A sequel to the super-popular Korean drama Full House is currently in the works; it will be a joint production by the Chinese, Japanese, and the Koreans. A few days ago, the production company revealed that they would choose either Rain (Bi) or Song HyeKyo to continue on as the main lead for the sequel. They also hope to invite one of the members of the red-hot Asian superstar boyband F4 to take part.
Full House is adapted from a Korean manhwa of the same name; the 2004 drama adaptation made main leads Rain (Bi) and Song HyeKyo into “household names” all over Asia. Rain has even said in the past that the success of Full House was a crucial part of his own launch and success in Asia.
Full House’s production company explained that they had actually begun preparing for a sequel two years ago; thus far, four episodes or so of the script have been completed (written). If all goes smoothly and according to plan, the sequel will begin airing in Korea in August of next year.

Translator’s Comments: It’s extremely important to take this news with a grain of salt. First off, whichever member of F4 it is… HASN’T agreed yet. Secondly, it will most likely be a guest appearance… say, for one or two episodes. It seems pretty unlikely that they’d ask him to be one of the main stars.
And yes, the article/production staff implied that ONLY one of EITHER Rain or Song HyeKyo would be the main lead.
Does that mean they won’t be reunited on-screen? Possibly. Or maybe one of them will just be a lot more “important” and central to the plot? Hope so… I can see a lot of fans getting upset otherwise…
