By now, we’re a few weeks into our Fuller House obsession, and we already know the answers to the big questions. Is the reboot any good? (If you’re asking critics, no.) Are there any shocking reveals? (Um, YES.) How many dance numbers are there? (More than you would think.) Now, we can dive into some of the more obscure questions floating around the Full and Fuller House universe, and few questions are more obscure than this one: What’s with the Korean Full House on Hulu?

If you’re a fan of the beloved ’90s sitcom, then there’s a good chance you’ve already checked to see if the original Tanner adventures are on streaming, only to have your hopes raised and immediately dashed by Hulu. The streaming service does carry a title called Full House, but theirs is a 2004 Korean rom-com miniseries, brought to the service by DramaFever. Unfortunately, the American version of Full House is only available to rent or buy digitally. After being tricked into optimistically clicking on this other Full House several times, I started to become intrigued. Maybe this Korean Full House was a gem that was being delivered to me by the streaming gods themselves. I decided to investigate and see how this Korean miniseries stacks up to its American sibling.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE FULL HOUSES?

I’m glad you asked. The South Korean TV miniseries entitled Full House was released in 2004 and is a rom-com about an aspiring screenwriter who lives in a house built by her late father. That house was named “Full House,” hence the name of the series, and that house is kind of important. You see, in the Korean Full House, screenwriter Ji-Eun’s (Song Hye-kyo) best friends trick her into going on a vacation. The second she leaves, they sell her dead father’s home behind her back, you know, like friends do. Later, Ji-Eun meets the man who bought her house, an actor named Young-jae (Rain), and lots of other complicated things happen that probably would never occur in the real world. Also, they have a will-they won’t-they thing and eventually fall in love.

The American version of Full House follows a recently widowed Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) who is a father of three. Overwhelmed by the reality of having to raise his children on his own, Danny accepts the help of his rebellious rocker brother-in-law, Jesse (John Stamos), and his best friend, Joey (Dave Coulier). Uncles Jesse and Joey then proceed to live in the same cramped San Francisco house for at least eight years, and no one ever has an argument that can’t be resolved in more than 30 minutes. So yeah, both shows share the same tenuous grasp of reality.

ARE THERE ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE SHOWS?

Oh yes. The shows both share camerawork and outfit choices that can only be described as aggressively ’90s, even though the Korean Full House took place in the early 2000s. However, to be fair, the American Full House is a worse offender on this front. Both series are also set in insanely nice and expensive houses for their “normal” characters, and both sets of characters make questionable choices. For example, in the Korean Full House, Ji-Eun tries to cure her hangover by drinking milk, which is just a revolting hangover cure. Who wants to switch from beer to cow juice? If you need an example of the poor choices made on the American Full House, just remember Jesse had a mullet for an entire season. Enough said.

WILL I LIKE THE KOREAN FULL HOUSE IF I LIKE THE AMERICAN FULL HOUSE?

They’re both so different, that’s a tough one to answer. One is strictly a silly rom-com, and the other is strictly a silly family sitcom. If you like those genres and can forgive ’90s decor and camerawork, reading subtitles, and studio laughter, then you should like either series. I would give the Korean Full House 10 minutes, then see how you feel from there. It opens on a nice shirtless man, so at the very least you get some eye candy.

IS THE KOREAN FULL HOUSE WORTH WATCHING?

If you’re into foreign romantic comedies, that’s a BIG yes. This isn’t a comedy that’s going to make you question the essence of relationships or leave you rolling on the floor laughing. However, it’s sweet and quirky in the way that Korean rom-coms seem to dominate. Once you get used to the series’ beats and reading subtitles, you can’t help but unapologetically root for the main couple. Also, Ji-Eun makes for an insanely lovable protagonist, who really needs to make better friends. Personally, I’m going to keep pressing play on Hulu’s Full House and see exactly how zany these romantic antics are.
