Dream High: Episode 4
by | January 11, 2011 | 226 Comments
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. But…it’s just so earnest, and cute, and strangely suspenseful. I honestly wasn’t expecting this drama to get this good... More »

Dream High: Episode 3
by | January 10, 2011 | 110 Comments
You know, this show may be kind of predictable, but I’m liking it so far, with the cute characters and underdog setup that you know is manufactured for you to pull for certain characters but can’t help falling for every time. At least that’s how it is for me. And despite my gloating to girlfriday... More »

Kim Soo-hyun cleans up for Dream High
by | January 7, 2011 | 51 Comments
In the little we’ve seen of Kim Soo-hyun in the new youth drama Dream High, all we’ve seen is his rural bumpkin character dressed up curiously like a homeless man — one lit up by Kim’s boyish charm, but a homeless man nonetheless. But thanks be, we’ll get to see him sporting a more kempt... More »

Dream High: Episode 2

So far, I like. It’s not So You Think You Can Dance, the drama version, (and someone please get on that, stat) but it shows promise to become something like it, so I like what I’ve seen thus far. 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
by | January 3, 2011 | 151 Comments
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 »

There are lots of awards handed out, for sure, but at least SBS has some strong shows this year, with great performances all around in the competition. Go Hyun-jung stacks up another Daesang for her turn as the first Korean female president in Daemul, which if I’m to go based on all the parodies, involved... More »

Lots and lots of Dream High stills
by | December 23, 2010 | 108 Comments
So here’s a whole mess of stills from the upcoming KBS drama Dream High, which is probably most known because it’s the collaboration of actor-mini-mogul Bae Yong-joon and kpop producer/svengali Park Jin-young, and stars lots of young idol stars. It’s for those three reasons that I’ve been pretty leery of the drama, not because I... More »

Kim Soo-hyun signs on as Dream High’s lead
by | October 26, 2010 | 61 Comments
Kim Soo-hyun is the first cast member to be confirmed for KBS’s upcoming Dream High, and although I wasn’t interested at all in Yonsama’s pet project, with such a talented rising young actor attached, it has shot up considerably on my radar. Set in an arts high school and centering around students with musical and... More »

Thank you, Kim Soo-hyun, for growing into such a fine young man, and I do mean fine in all possible ways one can mean it. Now he’s gone and bared his washboard abs for us, as featured in this Vogue Girl photo spread that was shot in New York. The concept of the shoot has... More »
