Wait~again?
Rain’s breakthrough acting vehicle alongside actress Song Hye-kyo, 2004’s “Full House,” will be remade in Taiwan. The news of the remake is no surprise because of the drama’s enduring popularity, but the thing is…isn’t there already a Taiwanese adaptation of “Full House” called “Smiling Pasta“? The producer of the 2006 Taiwanese idol drama even admitted that it was an adaptation, but no “house contract” and the media playing a larger role as an antagonist.
The new Taiwanese remake, however, is not exactly a remake of the Korean drama, but rather an adaptation of the original “Full House” manhwa by Won Soo-yon, which is actually quite different from the drama. Taiwan is notorious for being uncreative and producing idol dramas based on Japanese manga and Korean manhwa (Taiwanese people just LOVE comics), so it’s not that big of a stretch.
If you’re curious about the Taiwanese casting, it is rumored that the celebrity male lead will be played by baby faced muscle man, Wu Zun, and the spunky female lead with a heart of gold will be played by China’s rising actress, Zhou Xun. The choice of Wu Zun is no surprise because he is incredibly popular right now as a smoldering male lead, but I find it highly implausible that an actress of Zhou Xun’s caliber would actually participate in an idol drama. Yet then again, if she was making bank off this gig, why not sell out a little?
It seems like the story of “Boys Over Flowers” has already had enough drama adaptations, is the industry now moving on to “Full House”?
it’s Okay to remake films as long as you have the permission to do so… for those who are sick of that no one’s asking or begging you to watch it ok?
it’s just that many of the Filipinos love to watch remakes so some networks does it. and one more thing. Philippine’s showbiz industry with all the film makers and other company whose making some series or movies, they’re all doing their best when doing some dramas here. and they make originals too. it’s not always doing remakes you know. Philippine is not the only country that makes adaptation so we need your respect to what we’re doing or watching here. because we respect yours.
It would be better if JERRY YAN plays the role..
P.S
if there shall be a BOF philippine remake..I should play JAN DI’s role.. ahhahaha. joke
I agree with you . . . I’d like to see Jerry as Young Jae.
WU ZUN!!!! <3
even in Philippines we have the (upcoming) version of that at GMA network..i’m just not convince with the lead stars if they fit the characters….
hmmm..@ maricor: i think they made themselves clear when they wrote down..taiwan and not philippines. now you just told our secret to the world. LOL! so yes guys! if taiwan is notorious in remaking or readapting korean dramas..wait until you see philippines film industries..it varies from spanish to english (zorro is english right?) to korean, and so on and so forth. and it all started when..HAHA! i cant even remember when! LOL!~ i just hope they have the legal documents to show!
i guess it’s ok to remake stories.. go go go!! i love wu zun though
..the story of smiling pasta was great…though i find it just a little different from full house..
and wow.!that chinese girl looks like angela zhang…[ewe]
yuck. Wu zhun ):
AGAIN??
after hana yori dango, now full house?
Maybe princess hours’s turn later.
Jerry Yan = Youngjae?
I have no idea about who is Taiwan Mr.Right to take a role as rain. he should be a cheerful guy who could make us laugh.
Korea, Taiwan, and Japan base some of their dramas on manga.
wu chun is hoottttt!!!!!!!! im definetly gonna watch!!!!
who will play as the main character of this remake?asnswer please
whoa zhou xun
that’s a really surprising cast
i love the killer smile of Kim Bun
he so cute dieing to be with him
really wu zun will lead the character of full house 2?wow i will wach this i love wu zun..
who says he cannot ac well??duh if he cannot act well so why he has so many tv drama?hmmmmm
he really a gorgeous man and good in acting..love him
It’s cause he’s good looking. That’s the reason why he’s in so many leads. I don’t have anything against him and I don’t know if you speak mandarin or not, but he says his lines terribly/awkwardly and pauses at all the wrong spots. His pronounciation is terrible also.
Still Rain and Song Hye Kyo is the best …!
thank you for this information. I hope u ll go on helping us to learn this kind of important issues Eğlence ve hüznün bir arada yaşandığı bir dünya.!!!
does anyone know when it will air?
song hye kyo plz..
I don’t mind, I love Taiwanese remakes. They’re awesome. As long as it’s not a Philippino remake. They’re horrible at it and they never have any original films cuz it’s always based on either a Japanese, Korean or Taiwanese remake. -__- no creativity whatsoever.
excuse me, it’s not Philippino but Filipino.
and another thing, don’t say that Filipino’s don’t have original films if you only have watched the remakes. sure we do have remakes but not only that, we also have originals…i bet you didn’t even watch the remakes or any of Filipino films since you’ve already have it in your head that our films aren’t that great..but who cares of what you think, our films are produced and done for the Filipinos and not for you.
you don’t even know how spell “Filipino”. If i were you don’t say anything if you can’t even spell it right. It makes you so funny.
Taiwanese aren’t uncreative. what’s wrong with following the manga scripts exactly? I respect that. I think that’s how it SHOULD be carried out if you’re copying a drama from a book. people EXPECT that, or else they’ll have opposite feelings about it. -_-
i dnt like the girl for the vrsion of full house..
its better for ella chen to be the prtner of wu zun
ohmygosh. i freaking love zhou xun. she can ACTUALLY ACT. unlike a lot of star these days. but i don’t like the male lead that much:(
