True, true. There a few classics which I love...to hate...and even I cannot say they are not classics...lol *sigh*

Rain is really not at his best...lol

I only go "Guh..." for Rain when I see videos of his "Hip Song" and "Love Song" dance moves....:D

I think Runaway Plan B did it for me. Besides my weakness for an actor who can do both comedy and drama (see my eyetamins) I also have a soft spot for an actor or star that is crazy popular but is still able to laugh at themselves or look foolish on camera. (See Lee Seung Gi and SJS when he did that variety show) It's also why I'm not ashamed to admit I love Justin Timberlake. He's like that too.

There were some moments in RPB that Rain was willing to just act the fool. I liked that. hey! maybe I do know why I like him! lol

What variety show was SJS on? And should someone be ashamed for loving Justin Timberlake? If so, then add me to the club....lol :O....lol

Oh, by the way....--->Her friends selling her house is not really a spoiler, doesn't it say so on the synopsis? <---

Ji Sub Ahjussi was on "Infinity Challenge" a few months back and they practically tortured him with humiliations galore. He was so dorky and silly and I just fell in love with him more... I don't know how that was possible but I did. ♥♥♥ Love him so. I guess it does say that in the synopsis...about the house but I was more worried about my negative opinion influencing someone not to watch it. so I figured if I put a spoiler warning it might warn someone off reading it? oh well.

Although I like Rain I didnt like Full House but thats probably more down to my taste in dramas it was a bit too fluffy....I LOVED A Love To Kill which alot people would probably dislike cos of the angst/heartache etc lol but i liked all of that!!

I'm in agreement with the majority. I too watched this early on in my Kdrama schooling, and loved it, and hated it, and got frustrated with the cleaning, and wondered why the hell they didn't have a washing machine, and wanted the house (especially the fridge), and thought 'how is there even a bloke with the name Rain - how am I supposed to google that?!', and was totally sold on him by the end.

If I would enjoy it as much now as I did then, I am unsure, my drama 'bar' has been raised over the years. However, I remember Full House fondly, and it would certainly fit on my 'classics' shelf.

i just finished rewatching this and (i still LOVE it) but realized all they do it clean, eat, brush thier teeth and Rain yells ALOT, like if he's not yelling he's not talking. it's so funny what you notice the 2nd time around.
