FULLHOUSE




Jessie (played HEART EVANGELISTA) is a naive writer who got swindled out of everything she owned including her house by her brother, Donald (RAINIER CASTILLO) and his wife Lisette (SHEENA HALILI). Stranded in Prague, she managed to borrow money from famous actor Justin (RICHARD GUTIERREZ) to return to the Philippines.

On her return, she found out that her house was bought by Justin. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she entered in a contract marriage with him for one year, a marriage made by Justin to save his pride for being taken for granted by Elaine (ISABEL OLI) for their childhood friend, Luigi (PATRICK GARCIA)
Inspite of losing it all, Jessie to be cheerful and takes things in strike and business relationship between the two becomes personal as they start to rely and care for each other.


..Ok, getting straight to the point, I'll admit Pinoy remakes are absolutely not my cup of tea, but since i sooo love Hearty, i decided to swallow my prejudice and just give it a try. Wow, i never really expected to enjoy it tremendously!

THE CASTS:

► HEART EVANGELISTA as Jessie Han is a perfect choice indeed! After learning that GMA will be making a remake of the well-loved korean drama, I had only her in my mind to play the perky,bubbly Jessie. I brace myself for some disappointments though..for i im not 100% convinced that she could pull it off nicely. Heart is a good actress alright, but comedy isnt seem her forte, and i doubt if her comic timing would be that effective. It was a relief that so far she's impressively giving justice to Jessie's character, i havent been disappointed yet! Aside from having a striking resemblance with Song Hye Kyo, Heart's light, wisely toned-down acting is remarkable as well. I never really thought she can do comedy but now i can say that her comic instinct is pretty impressive, she is a natural! She took her character with ease, she's so charming and her antics and monologues are hapleslly funny. There are instances though, that her speech tends to be gibberish and her voice has a nasal sound to it that it is sometimes quite distracting but she's just sooo downright adorable that you'd overlook that immediately. Really, i so adore our very own Jessie!!!

► RICHARD GUTIERREZ's acting, on the other hand, i think, needs some polishing, major polishing, that is. Justin is supposedly egotistic, our Chardy is quite a 'softie'. Ok, yeah maybe he just got so used in portraying the superhero sort of characters in his previous action-packed series that he find light acting a bit ironically difficult But he should make an effort to pull off his character nicely or else Heart's acting would always outshadows his.

► PATRICK GARCIA: tsk tsk..why do you suppose he bagged Luigi's role? Cause i see not a single reason why he did! Luigi should look like a heartthrob not a high school geek for crying out loud!! Akihiro Sato or Wendell Ramos would have been perfect.
ahhh... the things i wanted to change but just cant be undone!
Really, Fullhouse would be a total irresistible candy if not for him!



► ISABEL OLI. Is her character supposedly mellow and uhm, boring? Or her acting is just painfully dull and dry?


► So far the SC esp RAINIER CASTILLO, SHEENA HALILI, KEMPEE DE LEON, EPI QUIZON, SWEET, CHARIZ SOLOMON are doing great. Oh, I absolutely love Maya! She never fails to make my day! just take a look at that straight-faced gothic girl and youll sure to have hearty fits of laughter!
:D

► THE PLOT:
hmz..i heard that GMA tend to drastically alter the plot of the korean dramas they make a remake of. So Its a good thing that eventhough they made it much more bigger, they still apt to stick to the original storyline.Theyre good, alright, but Fullhouse's extreme popularity was majorly due to hilarious Justin and Jessie's cute petty quarrels and until now i dont see enough of these. Our Justin is just sooo sweet and gentlemanly! Hmmz...but on second thought, i think he's ok naman. For me ha, i havent watched the original version yet so i cant really make a comparison between his and Rain's portrayal. Well, its just a matter of damn-if-they-do-and-damn-if-they-dont naman.
And as far as team FH is concerned, they want to stick to the original plot, but want to have an original pinoy spice to it. Some twists to make our own version stood out among the others. (Fyi, there's the original-- the Korean version, then the Vietnamese one) Hmz, actually, i think our version is really good albeit its few minor flaws..

::► here are some of the excellent changes they have made:

*Having duped into selling her house by a brother rather than a friend is more realistic.

*Having a gay manager rather than a female one is funnier.

And that gothic girl and her deadpan acting..*roflmao*

i owe so much laughter for this girl! =D

..FH is indeed a refreshing show to watch, a breath of fresh air amidst the stale-smelling dramas of today. i'll be sure to continue seeing it nightly because it never fails to tickle my funny bones!

kudos FH!
