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.

I agree with your predictions, I really hope that it turns out that way.

Wait, do you mean you were rooting for JG or SD?

[intermezzo]

As I told you in my LJ, I really have no idea who's gonna end up with whom.

At the beginning I was rooting for HM/JG, but...IDK anymore.

Re: actors. I wonder what everybody else expected from the acting in this drama? I'm not asking you, but, you know, I never thought I was going to see good acting on it. What with almost all the "actors" being young and NOT actors in the first place. Like, with Taecyon. I liked him in Cinderalla's Unni because his character was awesome (then again, I think the child who played his younger version was so adorable and when I started liking him, I by default started liking Taecyon's version as well) and he did a decent job with it. On DH, I knew that he wasn't going to be just as good because he was surrounded by, well, not actors so there was no one to give him tips or, idk, "inspire" him or something, which is one of the main problems of this drama, imho. Since they're not actors and they can't act, they can only rely on their characters and see if ppl connect to them instead. Take Pil-sook/Jason. Watch them separately and you want to pull your hair out because omg, meh. But when they're together, their characters are adorable and they make me grin.

Eee! You're watching Forbrydelsen, too! It's really amazing.

Substitute Three Kingdoms for The Killing and your reaction is mine down to the last word.

I wonder if we are simply too old for these kinds of dramas?

Re: KSH. Thought he was amazing in Christmas and Giant but he left me completely cold here. Must have been the character (otoh Taec had a very interesting character but acting wasn't there).

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.
