K-drama Feels:
  • The concept of this drama: teenagers striving for their dreams. The one thing I liked about Dream High is the character development.
  • Show was so good overall and the focus of this drama was not romance, but pursuing your dreams, working hard and never giving up.
  • The whole cast did a good job.
  • The romance between the two teachers made me laugh so much.
  • Jason and Pil-suk are so adorable together.
  • Kim Soo Hyun as Song Sam Dong was simply outstanding and I cannot explain how amazing he is. I have watched it because of him, he was great.
  • The music is great and works into the plot perfectly. My faves : Dream High Theme Song, Dreaming by Kim Soo Hyun and Someday by IU.
  • Overall, the drama is worth to watch.

 

My Rating – 8.5/10 (I had a nice time watching this drama – it was funny and sometimes sad, but almost all the time entertaining.)
