Dream Concert Voice Crack

[Martta]

1When he scratched his ass and than shook hands with Yon-sama with said hand

2) Robo-teach and his entrance with the Terminator theme song playing in the background

3) His failed attempts at trying to name the group was either Albatross or R2D2 and his motions to accompany the names

4) His happy moment for being the songwriter for the group's title track with the Star War's theme song in the background

5) How easily he was pleased when Hye-mi said he could put on a school uniform and be mistaken for a student

6) When he got mad at the Mob-Boss-turned-Music-Company-President and said that you don't sing with your face (oh, and the sad reality that JYP doesn't have much in the looks department X,( ....)

7) How he is soooo confident about his dancing skills and singing

8) AND SO MUCH MORE!

Jin-man was one of my favorites. I can't believe JYP had never acted before, because he knocked this role out of the park. I'll miss him dearly. And, omg, the "too legit to quit" dance in the special was the best three minutes of my life. LOL.

DH's style is very different from many K-dramas, yet for some reason, it did better in keeping you hooked for every episode in comparison to even big budget dramas (*cough*Athena*cough*). Surprise, surprise?

Totally agree with you. Dream High was a great surprise and a gem. Not many dramas nowadays focuses on many of the actors' growth. I loved the character transformations that resulted by the end of the series.

i like this drama how it evolved and how things turn out to be .... it like you know what will happen but not quite what you expect and that the charm of it , i may be not be totally inlove with it but liking it better than the others ....

I haven't seen the whole concert thingy yet, but didn't fail to watch the JYP & Co. dance number :D I do remember those high tops, Hammer pants and sky-high bangs (I guess I should be glad I only had one of the three).

If there's going to be a Season 2, I'd like for it to center on a new generation (although the teachers are more than welcome to stay on), with maybe just occasional references to the original kids. You're right about the drama ending just as it should, with lots of flexibility between the debut and the epilogue for fans to use their imaginations :)

Me too! I LOVED that Pilsook got fat again. It's just like the scene where she was telling Jason that she was happy with herself "back then." It's sending a message that you don't have to be skinny to be happy or successful. Loved it =]

I loved that too. She became big but not quite as big as in the beginning. She looked truly content.

Isn't this what life is about - being comfortable in your own skin?

Also enjoyed the fact that our 3 heroines looked healthy - an important impact for thinness-obsessed girls in Korea and everywhere.

p.s. I almost skipped this drama because of teenage overload (I was 15, 15 years ago) but I skimmed through the first 4 eps and became addicted to Crack High.

GirlFriday is just the biggest crack enabler!

Didn't originally intend to watch this drama at all - but after reading the second recap (go gf!) was pulled into the glorious story and.... well.... the joy of watching glorious "noona-slayer" Kim Soo-hyun.

Basically to get someone's Korean age you take their actual age, add a year (this is to represent the "year" the person spent as a fetus) and then add another year if it's past the New Year but before their birthday (everyone turns a year older on the New Year, so that everyone born in a certain year is always the same age).

It's kind of confusing, I think the "everyone gets a year older at the same time" thing is so you can always tell whether someone was born in the same year as you by asking their age (and you need to know that to know how to address them).

The ending to Dream High reminded me of the ending to Hana Yori Dango Season 1. Where Makino and Domyoji had to be seperated, and Domyoji gave Makino the pendant. Dang it. Dream High reminds me of Hana Yori Dango more then the Korean Boys Over Flowers.

I cried for at least fifteen minutes after the finale. I was happy that Sam-dong got his fame (hence, tears) but I was also fairly heartbroken at the thought of his loneliness (hence more tears), and that was the biggest issue I had with the finale. Still, it's a just a small qualm, since it was very realistic and I do appreciate that.

Man, how much do I love that this is the first drama in ages where the phrase "Noble Idiot" hasn't been uttered not even once (from what I can remember)? This is real-life drama at its finest, at least as far as the ending message goes, maybe specific situations aside. I loved how Pil-sook didn't stay super skinny, it just made me love her (and the writers) even more.

I know I said I was all for Baek-hee being K, but how it turned out makes much more sense, however bittersweet it may be. You'd probably think Baek-hee would be a lot happier as K though, wouldn't you?

It's sad... but realistic. I was thinking about if the ending catered to fanservice; I would have enjoyed it, but it would not have made as much of an impact as it did. (This is my biggest gripe with Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Love the drama, but I hated how the ending all dealt with the CUTE fanservice at the expense of rationality and reality.)

And "Only Hope" kills me now. I swear, this song fits the SD-HM storyline better than it did the Walk to Remember story. Although my gripe is with Suzy's lackluster/expressionless performance of the song...

for me i absolutely agree, i would have been happy if they gave Hye Mi and Sam Dong the ultimate happy ending together, but it was realistic, bittersweet and very satisfying that they gave them both their dreams, but have them on separate paths... but the ending off with the kiss was enough to keep me happy.

Good point, remembering the SKKS finale only helps me to appreciate DH even more. >I think Baek-hee would have been too laden with the guilt of all her past wrongdoings to reach such heights of fame, and, in a way, leaving her friends behind. Also, it would have been unrealistic for her to reach such heights considering all the scandals she was involved in.

On top of that, I believe her character needed to learn that success is not always about being no. 1. Compared to her other groupmates, you could say she was the 'least successful', becoming a Kirin teacher. But the fact is, she had her time in the spotlight pursuing her dream of becoming a singer. And now, as a teacher, she is happy with what she is doing. That's all that matters in the end.

My favorite performances were definitely "Somebody's Dream", "Dreaming", "Someday", and "Goose's Dream".

The "Dream High" performance (which I was looking forward to so much... :/) was kind of disappointing...though KSH was real good as always in it. :D

Yay! Usually the final episodes have your opinion and girlfridays opinion. So in My Princess and yesterday, I was wondering what were your final toughts, and here they are! Not that i dont like girlfridays opinions, because I do, but i like yours too.

Ok, I agree. Hahaha. I dont have much to say. I agree with you. For me, Suzy did a good job in episode 16 when she is saying goodbye to Sam-dong. Kim Soo Hyun would had completely overshadowed her (sorry if it has bad grammar), but she managed to be in the same level. Hm, I cant complain much. I love her non expression face and character.

yay! I'm surprised you recapped a special - don't think that has happened before on this blog, has it?

I think Suzy got by with her own charms - she might just have "it"; that's why she was (arguably) the most visible out of Miss A, even though the other 3 members are fierce and charismatic. But yeah, I can see how it could have been at another level with an actress like Park Bo Kyung. I still love her interpretation of Hyemi, however, and am only bothered by Taec's overcalculated acting. Sigh. He's like...Song Seung Hun in the making, from the good looks to the stiff acting...

I'm happy with the ending. It's Dream High, after all, not Love High (OH THAT DREADFUL MV FROM GROUP K!). It reminds me of a jdorama, "Buzzer Beat", where the main couple also parted to support each other's dream, but at the end, the girl ditched her dream to come back, and they kissed passionately. I was happy for them, and happy as a viewer, but then was left with disappointment. The whole point of the series was about this couple who respected and supported each other's seemingly impossible dream, and that was why they fell in love. Now she just ditched her dream like that and came back? o_O Only after a year? If Samdong won 10 Grammies and came back after, say, 10 years, and found Hyemi, who was well-established not unlike Gummy or Lee Sooyoung, and then proposed dating, I wouldn't have a problem with that. heck, even Jang Dong Gun took 8 years to be able to get married to Go So Young. Celebs just have to live differently...

It was also appropriate that they chose their dreams - they were so young then. If 8 years later, they dated someone else, I wouldn't be surprised. Just the fact that they still think about each other in 2018 is comforting enough for a Sammi shipper like me ^^

As for Suzy, I'm happy with her. I hope she'll improve more and more after this. And I'm glad she was with Kim Soo-hyun in the ending scene emotionally, etc. She wasn't as bad (or maybe slightly better) as Eun-jung in her debut drama Coffee House.

Suzy reminds me of YEH so much sometimes...especially in some angles. She does have it. And for a hardworking 1994-er, she just might ;)

I actually think eun jung's acting in coffee house was better than suzy's in DH = i think why eunjung seemed to be not as good was because she was in a cast full of experienced and very good actors (kang ji hwan anyone? ;) ) so thats probably why >
