This drama is a big disappointment. Though I didn't have doubts that it can't surpass the first season's success, I didn't expect Dream High 2 to be at this level. The story might have been well-grounded since it looked into the realistic bitter side of artists, which is really promising. I think the disappointment was also because I expected too much on the first episodes thinking that it can hold onto a potentially great story line, which obviously didn't materialize. Halfway, it became a love story where you'll be amused and annoyed in guessing who the hell ends up with who. The "dream theme" is slowly vanishing. The "super idol" thing going on is rather dragging rather than exciting. I felt the casting was a waste since they weren't able to shine in their respective characters. Their skills on stage are unquestionably exceptional yet weren't brought to the spotlight properly. Their acting was acceptable, I guess since it's not awkward to watch. One more thing is that the drama doesn't have anything to keep it together. I actually tried skipping an episode and felt that I didn't miss anything, though I eventually watched it anyway. One scene that gave me hope for this drama was Jin Yu Jin's dancing. It's a must watch! The dance, I mean.
