This could have been great. This could have been the next You're Beautiful with a more memorable female lead, but it just wasn't.
The story is nothing too unique but it's definitely fun and if executed well could have been excellent. The begining was slow but not horibble and towards the middle I really started enjoying it but unnecessary drama happened and the quality dropped. The story was going nowhere for about 8 episodes or so.
The main female lead wasn't really unique but following her was fun nonetheless. My feelings towards Lee Tae Ik and Won Gang Whee changed as the drama went on. At first I wasn't fond of our main male lead's unique or shall I say feminine personality but by the end I loved him for who he was and enjoyed a really interesting character, because we don't see that very often. The second male lead...while I really liked him at first towards the end my feelings changed drastically. During the start I even wished that he would end up together with Jang Man Ok but he did a thing that I hate the most - he played the victim card. Now me disliking Won Gang Whee is a really personal thing, ( and maybe influenced by the fact that he was an obstacle for the ship to sail ;> ) because a lot of people seemed to have liked him till the end. And sure, no spoilers, but I know that his situation was hard to endure and all but I do not have to force myself to feel sympathy for him, I don't have to make myself feel anything, the writers who wrote the drama dictate whether I should feel happy, sad or angry and if the mood doesn't match my feelings that is in most cases a sign of bad writing. But again that is just my personal opinion and don't let it hold you back form watching this drama.
Another thing is that they focused so much on the unnecesary drama that they left a lot of plot holes, especially ones concerning the characters's past. It angers me, because they could have spent all those hours on some decent characte development.
The music was...while a lot of people praised it I had really mixed feelings about it. The melodies were fun and catchy but the lyrics were...well I didn't like them at all, I thought they were cheesy and it felt like not a lot of thoughts went into writing them.
Overall the drama was average maybe less. I really wish that some writers wouldn't try to overcomplicate stories with love triangles, bad exs, unnecesary drama and bad attempts at making a story deep and meaningful, because without all these Full house take 2 would have been an excellent drama.
