I like Dream High because for the first time, the protagonist is
a raging arrogant bitch. While most dramas, movies and novels present the
typical lead character sketch as someone who is predictably saint-like,
consistent do-gooder, and a weakling for most of the time, Dream High is
realistic. It gives us a non-biased view of the characters. We see where
everyone is coming from and more importantly, it shows us that everyone has
stories to tell and a bunch of valid reasons for their actions. It also allows
us to think of ourselves as possible lead characters in our own circumstances
even if humans as we are who are part bitches, part weaklings, part good, part
dumb, and a kaleidoscope of defects and strengths, our actions can be justified
when such circumstances are viewed from our standpoint. Dream High opens an
equal chance for anyone to dream regardless of how one is perceived by people
who saw only a couple of minutes of one’s life.
Like
a typical Asian Drama, Dream High also has its share of loopholes, diversions,
shallow circumstances, unnecessary web of events and so on. However, I would
say that such weaknesses did not punch a critical hole in the otherwise solid
plot and storyline. If anything, I think that the additions of such spirals
added to the rooting and development of the characters. I’d say that such an
approach is rather effective than destructive since Dream High is a
multiple-protagonist kind of drama in a sense. Think of the complexities as
pieces of the puzzle that make up a simple bigger picture. That it ended
exactly as how it started sealed the story, and thus, preserved its unity.
Also,
the scene transitions are awesome. It’s like I could read the screenplay right
when I was watching some particular scenes. If it were a literary piece, it
would have been a good one as well. Here they used appropriate objective
correlative, metaphors, anecdotes, symbolism etc. Here they exploited the
human’s instinctive interest in geniuses, prodigies, music, movement, competition,
conflict, change of heart, success stories, and dreams. With the perfect cast
(I’m not saying that they’re all brilliant actors/actresses but I really
believe that some actors/actresses just perfectly fit some particular character
roles and in this case, I think everything fell to place. (especially Kang Oh
Hyuk ;P)) and the perfect production team (I like how the writer reconciled
sensibility and level-headedness (although there are still a number of
loopholes but not as much as most dramas) with humour and magic. Plus the
buzz-worthy Choreography and Music). Shooting through both the brain and the
heart, it’s no wonder Dream High instantly established its own fandom just
after its first airing. And growing.
Lastly,
I love love love Go Hye Mi. I even love her arrogance and inconsistencies. I
love her cool and indifference, her bitchness and gentleness, her stubbornness
and pride, her being straightforward, fearless, and bold. I like how she
refuses to be treated like a princess, how she does things her own way, and how
she isn’t bound onto anything or anyone. I like how she only has that same face
when she’s worried, happy, angry, sad, and sorry. I like the contradiction of
her toughness and innocence, not knowing about intimacy and running away from affection.
She has this way of making people hate her and therefore make them love her
more. I like her because I understand her…the way she contradicts herself more
than anyone else. Most of all, I like the journey of her heart, how she grew up
and matured. She’s probably my most favorite girl drama protagonist of
all time.
QUOTES:
“Break
Shot. Do you know what that is? It’s what sets the game into play. It’s
referring to the starting kick-off shot. Although this start is an easy task,
even with the same dynamics and tactics, the ball can move in different
directions. Where the balls will go is hard to determine because the moment the
break-shot is done, my hands are free and everything else is up to them. After
the opening first strike, the balls will move in different paths. And the game
will have started. The same can be said with important changes that happen in
life. If ever one comes across such defining ‘break-shot’ moment, your once
peaceful world will shatter into pieces.” (Director/Bae Yong Joon)
***
“Don’t
beg. It’s worse than a third-class person’s behavior.” (Director/Bae Yong Joon)
***
“Just
like you said, they are inadequate people. But I have a feeling that they will
do well.” (Director/Bae Yong Joon)
***
“If
you lied to someone you should apologize, not throw your temper at them. If the
shoe is damaged, you have to fix it. If you are sad, just cry out loud, not
throw a tantrum.” (Jin Guk)
***
“My
dad said that when someone says this kind of words, it’s because of two
reasons: one is having no confidence and the other is being afraid.” (Go Hye
Mi)
***
“What
kind of person are you really? There are times you act like a villain. There
are times you’re like a poor princess. And there are times you’re like a moth,
so brave. Sometimes you make me worry…my Asura.” (Jin Guk)
***
“If
we meet an obstacle, all we have to do is cross it.” (Song Sam Dong)
***
“Sincerity
is simply singing for somebody out there.” (Kang Oh Hyuk)
***
“Stubbornness
is a loser’s excuse. Stubbornness is really very tiring.” (Go Hye Mi)
***
“All
these ‘what ifs’ are only right if all of us had not been born.” (Jin Guk)

Samdong:
A fake showcase…we can just not do it. You don’t have to do so much for me.
Ohhyuk:
It’s not because of you. It’s because I want to see. I really want to see a
stage belonging to you guys. It was just that the admission ticket is going to
be slightly expensive. You once mentioned that your dreams were always out of
reach and out of sight, right? I am also the same. So let’s make full use of
this chance and let me see your talents. I want to know what dreams are made of
so I may be able to grasp it.

Ms.
Shi: This is not for them. If it’s really for them, you have to tell them that
their children don’t have the skills to get on stage. Do you think there is any
parent in this world who would not do anything when their children are wasting
their time dreaming of something that won’t come true? Mr. Kang, you are way
more cruel than me.
Ohhyuk:
Hello. I’m Kang Oh Hyuk, a teacher here in Kirin Art Academy. I want to take
this chance to express great gratitude to the parents and audience here that
clapped and cheered for our students’ performances. I am on stage today because
there is something I must apologize for to all of you. The showcase that you
all saw today is actually a fake showcase. I am very sorry. The students who
performed in today’s showcase are those who failed in performing in the actual
showcase. This stage was planned and created because we didn’t want the parents
to learn about this sad truth. Parents always ask us these questions: “Does my
kid have the potential to become a star? Should he continue doing this? Does
she seem to have any talent?” You may be afraid that your children may be
falling into a cliff and get hurt because they don’t know how to fly. In fact,
I don’t know whether these kids have talent or not. But the one thing I am sure
of is that these kids want to fly more than any of you here. They love the
stage and they really want to stand on the stage. As they were cutting papers
to be used on stage, they desperately wanted this opportunity so much. Su much
that they would pull many all-nighters for this performance that doesn’t even
count towards their grades. Because they really love the stage. Because their
dream is so pretty. They’re kids who believe that the path to their dreams is
happy too. To these kids, isn’t it cruel to tell them to not even begin since
they may get hurt? I think being in love with something is a talent as well.
And today, I clearly saw their talents. So, with faith in their talents, I want
to tell these kids to fly high. I don’t know how big their wings are but I want
to tell them to try. And I will do everything in my power to make their journey
happy. And of course, a safety net would be needed. A safety net that would
catch them if they do fall. I believe that family is that safety net. From now
on, please encourage them and cheer for them. I humbly ask you. For listening
to this long speech, thank you so much.

“Do
you remember what I told you? About me not seeing my dream because it’s running
away from me? Now, I can clearly see it. My dream…is really really pretty. It
is pretty enough to drive me crazy. So now I really want to get to that dream.
Also, I think my path to that dream will also be full of happiness.” (Sam Dong)
***
“I
realized it when I got my own dream. In this world, there are no such things as
a worthless dream.” (Jin Guk)
***
“If
I take away my honesty, I’m nothing but a corpse.” (Oh Hyuk)
***
“If
it were to last this long, the story would change. You realize what your
problems were, reflect on them, change, and then mature. If this goes the way
these kinds of stories do normally, the leading lady of this drama winds up
being you. You still have a long way to go until your drama’s over so don’t be
discouraged that it’s not progressing quickly. If you go slowly, there’s more
you can learn along the way than someone who goes faster than you. If you were
to ask me who wins between the two, I’d say the one who goes slowly but
experiences more.” (Oh Hyuk)
***
“My
dear, do you know why the saying ‘beauty is skill’ came to be? Because with
effort, it can be changed. There are no ugly girls in this world, just lazy
ones.”
***
“If
you think for too long, you will lose all your courage.” (Oh Hyuk)
***
Pilsuk:
I still am your fan. That’s why I’m saying this.
Jason:
Fan? Does a fan make a fool out of the other person?
Pilsuk:
Yes. A true fan who cares. I think that’s what I am.
***
“Someone
who can’t clap for his friend’s success and can’t truly be happy for his
friend’s happiness, his heart is already in hell. I don’t want to live in
hell.” (Go Hye Mi)
***
“The
strange thing about a stage is if you ask it something, it answers you. And
it’s scary how precisely it does so. Whether you kids have the right to go solo
or not, go ahead and ask the stage. How much you kids prepared, just how
skilled you are, the stage knows well. It knows and it’ll applaud you. However,
if you’re lacking in preparations just a little, or are cowardly, the stage
will know that too like a demon and it’ll start ridiculing you. For whoever’s
ready and whoever has the right, the stage will be warm and welcoming. And
that’s when you’ll conquer it. However, in front of those people who don’t have
the right, the stage will be frightening and unwelcoming. Then you kids will be
eaten up by the stage.” (Oh Hyuk)
***
“If
one side is 100%, that’s the answer not a choice. Fifty-fifty. People call it
choosing because it’s hard to decide. Anyway, you have to choose one, what else
can you do about it? When you make your choice, you shouldn’t look back but
instead make that 50 into 100. Try your best and prove to yourself that the
choice you made was correct.” (Jin Guk)
***
“People
say that there are two kinds of happiness in the world. The first is the kind
of happiness where you realize that it was a happy moment after time passes and
the second is the kind of happiness where you realize at that moment that you
are happy. The happiness which you realize that you are happy at that
particular moment is supposed to be so rare since that happiness is the best
kind, one that you can treasure for the rest of your life. We will live on
remembering that moment when we shined so brilliantly.” (Jin Guk)

Samdong:
How do you think you will feel when you become the greatest?
Baekhee:
Like the word itself —- wouldn’t you feel great? That would be so awesome.
Samdong:
I don’t think like that. Being the greatest means you will be at an
exceptionally lonely and shaky place, don’t you think?
