Oppa is so smitten with IU Lee Ji Eun that apart from buying an IU lightstick pillow (because the real one's so hard to find and expensive), he picked another IU drama for us to watch. He picked Dream High and I was curious about it too after watching a Kim Soo Hyun and IU clip from the show where they sang a song in perfect pitch. And it helped that I love Kim Soo Hyun too (that I included him in my Oppa List).
Initially, I thought it was going to be a very youth-oriented show that an oldie like me might have a hard time appreciating. But I was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed and loved it. :)
Dream High tells the story of high school students enrolled in Kirin Art School. It takes us through these students' quest to have a spot in the entertainment industry.

I've mentioned before that it was not love at first sight for me and Suzy. I didn't really like Vagabond and it affected how I felt about her. But she won me over in Start-Up. And Dream High helped me appreciate her even more.
We see a very young version of Suzy in this 10-year old show. As Go Hye Mi, Suzy looked pretty cute and in some scenes where she had her hair down with soft curls at the end, she actually looked like a doll.
Suzy was a very effective feisty bitch. If you didn't know her background, it would have been easy to dismiss her as a proud brat. But knowing that her mom left their family for another man, her dad left her and her sister to fend for themselves because he was running away from creditors, and she now had to carry the burden of her father's debts - you would understand where all that angst was coming from. You'd even admire her for being such a fighter. Sure, there were moments when I was annoyed with her incessant refusal to accept help from the people around her. But when her walls finally broke down, we can see what a kind-hearted person Hye Mi is.
Bae Suzy Filmography
Oh the lengths she would go to help her friends. She took notes for Song Sam Dong (Kim Soo Hyun) when he refused to attend their songwriting class and she patiently brought him those notes every night. She made a pledge/bet that if all regular track students would get an A in the songwriting class, their teacher, Mr. Kang Oh Hyuk (Uhm Ki Joon of Worlds Within), should be reinstated as a teacher after he was unfairly forced to resign. And while she started out really competitive and vengeful, I loved how Hye Mi never sought revenge against her former best friend, Yoon Baek Hee (Ham Eun Jung), even if the latter bullied her. Hye Mi remained selfless in her desire to protect Baek Hee.
Among the main characters, Hye Mi's attitude probably improved the most. From someone who looked down on pop music since she was a classical singer by training, it was amazing to see her aspire to become a pop idol. And Suzy played that transformation so well - from a lifeless singer to one who actually had great moves on stage.
Kim Soo Hyun played the awkward role of a rookie producer in The Producersreally well. And I was amazed that he also started out with quite a weird character in this show. I love how he does not seem to mind playing all these silly roles and how he blends in really well with whatever role he has to play.
Die Serien Und Filme Von Bae Suzy
Sam Dong was from the countryside. He had a very simple life prior to going to Kirin. People looked down on him when he first arrived and they made fun of his accent. But the great thing about Sam Dong was his very strong fighting spirit.
When his rare disease began to recur, Sam Dong almost quit. He left Mr. Kang's house and he wandered around until he ended up staying in a bar. He broke down a lot of times because of his condition and those moments of weakness were so convincing that I wanted to run to and hug Sam Dong. But when Hye Mi gave him a much needed pep talk and after she helped her survive his frightening ordeal on stage during his showcase performance, there was just no turning back for Sam Dong. He worked so hard that he even managed to attain perfect pitch despite his illness. And he even got an international recording album and he got to perform in the Grammy Awards. For someone who came from a simple background, he surely achieved so much.
Another testament of Sam Dong's strong will was how he never gave up on Hye Mi. He knew she lied when she told him she liked him to convince him to go to Kirin. He knew Jin Guk (Ok Taec Yeon of Wonderful Days) probably had the advantage in their love triangle since he had history with Hye Mi. He even got some sort of confirmation in that very heartbreaking moment when he saw Jin Guk kiss Hye Mi on the ferris wheel. But our boy never gave up. Sam Dong remained loyal to Hye Mi. He always protected her even if it meant putting his life at risk like when he shielded Hye Mi from the pot that almost hit her head. That scene where he broke down when he thought Hye Mi left for the US was really very heartbreaking.

And because hardwork really pays off, we get that very nice and surprising twist in the end...Hye Mi actually liked Sam Dong too, for real. I always thought that she was confused or that she preferred Jin Guk. But that scene where she left her wallet and Sam Dong saw and opened it and saw his photo inside was a very, very nice plot twist. I was squealing with delight. And who can forget how Sam Dong said that ever since, Hye Mi has always been music to him. *sigh*
We don't know how they ended up. Sam Dong went on to have a career in the US. Hye Mi still pursued singing. Hopefully when things settle down, they'll find their way back to each other.
I didn't really like Taec Yeon when I first saw him on Wonderful Days. He seemed to try so hard to look angry. But I loved the gentler, softer, and less angsty version of Taec Yeon that I watched in this show.

I loved how he was such a gentleman despite his seemingly tough image. He risked his career (and even a lawsuit) in order to protect Baek Hee. And I loved how gracious he was when Hye Mi rejected him. I thought I was rooting for him and Hye Mi but I found out I wasn't when that surprising plot twist was revealed. But I will always have a soft spot for Jin Guk since he also went through so much to get to where he is. Perhaps he can be with Baek Hee? :D
I would have to admit though that I didn't really like Jin Guk's moments with his dad (Choi Il Hwa as Hyun Moo Jin). They felt so fake and insincere, even during the moments when they were supposed to be really okay already.
Then she transformed and she looked even more interesting. However, her character also changed (in a very swift and quite unconvincing way and pace, if I may say). From a sweet, meek, and angelic friend, she turned into a vengeful monster. She wanted to reach her dream at all costs - even to the point of physically harming other people who got in her way. And while the things she did were really despicable, I agree with her that it was really the competitive environment in the school along with that enabler teacher, Ms. Si (Lee Yoon Ji), that created that Baek Hee monster. Being told that a little lie to further her goals won't hurt and letting her get away with her crimes would naturally embolden Baek Hee to plagiarize a song to achieve her dreams. And while it would have been easy to judge her, I still sympathized with and rooted for Baek Hee. She had a few wrong turns but I wanted her to get back up so she can compare how rewarding it is to work hard in an honest way. I was silently hoping that she would bag the EMG contract so she can have a fresh start.
Suzy Flirts With Kim Soo Hyun During Guest Appearance On 'you Who Came From The Stars'
We first see IU in a sushi costume in this show. IU as Kim Pil Sook was so insecure because of her weight. So despite having a really great voice (and a perfect pitch), she felt the need to hide behind a mascot costume.
We get loads of IU cuteness in this show. And while she probably had the least screentime among the main characters, she still managed to impress me with how wide her range is as an actress. I
