In the regular class, Madam Ends-Justify-The-Means motivates her class with threats to drop them into the misfit class, and dangles the carrot that a strong performance at the midterm evaluations could put them on the idol fast-track.
While Hye-mi naps in class, Sam-dong hovers tentatively with a band-aid, about to apply it to the cut on her forehead. Adorably, he falls back nervously the moment she opens her eyes and stammers an excuse.
He finds his buddy In-sung preparing to launch a raw egg at Hye-mi from afar, and says he recognized his handwriting. In-sung argues that Jin-gook had also found Hye-mi insufferable, and should thank him for giving her what she deserves.
Kyung-jin impresses upon her class the importance of picking the right song in order to convey its emotion properly. Ah-jung whines that this task is too difficult, so Kyung-jin calls Oh-hyuk over and starts to flirt with him in front of the students. He takes it at face value and stammers that he likes another woman, and Kyung-jin flips her flirt mode off as quickly as she switched it on, having demonstrated the value of artful acting. She gives her class the assignment to act out song lyrics to get into the proper mood.
Hye-mi can pick up from watching Pil-sook that despite her own superior vocals, Pil-sook beats her in the emotion department. Hye-mi asks what Pil-sook thinks about as she sings, and gets back a simple answer: romance.
I actually don't think it was Baek Hee. I mean I could be wrong...but for some reason I believe it might be that other girl. The one that was getting all the attention in the beginning of episode 4...RIA or whatever her name is(the sister from Coffee Prince). There is a reason they had a little paparazzi-fest for her. I guess we will just have to find out when the episode airs.
I admit it...I was so so so soooooo wrong. But they made it seems so obvious that I thought it had to be some sort of trick...I thought why else would they have that other girl? I guess its to stir up trouble with the pil-sook and jason storyline.
Certainly is!!! Because I had no interest what so ever in watching this show... but after reading this episode's recap i checked out the episode and I am SOLD..So, I guess I will be watching and loving both My Princess and Dream High after all!
I have not caught up with this youth drama - I thought it might be too juvenile for my age but, hey, jb likes it so I read this recap (not saying jb and I are in same age group, just saying if jb likes it, it must be good).
Then I spotted that 2nd lead of Coffee House (whom I've rooted for to be the girl the lead-guy will fall for... but in vain). Anyway, she portrayed a very wholesome character there, so lovable with her quirkiness and here she is palying the villainess. If she succeeds, then that's what I'll call versatility.
Sam dong IS adorable. I know this probably won't happen but it won't stop me from dancing all crazy in front of my screen and praying to the Kdrama gods that the underdog will finally get the girl. Sam dong is so caring and it would be awesome if a drama finally showed that kinda guy getting the girl.....even though I love taecyeon to bits as well!!
I think I'm rooting for Sam-Dong, too. In this case, both of the boys have that supportive, protecting attitude toward her, which evens the playing field. Unfortunately, she's seen Jin Gook naked (which seems like a thing that only happens with leads- the awkward naked moments) AND she has little kid love backstory with him. Poor Sam Dong, he's doomed from the outset.
I won"t be upset when Jin-Gook gets the girl, as long as Sam-Dong gets a happy ending, too.
i gotta say, Dream High is stepping it up a few notches and when MP came out, i was no longer very interested in DH, but i think i'll go back to watching it now. Also, this main love triangle is gonna be a toughie for me to choose the guy who gets the girl
& i was really pleasantly surprised with hyemi in this episode. she really opened herself up more and showed more humane characteristics. (not that she hasn't before... but she's starting to look after more people other than herself).
Yeah I agree about the "hyemi & samdong vs. hyemi & jinguk" comment. Usually by now you can kinda guess who the lead guy is but with this show I'm like ahhh....
So I'm going by a point system according to which guy have done something sweet for her and so far its, this is not working cause it pretty much a tie = / (I am secretly hoping for a Hye Mi and Sam Dong relationship, he he he!!
I just hope that he does NOT do the Noble Idiot Syndrome thing)
The first drama that has me stumped as to the OTP (with Hye Mi). Sometimes, it make it seem as if it'll be Sam Dong. Then, it comes back with many more ways in which it makes Jin Gook & HM seem the OTP. Childhood bond, for one. Jin Gook in the birthday suit, heh heh. Happy birthdays all around, I say.
i think it's Baek-hee, might be the bitch who Baek-hee eliminated in the dance-off. I'm sure she doesn't know it yet that Baek-hee did it to her, so she's still following her blindly. just my opinion...
I am with you here. I think it wasn't Baekhee who was vandalizing Hye Mi's locker and dropped that pot. I think somebody else is taking advantage of Hye Mi and Baekhee's rivalry and Baekhee's weakness.
I was scared from end of epi 1 of what Baekhee will become. I don't want Baekhee to turn to a full evil second lead(I had enough of that) Plus, I love Eun Jung from coffee house and I don't want to stain my love for her. Baekhee has her own issues. She is just weak but she wants to prove that she will be able to achieve her dream. I will continue to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe that she didn't go too far as vandalizing and dropping that pot. I hope so, I really really hope I am right. Please writer, don't turn Baekhee that bad.
actually Baek Hee hasn't worn a watch...but the girl RIA from episode 4 is wearing a watch when they first introduce her. It's not the same color but she is wearing one. And I don't think Baek Hee has it in her to actually hurt anyone let alone her friend-turned-rival Hyemi in a serious manner (one that can send her to the hospital).
Javabeans I completely agree! I'm terribly torn between the two guys and hye mi!! The thing is tho hye mi and jin gook have there really cute moments and they have history, but sam dong is ALWAYS saving is butt! Lol. Argh.. I don't know who to root for! Ill be disappointed either way...
My heart is seriously cracking for Jin-gook here. Please, oh PLEASE let the promo posters be wrong, let it be Jin-gook with Hye-mi. I mean....Jin-gook, it's been like, a decade, and he's STILL all about her. For Sam-dong, it's a hit, the first pretty girl he's seen paying attention to him, maybe? But Jin-gook...this is the girl comforting him when he was afraid he'd be deserted, singing for him when no one else did, all of that...if he loses out. Geesh, Taec, break my heart, why don't you?
And I can just SEE him becoming the guy who gives it up. Jin-gook protects Hye-mi, but...she never knows it, half the time. She doesn't know how he confronts his friend, how he figures out she'll be targeted, etc. Meanwhile, Sam-dong rescues her and she ALWAYS knows when he's the one helping her...aww, gee. This love triangle is one where my heart is gonna be broken anyways.
Hye-mi is finally improving. Admittedly, before I was rooting for no girl (but Pil-sook, lol), but now it's all Hye-mi for me. At least she's really learning a bit, despite being absolutely horrible in the beginning. She even, in her own way, is trying to protect Pil-sook, admits her wrong-doings, and really tries now.
Baek-hee...I can't hate her. She's just going from one bad role model to another bad teacher. I mean, when her teacher basically tells her "Get rid of all those in your way, no matter what it takes" in so few words...yeah. She's obviously not exactly stable/confident in her own decisions and follows. But seriously, what she does? Just can't like her, either. (And dammit, no, don't take Jin-gook. If Hye-mi can't have him, I want him. lol.)
And all these boys...really, you guys ALL make me fall in love with you? T_T This is not good for my heart. Jin-gook, stop being noble, sacrificial, and just having these sweet moments. Sam-dong, stop being adorable and wonderfully protective and even cutely jealous. And Jason...in the very, very few moments you appear, stop being so amazing. (Being a Hottest just sucks right now, lol. I have to fall in love with their characters, too, huh?)
...in so few words, I could've said that this was the first episode I really kind of liked, haha. Only my urge to keep seeing the guys really pulled me through the first 4 (though even 4 was an improvement over the first 3). But Ep 5 had me going, "We're really getting somewhere now."
THIS is what I was waiting for. I've been on the fence for so long about whether or not to watch this drama. I kept waiting for that review that would say, "Yeah, it's totally worth a peek even if it might let you down in the end... but let's hope not."
I freakin' love this drama! Although it isn't unpredictable, it is ALWAYS leaving me wanting more! I don't think I have ever experienced that with the dramas we've had this past couple of years! I friggin love it!!
this reminds me of 2PM's Taecyeon (who plays Jin-Gook) and Wooyoung (who plays Jayson) doing a Genie/Tell Me Your Wish parody before with MC Mong and Shinee's Taemin and Key. LMAO it was so funny. Look: =-MVjHQI0zns
and speaking of SNSD parodies, here's the two of them dancing to Gee (with former leader jaebum): =YNkD6t6ifUE and Taecyeon (in orange skinny jeans) with various idols here: =mKNhpu1BvHA LOLOLOL Dream High is making me remember the old times when i still like 2PM haha
I love Samdong the most, but I'll wager Jingook and Hyemi are going to end up together since they have that whole fate thing going for them. It's kind of inevitable when you involve childhood loves like that.
...seriously, I think it REALLY wouldn't hurt, just this once, to have both boys get the one girl they want....you know. Just this once...(or you know, they could give the one who loses out to me....but yes. In the impossiblity of that, why can't they just share?)
