Synopsis

In Season Two, Kirin Arts High School has fallen from its top arts academy status into dire financial straits and is in danger of closing. This season follows a new group of students after the previous group graduated.
The school is taken over by OZ Entertainment Agency, who transfers their own idol stars over to the school to avoid the law that prohibits underage entertainers from performing after 10pm. Competition arises between the troubled students of Kirin and the newly transferred idols from OZ.


Kirin Arts high school was once a prestigious idol-training school. However, the school failed to produce stars past several years. Moreover, after going through excessive campus expansion, it is now in danger to be shut down due to the financial difficulty. The CEO asks Kang Cheolseung, who is called 'Hand of Midas' in entertainment industry, for help. As a solution, Kang Cheolseung proposes to hold an audition offering a billion won to the winner and the guaranteed admission to the participants who pass the preliminary. Many came to see the audition. Pretty boy, Ku Haesung, is here to find his father! Armed with confidence, Jang Boa is ready to take judges' spiteful remarks and achieve her dream as an idol star! Ko Shiwon is more concerned about his outfit than his singing on stage. He seems vain but actually innocent inside. Shin Nara came for an audition blinded by her love for Shiwon. Later, she discovers her talent as a singer. Let's go on a rough journey to the miracle with these guys!

My comment :

Cerita :
Drama musikal tentang remaja yg bersekolah di Kirin Art School.  Kalau sudah nonton Dream High 1, mesti nonton Dream High 2 dong ya ...  Drama remaja dan musikal pula, sudah barang tentu ceritanya ringan.  Yg saya suka dari drama ini adalah lagu-lagunya, enak-enak, bagus-bagus, nontonnya ringan dan enteng, enjoy banget.  Tentu saja ada intrik-intrik persaingan remaja dalam drama ini, persaingan prestasi maupun asmara.  Tapi semua masih dalam taraf wajar, tidak ada tokoh yg jahat ... normal dan natural.  Ada komedi, ada saat-saat terharu, tapi tidak sampai bikin nangis bombay.  Waktu nonton serial ini, saya tidak punya ekspektasi banyak, yg penting terhibur menontonnya.

 
Cast :
Orang-orang bilang castingnya gak bagus, aktingnya payah.  Tapi saya sih OK saja dengan casting ini.  Memang aktingnya pas-pasan, tapi film remaja memang hampir semuanya begini, apalagi mereka para pendatang baru di dunia drama.  Maklumlah ... tapi semuanya cukup menghibur kok.

Romance : karena di sekolah itu ceritanya gak boleh pacaran, maka pacarannya sembunyi-sembunyi. Pacaran ala ABG he he he ...

Ending : Happy

Rating : 7/10

Recommended untuk yg suka drama musikal, drama remaja, dan drama anak sekolahan.  Untuk penggemar drama dewasa yg banyak romance dan serius, lewatin dulu aja ya ....
