Is Deam High really good? I'm still undecided whether I'll watch this. I have an impression that it's kinda like Glee and I don't watch that drama coz I find it too hyped up. Please tell me I'm wrong. :D

I remember watching an old interview of JGS on youtube and he was asked about his long hair and he said that it was for a movie that he was doing where he plays a dancer, I guess he's talking about KWP there.

I find it hard to swallow, too. Both K and J doramas are guilty. In J doramas, female characters are often patronized and belittled by their male counterparts. Often, they are cast as less-than-intelligent ankle biters to a "superior" male (who, of course, they are madly in love with). Ev...
