Dream High 2 - Episode 15

We're almost at the end here, and I can't help but be... bored. This episode is also a bit disjointed with them jumping from scene to scene rather quickly, not really taking time to develop each one.

We open with the ending of the "Together" duet, with Hae-Sung holding back tears on stage. At the end, everyone enthusiastically claps for JB and Rian.

Dream High 2 - Episode 14 (Part Two)

With more frustration and discontinuity, we persevere onward:

Seul practices the song she's going to sing for the audition. It's entitled Dirty Cash (Korean song with English title) and she's singing it for her dad. This is even more hilarious since her dad will be sitting front and center, unknown to anyone else but the two. Ui-Bong stops her, saying that her father would collapse if he heard her singing that. Seul tells him to butt out, then in an effort to cover up her emotions toward Ui-Bong, tells him to stop being so nice to her because she's leaving to study abroad.

Music Monday: Together

Well, at least one good thing came out of the train wreck that was Dream High 2... the OST! Well, not every song was a hit (I swear "B Class Life" is extremely annoying), but Part 7 is the duet "Together" characters JB and Rian sing at the end of Episode 14, written by their classmate Hae-Sung.

In real life, "Together" is sung by Jiyeon (from the girl group T-ara) and JB, who play Rian and JB, respectively. The track was written by Park Jin-Young and released on March 13th, the day before the episode featuring the song aired. Although I feel that Jiyeon's first verse is a little shaky vocally, she gets it together fairly quickly and it's a pretty good ballad.

Dream High 2 - Episode 14 (Part One)

Oh, Dream High 2, how do you manage to make me loathe you even more? This episode has so much craziness that I'm breaking it up into two parts in order to save my sanity.

The first 5 minutes of this episode simply replays the end of the last. The whole theater break up, random kid in street, JB hit by truck thing.

Dream High 2 - Episode 13

Since I'm torturing myself watching Dream High 2, I might as well recap it.

There's no need to recap in detail the entire show up to this point. You didn't miss much. Really. Basically, Kirin Art School sucks now, a bunch of idol teens attend now (often referred to as A Class) due to some law loopholes, and now the idols compete against the less talented regular Kirin students (B Class). They're all in the running to become the next Super Idol via cryptic song and/or dance challenges issued by the idol's entertainment company. Love triangles and squares abound. Drama ensues. Nothing exciting. Now that you're caught up, onto Episode 13.
