Dream High: Season 2 A-Go

[walkwithheroes]

A second season of the addictive drama Dream High has been announced. It will air in January of 2012 and will have a whole new cast. My thoughts on this are mixed, because I did love the first season, but mostly due to the characters. I'm not sure if I could take six new Idols coming in; especially as Idols can be very hit-and-miss acting wise. Hell, some of the cast of Dream High only became 'good', acting wise, toward the middle or end of the drama.

Higher-ups from KBS had this to say: “Whether we’ll be casting rookie idols like ‘Dream High’ and ‘Jungle Fish,’, or whether we’ll be going through an audition process is still up for discussion. There’s a high probability that the season will begin airing in January of 2012, just in time for winter break.”

So what might change for “Dream High Season 2″? The representative did not reveal much, but said, “The original format of ‘Dream High’ was great, so we’re planning to carry it over.”


Again, I'm not so sure how I feel about this, as part of the fun of the first season was the misfits becoming stronger and the craziness of their teachers. I guess that the second season will take place in 2012, when the original characters from season one are rising stars. Wonder if they'll cameo?

S2? Hmmmm. I think the format lends itself to it but I agree with you - it will depend hugely on the idols they cast.

I agree. It will depend on who they cast. Because, like I said above, out of the six main characters - half of them couldn't really act until half-way through the drama. Though, its hard to think of who they'll cast, because they'll want to cast 'fresh' Idols.

Hmm I think it actually sounds pretty good. As long as I get more dancing/singing then I'm usually in a pretty good place.

I think the second season has to try and get a better overall story arc. Because, as much as I loved the show, it got a bit boring.

Thank God I'm not the only one! I had the same issues with it.

It really doesn't surprise me that the show has a second season. Its such a great marketing tool for JYP, I've been introduced to IU and Miss A through the show!

They took too long on certain plots and didn't spend enough time on other plots. At least in my mind.

Dream High is a great marketing took for JYP - they put their Idols in a popular drama. Oh, I love IU now. It's a great way to get to know K-pop music.
