Dream High 2

Hey Everyone!

So, as my time at home is coming closer to an end, I am trying to finish more dramas that I wish to watch before my departure. So, today, I just finished Dream High 2. I admit that the drama was not as good as the first season, but it was good in its own way. The drama mainly revolved around a girl named Shin Hye Sung, who wanted to make it big as a singer, yet she could not sing! Throughout the drama, HS learned more and more about herself, especially that not all dreams come true - need to be realistic sometimes. There were a few other characters that were hi-lited in the drama from Kirin High. One of the students was Jin Yoo Jin. He loved rock and was a free spirit, however throughout the drama, he had to face many struggles to figure out what he really wanted in life. Then, there was the idol groups; mainly JB and Rian. The two originally liked each other, but due to a certain incidence, the two broke up. Meanwhile, the two had their own groups that recently disbanded and ended up in Kirin High. The main purpose of bringing the idol groups to Kirin High was to start a new competition to find the "Super Idol". Initially, HS and Rian did not like each other, and that just escalated more and more throughout their time at Kirin High. It did not help with constant competition musically as well as in love. Of course another rivalry was between JB and YJ, which started long before idol days and Kirin High days. Majority of the drama involved these characters growing and realizing their dreams. Many critics have claimed that this drama was a poorly made JYP production, however, I did like it, mainly for the character developments and the musical performances. I gave this drama a 4 out of 5 stars because, though the plot was not great, it was realistic since not everyone achieves their dreams, and everyone needs to realize reality sometimes. I also love music related dramas, so that aided in my decision to give this drama such a high rating. I would definitely recommend this drama to all music fanatics.

Some comments about the drama (SPOILERS):

- hilarious: "i love you", fire scene, JYP's facial expressions, "hibernating"
- loved the performances at each stage of the competition
- B song was really catchy
- Rian + YJ combo was really good in terms of harmony
- Grease song!
- HS leaving scene was really good...
- last episode was not that great...

That's it for now.

I'm off,
