SYNOPSIS
Kirin Arts High School has fallen from its top arts academy status into dire financial straits and is in danger of closing. The school is taken over by OZ Entertainment Agency, who transfers their own idol stars over to the school to avoid the law that prohibits underage entertainers from performing after 10 pm. Competition arises between the troubled students of Kirin High School and the newly transferred idols from OZ Entertainment.
REVIEW
Considering that the same people behind Dream High 2 are more or less the same people who produced its prequel, I had expected this drama to be at least satisfactory enough. That expectation is probably why I was much disappointed with this drama in terms of writing and acting.
I didn't really like the characters in this drama as a whole. It's hard to root for people to succeed in their chosen careers if they don't have the talent because even if they work really hard, there are some instances wherein talent matters more than hard work.
In addition, the characters don't really want what they are working for; their careers are either something they settled for because it's what they can do considering their lack of talent or it's their stepping stone to do something else that they really want. I understand that it's reality but I don't know, I'd really rather root for someone who wants to be an idol or music artist because they love singing and dancing even though they are not exceptionally talented.
