Now, he is a troubled student dreaming of becoming a rock star. He attempts to cure his pain caused by his parent’s divorce through music."


REVIEW:
Bleh.  If you don't understand my slang I'm basically saying that it's monotone.  The thought of a sequel never really excited me.  Dream High was fun, but sequels are rarely entertaining.  Dream High 2 is no exception in that it was boring compared to the first.  As I've said time and time again, most sequels don't do well because you end up comparing the sequel to the original.  If it doesn't go above and beyond the first, it seems like it's a pointless story.

REVIEW:
I did not watch this because I was interested in the plot, but rather because of the rabid fangirls that are my friends that raved about how wonderful the drama was.  Although I did enjoy it, there wasn't much to be desired when it came to this drama.  Melodrama just isn't something I'm interested in.  The biggest problem, though, was that the first few episodes were boring.  Truthfully, I would have preferred to see their parents story in flashbacks or something instead of the boring few episodes that really had no relation to the plot other than the fact that their parents used to be in love.  Although I fast forwarded part of the last episode due to sheer boredom, I doubt that I missed anything important.  All in all, it was an okay drama if you are bored.  However, I personally would skip the first four episodes if I had to re-watch it.

REVIEW:
So, I'm just going to come out and say it.  I don't think this drama was good enough to receive a review.  The acting was so-so and the script wasn't much better.  Do yourself a favor and don't watch this unless you are going to kill yourself out of boredom.  I mean, it's a good time waster, but it's definitely not a drama someone would watch over and over again.

REVIEW:
When I started this drama, I was hooked from the start.  When I learned that it was a total of 163 episodes, I just about fainted.  Seriously?  This is such a long drama.  I mean, don't misunderstand me, it's just a really long commitment.  I can't remember everything about it because I had a few years of pause on this drama, due to the broken videos that were never fixed until recently, but I do remember it was very good.  Although I wouldn't recommend this for people who have no patience, I would have to say that this is a great drama.
