Dream High

So lately, I have been hooked into this Korean series entitled Dream High.
Dream High tells the story of six students at Kirin Art High School who work to achieve their dreams of becoming music stars in the Korean music industry. Go Hye Mi is a student who had majored in classical music but has to give up her dream by entering Kirin Art High School to pay off her father's debt. However, she needs to get two other students to also come to the school in order for her to enroll in the school conditionally. These two students are Song Sam Dong, who lives in the countryside, and Jin Guk, whom she accidentally meets while trying to escape from a loan shark. Yoon Baek Hee, formerly Hyemi's sidekick, becomes her rival in school because Hye Mi betrays her during an audition to enter the school. (DramaWiki)
Official Poster
Well, I think the scenes in the last episode are too compressed, that too many events happened in an hour.  From Hye Mi's struggle to debut in a month, to sudden planning and execution of a flash mob, to 2018.  I liked how their stories ended up but I don't like how hey crammed the events in one episode. This deserves at least 2 episodes.

Characters:
(Top) Hye Mi (Suzy), Sam Dong (Kim Soo Hyun)
(Middle) Baek Hee (Eun Jung), Jin Gook (Taecyeon)
(Bottom) Pil Suk (IU), Jason (Wooyoung)
Just as usual, I have sudden crushes on this series, IU and Eun Jung. They're so adorable in this series, especially when Baek Hee cut her hair short, and when Pil Sook was still chubby. Suzy is cute as well, but she looks like another Korean celebrity.

IU as Kim Pil Sook
When Hye Sung chose Jin Gook over Sam Dong
Hye Mi's Bird Dance looks like a Korean folk dance LOL
I'm still looking for the complete official soundtrack of Dream High in the torrent sites. I loved Sam Dong's Dreaming, the duet of Sam Dong and Hye Mi, Maybe, and when Sam Dong challenged Jason, The Last Concert.  I really loved the quality of Sam Dong's voice. Here are the lyric videos of the songs:

ENGLISH
I was looking at my dream
that is being deemed far away
and I was standing blankly

i don’t have
anything left any more
I thought about giving up everything but..
I am standing up again

Even today, step by step
I step forward carefully
My heart is full of fear,
but it’s an excitement I’m embracing
I am staggering and shaking
But, I step forward towards
the dream that I am going to meet some day

As I’m thinking if it is going end like this,
a fear constantly comes,
I’m hesitating but…
Deep inside my heart
there’s an unstoppable beating
that drags me forward

Even today, step by step
I step forward carefully
My heart is full of fear,
but it’s an excitement I’m embracing
I am staggering and shaking
But, I step forward towards
the dream that I am going to meet some day

Even today, step by step
I step forward carefully
My heart is full of fear,
but it’s an excitement I’m embracing
I am staggering and shaking
But, I step forward towards
the dream that I am going to meet some day
towards the dream that I am going to meet some day


Maybe - Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy

ENGLISH

My cold heart, all of a sudden,
seems to have melted because you came into my life.
And without even knowing, my heart was filled. 
Whenever I return home,
I remember you.
In my heart, you’re there.
Since I’ve known you…
Maybe, you’re the one.
Maybe, perhaps…
Maybe, you are the soulmate
I’ve been waiting for.
Maybe, it is true.
You were always so close
That’s why I didn’t know.
Baby, I’m in love with you
I hope that I’m not too late.
Hope that you’ll understand
that I’ve realized it now.
I know it’s too late…
I know it’s late now..
But….
This heart won’t be shaken again.
Maybe, it is true.
You were always so close
that I didn’t recognize you.
Baby I’m in love with you.

ENGLISH

Now, my sad appearance
There is a little girl (at the end of the stage / backstage)
while I do my best to fight the tears
she is staring at me

At the backstage, that little girl
Sitting in a chair
Two tender hands on each other
While she stares and listens
To my story, oh

As the girl gets to know me
She gets more and more (the blues/sad)

Step by step, she gets carried away by the song
The little girl can't control her weeping
She takes her way outside and leaves me

Although the song came at its end
Now, I won't sing about the past
This sad song

She takes her way outside and leaves me

Although the song came at its end
Now, I won't sing about the past
This sad song....
