I am currently watching Dream High 2 and I'm absolutely loving it. I will confess, I never saw the first series of Dream High. But, so far, this series has grabbed me so much that I'll be hoping to watch the first series very soon.
I was attracted to seeing Dream High 2 because of Jiyeon from T-ARA. I'm a fan of T-ARA and Jiyeon is by far my favourite member so when I found out she'd be starring in this new series, I was so intrigued. So I started, and I was not dissapointed at all. Dream High 2 may be set at an arts school but it's completely opposite to the usual sterotypes that are attached with the 'art's school' programmes on TV. This series doesn't heavily feature annoying brats who want to be famous and they aren't any cheesey show numbers. It's as far away from High School Musical as possible.
Most of the cast is young and features stars from K-Pop Idol groups (Jiyeon from T-ARA, Jinwoon from 2am and Hyorin from SISTAR) but as well as great vocalists, they're also pretty good actors. Especially Jinwoon from 2am who is probably my favourite character. He's so cool and doesn't show his feelings often but I feel like he wants to. JB is another great character, although he is rather cold-hearted at points.
The series is a mixture of emotional highs and lows. It can be so funny at points (mainly due to former After School member So-Young's character Soon-Dong who makes me laugh with her crazy facial expressions and mannerisms). It can also be highly emotional (Kang Sora's character has such a hard time and I really feel for her).
Although it may have a few clichés and it can be over-the-top in some places, I still find it a fantastic show where the characters are so relatable. I don't want the series to end!
What do you think of Dream High 2? Better or worse than the first series?
