KBS2 Monday & Tuesday 9:55 p.m.
KBS drama “Dream High” takes off at seven years from now, with singer “K,” a graduate of Kirin Art School, appearing at the Grammy Awards ceremony. Chung Ha-myung (Bae Yong-joon), the director of Kirin High, reminisces on how all he did was strike a “break shot” (the first shot in billiards that scatters the balls). The problem with the first episode of “Dream High” was in those balls. The way Ko Hye-mi (played by Bae Suzy), the so-called genius in vocal music, jeers at popular culture went beyond arrogance to make it seem forced and the scene where Jin-guk (Ok Taecyeon) easily fights off the men who are after Hye-mi, several loan sharks including their boss (Ahn Gil-gang) who are after her father, or the overuse of slow motion was cliche enough to be seen in a scene of an online comic book. The drama even has Hye-mi, who dreamt of going to Julliard, change her mind to take audition in Kirin High which she so looked down on so much, all because of the 'benevolent' loan shark who offers to make Hye-mi as a star so that she would be able to pay off her father’s debt later. Talk about pushing the story! Baek-hee's (Ham Eun-jung) character, who is an ardent follower of Hye-mi and auditions for Kirin High with her, insists to judges that they should fail both of them if they plan on failing only one of them, but this too seems to be too weak to convince viewers of why she later transforms.
