Dream High: Episode 4
Hello, new crack! I’m totally loving this drama right now, and I don’t even know if it’s at all logical, because it’s very by-the-book, in terms of what we expect will happen in an underdog-success story.

It’s actually got a healthy dose of drama-comedy-song-and-dance, though I’d like a little more of the... More »

Dream High: Episode 1
An uneven beginning, but one that got progressively better as the hour advanced. (To be honest, I was feeling that dull sense of bored disappointment halfway through, but at the 45-minute mark things picked up, and the last five minutes had my curiosity stirred and hopes rising. Things take an interesting turn.) I’m not ready... More »
