When I first started watching Dream High 2, I was unsure if I was going to like it, because I didn't like the storyline about already famous stars becoming even more famous. After I watched the first few episodes though, I started to really like Dream High 2, even more so than Dream High. I felt that the story was heading in the right direction, but somewhere along the way I feel that Dream High 2 lost it's gusto. By the middle, the story seemed a bit too rushed. There are still things that are left unclear, and really it seems that the writers just gave up. It fell into a plain, boring pattern. But! I did, however, love the ending. Something about Dream High and Dream High 2's endings really get to me. The ending is realistic, it's not some super, happy, everyone becomes a superstar sort of ending, it's realistic in the sense that it makes it obvious that not everyone can achieve their dreams. I really liked how it ended with the greatest thing each and every character got out of their experience; friendship. I actually liked the cast. I know, I know, Idols. They aren't the greatest of actors, but I really feel like they did a great job! The only two characters I really couldn't stand were JB, and HaeSung. The acting was forced, and I didn't see much chemistry, but I have to be a little nice, since it was JB's first drama, and all. The one I felt did the best was JinWoon. Already a fan of 2AM. It was great to see him act, and I loved his character the most, and I felt that out of all the Idols, he did the absolute best.The music was ok, but there was a lot more music in Dream High. This one focused more on dancing, which I didn't like. I wish they had more music, and more of them all singing together, instead of all the individual performances. I would rewatch this...maybe? It was a good drama, and I did enjoy watching it, but overall, I think that it can't compare to Dream High. I just hope if they decide to make a Dream High 3, the writers can seriously step up their game, because they almost ruined a story that seemed to be going somewhere.
