Dream high

It seems like the only things that I can update on this blog are summaries of my favorite shows but honestly sometimes watching some shows made me learn a lot more .
So this time I'm gonna write about this Korean musical drama I just finish watching "Dream High".

***********************Long rant on drama below**********************************

At first when I watch this drama I felt like it's a copy of "Glee" but it's not really similar.Some said this drama is inspired by movie "Fame" but as I've never watch "Fame" before so I can't comment on that.This drama starts of with a scene from Grammy award in 2018 where this singer named 'K' is the first Korean singer to receive the Grammy award but we never get to see the face of 'K' only that this person is wearing a 'K' pendant, so throughout this drama, we will have to guess who 'K' is.

Then we were took back to present day which is the audition day for Kirin Art High School enrollment.This school is actually a high school that trained students in singing and dancing with goal to debut as idol singers.This story centers around 6 kids but out of this 6 kids, only 3 made it through the audition while other 3 were recommended by the school's president who then leave the school.Because of the bad blood between the school's president and the school's director, these 3 kids were assigned to the "loser class" by a teacher who was about to be fired by the director.This story basically revolve around how these 6 kids develop their characters, facing so many obstacles throughout the drama to reach their goal in the end.What I like about this drama is that each of these 6 kids and the teacher has so many flaws and sad past but each of them graduated from their flaws.Throughout each episodes, we will have no idea who 'K' is because the 'K' pendant was passed around to each of the kids when they were facing something hard. I must say even though at first I found myself hating some characters at the start but as each episode goes by, I found myself rooting for all 6 kids to be 'K'.
This drama has so many different elements.It is really heartwarming and touching especially seeing the teacher's sacrifices in helping each of them to discover their potentials. It is really funny too with all the metaphors on k-pop though I'm not sure if people who don't really follow k-pop will really get the jokes. I am quite a follower of k-pop in the sense that I watch most variety shows, dramas and know most bands,singers and actors in korea, even the rookie ones so that's part of the reason that I found this drama so entertaining.The actors in this drama are from popular idol groups in real life and the songs they cover in this drama are familiar to me so that's a bonus cause it's relatable.The love stories are really sweet and cute too but most of all the freshness and excitement of starting something new make it a great premise and it even made me feel like going back to high school, when all dreams were possible.

Honestly, the reason I abandoned this blog for so long is not because I don't have time but because I realized that through time I've become a really dark person inside.I stop believing that I can do anything and I felt so lost.I don't seem to be moving forward or even know what to do.People kept on asking me to change something if I don't like it but how?I don't know how to or even what to change.Even if I know how, I don't have enough confidence to do it.When I saw my family and friends achieving something, I was genuinely happy for them but as human I can't help being jealous.I kept on asking why was it that I work as hard or even 2 times harder than these people but these people get to achieve something that I want while I'm still here with nothing.Why was it that I always have to be the person that have to go through things the hard way.It's like if we were to go on a journey from A to Z ,I have to crawl and be lost along the way while everybody else found a shortcut and even have a car to take them Z.All these thoughts made me hate myself even more.There was a line in the drama "not being able to congratulate a friend on her success is living in a hell of your own making" which is so true.I'm in a hell of my own making.

I think this is too long of a rant already but anyhow this is a good drama to watch.I'll finish off with this quote from the drama which somehow gave me some hope

“Your drama has a long way to go before it’s over. So don’t worry about taking things slowly. Compared to those who walk fast,the ones that walk slow, are able to see more things much clearer. If you ask who has the greater potential,I believe the person that walks slower will be the more enriched person.”
