If you are able to watch Dream
High 1, then you must be familiar with Kirin High School of Art – the school that aims
to produce the top Korean idols. This is where everything happened.
Let me introduce you to the characters
which, I considered, played a big roll.
Rian played by Park Ji-Yeon
For me, I think
she’s the center of the story. She’s pretty and hard working. On the outside,
she looks fierce plus the heavy eye make-up, but if you’ve get to know her,
she’s playful and gentle. She loves her mother so much even though they always
have quarrels. Even though she’s part of the popular girl group HerShee, she’s
like a normal girl when in love. She gets jealous and insecurities. But when
she cares, she really cares. Her dream is to become an A-Rated actress.
However, due to lack of acting skills, she’s being ranked as B. What to do
Rian?
Shin Hae Sung played by Kang So-Ra
She’s called the
ugly duckling. Rian even said, she’s the epitome of plainness. Yes, she’s the
total opposite of Rian. She barely even have make ups. She dressed simply.
She’s just a normal student on Kirin Art School plus her intellectual skills.
But remember, Kirin Arts School is not merely relying on academics, you should
have talent too. Unfortunately, she was embarrassed many times for her
unpleasant voice and she doesn’t even dance well. Poor Hae Sung! But even
though she lacks skills, she still works hard and tries hard to do things the
best way she can. Whenever she’s stressed, she solves math problems. Like
seriously? She’s a bit weirdo. Her dream is to become a singer. But what will
you do when the song doesn’t want you Shin Hae Sung?
JB played by JB
He’s a cutie. Oh
well, I think his role is not so challenging for him because he acts very
natural. He has a good, rhythm and blues voice. He dances well. He’s like a
Neyo-Usher type. He’s stubborn. He does things his way. He seems to be cold at
times but his weakness is girl’s tears. Bwahahaha! (Evil laugh) Isn’t it cute?
He’s part of Eden – a boy duo. His dream is to become Korea’s superstar. When
he likes a thing, he’ll treasure it so much. He’ll treat it as part of his
life, maybe as his life. But nothing lasts forever, when the things you cherish
the most were taken away from you, how are you going to let it go JB?
Jin Yoo Jin played by Jinwoon
Rock spirit!
That’s his favourite line. Yes, he’s a lover of music – specifically rock
music. He turned his back from his parents due to an unfavourable childhood
memories. He was once a child star but he considered it as part of his history
and doesn’t want to reoccur. He doesn’t have any plan to be famous, not at all;
he just wants to play his kind of music. But what if the only way to compete
for your special someone’s heart is to be a Super Idol, will you grab it or
continue to live by your principle, Yoo Jin?
Si Woo played by Park Seo-Joon
OMG! I like him.
Seriously, I find him cute and hot? Lol! That’s the reason why I think he’s a
ladies’ man here. Yah, he’s a player. He takes life so easy but he is sweet. I
think that what makes players cool. They might treat everyone special but
doesn’t it feel good when someone makes you feel special? Uhm, yes. Lol! Oh Si
Woo, you can’t please anyone. What will you do when someone you consider
incompetent beats you on the heart of someone you truly like?
Nana played by Hyorin
She’s the singer
of HerShee and we can’t throw an argument on that. Oh God! She has a powerful
voice. Aside from that, she’s very pure at heart. She doesn’t have any greed.
For her, what matters is her voice and singing has been her life. But Nana,
what will happen to you if one day you woke up and you can’t sing anymore?
Director’s
Daughter Lee Seul played by Jung Yeon-Joo
She’s cold. At
first look, she looks like a person who’s born out of sadness. One question she
asked was, “What if the person that you really like keeps doing things that you
hate?” and I myself can’t help but think of the answer. She’s rebellious toward
her father but she adores him so much.
Unforgettable Moments
1. Kim
Soo Hyun’s cameo role which reminds me of Dream High 1. Yes, he was Song Sam
Dong – the world renowned singer.
2. IU’s
cameo role which reminds me of Dream High again and how cute Kim Pil Suk and
Jason’s love story was.
3. Suzy
Bae’s cameo role which reminds me of the brattish-but-kind-hearted Go Hye Mi.
She’s pretty, really pretty.
4. JB
and Hae Sung on church. This is one of the sweetest scenes I watched. Can you
imagine when your super-duper crush fell asleep on your lap? Not only that,
when you fell asleep on your super-duper crush’s shoulder? Then when you woke
up, he was singing a song for you? Oh my! I can’t imagine how I would feel.
Thinking about it gives me chills! Lol! Happy chills, though.
5. Director’s
daughter performing on stage and gave her father a balloon. Okay, so this scene
made me cry. I think I’m just weak on family tie scenarios. I had witnessed how
cold-hearted she became because of her hatred to her father but when she went
near her father and handed him the balloon during the performance, it moved me.
*tears*
Overall Verdict
Story – Very Good
Artists – Very Good
OST - Excellent
