This drama's actually part High School Musical / part Step Up / & part Glee, where its lot more interesting then HSM, less sophisticated than Step Up, & far better cast & entertainment than Glee (& i actually LIKED all 3 of them!) I watched the first 10 episodes of DH at a stretch within 2 days! & in much less than 4days i managed to watch all 16 episodes WHILE having to go to work on 2 of those days! now THAT my friends is what we call an ADDICTION! i didnt even bother so much about my meals coz every minute i 'waste' on other things was like living in a new kind of hell away from my precious "Kirin High" friends............. & what surprised me the MOST was that by the 13th episode or so i was ALMOST considering it bieng in No.1 place surpassing Goong!!!! :O !!!!
BUT the last episode thankfully made sure that That didnt happen... but still its a mere 0.1% away from being on top... Goong still held the No.1 spot due to the cuteness of Beegung & Taeja as a couple, but then again if Pil Suk & Jason had been the main characters Goong wouldnt even have THAT to its advantage!
Regardless of the cast, with the exception of the teachers & Soo Hyun, being complete amateurs as they are all musicians and not actors, they did a rather SPLENDID job! Specially IU (Pil suk) & Taecyeon (jin Guk)! but what made Dream High REALLY & truly special, was its plot, flow & character build up!
"HYE MI" wasnt your average K-drama femal protagonist, who is a lil crazy, totally adorable & abslutly lovable, oh NO! she was anything BUT! she was arrogant, selfish, & totally full of herself! & EVERY1 including the viewers HATED her attitude! which for me was what made the whole thing interesting, and also made me really curious& wonder if this was actually gonna be lot more different than all other Kdramas & man was i EVER right! & as i kept watching it i was completely amazed by the gradual changes in the characters and how each one of them grew to be responsible and mature adults... its deffinetly a drama each of us could relate to, coz although we'r not all singers and dancers each of us have our own dreams & it would be simply nothing short of great if we could have the same courage as those guys in achieving it!.... but then again it IS just a drama!hehe!
I wont say much more about the plot or the big surprise, & i dont know if it would even BE a surprise to some of you who might actually guess it from the beginging but it was SURE a delight to me! :D so if you want to be completely absorbed in entertainment, curiuosity, romance, absolute CUTENESS, HOT guys & many pleasent surprises, this is SURELY 1 drama non of you should miss!!!
PS: It sure doesn't hurt to see one of our FAVORITE K-pop idols right at the beginning of the show! ;)
