Dream High ending predictions

[alexandral]

Haven't seen any spoilers yet, so here is my honest prediction:

1. Sam Dong is K
2. Sam Dong and Hye Mi will be together, although not in the way of "wedding bells", but in the way "You are Beautiful" ended, where it was clear they will be together even if they are not in the same country or something like this.

Me? I suffered the classic syndrome of Kdrama Second Half with "Dream High", my interest diminished considerably in the later episodes and none of the actor performances did much for me, plus I became quite bored with Taecyon (the main reason I was interested in the drama originally) at the end. It is all probably the fault of "Forbrydelsen" (or "The Killing") , an amazingly intelligent Danish show I have become obsessed with recently. I am getting too old for teen shows. I am a completionist so I will have to finish "Dream High", but after the episode 11 "Dream High" gets 6/10 (a cute teenage drama with kpop stars) from me and I will probably never mention it again.

Just finished the last epi and..... SPOILERT (can't find me spoiler tags!)

That's exactly how it goes, LOL!

Yup, I'm too old for this kid stuff no doubt about it. It was fun as long (almost) as it lasted. I knew what I would be getting acting wise going in so I wasn't really bothered by it but you guys are right, the lack of proper acting chops really did start to show as the episodes piled up.

I think that part of the reason for your boredome with Taec was that when they started to shift the focus on SD as a romantic interest they stopped giving Taec anything to do. He sorta faded into the scenery. :) A better actor might have done something with it but he's just not very good yet. Maybe some day.

KSH.... sorry mate, you are a proper actor but Sam Dong as a character just did not work for me. Meh!

The last episode was actually fine as an ending. They pulled back from the (pretty much unnecessary) OTP stuff and concentrated more on the dreams and friendship and supporting one another. That's what I liked best in DH anyway.

Where did you find "Forbrydelsen"? Care to point me to the right direction? It sound interesting.

Hee! I am glad my prediction powers are holding. But honestly, I have only seen 11 eps properly but this is where it headed for.

Yes, I am getting too old for this.
I think you were right in suspecting a not-intended-initially change in story direction, it really felt a bit fishy. I wasn't too bothered at that point of time already, or I would have kicked up a storm.

Did Jason/Pil Suk get a good ending? I got bored with them too, but I still want to know. :D

I sent you a message about Forbrydelsen.

Re. Jason/Pil Suk.... yes, their ending was good and rather cute too. In fact the last epi gave us a rundown of the fates of all of the main 6, they all ended up where they belong, imho. Well, if you could suspend the belief that Sam Dong is the big star. Taec/JG in the end actually looked and felt much more the real deal, heh. The boy just has the thing I like to call 'stage presence', something that KSH lacks. He's a good actor but not an entertainer (as in idols, singers, dancers and the likes). You can be both of course but mostly that's not the case. Besides, the real 'presence' tends to be something you are born with.

I loved the way they ended with Pil Suk. I LOVED the fact that she put her weight on, it always bothered me that she had to lose her weight for a boy.

Taec/JG in the end actually looked and felt much more the real deal, heh.

I thought so too. He would have looked more believable in Sam Dong's role.
