Drama Trivia : Dream High

Looking at my statistic, my all time most viewed post is You're Beautiful Cast Trivia. I love drama and trivia, go figure. :D So to start off, I choose Dream High because it's my thing..idol drama.


Go Hye Mi acted by SuZy

Suzy is the youngest member of Miss A (also the youngest of the main cast), the group that gives us hits like "Bad Girl Good Girl" and "Breathe" last year. In one scene in Dream High where she sleeps with his on-screen sister, she was really sleeping and woke up the morning after. This story was told on Happy Together Season 3. She received harsh criticism on her acting on the early episode.


Song Sam Dong acted by Kim Soo Hyun

The only non idol/singer in the main cast. While filming for this show, his birthday falls on the same day and the rest of the cast throw him a birthday party. He was offered to be a singer but he declined and choose to focus on acting. He was an MC for a music chart show on a cable channel along side with Kara SeungYeon.


Hyeon Si Hyuk/JinGook acted by TaecYeon (left), Jason acted by Woo Young

2 members of 2PM acted on this drama, Taecyeon had early experience with from another KBS Drama "Cinderella Stepsister" and it's WooYoung first time acting. The similarity WooYoung and his character is they both win first place on their auditions. In this drama, WooYoung had to speak English because his character is from US but TaecYeon who speaks good English didn't.


Yoon Baek Hee acted by EunJung

Similarly to Taecyeon, EunJung has her experience in acting on "Coffee House". She's in the group T-Ara, which she was once a leader before it was change to Boram. Her position in T-ara is rapper but she doesn't rap much in this drama. She often take selca (Self Camera) on sets and post it on her Twitter account.


Kim Pil Suk acted by IU

Dubbed as the "National Little Sister". IU has her first time acting in this drama. She initially thought that her character won't have much screen time but her character is lovable along side with WooYoung. In the scene where she looks for songs to sing at the Japan wedding reception, she took a book which is her real life songs. Additionally the scene at the hospital, her Mickey mouse hairband sold out after the episode premiered.

More Trivia~!

The building of the school will be used as a museum (?) after filming and will be open for the public. The drama is co-produced by Park Jin Young (who portrayed Yang Jin Man) and Bae Yong Jun (who portrayed Jung Ha Myung) which is why actors and cameos are from their respective company. Furthermore Park Jin Young also produced the singles of the Drama OST. So yeah, guess who cash in more money?

A friend of mine recommended me to watch this drama. Is it really that good? Cause i'm more of the 'Coffee Prince' 'you're beautiful' kind of audience.

Well, you kinda ask the wrong person because I'm not fan of the cast..except soohyun and IU.. so I can't give a great recommendation, it's rather okay, the female lead is a little stiff, but gradually she's better in latter episode. I generally skip only to watch my favorite cast.. If you like music, teenage story plot..go for it!

Based on your example, both are gender bender.. Maybe you would like to try Sungkyunkwan Scandal..although the female lead is so pretty, you would never thought she's playing a dude. Oh and it's historical drama.

If you need more convincing, sort of objective answer..you may read some recaps on Dramabeans.com
