Korean actress Hwang Jung-eum and actor No Min-woo have been confirmed for the "Full House" sequel.

A press release by the two's agency Core Contents Media said on Tuesday that both actors have signed on as the main characters "after amicable discussions between the agency and show's producers."

Hwang and No had been in talks to star in the sequel since mid-September but held off on their decision due to differences in opinion with the show's producer.

The upcoming "Full House" sequel will focus on the fake marriage between a top star and a poor aspiring reporter. It will make its premiere on Japanese broadcasting channel TBS in March of next year before it begins its run in Korea.

The original series, starring singer-actor Jung Ji-hoon and actress Song Hye-kyo, was based on a 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.
