Dream High has not been as cracky for me this week, my raging addiction slowing down just as the drama took a turn for the moody. The two episodes this week seemingly revealed that MiGook is the end game by the ferris wheel kiss, and might be heralding that Sam Dong will be K since he got the K pendant from Hye Mi. Perhaps, but my personal opinion is otherwise. And it’s not because I’m a SamMi shipper. My theories after the jump.
Episode 12 written preview:
Teacher Kang returns to Kirin Arts High. Hye Mi can tell that Sam Dong has been very weird lately. Despite her attempts to get Sam Dong to talk to her, Sam Dong just says that he has no desire to stand on a showcase stage again. These words cause the Hye Mi who has always watched out for Sam Dong to feel depressed.
Principal Yoon wants Group K, which will be led by Jin Gook, to perform solo routines at the showcase. He also wants Baek Hee to perform the song she composed. Baek Hee, who plagiarized the composition, starts to fret, but she tells herself that it will all be fine….
Additional Spoilers:
During an interview this week for an entertainment program, Kim Soo Hyun and Suzy revealed that episode 13 will have a kiss between Hye Mi and Sam Dong. When they were filming, it was so hectic, so they didn’t have time to prepare thoroughly, and wonder how it will be shown since the kiss between Jin Gook and Hye Mi in episode 10 was very tame because of Suzy’s young age.
My Thoughts:
I still think that Jin Gook is Hye Mi’s first love, but she’ll end up with Sam Dong. I may be completely wrong, but at least I’m putting my theory out here. Why do I think this? I thought it even before knowing that SamMi is getting a kiss in episode 13 (I figured as much). After the ferris wheel kiss, NOTHING happened between MiGook. Also, getting MiGook together by episode 10 would deflate this drama tension faster than a 30 minute old soufflé.
I don’t know how the kiss been SamMi will unfold – forced kiss, chaste kiss, he kisses her, she kisses him, they kiss each other. AHHHH, my brain is melting at the thought of Kim Soo Hyun doing a kiss onscreen! Calm yourself, Koala, it’s unseeming to be so spastic.
DH is a very well-constructed high school drama, and its various student relationships all have compelling angles and relatable moments. Even insecure flower-pot-tossing-song-stealing-Baek Hee doesn’t seem as one-note evil anymore, with her bad behavior really dooming herself. I finally feel SAD for Baek Hee, because unlike Hye Mi, she doesn’t have any positive influences in her life. I really like all the characters in DH now, because they feel human, with their weaknesses and uncertainty that are age-appropriate. I can’t wait for how this drama will conclude as we head into the final stretch.

I was surprised that Jin-gook was barely in episode 11 at all! He was only on-screen for like, three minutes total the whole episode if I remember correctly. It was definitely a Sam-dong-centri episode, which I don't really have a problem with, since the developments are really interesting, and I kinda like this moodier, darker Sam-dong.
On the shipping front, I still don't know who to root for. I've been leaning more Migook direction (which, by the way, I still find that abbreviation hilarious, as it forms the Korean word for the United States - I don't know why but there you go), but I love how Hye-mi is stepping up and taking care of Sam-dong. Can't they just all three live as one big, happy family?
thanks koala. i'm enjoying DH very much (though not loving it)
i really don't care much about who will get HM, though i rather SD. specially since i noticed JG's ears
thanks for the spoiler. stalking does pay off ^_^
DH is still pretty cracktastic to me. and i'm almost savoring the emoness of ep 11. melodrama angst done right is something kdrama flopped for quite a while now, simple because very little of it was warranted. but the heartbreak SD is going through now is oh so good i didn't mind a bit of it. as someone who believed when there's a will, there's a way, SD was basically told there's no frapping way-for anything. he worked hard at his music pursuits, no result. he worked hard at his love pursuits, no result. so it has to take time for him to come to term with such news. and no, i don't think SD is in denial or pushing it too hard regarding HM either. she clearly kept him around which always raises hope. "you don't like me, but you don't dislike me either." classic WooU situation. (HM, you should take your own advice to Jason about giving people the wrong impression).
where was i? right, the angst. there has to be gloomy days for you to appreciate the sunny ones. as long as they don't dwell, which i doubt they will, i'm a happy camper.
DH is getting more & more intense!
and after reading all the possibilities on how the kiss will develop, i'm pinning my bets on a force kiss. when SD gently touched HM's face in ep 11, i almost thought he was gonna force kiss her right at that moment. he seems to be telling her "i tried leaving you, but you came back. now, don't blame me, because i'm not gonna stop until i make you mine".
i can't wait for the next ep, koala! :D
thanks ockoala!!!
what?! samdong and hye mi will kiss in episode 13?!
wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
my SamMi heart is having palpitations!
and really kim soo hyun kissing on screen?!
can be episode 13 came faster than the lighting bolt?!
im just so happy with all the dynamics dream high is presenting!
it gets better and better every episode and im loving it!
hope for more great episodes ahead!
see yah on monday!
Yep.I’m loving it too even dark emo angst ep 11 where I tend to hate that kind of ep.idk if its because KSH deliver it or how they put the storyline background of emo or is it both?anyway it is make sense and I’m not rolling my eyes nor fumes watching it unlike MP or MSOAN ep of angst (but I survive MSOAN because of geungeun)
why now I don’t wan SD with HM because that girl somehow dun know her own feeling and other esp I don’t want her to be with SD out of pity.I believe K is SD,why?at early ep where K held a show it got huge breaking news..hmm if its JG then why in ep11 no longer scene of him and he just kissed the girl?K is big because despite he can’t hear,in future,but he can sing,dance,compose music very well so thats why I believe he is K,the next big thing.
Absolutely loving Dream High. Especially Episode 11, watching Sam Dong unable to deal with the news about his hearing was so moving and completely realistic. Completely confused who Hye Mi will end up with now, I was completely convinced it was Jin Gook but now I'm not so sure! Did find it a little strange that JG and HM had no scenes together after their kiss though.
I wonder when we will find out what really happened between Teacher Kang and HM's mum? It's been hinted that her father isn't completely trustworthy. I hope this topic is addressed, would be a really interesting (and emotional) scene between Kang and HM...
Ah! Sam Dong is breaking my heart. I am not sure what couple I am shipping, I am only sure sure that I want Sam Dong to be breath-takingly happy.Is that too much to ask? Well, and a bit more of the wonderful sweetness that id Pil-Suk and Jason. Hmmmm. This drama seems well constructed so far, and feels almost like high school; it makes me so glad that my HS days over!
I don´t think sam dong is K cause they say that K is this international singer who was taught by the director (actor from winter sonata) and that´s why the director is so famous, non of the people in DH now are being taught by him. And in the first episode the person that they show for K is the actor from boys over flowers. What the media is trying to figure out in the first episode is who will be the next K, .... so in the end, one or some of the main actors will either become as internationally famouse as K or maybe even more! From what we left off in ep 11 I believe that Hye mi will not joing the group K beause of what it will do to baek hee and in the end of course hye mi and sam dong and pil suk will be the one´s who become the most famouse for sure. Maybe Jason, Jin gook and baekhee will also become part of the new group (in the end) and they become famouse together, the 6 of them....MAYBE.....
MiGook won't end up together because their from the same entertainment company. Its a fact, they just won't. It would cause to much opportunity for scandal rumors. Sadly, real life does affect the drama world. SamMi fans can happily expect their future love scenes:)
