imma gonna watch this because of Okura Tadayoshi-kun. I've recently became a fan of him, since I watched his latest dorama, otenki onee-san. gotta look forward for this drama :)
I agree with your opinion , especially dream high 2. The fact that it was a sequel to the series dream high, it should be expected to be somehow connected to it. You know, like series that has many seasons, they ALWAYS, put some connections between the seasons (GOKUSEN/LIAR GAME). The connections will what make a season 2 get a bigger impact in the story. I watched dream high 2 as soon as I finished dream high, and I was expecting to have the same teacher nourishing and polishing his students to become idols, and yet the story was totally different. It is more focused on friendship. This just frustrates me, Having a drama bearing the same title to its predecessor and turns out totally unrelated to it, it just doesn't make sense. (well, in my opinion.)
Anywayss.. waiting for ep 17-18 to be subbed! :)
