Full House Take 2 is a 2012 South Korean television series that was jointly produced by Korean, Chinese and Japanese companies. It aired on Japan's TBS-cable affiliate TBS Channel 2, and South Korean cable channel SBS Plus. The term "sequel" is used loosely, since the series only shares the same premise as Won Soo-yeon's manhwa and the original 2004 hit Full House, but has a completely different set of characters and plot.

2/10

The drama paled in comparison to its predecessor, managing to somehow be an even bigger problematic piece than the troublesome first season. From its lackluster plot to its uninspired character dynamics, this spinoff felt like a cheap imitation rather than a fresh spinoff. Gone are the scuffed and endearing dynamics of the characters, replaced instead by awkward interactions and forced romances, resulting in a disjointed narrative that struggled to find its footing. The writing was lazy and contrived, relying on tired recycled storylines, it also shamelessly recycled the exact same jokes and bits from the original, albeit with even far less finesse and charm. Both male leads were unbearably cringe and the female lead was equally doormat. While the original may have had its faults, the spinoff took those flaws and magnified them, resulting in a soulless spinoff that tarnished whatever shred of goodwill the original may have had.

You've reached the end.
