Dream High is a 2011 Korean Drama in which six aspiring arts students attending the famous Kirin Arts High School pursue their dreams of becoming stars. Most notable for being produced by two Korean Entertainment giants, Bae Yongjoon and Park Jinyoung (from here on out, JYP), and featuring a main cast consisting of mostly K-Pop Idol Singers. The drama begins with the news that a Korean artist with the pseudonym "K" has won a Grammy for the first time in 2018, and an interview with Bae Yongjoon's character reveals that K is one of the six. From there, the drama goes back to their time as students and tracks their growth. A pendant of a K in a circle becomes the symbol of the show, passing back and forth between the main characters as part of the mystery behind who is K?Due to the popularity of the series, the show was followed by a sequel called Dream High 2 in 2012. | |

Headphones Equal Isolation | |
| Dream High / int_10a262e4 | comment |
Headphones Equal Isolation: Jingook invokes this trope by wearing earbuds despite not having an MP3 player so that he can ignore others. He shares this trick with Hyemi when he sees other girls gossiping about her. | |

Heroic BSoD: Pilsook has one due to her chances of being in the student showcase getting dashed because she's a member of the special admissions class, her diet not working out, and finding out Jason is usually nice to everyone, not just her. She almost withdraws from Kirin because of it, but a last minute remark from Jason about how he would like to sing a duet with her one day because he liked her voice from the first time he heard it during auditions has her tearing up her withdrawal papers in a heartbeat. | |

Title Drop: Dream High refers to the plan Professor Kang came up with as a high school student for an arts high school where teenagers would be encouraged to pursue their dreams. It somehow comes into the possession of Director Jung who used it as a blueprint for Kirin itself, but he later returns it to Professor Kang after his resignation as the headmaster. | |

The Cameo: Kim Hyunjoong appears As Himself, only as one of the most successful alumni of Kirin Arts High. Soprano Jo Sumi also appears As Herself. Hyemi sees her as a role model and initially aspires to become the "Second Jo Sumi". Chansung and Nichkhun from 2PM both have cameo scenes, with Nichkhun appearing as Ri Ah's partner during the commercial shoot and Chansung as the man from Oh-sun's imagination. | |

When Ahjung injures her foot, Baekhee is right there to act the role of the concerned friend. | |

A common criticism of the actress portraying Hyemi. However, the drama itself used this as one of its plot points: Hyemi is the most trained and most talented of the special admissions students, but she lacks the ability to express emotion in the songs she sings. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Dream High / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: The director of Kirin offers Hyemi a second chance at passing her audition by asking her to identify the songs he is playing on the piano. She is immediately able to identify one of the songs in the mash-up as Gershwin's Summertime because of her classical training, but has difficulty identifying the second, which she assumes to be a classical piece as well. Her inability to identify it as a humble, but still famous, Korean trot song that most people would be able to identify on the spot reveals her prejudice against different types of music and her own superiority complex. | |

Letting the Air out of the Band: Hyemi seems to have successfully convinced Samdong to follow her to Kirin, with romantic background music playing as she acts sweet and demure in order to gain his favor. When he unexpectedly refuses the offer, the music immediately fades and she lashes out, revealing her true colors. As Professor Kang talks with Samdong after his performance at the fake showcase, Samdong suddenly finds himself both dizzy and unable to make out Professor Kang's words. The BGM fades into very audible silence to emphasize this. | |

Celebrity Paradox Miss A's song Breathe is used during one of the episode 1 auditions. Miss A also happens to be the Girl Group of which Suzy, the actress for Hyemi, is a member. Another example is when Baekhee dances to Miss A's song Bad Girl Good Girl in the third episode. Jason sings 2PM's Heartbeat with Pilsook at a noraebang and dances to the same group's Electricity during the audition video. His actor is a member of that same group. | |

Samdong gets two: one after he moves to Seoul, and one after he witnesses Hyemi and Jingook's kiss, and then finds out he's going deaf shortly afterwards.

While he does help improve Pilsook's performance, because of his actions Professor Shi sticks around the school to look for him and finds out about the showcase herself. | |

How We Got Here: How the series is set up: It starts with the first ever Korean — an artist named K — winning a Grammy in 2018. The opening narrative is of an interview with the director of Kirin Arts High, who identifies K as one of the show's six leads. The rest of the show is essentially one huge Flashback to the group's start at his school and where K's career began. In the last episode, the artist's confirmed to be Samdong. | |

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: Interestingly enough, the Loan Sharks who harass Hyemi early in the series qualify. They could have just forced Hyemi into less desirable occupations rather than making her an Idol Singer, plus they help at with the fake showcase more than they have to (even if Professor Kang initially had to pay them to rent out the place). The boss seems to be striking up a romance with Professor Kang's sister as well. | |

Ambition Is Evil: Subverted in that most if not all of the students attending Kirin have some sort of ambition to succeed, which is encouraged because this is what is driving them to pursue their dreams. Played straight in the situation with Ahjung, Baekhee, and Professor Shi. Ahjung lies to her classmates about her mother in order to get the female solo uncontested, Baekhee sabotages Ahjung after finding out the truth so she can get the solo instead, and Professor Shi sees no problem with Ahjung's actions while nudging Baekhee towards hers. | |

Forgotten First Meeting: Hyemi and Jingook met once as children. Hyemi had even cried for him after hearing that his mother was trying to find him so she could leave him at an orphanage. While Jingook is immediately able to recognize her when they meet again, Hyemi fails to remember him. | |

Imagine Spot: Hyemi experiences one in which her life spirals downwards until she and her sister are living in cardboard boxes on the street and her sister dies because she refused to play along with Samdong on the talent search program and thus failed to bring him to Kirin. This encourages her to humor him when he drags her up on stage with him. Samdong has one where he kisses Hyemi before she leaves the countryside. There are three more in Episode 6 as Samdong explains exactly what he told his mother about his school life. | |

Shout-Out: In episode three, Hyemi sings Mandy Moore's Only Hope because Samdong is her only hope of entering Kirin. Jingook's friend Jo Insung shares his name with a popular actor. Episode 6 has parodies of the Korean adaption of Hana Yori Dango and the Korean Drama Cinderella's Sister in Samdong's Imagine Spots, including theme songs. Episode 7 has Pilsook and Jason performing 2PM's Heartbeat. 2PM is the group to which Taecyeon and Wooyoung, the actors portraying Jingook and Jason, belong. The preview for Episode 10 is intercut with JYP (dressed in a MC Hammer jumpsuit) dancing Too Legit 2 Quit Episode 12 has a Shout Out to Winter Sonata with a tender scarf-wrapping scene with the Theme Tune "From The Beginning" in the background. Star Wars is given a nod in Episode 15 with an R2-D2 reference and a short reprise of the Star Wars Theme Tune. | |

Memento MacGuffin: The K pendant. It's first shown with the unknown Kirin alumni who has just won a Grammy at the beginning of the series, and is shown to have originally belonged to Director Jung. He later passes it on to Baekhee when she asks him if she got in because of her talent, and the other students credit her successful first stage performance to its power. Baekhee, however, loses it during a fight with Hyemi, who wonders if it's the reason she and the other special applicants had still been accepted despite messing up at the showcase. It gets returned to Baekhee when the others accuse Hyemi of stealing it. Everyone in the main cast gets a chance to own it at some point in the series. | |

And the third time is when they perform for the fake showcase. Jingook and Baekhee go through this at the real showcase. Samdong and Hyemi go through this at the fake showcase. | |

Technician Versus Performer | |
| Dream High / int_ef3d1b57 | comment |
Technician Versus Performer: Hyemi's initial problem with singing — she has terrific technique, but can't emote or engage the audience to save her life. | |

Bad "Bad Acting" | |
| Dream High / int_f19e8a55 | comment |
Bad Bad Singing: When Samdong realizes his mother is in the audience of a talent search program, he purposely sings poorly in order to fool her into thinking he still has no interest in singing. Luckily for him, the other audience members are supportive of his comedic performance, even if Hyemi isn't. | |

Distant Duet | |
| Dream High / int_fa74c41c | comment |
Distant Duet: While practicing getting the emotions right through first acting out song lyrics instead of singing them and then genuinely practicing with them, Jason and Pilsook both pick the same song. Played with. While Baekhee and Jingook perform Someone's Dream at the real showcase while Pilsook and Jason perform it at the fake showcase in episode 7. The two performances are shown as happening at the same time in alternating styles. | |

| Dream High / int_fb5ab090 | comment |
Loan Sharks: Hyemi is chased by several of these and forced into auditioning for Kirin because they think making her an Idol Singer will make them fast money. An interest desicion, as K-Pop Idol Singers are known for making very little personally, with most of their profits going to their management companies to pay for further training, company staffing, and promotional activities. | |

Master of the Mixed Message | |
| Dream High / int_fb7cc1ff | comment |
Master of the Mixed Message: Jason appears especially nice to Pilsook — only for it to turn out he's nice to everyone. He goes out of his way to talk with her, only to walk off with another girl on his arm. While Pilsook's feelings towards him are very obvious, the most straight-forward he's been is when he told her he wanted to do a duet with her because he liked her voice. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Baekhee. Professor Kang as well, surprisingly. When Professor Shi finds out about the fake showcase, he locks her in a closet to keep her from disrupting it. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Dream High / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: When Hyemi defends Baekhee from a couple of mean girls at the beginning of the first episode. Jason treats Pilsook kindly, accepting her presents instead of making fun of her and subtlely defending her and protecting her from public humiliation when Insung and the other new Kirin students are making fun of her large skirt size. He even picks up her school uniform for her so that she doesn't have to face the other students. | |
