Dream High 2 (2012)

This is a review with little to no comparison to dream high season 1, just because I watched it years ago and I remember very little bout the drama, but I do remember that I enjoyed it. Anyways, for this season the storyline is lacking lots? I thought dream high is about 'achieving your dream' 'not giving up', but this series is always bout competition, it did not show their passion and desperation. Well, it was good that there is a very complicated romance story, but at the end it focuses too much on it? it became a school romance drama instead of 'dream high'. [SPOILER STARTS HERE] I was rooting for hae sung and yoo jin.. I can't believe I didn't get them after what happen in season 1. but I do like yoo jin and rian as well [SPOILER ENDS HERE]. So basically, the storyline was not that bad but lacks a lot. For character, I really think they wasted yoo jin. He is an amazingggg characterr but they didn't use him well. This is my first time watching a drama with great but wasted character. Apart from that it was okay. Aaa, the songs wasn't as good as s1 :(( that was what I expected the most when I decided to watch s2 :'(

This drama had a lot going against it and I think that was quite unfair. The drama in itself was in my own opinion fairly well done, and although it wasn't outstanding, it wasn't bad. I found a lot of enjoyment was lost in this drama because I had previously watched Dream High. But, the characters were fairly well done, and the plot was really intriguing.

I think that problem most people saw with this drama is that they compared it to Dream High. It is similarly what happen to Full House Take 2. If you can take this separately apart from Dream High 1 I think you can enjoy much better than most people did. Of course, Dream High was better but,this was not a bad drama. I enjoyed JB and Jr of Got7 in this drama, and if you wish to see them more you should really watch this.

The ending was weak, but, not that bad. I recommend if you can watch this drama before Dream High so that you can enjoy it without Dream High being compared to it. There are some references to Dream High but you should be good in general. Then go watch Dream High.

DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ ...

S1 was so good that I needed an urgent S2. but back then I was still young so couldn't get a hold of S2. sadly I waited years to be able to get a phone to view this and... Wow

at first I was skeptical because it has bad reviews saying S1 was better and this was Terrible but omg I'm glad I watched this because I'M SOLD OUT.

This drama might not be the best in quality but it was good at entertaining! I desperately enjoyed each moment and line and the romance was so perfect. My typical old style Kdrama romance which I'm a die hard of

The acting obviously wasn't the best but it was Just ok for this drama. the Storyline for me was wonderful. The Storyline so beyond my expectations because it moved me to tears. it wa so beautiful! And I learnt a lot here.

The ost wasn't so memorable..kinda cringe except the B Song. it was iconic. And I loved the characters so much... sorry but couldn't bring myself to like that villain girl role ..even when she became good lol.

and I was stuck between main lead and second lead...Loved both SOOO Much but SL had more impression on me. Liked him a lot.

FL was mostly annoying yeah...She got on my nerves tho but she wasn't the worse out there.

And one amazing things about this show is that it's literally the first drama that had me in no sleep. I watched this drama at night and was up all night! like I didn't sleep at all😂😂😀 it was that good.

so for anyone who saw S1 and skeptical about this. I suggest give it a go and see if it's to your taste.

I'm not going to tell you a story of how, when I started DH2, I wanted it so much to be just like the first, be cause DH1 had a plot and a some good actors (I'm an declared fan of Kim Soohyun). But when I looked over the cast I was like "Hmm, JJ Project, good, Ailee,Ji Yeon, I know her, good but... how are the rest?"
Running again through the cast I was PSY which made me go like "What episode? When? Gotta watch that". However, the actors that I wanted to make the story were only cameos. When I wanted to watch Dream High 2 I expected that the DH1 story would continue, only that Song Sam Dong would be a teacher there,a s he comes back from a K tour and he makes another student really good, as he/she falls in love with somebody, blah blah blah, but the story is mostly about how Sam Dong and Hye Mi are going up and down in their relationship and how Jin Guk tries to win her again. Anyways, a continued thing of Dream High 1.
Nope, it wasn't like that and it broke my doki doki kokoro. Anyhow, I said I should give it a try.

At a first watch the story was poor, or, at least, that is my opinion. It was full of cliches, and if it wasn't for my best friend, I would give it a one until now. But she said that it's normal. Ok, took her out, and I didn't cut 0,5 for each cliche I saw/heard/stuff. However, Shin Hae Sung being in a music high school when she's lacking any skill was odd. There would be a lot of other cliches, but I'm going to keep them for me, as they would be spoilers. So, for the story line and other stuff, 3. Lots of cliches that could have been turned into something nice.

Next, the acting. Well, I had no problem with that, it was quite ok, I have a problem with Ailee's face, that is mostly the same everywhere, and that each time I was Hyorin she was just smiling like a dummy. This and the misspronounced English, oh, also Si woo's epic style "same hot face allover" made me gave it a 7. But, keeping in mind that I don't give more than a 8 for acting, it's really well. (I gave Jaejoong an 6, and he's my ultimate so ...)

Next, the OST. Well, it's not Dream High 1 brilliant, but it's not bad either. I grew to like it, then to wake up in the middle of the day saying "I want to listen to this" which, in the end, made me give it a 10. Nit Outstanding, as in Dream High 1, for which I have a crush right now. I mean, Soohyun is not even a singer and his songs. Holy cow! But, for their way of growing into you, a ten.

I didn't rewatch it completely, but I ran though my screen caps (Jb's cute butt sdkjfaksjdfk) and got to the conclusion that I couldn't watch it again. But, as I can't watch many other dramas again, I gave it a five. It's a stan I have. Let's just say that all the feelings this drama gives me make me wanna throw it away. However, I have a DVD with that just to make sure that I don't loose it.

So, the final rating is 6,25 , aka 6. It's not bad for a drama that killed all my hopes from the first episode. Also, don't bother about that "2" after Dream High. Except for some flash backs JYP has (I don't know his character's name, he is JYP for me) there is no connection to Dream High 1.

I hope this was useful. Also, I recommend you to watch this drama, if not for the OST/cast, just to notice how characters can grow.

I rated this season lower than the first one. Why? Because obviously, the first one is better when it come to story plot, acting, music and impact. At first the story was confusing, suddenly introducing different characters confuse me. The flow of the story wasn't really that good. The acting of the characters weren't really that good as well compare to the first season. How should I say it. Ahm, I wasn't carried away with their acting. Music wasn't that really good maybe because they are not really gifted with such talents unlike in the first season. But the songs where cute. So i enjoy the songs too.

What I like about this drama is that the main lead character has a bad attitude too. When I found out that she was the one who did such action, I was somehow amazed because it was unexpected. As for JB I didn't expect that he will really fell in love to her. I was asking too, why her? haha.. Then when she mentioned about the cubic puzzle? I was,, "woohh that's why" It makes sense. Maybe, it's really like that that's why there are people who fall in love to each other unexpectedly.

Oh, and in all of the characters I really like Nana. She is funny and kind :)

that's all ^^

Why did i decide to watch this drama?! uggh. Oh, yes because of the star cast and because i loved the first season.

Stupid story
Messy plot
Eye candy
Idol actors
Nice songs
Dumbass Female lead
Asshole Male lead
Rocker second Male lead
A villainous second female lead who turns out to be not so villainous.
No chemistry
Sudden out-of-the-blue romance
What was the message again?
What did the drama try to tell us?

I wasted my precious time. I suggest you don't waste yours, unless you consider your time to be precious. Honesty, I decided to watch this drama, despite the low ratings on MDL simply because of the star cast and I am a big fan of GOT7 and Jb and Jr are in this show. The first episode and the second episode were funny. I did laugh a lot in the first two episodes. But then the series started going downhill.
