A little bit about myself of writing this review:

> Dream High was my first KDrama and Dream High 2 my second.

> I mainly watch Anime but enjoy Dramas as well.

With that in mind, here's my personal review of Dream High 2 (With NO SPOILERS).

Many people have said to NOT compare the first season with this. However, it's rather silly because this is a SEQUEL and you probably have watched Dream High and wondering if you should watch this one.

Story - With a similar plot to Dream High, I was really hoping for an improvement in order to make up for repetitive themes. It failed to meet my expectations and overall was fairly dull. "A very slow start and pick up speed later on but never reaches a sprint" would be a suitable metaphor to describe the pace.

Acting/Cast - I have only recently starting engrossing myself within the Korean culture but even I have heard of "T-ara", "Ailee" and "Sistar". If you're fans of the actors themselves then I'm sure that you'll tend to enjoy the Dream High 2 more than the usual viewers. In terms of acting, it was very cheesy and inferior compared to Dream High. However, this seemed to fit the theme of this series fairly well.

Music - I was really pleased with the Music. In-fact, I would say that this is the area that Dream High 2 succeeded the most. There were a variety of songs from popular KPop songs to even a few English ones. This blended with the feel of the show itself really well and I greatly enjoyed the music.

Rewatch value - There plenty of moments that made me go "Daebak" with a huge grin on my face; I would love to see those moments again. However, I wouldn't want to watch the whole series again because of the problems with the Plot.

Overall - The overall feel of this show tends to be a lighter, less serious and doesn't take itself as seriously compared to it's predecessor. Between surprise Cameos (which I'm a huge fan of btw) and great songs, Dream High 2 was been a good experience for me.

That's all this was... "Good".

If you still decide to watch this, I highly recommend that you watch Dream High first. Afterwards, keep your expectations at a reasonable level because Dream High 2 is not the same as it's older, better and more preferable brother.


P.S This was my first Drama review :)
