does anyone think that some of the stills, especially the ones where they're posing and trying to be serious, look reallyreallyreallyreally unnatural? and super awkward. on the other hand though, the laughing ones look really cute and the "candid" ones like decent.

for the reasons you mentioned, the drama worries me.
but that won't stop me from tuning in for other reasons that i think will keep A LOT of people watching even if this drama does end up sucking hardcore: 1. i love 2PM; 2. miss A (suzy's idol group) is probably the hottest girl group to debut this year; 3. i love kim soo hyun; 4. IU is a cutie and is on her way (it would seem) to becoming korea's next little sister.

i think that a lot of people, including myself, have low-ish expectations for this drama and that's good since that means, this drama can either: 1. meet expectations and be bad or 2. surprise us with some good

If it's half as good as Glee, it will be popular.

i am only watching it for Kim soo hyun ....and hoping that his talent isnt underutilized.......still pissed his screen time in his first lead role is being shared with idol stars

not a fan of 2pm... they should have used seulong from 2am instead of taec ...but am a fan of suzy who looks so much like a taller jung so min

Well I don´t know, but doesn't it sound a little too much similar to a campus drama What Up?

I love 2PM so I hope this is a success at least for Taec and WooYoung. But there is that small evil part in me that hopes this will fail dramatically because I'm not a fan of chucking a whole bunch of idol singers together into a drama. If you want to be an actor work hard to be one. If this becomes a success then they'll be a major influx in idol dramas which means most probably the quality will go down. And I don't want that at all...

I don't know what to think about this star studded drama. To me it feels like "how many idols can u fit into one car" and how many of them will make it out alive?
To me this almost seems like Korea meets Glee , but glee is better.

what???? Bae Yong Joon is a mini-mogul?!!?? wahahahahahahahaha...don't make me laugh..please...are you really kidding me?! This man can feed the next 3 generations in his family...mini-mogul?! at least the man knows where to put his money! he dosen't have to fly to hollywood and dies to make it there...give this guy some credit..oh, and this drama...it might not be that bad.

Javabeans, there's also a new teaser out for Dream High: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elYObG_7yTI.
Maybe you could add that into this post? =)

the good thing ...

it's a high school drama

& teens will just love it

i knew the main cast as kpop but i'm not sure about the story & their acting

i will go for my princess

I think I will like this one, even if the actors aren't really talented lol The story looks good to me ^^

I get more nervous when I am bombarded with still pics of up and coming dramas.....it's like they are going for the hype rather than the story of the drama and the characters that the actors portray. I'm leery of this drama. I hope to be proven wrong but I am honestly gonna wait for your review before I check it out. Not really a fan of Taecyon. But IU seems interesting, since I have a soft spot for her. She's very sweet. But I have to know the story first of the first epi before I watch it.

egads! I dislike most of these idols and somehow someone came up with the idea of lumping them all into one drama. what even. -_-
Well, hope it goes well for them, but no thanks.

damn, i'm so excited for this drama now, mainly cus of kim soo-hyun (awesome acting n smokin), taecyeon (so cute), and eunjung (hope her acting has improved tho), and eager to see IU act too. I love high school dramas and hopefully the storyline and acting will be good. It's been a while since kdramas targetted towards a teen audience had substance, hope they can bring it so i can finally watch a drama i can squeal to LOL

Just lost all my interest knowing Eunjung is the second lead again!!!!!!! God she has been acting for some time her, give her a damn lead role. Instead some annoying 2nd lead. RRRRRRRRR

It's just so ANNOYING how beautiful they all are!!! Jeesh, can't the world give us any justice?! lol I'm equally excited to watch it though..

OMG!!! CANT WAITTTT!!<333333

What's with that perm??

If it wasn't for the adults and Kim So Hyun and Eunjung, I probably wouldn't watch this mostly because I hate it when idols that have ZERO experience get the main lead. Taecyeon at least took the 2nd lead in CS and sorta impressed me for an absolute newbie, and Eunjung had acting experience prior to her 2nd lead role in Coffee House where I personally liked her character in CH more than the main lead. If I like the other actors portrayals and characters I may follow this regardless of Suzy's acting but otherwise her acting will be the make or break for me in this drama. I like Suzy as a Miss A member so I am not an anti or anything its just that this drama already has JYP nepotism all over it so I hope the acting is up to par. I really wish they either had an experienced actress that is lesser known or have Eunjung played the lead since at least she has experience and has proven that she can act. I adore IU and while I think she should focus on singing I think if she is going to do acting, taking a supporting/side character like this is the way to start, same for Wooyoung.

Honestly I will check this out but I am not lying when I say I am looking forward to "What's Up" about 100x more than this one .

I too am a sucker for High School orientated dramas!
Still look interesting. Can't wait, so is this the one that will replace MMM?

Kim Hyun Joong did not sneak in there ...watch what you are writing .He is doing a special cameo role .Cameo roles are given to important people .

I have a feeling this is going to be a trainwreck but I'm interested at the the same time. Oi.

I have a feeling that I'll end up hating Suzy's character. NOBODY'S RUDE TO MY KIM SOO-HYUN D:<

suzy. 8/

omo it looks intersting..&filled to the core w. IDOLS..man~

What I'm honestly worried about is, the drama might end up really bad but would be still gobbled up by fans offline and online. Because if that happened, What's Up might suffer some "second-rate" tag consequences, and it's gonna be hard if the drama would be better than this, plot-wise and acting-wise. I honestly think the latter is better based from that awesome trailer they released some time ago. This one is okay, and I hope it delivers well. So that I wouldn't feel that bad when it becomes a bigger hit than What's Up.

lol pretty shallow reason I guess, but I've never really gotten excited by this nor could I take it as a serious musical, high school themed drama compared to What's Up. That one was just too good, the trailer I mean, and I am looking forward on how it would unfold. This one's a hot cast no doubt but...yeah I'm more looking forward with What's Up...and pretty much Goo Hye Sun's the Musical, if we are about dramas that have musical element on it.

Dream high could either be big as BoF, or as an online hit like You're Beautiful or Playful Kiss.

LOL. Considering Taec actually speaks fluent English, living in Boston for a while, I'd have pegged him for the "American Boy" role...but I'm guessing Wooyoung's role is smaller than Taec's role, so they're going with the whole, "...well, at least Taecyeon has acted in a drama before?" I'd say Taec's role is probably a whole lot bigger.

That said...I can't help but having my hopes WAY up for this drama. lol. But then again, it's also an idol-based drama, so it's way up from that...so that pretty much hits the "mediocre" mark. So hopefully, I won't be disappointed...much...?

Ah. Well. At least there are the visuals...

PIC SPAM!!!

Even though I'm a K-Pop fan, I still don't know if I'm to follow this drama, since the only thing I'm watching out for is:
*Taecyeon (jimseung baby~!; I so loved him in Cinderella Sister even if he's Lee Jeong-jae/slash/James Marsden-from-the-start)
*Jo Sumi (who's gonna cameo, performing Lakme's Flower Song)
*Wooyoung (on a half-hearted take, since I never came to like him that much, and even the fandom of KhunYoung)
*Nichkhun (who's also cameo-ing, if my lacklustre memory serves me right or has gotten it all confused with his "All My Love" stint...)

I don't really like the idea of suzy being the main character , I'm not too sure I will like her character in the drama and I have a feeling she can't act . But I'm watching it for IU and soo Hyun <3

Looks like a good drama. I think this is something like Beethoven Virus, an inspirational drama... my next marathon project... U

Yon Sama! Hyunnie!!! Okay. Just had to do that.
