How Why Why Love is totally a remake of Full House. Except Taiwanese-ified.

Oh, and the more I think about, the more I realize that Why Why Love is EXACTLY like Full House. Except instead of getting married, she becomes his nurse. But basically everything else is the same. Seriously. It's uncanny.

Plot points that are the same!

1. Girl meets Boy, Girl ruins Boy's shirt, Boy hates Girl. OTHER BOY finds Girl charming.
2. Boy is in love with OTHER GIRL who is a friend from childhood. OTHER GIRL is in love with OTHER BOY. OTHER BOY only thinks of OTHER GIRL as a friend.
3. Girl and Boy enter an agreement that brings them together. Girl does a lot of cleaning. Boy is impressed by her cheerful nature.
4. Girl is poor. Boy, OTHER BOY, and OTHER GIRL are rich.
5. Girl has people in her life who make living difficult (Full House -> her "friends", Why Why Love -> her family).
6. OTHER GIRL is a bitch, and although she loves OTHER BOY, she insists on keeping Boy to herself.
7. OTHER BOY is incredibly awesome and charming, and totally perfect.
8. Boy and Girl come to love each other despite everything.
9. Boy is all conflicted, because he wants to be faithful to OTHER GIRL, despite being in love with Girl.
10. Girl is all conflicted, because she thinks Boy doesn't love her, and OTHER BOY is obviously devoted to her.
11. In the end, Boy and Girl are happy together. OTHER BOY and OTHER GIRL kinda just hang around being like "...we're still here..."

Handy character key!
Girl : Jia Di (WWL), Ji Eun (FH)
Boy : Huo Da (WWL), Young Jae (FH)
OTHER GIRL : Yan Shu (WWL), Hye Won (FH)
OTHER BOY : Huo Yan (WWL), Min Hyuk (FH)

SEE!!

The only major differences in the two stories are the marriage thing, and the ending of Why Why Love which weirdly veers into HEALTHSCARE!mode. Other than that, they're like the same story. Why Why Love is totally Full House, except Taiwanese-ified (hellllooo motorcycles and excessive drinking).

All asian dramas are similar in some ways, but honestly, these two are crazy-similiar. Does anyone else see this?!

full house, twdrama cliches, twdrama, kdrama, drama, why why love
