Oops so sorry I just realized that Rizz only made brief articles about 2011 KBS Drama Awards. She didn’t cover the other winners. So let me make this article longer to show the other winners.

The event was held at night on December 31st. Many actors and actresses came to that big event. That night Jeon Hyeon Moo, Han Hye Jin, and Joo Won got the duty as the MCs. They did their job very well, especially for Joo Won, even though it’s new for him. He could handle the event, and actually the seonbae-deul always helped him.

As we know before that KBS’s on going drama “Brain” got highly attention from the public recently due to the story and of course the actors, so i think it’s really proper if Shin Han Kyun who plays as Doctor   Lee Kang Hoon on that drama got the highest prize, the Daesang Award, Rizz already made article about these before.

Actually, Park Shi Hoo also was predicted to get the Daesang Award for his acting on “Princess’s Man”. But he had give up to Shin Han Kyun. He wasn’t too sad that night because he’s honored Top Excellence Actor Award alongside his co-worker on Princess’s Man, Moon Chae Won who got Top Excellence Actress.

On his speech, Park Shi Hoo talked about his career during 2011. He felt really fortunate, and got the award made him closer to his goals, and he promise in 2012 he would continue to become a better actor. He thanked his family, his company and of course his fans. Meanwhile, Moon Chae Won was really grateful about “Princess’s Man” at first this drama had so many trouble during the production, but it turned out that the drama was really success. Then what made her happier was the fact the she could get that award, she was glad that her hard work was paid off.

Soon, Ji Yeon will come back on acting. Her name has been confirmed on the cast list for the most anticipated sequel drama “Dream High 2”.  Actually, she’s following Eun Jung’s step, her band mate, Eun Jung played on Dream High.

She knows she’s busy promoting T-ara’s new album in Korea and also overseas, but she still accepted the offer to act in this musical drama. She’s so exited acting on Dream High 2, because she recalls  about her days as a trainee. She will sing and dance on this drama.

So far i think her acting ability looks good. I saw her on “God of Study”, she looked so cute as a student along side Yoo Seung Ho there. In “Dream High 2” she will also play as student on art school, but this time she might appear more mature.  And reportedly, Hyo Rin (SISTAR) and Jung Jin Woong from 2AM will join her. This idols’s drama planned to be airing on January 30, at KBS2.

Recently she appears on T-ara’s long MV (15 minutes duration), “Cry Cry” alongside with Cha Seung Won. Frankly, i don’t like seeing her too close with Cha Seung Won…but i admit her acting is pretty good in that video. Please check her acting in the MV below!

Dream High group was facing a problem that they might not be able to release their debut soon. It’s because they had Baek Hee and Jin Guk, whom the public still talk about regarding their scandal with their previous director. Baek Hee and Jin Guk said the rest of the group should go on without them, but everyone disagree. They had to stick together.

Hye Mi got more confused with her own feelings. She got awkward everytime Sam Dong approached her in a very friendly gesture. She asked Pil Sook what could be happening to her feelings, how could she know who’s the person she really liked. Pil Sook just said what she had said before, and then Jason interrupted. He said Hye Mi had to draw the line seriously. She couldn’t confuse two hearts, she had to decide whom her heart belonged to. We know that Hye Mi always hoped it was Jin Guk, but actually her heart called for Sam Dong. She tried to convince herself that Sam Dong was just a friend…but let’s see how hard could she try.

Hye Mi and Baek Hee had an idea how they could draw people’s attention to Dream High. They planned to make a public scene. They “persuaded” (with various kinds of tricks) their friends at Kirin to help them with their plan. There was this one weirdly clumsy photographer who put his eye on Dream High activity. We still didn’t know what he was up to.

Later that night, Sam Dong approached Jin Guk to tell him he’s giving up on Hye Mi. He said what really mattered to him was Hye Mi’s presence by his side no matter whom her heart fell into. He didn’t care if Hye Mi turned out to really like Jin Guk and hated him, as long as she wasn’t going to US. Jin Guk stayed quite when Sam Dong spoke. When Sam Dong asked him what’s with that look he had for him, Jin Guk only said “Rrrr, you seem to never change, always make people has a goosebumps.”

Hye Mi’s dad was starting to be supportif, though he’s still proceeding his plan to bring his daughter to US. Until that night he caught in an argument with Kang Oh Seon that he finally knew what really happened to his late wife and what Oh Yeok had done for his family. He wept all night, and Oh Yeok finally explained to him the real story.

The public scene really worked. Yang Jin Man acted as the front line. He caught everyone’s attention when he stopped in the middle of a crowd, turned on Dream High’s song, and started to dance. The Dream High members and “appointed” Kirin students disguised as regular passers by slowly, one by one, joined him dancing.

Go Byung Jik was watching his happy daughter danced with her friends. Oh Yeok spoke to him about Hye Mi’s hard process to get to this point. Her friends played a big part in her improvement.

Kang Oh Yeok and Ms. Shi were excitedly watching the on-line video of Dream High’s public scene the other day when they accidently kissed. They turned awkward after that, but Ms.Shi suddenly changed into a cute cheeky girl. More hilariously, Principal Shi had to witness all that with his own eyes.

The Dream High got a chance to on the stage! That’s a big news. Kang Oh Yeok delivered them to Sam Dong, Hye Mi and Jin Guk…and the three instantly hold each other and celebrated it. It took awhile for Hye Mi to realize that she’s holding Sam Dong ;p

Everyone was happy, but also very nervous about their first time being on tge big stage to promote their debut album. Jason had to comfort Pil Sook. Jin Guk was trying to have a little chit chat with Sam Dong when he found out that Sam Dong hearing was badly degrade. Sam Dong couldn’t even hear what he just said. Hye Mi then found out about it and truned to be very worry. But Sam Dong insisted that he’s okay and anyone shouldn’t worry about him.

The showcase went successful.

Hye Mi was carrying some laundry down stairs when Sam Dong offered her a hand. It turned out that Hye Mi had been avoiding him. However, Sam Dong caught her and took the laundry from her hand. That’s when her wallet dropped under the stair without her notice. Jin Guk came out and asked her out. The awkward Hye Mi instantly said yes and hurriedly went out with him. Just before Jin Guk’s motorbike ready to go, Hye Mi realized she had lost her wallet.

Sam Dong coincidently found Hye Mi’s wallet under the stairs. He opened it and saw the Dream High group picture in it. What he didn’t see it coming was when he was about to take out the Dream High picture, he was his own photograph beneath it! What the…?

Oh My God. So it was officially announced to whom Hye Mi’s heart fell. And that, everyone, was a very handsome picture of Sam Dong . Go Hye Mi…gotcha!

Hye Mi freaked out seeing Sam Dong holding her wallet. She asked him if he opened it and saw something. Sam Dong acted very well, as if he never saw anything so shockingly made him happy.

Jin Guk brought Hye Mi to their memorable place. It was the first time Jin Guk saw Hye Mi cried and he put on a helmet on her head. He did the same thing this time. It was on that spot Hye Mi finally told him about her true feelings, and Jin Guk support her as a friend and as a gentleman whose heart fell for her.

Kang Oh Yeok was summoned to the principal office because the announcement for students who succeeded to go on to the EMC audition had arrived. Principal Shi then said that if not because her daughter was in love with him, he wouldn’t Oh Yeok got away. Kang Oh Yeok was so surprise. “D-d-did you say Ms. Shi in love with me? Really?”

Kang Oh Yeok got two good news on the same day: all the Dream High members succeeded to go to the next audition of EMC and Ms. Shi was in love with him.  The students was very nervous about the announcement.

At first they didn’t believe that all their names were written on that announcement letter, but when Oh Yeok showed them and confirmed that he wasn’t joking around, the kids couldn’t hold their emotion of happiness.

Ms. Shi shared her feelings of proud to the kids with Oh Yeok. Felt like all their hard works paid off. They just one step away from fulfilling their biggest dream. The chosen two talents who were successful on the up coming audition were going to US to start working on their first album there.

Oh Yeok then made his move to ask Ms.Shi out for dinner…

The director of EMC turned out to be the clumsy photographer. That’s a little surprise. Everyone was so excited and very nervous. No one would let go of the chance go to US to make his/her dream came true. Even Sam Dong who said, “I think being the best was a going to be lonely and hard. However, I still want to be the best and will never let the chance go.”

And so the audition started. Everyone prayed and did for their best.

The country boy who was introduced to his dream by Hye Mi…

Pil Sook who hoped for the best…

Jason: “Is it my time already? I said, IS IT MY TIME?”

Jin Guk who never believe there such a thing as a foolish dream…so everydream was worth it and valuable.

Baek Hee who still believed that she had always been the special kid eversince her mother was carrying her.

Hye Mi, who always be confident…she said she thought she knew how the story would end…

2018.

The soft Pil Sook’s voice singing lullaby brought us to the future. We could see her wall of fame. She became IU and was very successful with all the trophies and albums… but she ended up there, singing a lullaby for some kids who were sleeping peacefully. She turned out to be a kindergarten teacher. She gained her weight again, but she’s very happy. And yes, Jason was still attached to her like he always had been. He became a professional entertainer and still got the spot light. He asked Pil Sook to go to the special concert that night.

They both still in love and happy. The big question was…”did they end up married or what?” I wished they made it more obvious about our most favourite and adorable couple .

Yoon Baek Hee became the second Ms. Shi. She was a teacher at Kirin and was the strict one. She made her new students did the 200-pins-picking-in-5-minutes activity just like Ms. Shi did to her.

Ms. Shi became the Art Director at Kirin, while Oh Yeok was still a teacher. But we found out that they ended up married and had a daughter named Min Hee.

Until this stage I still guessed that Jin Guk was the K singer who was performing at the Grammy Awards. He was a very successful singer. He had released some successful albums at home country and abroad. And Ma Doo Shik was still as his manager.

Ma Doo Shik ran a happy life. He got a successful star like Jin Guk and a happy family with Kang Oh Seon.

Jin Guk came back to Korea to attend this special concert at night, just like what Jason had said to Pil Sook. So it had to be their first reunion after a very long time… And then Jin Guk saw the news about the Korean singer performing on Grammy and about his dad.

So the singer K was actually…Sam Dong. We could tell from the tuning fork. And from the soundless background, we kind of knew that he lived in a quite world, even though he was the world class singer then.

The scene went flashback, to the time when Sam Dong was about to leave for US. He refused to leave because he didn’t want to leave Hye Mi, while Hye Mi insisted him on going. He said Hye Mi was always his reason in music. “Without you, there’s no music,” he assured Hye Mi.

Hye Mi then asked him to free her from worrying him. She wanted him to show her that he could be independent and be the cool and handsome guy who stole her heart. Hye Mi was sending him away even though it hurt her. She wanted him to make his dream come true.

And so Sam Dong left.

The future K singer was ready to go on stage. Everybody was calling out his name. But this singer heard nothing. And he did a brave thing, he took off his hearing aid and gave it to the stage director. That man asked him, “Are you sure about it?” With a big smile on his face, Sam Dong answered, “I always am.”

The future in Korea, at the very same time… it turned out to be Hye Mi’s concert everyone was talking about. She became a very famous singer. (didn’t she look like Yoon Eun Hye to you?). Hye Mi was made a brief speech before her song. She said this song was very special, dearly dedicated for someone very special in her heart. And when I heard the intro for “Only Hope”, I knew she was talking about Sam Dong. She then sang the song beautifully…

All her old friends were there: Baek Hee, the couple Jason-Pil Sook, Kang Oh Yeok and Ms. Shi, Yang Jin Man…

Jin Gook watched from afar. A highschool girl played a trick to kiss him. He made the “who she thinks she is dares to kiss a star like me without my permission” look on his face. The girl said hello, “It’s been a long time, oppa.” And then she showed him her name: Go Hye Seong.

Jin Guk: “Is it really you, Hye Seong-a?” And if I may continue the line, i’d add, “how could you turn to be such a pretty girl??”

And we back again to the 2011 Sam Dong and Hye Mi. Sam Dong was already on the bus. It took Hye Mi some moment to assure herself about what she really need to do that very moment. So she ran after the bus, just like Sam Dong did when Hye Mi was leaving for Seoul on their first sweet moments. The bus stopped. Hye Mi knocked on Sam Dong’s window.

She put the special K pendant around Sam Dong’s neck wihout saying anything. And then Sam Dong reached out for her face. And then they kissed.

And the drama was officially over. It has a sweet ending and has given us a very good and memorable show. I really hope Bae Yeong Joon and Park Jin Yeong will consider to make Dream High 2…. so we’ll know what really happened in between 2011 and 2018.

Thanks for following my writing…i’ll see you in the next project

Ma Doo Shik officially recruited Sam Dong and three ex-K group. Sam Dong’s self esteem was high. He asked Jin Guk about their competition and said that he was ready to have a fair man to man competition.

Hye Mi was overwhelmed by her own feelings. She was confused which one of the boys she really liked, Jin Guk or Sam Dong? So when Sam Dong called her from the other side of the bridge, she ran. Sam Dong caught up with her and asked why she fled. Ridiculously Hye Mi said she was just exercising.

Kang Oh Yeok got a shocking surprise as soon as he arrived at home. The fact that Go Byung Jik was standing right in front of him was very overwhelming. Hye Seong was very excited having her dad around, while Hye Mi…she welcomed her dad with some soft punches. Seeing his daughters lived with a couple of boys, he got concern. He told Oh Yeok he’s bringing his daughters to the US. Hye Mi deserved to continue her dream in classical music…to Julliard. Mr.Go insisted they’re staying at the hotel until all the required documents were completed. Oh Yeok was letting Hye Mi go because all he wanted was the best for her, but he successfully persuaded Mr.Go to stay overnight. The boys had to share their bedroom with Hye Mi’s dad.

Jin Guk wasn’t asking Hye Mi to stay either. He congratulated her instead. He said finally she could reach her dream and he’s happy for her. Hye Mi just thanked him cheerfully.

Unlike Jin Guk, Sam Dong asked her to stay…he needed her to stay, but he didn’t know what kind of reason he had to make. Hye Mi was listening to him from behind the door. I bet her heart was beating fast.

Go Byung Jik woke his daughters in the middle of the night. He brought them out of Oh Yeok’s house. I thought it’s gonna be a hotel like he said…but reality wasn’t that sweet. He’s not yet a successful person again, though couldn’t be said as pennyless, so instead of bringing them to the hotel, he made them sleep at sauna house.

The boys were panic, where they should find Hye Mi. They looked for her here and there. Sam Dong looked very desperate. He said he needed to find her immediately because he seemed unable to breathe if she’s gone. Hye Mi was actually taking her time alone walking around the city and ended up at school. Bek Hee met her at the gate.

Ma Doo Shik had prepared a song for the new group’s debut. He got the old song, and Oh Yeok was inspired to combine it with the song Sam Dong composed. Ms.Shi said Sam Dong had named it Dream High. Ma Doo Shik then agreed to make that as the group name.

Go Byung Jik confronted Oh Yeok at school thinking he was the one who persuaded Hye Mi to go. He bursted put saying “After you seduced my wife and made her leave without a word, now you want to take my daughter too?” Ms. Shi was shocked by the news. Ma Doo Shik soon brought up the old debt issue he still owed him. Oh Yeok told Hye Mi not to worry about the debt and just go to US with her dad, and they could just stay at Kang residence before their flight. Kang Oh Yeok really had an angel heart!! Mr.Go should have had ashame on that, but he all he knew was taking away his daughter to US to study classical music again, but then he agreed to stay at the Kang residence while they’re waiting for the documents were ready.

ksljkfsofiidgh

Ms.Shi was sad that Oh Yeok could be such a man who dared to seduced a married woman. But she still had a faith in him. There had to be something wrong with that news. Yang Jin Man tried to make her heart sway, but he failed.

Hye Mi went out rounding about the town again. Jin Guk finally found her on the street crossing. Why it’s always at the street crossing for their meeting spot? Anyway, Hye Mi was trying to figure out what to so. Should she stay or should she go. Jin Guk told her to just follow her heart and he would support her whatever her decision was.

Jason made Pil Sook invited to be the guest for a TV show. She was so cute and did great. But Jason was so worry when he found out that they’re bringing up Pil Sook old image as an extra-large girl. Surprisingly, she handled it very well. She didn’t freak out, she went along with the topic. When the presenter asked, “how big was it 84 kg?” Pil Sook cutely pointing the bear and said, “it’s probably about that big.”

And that’s everyone, was the “i’m proud of you” expression Jason had on his face.

Jason and Pil Sook went to this beautiful building to talk. Pil Sook said she felt grateful to be in Kirin, despite her old condition. She passed the audition, met some good friends…and also met him. Jason then said there’s actually one person who still liked the fat Pil Sook.

He finally showed Pil Sook whose picture he had as his home screen cell phone. It’s her! it turned out that Jason had been keeping the fat Pil Sook picture. Ooooohhh…

Jason then teased her by pretending to lean forward to kiss her, but instead he kissed the doll. Pil Sook protested and left, but Jason made her stay.

Ouughh Jason! He just had a gut to kiss her nose?!! are you a man or what? Then it made Pil Sook shot the right action.

Hye Mi demanded the truth from Oh Yeok about her mom. She didn’t believe if Oh Yeok did really seduce her, so she asked if her mom was just a bitch. Oh Yeok finally told the truth. Hye Mi’s mom was very sick and she didn’t want to make her love ones suffer. So when she met her foolish old friend -the friend who was one sided love with her for years- she asked him to help her pretend to be a bad mother and wife, so then the family would move on easily after she gone. So then we knew that foolish guy was Oh Yeok and yes he was really an angel. And thankfully, Ms.Shi heard everything….

Sam Dong asked Jin Guk to hold on to Hye Mi to make her stay. He just didn’t care if Hye Mi’s heart was only for Jin Guk because what matter was her presence around him. He said he didn’t have any reason to ask her stay, but he couldn’t let her go.

The next day the Go Family was ready to go. Sam Dong didn’t come out to say goodbye. Hye Mi was still in doubt. It took awhile for Sam Dong to realize that he couldn’t just stay and not saying goodbye. For Sam Dong, Hye Mi was not only the girl he liked, she also the key person who brought him the light to let him to see what his dream was. She deceived him to come to Kirin, but it’s nothing to regret for Sam Dong. Whatever made him he was that far, it all thanked to Hye Mi. But he had to see her for the last time, so he ran…

He thought the bus was leaving, so he tried to run after it, but he failed. When he started to cry -almost- histerically, Hye Mi came from behind saying she’s not leaving. Hye Mi asked her father to let her finish working on their debut. It’d take one month and then she’d go.

The Dream High members and management were ready for their first album. Everyone worked hard.  The students practiced hard. Yang Jin Man and Ms. Shi guided them for choreography and song composition. Ma Doo Shik was busy making the album and promoted it to the TV station. So everyone was ready to make his/her dream came true…

One more episode to go…we’re gonna miss this drama. Taecyeon had already saying goodbye to his character, Jin Guk, yesterday…so they had wrapped up the drama officially. We’ll see tomorrow how it’ll end. Hopefully it’s giving us interesting surprises that will make this drama stay in our mind for along time. Have a nice weekend everyone .

Sam Dong sang his song in false note. Everyone started to wishper to each other and Sam Dong realized there’s something wrong, but he couldn’t much because his hearing was impaired. Hye Mi took an action. She went up to the balcony that faced the stage and helped Sam Dong by giving sign in what note he had to sing each line. So thanks to Hye Mi, he was saved.

Kang Oh Yeok and Hye Mi went to the doctor to get a clear explanation about Sam dong’s condition. The boy was suffered for tinnitus…it’s a hearing damaged symptom, and what applied to Sam Dong was a hearing loss.

The showcase resulted Jin Guk as the lucky one who got a solo debut with his self-composed song, “My Valentine”. Among so many garlands presented for him, he found one from Hyeon Moo Jin, his dad.

Hye Mi gave Sam Dong a tuning fork. She said it’d help him getting the right pitch.

Pil Sook was doing excellent in recognizing the key note, pitch, at the music class. Sam Dong looked envy and curious at the same time. That’s why after the class, he asked Pil Sook to meet somewhere to teach him about the pitch. Jason looked curious and displease. He asked Hye Mi what were the two going to do alone? Hye Mi coldly smirked and said, “Ask him yourself.”

During the lunch Yoon Baek Hee found no body wanted to be near her. She’s a public enemy then. They bad mouthed her behind her back. Hye Mi suddenly came as a companion. She did what Jin Guk once did to help her coping up with the situation when everybody hated her: the song-less earphone…I think the best and nice idea someone could do to help another who deserted by others.

Baek Hee couldn’t stop pittying herself. Ms.Shi approached her not to scold her, but to apologize for being such a bad teacher and told her that she would always support her. She said everybody would experience the downs in their lives, but there’s always the way to go up again.

Jason was upset and made other people got the nerves on him. He was curious and upset about Pil Sook being alone with Sam Dong somewhere, but still tried to push it away by listening to music on a public music corner. He took it on and off several times, ignoring a long queue behind him.

Just look at In Seong’s expression.

Jason couldn’t take it anymore, so he went to see what’s really going on at that secluded classroom. However, Hye Mi got him sneaking around and asked, “Why are you here?”

Jason lied, “Oh nothing, I just on my way to the library.”

With a naughty smile Hye Mi enthusiastically said, “Oh really? I wanna go there, too. So, let’s go together!” Then she dragged him along, but he found himself a way out.

Ma Doo Shik he’s interested in promoting Hye Mi and Pil Sook. The school didn’t recommend him those girls. Ms. Maeng said that netizen would starightly attack Pil Sook 80-something-kg history while Hye Mi had a very bad behavior. Only Yang Jin Man who speak out his objection.

So there they were…at KBS Radio superjunior program where LeeTeuk and Eun Hyuk as the DJs. Pil Sook was just so lovely, while Hye Mi still with her apathetic face. Ree Ah called the program pretending to be a loyal fan, but she brought up about Pil Sook over weight condition back then. Hye Mi who recognized that witch’s voice couldn’t hold her nerves…the DJs were panic

Ma Doo Shik kind of protested to Oh Yeok for his students’ bad behavior…Kang Oh Yeok innocently just said, “Oh, you knew these kids before, so you should’ve known this kind of thing would happen.”

Kang Oh Yeok suggested Sam Dong to use the tuning fork to remember the tone through the vibration instead of the sound. He just need to remember the basist pitch then the rest would follow, imagine it like a tree branch.

Jin Guk paid a visit to his dad. Hyeon Moo Jin was getting softer. He denied sending the garland, but he did show some care to Jin Guk and also wore the watch he had given him back then.

Jin Guk called Hye Mi out. She congratulated him with her usual plain face as usual and Jin Guk protested that. “You should smile when you congratulate your friend.” Hye Mi said that’s just exactly the way she congratulated friends (without a smile). But when Jin Guk told her that his father congratulated him, Hye Mi did smile.

Jin Guk and Hye Mi were pinching each other’s cheek when Sam Dong passed by on his way back home. He congratulated Jin Guk sincerely. Sam Dong was back to the person we’ve known…he’s no longer the dark Sam Dong.

Not long after Jin Guk left, a breaking news telling that Hyeon Shi Hyeok was behind the bars for hitting his manager, Director Hyoon. Kang Oh Yeok came to pick him up at the police station. He asked him what really made him hit that person. Jin Guk didn’t say anything. Meanwhile, the cctv recording was showed on TV…Jin Guk was really hitting his manager.

Hyeon Moo Jin was concerned. But it’s good that he didn’t believe Jin Guk would do such a thing without any reason.

The public was mean, the netizen had no mercy for Jin Guk. They straightly attacked him anywhere. They even changed the “Baker King Kim Tak Gu” poster into “Violent King Hyeon Shi Hyeok”. Ah Jeong spread the rumor that Baek Hee also got a hit on her eyes on the first showcase where back then she had the star shaped painting around her eyes. In Seong didn’t stay quite listening to those crazy rumours. The Group K members were also mean to Jin guk by saying bad things about him that it bugged Jason and made him shouted, “That’s enough, stop it!” (in English).

Hyeon Moo Jin visited Jin Guk at Kang residence. He tried to make Jin Guk confessed of what actually happened. However, Jin Guk refused to tell him anything.

Sam Dong tried to support Jin Guk in his own way. He told Jin Guk to stop acting that he’s the unluckiest person on earth. He told him to get out of his self-pitty pretty soon and started all over again because he didn’t want to compete with a weak competition. Sam Dong was talking about winning Hye Mi’s heart. He told Jin Guk about his hearing damage which made their condition equal so Jin Guk wouldn’t have any more excuse to stay in despair.

Aha, this is my most favourite part! It was at lunch time at school when Pil Sook just stepped on the canteen hall when she overheard Jason saying “Miss you, love you” with another woman…someone named Julia if I wasn’t mistaken.

Pil Sook was upset, but didn’t say anything. She sat at a distance from Jason. However, this guy saw her and then approached her. With an excuse as a responsible senior to junior, he advised her not to be alone with any man in an enclosed classroom never again because it’d trigger a bad rumour. Pil Sook attacked him back by telling that saying “miss you, love you” to a certain girl on the phone on public could also trigger a rumour. Jason asked was that an advice or a jealosy expression. Pil Sook asked him back the same question.

Jason suggested them to tell the real thing at the same time after the count to three. but when he hit the three, no one said anything. The upset Jason left the table, leaving the upset Pil Sook.

However, it was within seconds Jason was back. He sat next to Pil Sook and said, “Okay. Yes, I was jealous. So what about you?” I couldn’t hold my scream when Pil Sook innocently said, “I was jealous, too.” Oooohhh, they reminded me of how sweet a high school romance could be…

The music class hold a pitch test. Everyone random picked a lyric they had to sing duet. Jason was disappointed finding out he had to sing with Hye Mi instead of Pil Sook. They sang alright, but the result wasn’t perfect. Ms. Shi told them they still made some mistakes.

Pil Sook got a chance to sing together with Sam Dong. Jin Man and Oh Yeok were very nervous watching from outside the classroom. However, surprisingly, they both made a perfect score! No false pitch at all! Just look at how Yang Jin Man dropped his jaw.

Jin Guk was about to leave after Sam Dong finished singing, but Sam Dong caught him up. He told Jin Guk to get back to his best performance soon because he wouldn’t be waiting long (to win Hye Mi’s heart). Then he handed over the lucky pendant to Jin Guk. He said it had worked for him so it Jin Guk’s turn to have it.

Hye Mi spotted Baek Hee acting weird. She seemed to lose herself. She’s in a great despair. She was depress. Baek Hee went upstair and -I think- attempted suicide. Hye Mi came in the right time. She asked Baek Hee what made her in great despair. Baek Hee then said that Jin Guk hit Director Hyoon to protect her. She felt terribly guilty.

I’m getting like this drama very much. It offered me quite many new things and idea, and a great curiousity for Jason and Pil Sook relationship.

And please don’t turn off your TV till the very end. You’ll see Taecyeon, as Hyeon Shi Hyeok, sing at the Music Bank “his debut” song “My Valentine”. Okay, I have to admit that I was wrong doubting Taecyeon singing ability. He really can sing. But don’t expect it to be a great vocal like 2Am Chang Min or his 2PM mate WooYeong or Kim Soo Hyun. It’s a nice song, though, with a so-so-but-nice original vocal of Taecyeon.

Hye Mi decided to refuse the offerings. She didn’t sign the contract and told Baek Hee not to worry she’s taking her spot. Jin Guk was the most disappointed one by Hye Mi’s decision. They’re so close to their dream of being on stage together to hand in hand reaching their dreams. I think it’s not that Hye Mi didn’t want it, but she valued her friendship with Baek Hee more.

Kang Oh Yeok was facing the teacher recruitment test. All the three nominees had to present the best teaching in front of a class of students and some judges. However, when it came to Oh Yeok’s turn, Principal Shi came with all the school boards and dismissed the students. He thought Oh Yeok would drop, but he was wrong. He was officially re-recruited as Kirin’s teacher. Jin Guk and Hye Mi welcomed him back cheerfully.

Ms. Shi was drunk, pittying herself for being such a terrible teacher that had led her student (Baek Hee) went too far breaking the rule. When she confronted Baek Hee about the “unoriginal” song composition issue, Baek Hee attacked her back that Ms. Shi was actually her inspiration. I don’t know why she asked Kang Oh Yeok to come along.

And here’s what I was talking about. Kang Oh Seon’s love life. She was actually drinking at the same bar with Ms. Shi, and when she was going back home, she’s definitely drunk. She met this one fine man out side the station. He’s young and good looking and he’s very nice that he even offered to walk her home. He gave Oh Seon his wool shawl when she complained about being cold and snowy. For you to know, the music scoring was taken from Winter Sonata…I think it was “From the Beginning until now”?

The man walked her back home. Oh Seon was losing herself that she went to kiss him passionately. However, when the truth was revealed for the audience………the fine young man turned out to be Ma Doo Shik all that time! The PD succeeded to fool us all.

Ma Doo Shik was surprised finding out that Kang Oh Seon was actually Kang Oh Yeok’s sister.

The shocking experience was very emotional for Ma Doo Shik. I think it’s called “Love Attack” . He thought it had to be a destiny, everything that happened to him started from Hye Mi’s father matter until the fake showcase. Everything was connected…and it led him to Kang Oh Seon.

Therefor, he instantly, at that very moment, decided to close down his night club and stop being “the mob”. He’s starting a new and legal business…

Pil Sook asked In Seong to take a picture of her for showcase profile. Jason came and annoyed them. He started to dislike seeing any other boys around Pil Sook. With an excuse that cellphone camera wouldn’t give her the best result, he took Pil Sook’s hand and took her to a professional photographer.

This couple is just so cute. Pil Sook was a little shy to come out wearing a costume. Jason said, “Why? It’s just me.” And when Pil Sook went out with her angel outfit…I could see there’s a change in Jason’s expression. His face kind of telling us that inside his head he said, “Oh..you’re so damn cute Pil Sook”

The photographer came and said, “You bring a pretty girl here…so who’s the girl in your phone wallpaper?” Jason didn’t say anything about it, but Pil Sook seemed to be curious.

Look at Jason’s expression watching her making pose.

Kirin School was having another showcase at the end of holiday class term. Each student will go solo. The K group member can choose which class they wanted to join (Ms. Shi or Oh Yeok). Jin Guk and Jason definitely chosed Mr. Kang’s class and surprisingly, Baek Hee chose his class too.

Kang Oh Yeok was more than pleased to see there’re three more students in his class and they got a real class! Well, Sam Dong wasn’t around yet, but he must be in this class too. Yang Jin Man was still neglected to publicly help Oh Yeok, so he gave instruction through phone call (to Oh Yeok’s phone) while he sat right out side the class.  He told the kids to play “Why you come to our home” game. [I don’t know if you know this game or not, but I used to play this kind of game when I was in elementary school].

Meanwhile, Sam Dong was getting dark. He’s about turning to be Dart Vader. Oooh, i hate seeing him with that sharp look. He’s pushing himself away from his friends,while his heart screamed for the other way.

Hye Mi was cleaning the floor at Kang’s residence when she found Sam Dong’s medical report. She found out Sam Dong’s hearing damage and felt terribly guilty. She asked Sam Dong for forgiveness because what happened to Sam Dong was the result of the hit on his head when he protected Hye Mi long ago. Hye Mi asked if it could be fixed, Sam Dong told her it couldn’t. She broke down and cried. Oh Yeok came and saw the scene. Hye Mi desperately said, “Teacher, please help us.” Suzy’s acting was getting better. She touched my heart with that plead.

Pil Sook found a cellphone on a table at the canteen. The other girls said it was Jason, he must have forgotten it. Pil Sook kept it safe and then recalled what the photographer said at the other day. Jason had a picture of a girl as his home screen picture. She’s so curious to see who that girl was.

She tried to push that naughty thought away and kept eating, but the temptation was too great to resist…

And when Pil Sook just about to unlock the phone…Jason came and grabbed it. “Did you or did you not see the home screen picture??” demanded Jason. Pil Sook said no, Jason looked relieved and left.

Actually I always wonder about whether or not Taecyeon can really sing like other 2PM vocalist. Well, he became the rapper not with no reason right? He did sing here, in this particular scene…but still, I was disappointed. While Wooyeong or Soo Hyun always sing live with piano…Taecyeon didn’t.

Sam Dong relived the moment when he first step his feet into Kirin and compare it with his present condition. That time he was a country boy with messy hair who came to Kirin because Hye Mi had seduced him and then he found his dream. Meanwhile at the present, he had become a cool boy with a great talent as a musician..but all his dream was about to fall apart.

And then he saw his friends. They’re still in full spirit and shining. He then decided to come to the class. Yang Jin Man was acting strange. He still didn’t want the public know he’s helping Oh Yeok’s class…well, yeah, organizationally he’s just an English teacher, not a dance/music teacher.

Yang Jin Man helped the students in choreography and helped Sam Dong in singing.

The day of the showcase had came. Ma Doo Shik came to Kirin School as an entertainment agent. He even showed Principal Shi his company certificate.

Ma Doo Shik coming to the showcase was an unfortunate event for Kang Oh Seon. She was covering the news, Kirin’s showcase, when she met Mr. Ma. Ma Doo Shik was more than happy to tell her about what happened between them in that snowy night. Kang Oh Seon was in a full shock.

Ms. Shi talked to Baek Hee at the backstage. She told her that what she did was wrong and she couldn’t cheat the audience. And a disaster happened when Baek Hee was performing backstage. She made the mistake and she had to pay it through a very hard way.

Sam Dong’s turn to go on the stage was next. Hye Mi had told him not to push himself too much if it’s just gonna hurt him more. Sam Dong still insisted to go. And when he’s on the stage…everything sounded so far away…

I really can’t wait to write the summary/recap for episode 13. Jason and Pil Sook, aaaahhh…

It’s a gloomy world for Song Sam Dong. His character kept developing. He used to be an innocent talented kid, then he became a genius Kirin student who had a lot of dreams…and here, in this episode, he turned to be someone else. His world was falling apart. He lost Hye Mi, soon would lose his hearing, and the worst of all, he’s losing his dream.

Sam Dong went to the doctor to check on his troubled hearing. The doc said he’d gradually lose his hearing. I think it was the side effect from the injury he had when protecting Hye Mi.

This nice guy turned into the “Black” Sam Dong instantly. He’s broken hearted, losing hope, lonely and so much in pain. He was even crying in the middle of the crowd.

Kang Oh Yeok submitted his resignation, but he asked Principal Shi to keep his promise to make the three Half-Admission students became regular students. For Mr. Shi, he’d much prefer seeing no more Oh Yeok at school than having the three talented kids in the regular class.

Hye Mi was invited to come to Group K management. She was offered a beneficial contract where she’d become one of the group K members. The cool Hye Mi had to bumped herself to the wall to assure her that she’s not dreaming. And when she asked for Oh Yeok’s opinion, the teacher supported whatever best for her, but he told her to think about it carefully before signing the contract.

Meanwhile, Sam Dong still struggling with his turning-up-side-down life. A loud music from an underground club attracted him. So there he was, trying to absorb as much sound as he could. Even in that very noisy place, he heard only a small volume of sound. His hearing was definitely degrading.

He stayed in the club after the performance. Apparently In Seong had a part time job there and tried to talk to Sam Dong what happened to him and why he’s not going home. Sam Dong heartbreakingly said, “I have no home. There’s no sound in there. I want to stay here where there’s so much sound that stayed.”

At the group K meeting, Baek Hee looked worry. She had a feeling that the manager was interested in recruiting Hye Mi and she might be kicked out, replaced by Hye Mi. But it’s very obvious that Baek Hee was the least popular among the other members. While Mr. Manager announcing schedules of Jason, Ree Ah, Jin guk and others, he had no schedule for Baek Hee. Thankfully Jason said he didn’t to spend his winter holiday working. He said he’s taking the song composition class to improve his musical quality. Baek Hee immidiately said she’d like to join the class too, with the same reason.

All the ex-half-admission class needed to take the song composition class. They still didn’t know that Oh Yeok was resigning. And Sam Dong wasn’t anywhere around.

Pil Sook found an A+ result sticked on her locker. It was Jason’s. Pil Sook recalled the moment when she told him harshly about he’s being ignorance of his own dream…could it be Jason’s way to prove her wrong? Jason intentionally passed by Pil Sook with a cool-smug face. Pil Sook congratulated him enthusiastically that she didn’t see the column. She bumped to it and fell. This scene was hilariously cute.

Yang Jin Man was shock hearing from Ms. Shi that Oh Yeok was resigning. She told him about the fake-showcase and night club incident that made Oh Yeok went out from school to let his students stayed. And what they didn’t expect was, Hye Mi was listening to their conversation too.

The arrogant and brave Hye Mi bursted in to the teacher’s room. She challenged Principal Shi what should the three students do to make Oh Yeok back. If it required them to get all A mark in the song composition class, Hye Mi dared to take the challenge.

Hye Mi thought Sam Dong might be at his hometown, but when she called his mother, she found out that Sam Dong wasn’t there. So it left her and Pil Sook worry both about getting A in song composition class in order to bring Oh Yeok back and about Sam Dong’s whereabout because among the two girls, he’s the genius in composing music.

Hye Mi asked Pil Sook to imitate Sam Dong’s voice when his name mentioned in the class. Pil Sook was desparate because she couldn’t speak in satturi (the dialect). Jason who was sitting on the next bench heard about it.

The class started, Pil Sook gladly found Jason was sitting next to her. The teacher was a funny man, but a strict teacher. He’s a well known music composer. When it’s time for him to check students’ presence, Jason took over Sam Dong’s voice-imitation that it pleased Pil Sook. Ohh couldn’t this couple be cuter? i’m looking forward to their relationship progress.

Meanwhile Kang Oh Yeok’s life moving on. He taught music for housewifes. Jin Guk came by to talk to him. He asked why Oh Yeok could have a heart to leave them alone at school and ran this kind of life instead. Oh Yeok said he’s not leaving them at all and what he’s doing then was something that could actually bring him back to Kirin. He’s actually a smart person

Ms. Maeng and Mr. Gong were appointed by Principal Shi to select some “highly-qualified-teacher” nominees to replace Kang Oh Yeok. Principal Shi was surprised when he found Kang Oh Yeok’s application as the highly recommended one.

Oh Yeok came to Kirin school with a new spirit and new hairstyle He came for the interview. He tried to prove to everyone at that school that the new Kang Oh Yeok was really qualified for being a teacher there.

Baek Hee got an A in song composition class. It was only Ms. Shi who got suspicious about it, so she confronted Baek Hee to make her admitted it. Baek Hee did admit, but she reminded her teacher that it was Ms. Shi herself who taught her about the importance of getting rid of rivals in order to survive this industry. Ms. Shi didn’t think Baek Hee would go this far. Baek Hee said she needed the mark to make her stay in K group. She didn’t want her place to be taken by Hye Mi. And as you might have thought, Hye Mi accidently overheard this conversation.

I started to have an optimism that Baek Hee and Hye Mi would officially make up their friendship very soon. It must be really hard to call someone your “ex-best friend” and played a dirty game to compete with her. And it didn’t make Baek Hee happy anyway, so in order to not makinfgher as the victim of her own evilness, i’d prefer her making up the friendship with Hye Mi again. But apparently the drama goes this way…so let’s see what comes next.
