Actress Hwang Jung-eum and actor No Min-woo are likely to play the main characters in the sequel to 2004 smash hit TV series "Full House."

An official with their agency Core Contents Media told 10Asia over the phone on Thursday that both actors "have been eyeing the project positively and are almost set to star in the show."

From weeks ago, Hwang and No have been considered for the roles that actress Song Hye-kyo and actor-singer Rain took on, respectively, in the first series.

The original series was based on 16-volume comic series by Won Soo-yeon which was popular among Korean readers from when it started to be published in 1994.

No, who debuted in 2004, made his name known more recently through TV series "Pasta" (MBC, 2010) and "Midas" (SBS, 2011).

Hwang, debuted as a singer in 2002 but gained recognition after appearing in MBC reality show "We are Married" in 2009 with her boyfriend Kim Yong-joon of male group SG Wannabe.

Her last acting gig was in MBC TV series "Listen to My Heart" this year with actors Kim Jae-won and Namgung Min.
