A story of 6 high school students of Kirin Art High School who all have dreams of becoming the next K-Pop Stars. Along with harnessing their singing and dancing skills they also need to face all the possible struggles that they need to overcome in order to succeed. Despite the test of friendship, trust and loyalty, their young minds grew maturity. With their strong will and heart, as a group, they were able to soar high and reached their dreams.

There are just so many reasons why I love this series. It's overflowing with positivity and good vibes. It’s well casted, well written, fast paced and extremely entertaining! It would make you smile, cry, fall in love and most of all dream… dream high!

The cast!  Aside from the fact that there's a special participation of my first korean idol Bae Yong-joon, the entire casts were just adorable and splendid since they're so fitting their characters. They look so fresh and radiant onscreen. They have the chemistry that makes each roles fit each other perfectly. It’s my first time watching Kim Soo-hyun and I sure love him! He can make you laugh but when he cries, it’s hard not to cry with him. He’s just perfect! And Ok Taecyeon was seriously handsome in his mysteriously bad boy yet selfless and kind role. Suzy was equally fitting her role being the coldhearted, arrogant yet softhearted fighter same with Eunjung. IU and Wooyoung... awww.. they make my heart flutter! They look so cute and lovely!!!

Since it’s a musical, the musical score didn't fail me at all. The theme song “Dream High” is so addicting like I can repeatedly listen to it all day. All songs were just perfectly blended and soothing to the ear. This is my first time listening to IU sing and I should say, her voice is that of an angel. I super love her voice especially with the song “Someday”, it’s just perfect!

The story line, it’s well written and well-paced. I just thought that the story is really crazy funny and interestingly entertaining. The conflicts that every character has to go through just validates all their reactions to their characters. The consistency of the story and the usage of the golden "K" amulet makes this story even more delightful to watch. There’s never a boring episode. After finishing one it’ll make you look forward to the next one. I love how the story was able to clearly portray the evolution of each and every characters from being lost innocent dreamers to being matured and bright stars. It’s entertaining and fresh to my senses that this is probably one of the most enjoyable Korean series that I have watched.

The ending. It’s mixed emotions. I was excited as to what the ending would be that after watching the last scene, I sat in front of my laptop, thinking did I love that ending? Did it satisfy the 16 hours I spent watching this series? I think I did. Yes, I am convinced that I am. It stimulates your mind making you create an ending of your own. There’s a lot of possibility of a good ending given the premise and this story sure didn't fail to do that.

I would rate this 10 out of 10!
