I don’t know what I am more excited for, the Super Bowl tomorrow or Dream High episode 10 on Monday. Probably the Super Bowl, but only by a hairsbreadth. My love of professional sports probably trumps my drama addiction, but that’s a subject for another place. Back to Dream High, which has everyone gnawing on their fat lower lip waiting for The Big Moment that was teased in the preview. Will it come? Will it be a feint? Will a koala swoon or throw crockery? Spoilers after the jump.
Ahhh, so it looks like a real bona fide kissy kissy, with both participants awake and aware of the moment. Me like. Really, even as a true blood SamMi shipper, I’ve always said (1) MiGook is just as compelling for me, and (2) I am a sucker for a swoonworthy romantic moment. I love the kiss in the ferris wheel, which I don’t think I have ever seen done before in any drama. A kiss with the ferris wheel in the background I watched in Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, but IN a ferris wheel, this has got to be a first.
I’m pretty sure the lead-in scene will be equally as romantic, and makes me wish I were shipping MiGook still. But I’m not, because I’ve discovered a million and one reasons that SamMi works better for me. I hope my Sam Dong isn’t going to see the kiss, but I’m guessing he will see it. The following spoiler pictures below show Sam Dong with a new shorter (and way sexier) haircut, and him being all distressed and agonizing in public. Picking my poison, Hye Mi has either told him she’s flouncing off to Jin Gook, or he’s lost his hearing again. Either way, he looks to be in a world of pain.
DH is such a fun drama to speculate over how any plot point will develop. I’m going out on a limb and stating that even though Jin Gook gets the first kiss, I still think Sam Dong is the end game. And I kinda don’t care that Sam Dong may have cut his hair because he (thinks) he lost Hye Mi to Jin Gook. Any heartbreak that gets my boy to look like THAT (see below), is fine by me.
I have such a soft spot for C-actress Yang Mi and it just makes me…
So Queen of Tears was filmed in 2023 and wrapped awhile ago so it's not…
I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest…
Oh what a great surprise! This drama was announced two years ago and I've long…
So this drama was filmed a few years ago and hasn't been intentionally shelved but…

So far, i don't sense Hye-Mi liking Sam Dong in a romantic way and I don't see that changing soon...kind of losing hope. My theory for dramas is that whoever kisses the girl first usually gets the girl...except for BOF. I love DH, everyone are so cute except for Baek-Hee (which the show wants us to hate). Pil-Sook is so sweet. Thanks for all your recaps, infos. :)
Haha. "Except in BOF"? You and my bestfriend said the same thing. But I reminded her that Jun Pyo was still the first kiss of Jandi because of the pool accident. Remember when Jun pyo was drowning because he fell in the pool because of the bug? Jan di saved him and give him the CPR. So yeah. Haha. The first kiss thing is my theory too in watching dramas so yeah. I like taec & suzy since ep 1 too, fyi. They sooo look good together ^^
hehe. forgot about the pool scene!
but Sam Dong did get the first kiss.. it wasn't on the lips but it was on her cheek.
My heartbreaks for SamDong. But i really hope he ends up with Hye-Mi in the end
The same for me ! I'm sooo sad for Sam-Dong )=
And I hope Hye-Mi woula be with him in the end ... )":
This ep made me cry and shout very loud ,,, -- "
Hi Koala. I am a MiGook shipper but I can't help but agree with you that (with DH) "even though Jin Gook gets the first kiss, I still think Sam Dong is the end game"!!! Ahhh heartbreak. I can vividly picture myself squeeing over the kiss then picking up the pieces of my heart after the game.
Thank you so much for the recaps and the spoilers.
P.S. I want Hyemi and Jingook to end up together! I think I'm gonna do the sun dance.
If they do can I join your dance??
Go MiGook!!
I'll join u 2!!
Thanks much ockoala! I've been following and liking DH through your recaps and previews.
Just want to share that a J-dorama in 1995, "For You" had a scene where the 2 leads kissed inside a ferris wheel. Actually it was more of a stolen kiss by the lead male character played by Takahashi Katsunori on Miho Nakayama, the lead female character. Still it was romantic. "For You" had a heart-warming love story.
P.S. So, who are you rooting for tomorrow's Superbowl? :)
Haha you are like me, except for me its my love of college sports trumps my love of professional sports which trumps my love for kdramas. As much as I like Dream High I am definitely more excited for the superbowl since Green Bay is playing and I have been a fan of Aaron Rodgers (and Desmond Bishop as well) since I was an undergrad at Cal/Berkeley when they were playing for my college team the Cal Golden Bears (Aaron was the QB during my freshman/sophmore years and Desmond Bishop was the Linebacker my 3/4th years of college) so I am definitely rooting for Green Bay. Go Packers!
Back to Dream High, I honestly don't know who will end up with who because this wouldn't be the first drama to change the game unexpectedly but I am just glad there is some movement in this triangle. I am also glad that KSH is sporting a shorter style since I think it suits him more and kinda gives him a hotter look rather than the cuter country bumpkin look which I think will be more appropriate if he will take his dreams seriously and if he wants to really win HyeMi. Also I read that Taec and Suzy didn't really kiss (probably due to parental opposition since Suzy is only 16 yo) but they did the camera work to make it look like they did so I hope it looks somewhat realistic on screen.
P.S. Like Bashful asked, who are you rooting for? just curious lol.
More to the ferris wheel kisses... I thought that there are heaps of those in Taiwanese drama... i.e. It started with a Kiss, and there's another one with MikeHe in it.. (but can't recalled the name...)
Re; SamMi, I really really really reallyyyyyy hope that they will be together at the end,
perhaps let JinGook be K and be the star in the entertainment world..
and let the couple who deserve to be together be together... kekekee...
(*naive thinking*)
and for superbowl, we down under follow Aussie footy here.... have no idea of which team to root for
Oh. My. Goodness. That last photo of Sam Dong.. I had to collect myself.
I think Boys Over Flowers came close to the kiss-in-a-ferris-wheel concept with the Namsan cable car?
*Spoiler* According to allkpop, "Hyemi and Sam Dong get lost and end up performing on the streets in order to make enough money for the trip back home. A Japanese b-boy crew performing across the street from them end up challenging the Korean students to a battle."
Sounds like it's going to be another awesome episode.
I ship for SamMi althoug gook got the first kiss.if hyemi choose gook then she a foolish girl to let go sam dong with new hair cut that is hotter.omo tomorrow ep 10 yey but I want more jason-phil suk with jason being in pain because suk kinda let go her crush on him.
omona!
Samdong, Samdong, Samdong! My heart will break for Samdong. Aigoo. Aigoo.
Concerning your comment "I’m going out on a limb and stating that even though Jin Gook gets the first kiss, I still think Sam Dong is the end game.":
No!! Am I the only MiGook shipper here? I am seriously holding out what little hope I have that Jin Gook and Hye Mi end up together since Dream High isn't really doing so well as to clue us in (or at least just me) as to which couple would end up together in the end, unlike the usual kdramas... With messages on forums and blogs leaning more towards SamMi loveline than MiGook, I am seriously getting depressed because the light at the end of my tunnel is slowly fading... I LOVE Dream High (it's my absolute crack!) but if it doesn't end up the way I so desperately hope it would, I would hate it forever...
On a somewhat lighter note (well, for me...), I was seriously not expecting the kiss to be real, what with Suzy being ONLY 16 years old... Even seeing the preview and the pics, I was seriously telling myself "As much as I want it to happen, it probably won't. She's too young..." Even though I know the kiss is real, I know it's not gonna be an all-out-make-out session since like I said, she's ONLY 16. So I can pretty much bet that this is only going to be a peck on the lips.
With Dream High being only 9 episodes in, I am already trying to cope for my pity party for Jin Gook (because I seriously think the MiGook love line won't happen, but I so desperately want it to!) by watching variety shows and the likes which stars Taecyeon such as Family Outing 2 (not a big fan of Yoona-Taecyeon, but it's enough to get me through).
I apologize for the rant... I am just so desperate for my MiGook loveline!! I am seriously considering bribing someone at the production company just so this could happen...
I'm with you! :)
I'v been sold to HM-JG since Episode 1 despite all the sad cliches. XD
Hopefully, they'll end up together, but why did SD have to witness it?! Gahhh, my heart breaks for him. ;( I hope the haircut doesn't transform him into evil. NO NO NO. Heartbreak Possible loss of hearing = DO NOT WANT.
Hasn't the drama already shown signs that JG will get the girl? Fated meeting, half/naked in front of HM, all the moments, and usually doesn't the guy who does not admit his feelings first get the girl? I'm probably overanalyzing this. X/
Thank you for the pics! Excited for tomorrow! ;)
I'm a SamDong-HyeMi shipper.. but I can tell you in K Drama land, the rule is who get the first kiss will get the girl...
(as in having first kiss Scene that is)
So I'm sure you'll get your happy ending :)
The BOF story didn't count as that's originally Japanese :)
OMG!! I'm feeling somewhat better with your reassurances but I don't want to start my celebration party for Jin Gook just yet since I don't think I can handle it if he doesn't win the girl.
