She was his biggest fan. He transferred to her school. They fell in love…. No, this is not a One Direction fanfiction, but the plot of Dream high 2!

Dream High 2 is the sequel of Dream High (A Korean drama series). It’s set years after the events of the original story and follow a completely new cast of characters that attend Kirin High school of Arts.
The story stars with the introduction of a new law, which forced underage kpop stars to attend school and five kpop stars end up at Kirin. One of them is JB, the main characters (Shin Hae-Sung) idol/obsession. And from the moment the two meet, there is a special kind of spark between them.

Personally, I loved Dream High 2. It is cheesy as fuck, but in a way that it works. But maybe my love for it is based on JB who is played by.. You guessed it, JB from the band GOT7. This whole show is literally a GOT7 fanfiction brought to life. And that is something that every fandom deserves.

Even though this whole thing was a fanfiction, I didn’t like Shin Hae-Sung and JB together. I preferred JB with his ex, kpop idol Rian. I believe Rian and JB had much more chemistry and a more healthy balance in their relationship. And it helps that Rian is my favorite character, I love her development from a bitch who thinks she is the best to a humble(ish) person who works hard to become the best. It was just beautiful to watch!

Just like Dream High, the center of this show was a love triangle. But Dream High 2 took it to a bit of an extreme with four different love triangles, it got so bad that even the other characters in the show complained they were tired of love triangles and just wanted people to fucking chose!

The original Dream High is better than the sequel, but both are lovely to watch! And a little bit painful… I like that both shows are centered around character development and music. It gives you a new insight in the world of kpop idols and for me, it made me glad that I’m not a idol…
I would recommend you watch both shows, if you love kpop or not. Because does it really matter what race the actors are if it’s a good show? I think not!

Until my next post,
Stay Nerdy!
