Richard Gutierrez and Marian Rivera in Local "Full House"?

After My Girl, My Name is Kim Sam Soon and All About Eve, another koreanovela is about to have its Philippine version.

GMA bought the rights for the highest-rating koreanovela on Philippine television, Full House. When GMA Network aired the Korean series in 2004, it received a peak rating of 52%. Now the kapuso network has decided to make it’s own Philippine version of the show.

As of this post, the leading man role is still reserved for Richard Gutierrez. He will play the role of “Justine”, originally portrayed by Asian Heartthrob Rain.

Wilma Galvante mentioned last year that the role of Jessie Han, the female lead in Full House, is reserved for Marian Rivera. But of course, it will only be possible if Marian’s schedule will allow her to be the local “Jessie Han”, originally by Song Hye Kyo.


Jessie is the woman lead character of the drama. It is shown as a a naive writer who got swindled out of everything she owned including her house by her best friends. Stranded in China, She managed to borrow money from an actor Justine to return to Korea. On her return, she found out that her house was bought by Justine. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she entered in a contract marriage with Justine for one year. In spite of losing all, Jessie manages to be cheerful and takes things in strike and the business relationship between the two becomes personal as they start to rely and care for each other.

Marian Rivera have a new primetime sries to be launched soon. Marian is paired with Mark Anthony Fernandez for the remake of the classic superhero "Darna." Richard, on the other hand, is starring the the local tv remake of the Mexican legend “Zorro.”


So for now, we can assume that Marian and Richard’s next project is “Full House” after they finish their primetime series. This is going to be their second team-up after their successful Valentine movie My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend.
