    I'm not going to sugarcoat: I was a HUGE fan of DH1, so I went into this with high hopes. The first 6 episodes were a bit of a chore to get through at times (mostly due to spotty writing & varying acting levels) BUT once I got to episode 7 the show majorly improved until the end! Once DH2 dropped the attempts at sitcom humor & started focusing on establishing characters, it was like watching two different shows. I began to care for each individual and found myself laughing, frustrated, & tearing up more often than not [it's not a good drama if I don't yell at my screen or cry AT LEAST once]. I've read a lot of reviews where people understandably but unfairly read more

    I was trying to wait until the season had finished before writing a review but I don't think I can wait any longer >.<

    I'm going to start by saying that I didn't hate this drama. In many ways it was really good.... however..... compared to season 1, Dream High 2 is a little disappointing.

    I like how the plot this time round is completely different, I liked that there was a new cast of actors to play with and that the writers gave us an entirely new story of the problems idols face once they've 'made it' rather than more students trying to achieve their dreams of becoming idols. I also like that the couple pairings could go either way, this drama has kept me

    Im on the final episode and I must say this is good. Took me some time to finish but now I see this is better than I thought. The first one was great, DH2 was good. Lets stop comparing and move on.

    So I really did not like this... I guess since I hold DH1 in such high esteem I had high hopes for this drama and imo it kind of fizzled :'( I really wanted to like it, but I just couldn't.

    Quite liked it, everyone keeps comparing DH1 and this but is there anything which the second season was better. The stories were different but u could see a bit of comparison in the stories more like a lot of things were similar really liked it
  • SOLvip Nov 22, 2012
    Not the biggest fan of both the Dream High dramas, but im liking the 2nd one more. Even though the acting in both is a bit lackluster and the story lines both fall short for me.... I guess I just like the more funnier scenes and music in DH2. Not going to lie, I did a lot of skipping in the first one. DH1 focused more on the acting and dramatic scenes, but some of the actors themselves were a bit dull with their facial expressions at times. DH2 seems more "livelier" for me to watch at the moment.
  • mszither Nov 15, 2012
    If it is compared to the Season 1, this can be considered as a total fail, with entangled clueless love triangles, stiff act (excluding Jinwoon his acting is pretty convincing) and numb storyline. It is a total fail. I miss Suzy T__T

    I'm only on episode 3 so I truly can't say much, but I really do like it more than the first season. I don't even know why.
    Am I going to get rotten tomatoes thrown at me for that?...

  • HeyitsEst Nov 14, 2012
    I like it.
    Kang Sora's character definitely takes a LOT of patience to get used to imo, but if you can get past that bit of annoyance, the drama as a whole really isn't that bad. Also, Jung Jinwoon is awesome! Love him <3
    DH2 is a beast of its own, so if you watch it, you're going to have to shut out any thoughts of DH1 to respect it :)
    It really is good; I'd give it a 7-8 tbh

    I compared and then I didn't
    But I felt something missing
    and something is not right
    I didn't like the story, the story was so long
    I give it like 5 or less :(

    Here is what I think the problem is, everyone thought Dream High 2 is a continuation of Dream High 1 wit hthe same cast, this gave everyone expectations, it turned out Dream High 2 was a complete different story with a different cast, the audience kept comparing the 1st and 2nd one instead of thinking of them as 2 different dramas. I had this problem at first too, but then I decided to not compare, I would give Dream High 1 an overall 9 or 10 and Dream High 2 an overall 8 or 9

    Well, the cast was quite nice, and with Dream High 1 they had the potential to develop a great plot (even without using the same caracters) but, in my opinion, it's completely failed. Past episode 2 it becomes repetitive and boring, and as said by someone, if you make a drama about teenagers in an artistic school, maybe it would be nice to actually show them struggling to enter the artistic world (as in DH1). Romance is nice, but romance isn't everything --'... Really disapointing, I dropped after Ep8 I think.
