One of those shows that make you feel a void just because they ended.

Just finished rewatching it and I was afraid that I might give it a lower rating since many years have passed. Glad to say that I am pleasantly surprised to give a well deserved 10.

Gonna say that rewatching it, now that I'm (surprinsingly) more mature, I appreciate it even more. Understanding more aspects of it, seeing things that I missed the first time and appreciating overall the small things that today, even though some might feel a little awkward, they were what made this show great.

The title says it all. For those that are dreamer or at least want to dream, watch it.

You can watch and rewatch it at certain points in life. Not gonna regret it

This was really interesting to watch. You get introduced to 6 main characters, completely different from each other with their own personal baggage. It was interesting to watch how they grow and change. I really enjoyed the music and their performances. The drama has many hilarious moments and touching scenes. The ending can be a bit disappointing but doesn't make you regret watching the whole thing.

STORY - This was my first drama so obviously the story was very original for me. I love all the characters and the idea of a performing arts school. Each person has their struggles and their goals, you can always identify with someone, cheer someone on or complain about someone that just won't get the hint yet. The writers did a wonderful job with keeping the story going, nothing gets stale or lags. I was not completely satisfied with the ending but it was not the worst ending I have experienced. I was wonderfully surprised with this drama.
ACTING - I honestly had no idea just how many idols were in this show when I first began watching (dumb I know, but I wasn't really into kpop yet.). The acting was very nice, well suited for each person and the relationships portrayed were very realistic. Each character has moments that are good and bad and the audience gets pulled right along for the ride. The acting isn't the best, of course, but it is a lot better than some things I have seen. I was happy with it, and I fell in love with Kim Soo Hyun of course. But who wouldn't??? Jason and Pil Suk. favorite characters forever; no matter what happens.
MUSIC - The music. This was my first drama, so it was my first show to download songs from and it was the catalyst for my liking kpop and my drama addiction. Music drama have become one of my favorite types and I think this show is the reason. I didn't like all of the music, and the opening theme can get tiring after a bit, but a liked a majority of it. The sound effects and placement of music within the episodes were fairly well done as well, without too many distractions.
REWATCH - This is a show that has a lot of rewatch value, but for me it is not enough to watch it all the way through a second time. I like flipping through and watching key scenes - especially the music scenes. I know a lot of my friends have watched it multiple times all the way through though.
OVERALL - 8.5! The show was pretty good, the cinematography and effects weren't mind shattering but well placed considering the type of drama. The music was really great. the ending wasn't as great as expected but pretty okay. The acting was well suited as well. I think it was a great first drama experience and I really like it. Lol I have a soft spot for it.

This review may contain spoilers
“Dream High” is a school musical drama that follows a group of people who love music and want to express it. The main character is Hye Mi, a spoiled rich girl who thinks she’s above everyone else, but gets a reality check when her father loses all of his money and suddenly Hye Mi doesn’t even have a place to live. At school, Hye Mi finds her true love for music and makes real friends.

The romance between Hye Mi and Jin Gook didn’t grab me, but it was totally different with Sam Dong, they were literally the perfect couple. That’s why I think they needed to be shown together, it was the only mistake the drama made.

The idea behind this drama is amazing, it was the first drama to focused on music itself. They cast idols who had basically never acted before and it just worked. This drama forged the careers of Suzy, IU, Kim Soo Hyun, Ok Taec Yeon and Ham Eun Jung, after which they became actors and still are to this day.

The songs are beautiful, "Dream High" is really addictive and there are also some popular songs like "Genie" and "Sunset Glow", but the most impressive one is "Only Hope", not only because it is the last song, but because it shows Hye Mi's feelings for Sam Dong.

"Dream High" is a very good drama, if you like music and a classic school romance story, this is the perfect choice.

Drama del genere commedia-musicale che ripercorre un po’ lo schema della serie “Saranno famosi”, ottimi interpreti i giovanissimi attori che dimostrano notevoli capacità anche nella danza e nel canto. Buona la sceneggiatura che racconta la storia di questi ragazzi che si muovono nell’ambito scolastico come in un micro-cosmo che contiene tutti i pregi e difetti della vita reale e fra gioie e dolori, fra conquiste e sconfitte, senza mai smettere di sperare, crescono e migliorano.
I complimenti vanno anche alla scelta delle canzoni, delle basi musicali e delle coreografie che supportano al meglio e sottolineano i momenti cruciali dell’intera vicenda in modo appropriato e piacevole.
Mettendo a paragone saranno famosi con dream high, quest’ultimo lo batte di gran lunga, è stato annunciato come primo drama prodotto in italia sul canale Super del digitale terrestre ahhaha aimè con i doppiaggi in italiano ma con le voci originali quando cantano
Il mio preferito? Song Sam Dong è un cantante e compositore notevole; un diamante grezzo nell’aspetto e nei modi da campagnolo, con un carattere dolce e sensibile, sempre pronto ad aiutare gli altri. Per conquistare Hye Mi, di cui si innamora perdutamente da subito, è disposto a trasformarsi e a diventare un artista di spicco, pur di dimostrarle di essere degno di starle accanto.
Consigliato assolutamente con le voci originali ovviamente per noi dramiste

JOYA MUSICAL, ELENCO DE PRIMERA

Es un kdrama musical, así que el 100% de la historia se basa a través de la música, algo de lo cual me encanta.

Su OST principal Love High o Dream High, es bello.

La historia es fácil, 6 estudiantes que luchan con el sueño de convertirse en famosos intérpretes de la música, quizás con diferentes propósitos pero con el camino en la música que es algo que les apasiona.

La rivalidad de dos mejores amigas porque se siente traicionada, la falta de autoestima de una y como unos simples gestos nos hacen ganar el valor para hacernos valer por nosotras mismas.

Es un kdrama bello, su OST es una joya musical y no faltaba más después de todo es un kdrama musical, aunque si meten canciones alejadas del kdrama y meten canciones del momento lo cual también va muy bien con el ambiente del kdrama.

OST Favoritos:

Dream High Cast - Dream High
IU - Someday
Kim Soo Hyun - Dreaming
Sunye (Wonder Girls) - Maybe
Changmin, Jinwoon (2AM) - Can't I love you
Junsu (2PM) & Lim Jeong Hee - Don't Go
San E & Sohyang (POS) - A part of this dream
