I think most of you guys will now know the Korean Drama "Dream High" that you can watch at 9:55 PM every Monday and Tuesday, featuring many of the popular celebrities in Korea. These people include i-dols such as Woo-Young and Taec-Yeon of 2PM, Su-Ji of Miss A, IU, and Park Jin-Young of JYP, Bae Yong-joon (director), and Soo-Hyun Kim.
Just by looking at the actors and actresses, some people may already be wondering "These Korean I-dols don't even have acting experience for an official drama like this" or "Is this drama just to catch popularity among teenagers and young adults?". Well, I have to admit, I have thought of that too in the beginning. But now I think about it, reading more comments and articles of "Dream High", the purpose of these featuring was to make this whole drama more realistic.
The story of "Dream High" is set in the world of the competition between High School teenagers in becoming musicians/dancers/i-dols. Kirin Arts High School is where all these students end up together after their personal conflicts, and it is also concluded that Bae Yong-Joon (director, producer of "Dream High") purposely used these celebrities for these parts since they share similarities in real life and for the character, which will make the drama more realistic.
Fortunately, as the drama "Dream High" gradually began to reach its 4th to 6th episode, many viewers started to accept these immature cast, and admitted their growing skills in performing. Also, although very unexpected and surprising, "Dream High" won over the other drama "Athena" that is shown on the same day, same time.
WHOOT!
