOME.

..it will also burn out your retinas, but what can you do?

YES, this drama is definitely not with it's flaws and sometimes it makes me want to smack my head against a wall. BUT, for me, the TOTAL CRACK and OTPNESS of Ji-eun and Young-Jae really make up for the level of frustration. <3

(It may also help that this is only the... fourth drama I've watched and my first kdrama.)

BUT YOU HAVE ICONS, DOES NOT THAT IMPLY LURVE? XD

I so excited for that picspam that I'm saving it for when I have ample time to flail later today! The ridiculous fashion is worth the potentially scarring damage to my eyes!

BUT YOU HAVE ICONS, DOES NOT THAT IMPLY LURVE?

NO. IT IMPLIES THAT I AM COMPLETELY INSANE.

I wanted to hit things, especially Bitchface, whatever the heck her name was, the clothing chick, SO MUCH throughout this drama. many times i wanted to hit MYSELF for watching it.

did you see the picspam of bad fashion yet? it is not to be missed!

NO. IT IMPLIES THAT I AM COMPLETELY INSANE.

OH OKAY. LOVE WAS A PRETTY CLOSE GUESS.

many times i wanted to hit MYSELF for watching it.
Hee, you're such a masochist. Though yes, I wanted to hit Hye-won ("Bitchface" suits her better) many MANY times. I spent most of her scenes saying to myself "WHY are you SO TERRIBLE?" and "Your bra is NOT A FASHION ACCESSORY".

Speaking of, I did look at the bad fashion picspam and it was just as wonderful as promised! Oh man, it looks even worse when collected together in one place. Plus the categories were AMAAZING. SCARF-TIES.

Plus, it really struck a chord because princess_dexter mentioned, "if you thought this was filmed in the 90s, I can't blame you...". As I wrote in reply to that, when I had only seen the first two eps of Full House, mojotastic enlightened me to the rivalry with Colbert. And I was very confused when Colbert said "24-year-old pop sensation Rain" because I THOUGHT FULL HOUSE WAS FILMED IN 1994. I had to go google it. True story.
