Dream High


If you asked me to watch a Korean drama 3 years ago, i would say ok ok but i never do because i had absolute no interest in Koreans at that time. I never listened to Korean music, never eaten Korean cuisine, never read news (translated) about Korean entertainment, and i'm very positive i had never seen a Korean person in real life. 

Now, 3 long years after my expanded my little bubble, I'm all about Korean related stuffs. I won't be getting into Korean food or K-pop groups but i will be talking about Korean dramas which recently caught my attention.


This drama is called DREAM HIGH and i might have had a High-School-Musical-first-impression but after watching a couple of episodes i threw my first impression away so far that Zac Efron might have felt a slap on his cheek.

Dream High is about the six students from Kirin Arts High School working their way into becoming a music star in the Korean music industry. Kirin Arts High School is famous for producing some of Korea's best K-pop artistes and it is the first step for young pre-debuted artistes to begin their career. 

The six students are the main cast in Dream High and unless you don't know, most of them are K-pop singers in real life. Most K-pop artiste are triple threats because they sing, they dance, and they act. It's like a requirement that they know how to dance. I always wonder why the American music industries don't practice the same way as the Korean music industries.

The Cast
 Kim Soo Hyun plays the leading male role, Song Sam Dong, the village boy turned superstar at the end. He is more of an actor than a singer but i loved him in Dream High and yes he can sing.

Ham Eun Jung (Vocalist, Lead Rapper) from girl group T-ara plays Yoon Baek Hee & Suzy (Vocalist)  from girl group Miss A plays leading female role Go Hye Mi. Both these two characters were friends turned enemies and back to friends at the end.

Wooyoung (Lead Vocalist, Main Dancer) from boy group 2PM plays Jason & IU (solo singer) plays Kim Pil Sook. These two character made Dream High cute because of their cute puppy love story turned happy ending.

 *I had to*
Taecyeon (Main Rapper) from boy group 2PM plays Hyun Shi Hyuk, nickname Jin Guk.


Dream High even had a few cameo cast.
I don't know all of them but i do know these three ^^
