My comment :
Kalau di Hollywood lagi demam Glee, di Korea Selatan lagi demam Dream High ...
Cerita remaja di sekolah seni memang selalu menarik untuk ditonton. Musik enak, lagu enak, suara bagus, dance yg indah .. Kata teman-teman saya, Dream High ini biasa saja, tapi kata saya Dream High ini bagus lho ... gak bosan nontonnya

Cerita : bagus kok ... dan karakter tiap tokohnya, mulai dari 6 siswa dan siswi (Hyemi, Baek Hee, Pil Sook, Jin Gook, Jason dan Sam Dong) sampai ke guru-gurunya semua menarik dan unik. Masing-masing punya masalah dan diselesaikan dengan masuk akal dan tidak lebay. Sederhana dan enak disimak.
