Review Dream High


Dream High is a Korean drama about a group of students that go to Kirin High School of Arts trying to be superstars and follow their dream.  There are 6 students specially that this drama follow but first lets start with the main character. Ko Hye-MI (played by Suzy, Miss A) is a young girl whose dream is to become a classic vocalist. She comes from a wealthy family who know has money trouble and debt. Hye-Mi is a very though girl who comes of as a snob. She sees Kirin High as a stupid school and did not want to go there because she had plans to attend Julliard. Short story she had to audition to Kirin because her father was in debt and the debt collector guy told her if she wants to pay her father's debt she would have to become a k-pop star. A lot of things happen within the audition for example we see how her friend Yoon Becky (Ham Eun-Jung, T-ARA) is always under her shadow and how people can change and do horrible things just to show off and pretend they are better than others. Another character we meet (my fave) is Jin Kuk (Taecyeon from 2PM) Hye-MI and Kuk meet when he saves her from the debt collector and even though they don't get along at first they become good friends. He is super cute and attends the school for his dance. The next student we see is Jason (Wooyoung, 2PM) He is an exchange student but his English sucks but at least he is cute. He is one of the most talented student at the school. Another student we meet is Kim Pil Suk (IU) She is a shy girl with so much talent. She goes from big to small to big its cute. The last student is Song Sam-Dong ( Kim Soo-Hyun) he is a country boy who was given the opportunity to join the school. Even though I get annoy at this character I feel for him because he goes through some intense changes plus I feel like he deserve the ending he got. You get a lot of music and dance its great to see all the journey of the characters. You have so many different personality that you feel drawn to one. Plus the mojority of the actors are from JYP records and Mr. JYP is in the movie. Before I forget there is also another important character who help all those students achieve their dream, Kang Oh-Hyuk, their teacher and Hye-MI's "enemy". Its great to see a character like him pushing the students and helping them reach their dreams with his kind heart. I would recommend this drama to anyone specially if you like musicals and k-pop artist. This has it all. I give it 4 out of 5 stars just because it didn't end how I wanted it to.

Korean Drama review... Stars falling from the sky.


Title: Stars Falling From the Sky / Pick Up the Stars
Language: Korean
Country: South Korea

Plot: "They say in love that opposites attract. Won Kang Ha (Kim Ji Hoon) is a stoic, guarded young man who still harbors a wounded heart from being abandoned by his parents when he was a child. As a razor-sharp corporate attorney for an insurance company, he works hard but also tries to keep everyone from getting too close to him. So what happens when he starts to develop feelings for Jin Pal Kang (Choi Jung Won), a brash, outspoken employee within his company who lives recklessly and above her means? Pal Kang’s life changes, however, when her parents suddenly pass away, leaving her as the sole guardian of her five younger siblings. Can the unlikely pair discover love despite their own personal pains? “Stars Falling From the Sky,” also known as “Wish Upon a Star,” is a 2010 South Korean drama series directed by Go Kyung Hee." http://www.viki.com/tv/782c-stars-falling-from-the-sky


My review:

So this drama starts a little slow. We have a young lady running around a lot and talking very loudly. She is the main character Jin Pal Kang. At first I did not really like her character because she was very selfish and it looked like she did not help her poor family. She was just childish and even though her family tried to give her a reality check, she was living in her fantasy world, that one day she would be swept off by her prince who she considered to be Kang Ha. After the death of her family she grows up and matures. We see a very different side of her and we start to like her more. You end up cheering for her and want her to succeed. Something that kept me watching this drama was actor Kim Ji Hoon who played Kang Ha because he is very hot. Apart from his hotness he is a great actor and I love the way he plays a cold hearted man who is afraid to show any emotion. So if you are used to Korean drama you know that there is usually a love triangle in every drama. The nice guy who in this case is Kang Ha's brother falls for Pal Kang, while Kang Ha secretly falls for Pal Kang, but Pal Kang likes Kang Ha. The question is who does she end up with? Im not going to give you the answer but I believe its obvious. Doesn't everyone love a bad boy. Anyways I love that this drama has kid actors in it they give the drama a touch of comedy which is great. We also get to see the struggle of loosing both parents and being homeless from the eyes of these children. Its heartbreaking but everything ends well. If you are looking for a drama that will make you cry, laugh and fall in love this is the one for you. I loved this drama and it has become my favorite. Not only does it have comedy, love, tears it also has crime. We find out that the death of Pal Kang's parent was not an accident but was caused on purpose. I really hope you enjoy watching this drama like I did.

Score: 4/5
