i can't wait for this :D
i've been in dream high withdrawal for way too long.

also hoping for jinwoon to be cast as the main!

Wish they'd also get a great actor like Kim Soo-hyun for DH2.

I don't know about Hyorin's acting, but I've seen her in immortal Song, and she's got a great voice for an idol.

Oooh, that was her in Miss Ripley? She was really sweet in that...looks like I'll be giving Dream High 2 a try, although the first season will be hard to beat.

idol-infested series again...altho i shouldn't really sound sarcastic cause i've been-still am-a fangirl of a certain idol. lol

Whoa. I am very surprised for the turn of this article. I think this is one of the handful of times jb is happy about a casting of an idol. I think that's pretty cool. I don't know what to expect from this new season or from T-ara's Jiyeon, although I am one to give idols a chance if they're good and got casted through tryouts and such. I just hope they go easy on her eye shadow (er, eye liner?) since it usually makes her eyes seem longer than it should be compared to her face.

P.S. Can we a JYP to be in this again? Or a similar character as JYP's hilarious Roboteach?

Remember HON?

I think after watching her in a few dramas, she's not as bad as others and have proved that she can act and sing decently. YAY.

Usually when you have a drama about singers and such, having the talent to sing is important, but IT IS a DRAMA and it helps when the actors can... y'know... act.

I remember her when she played a ghost in Hon. Anyway, I've heard that the real actor they'll cast this season will be Park Eun Bin.

Omg. Seriously. I listened to the song that Ji yeon sang. Omg I LOVE HER VOICE.
I'm looking forward to see her in Dream High 2 now.

And I really can't wait until Dream High 2 comes out!! I LOVED the first one.

She was pretty decent in Jungle Fish 2. I just hope they cast that strong young actor/actress to sturdy up the cast! And yes JYP is a must!!

pretty voice. good actress. HORRENDOUS STAGE PRESENCE. i don't know what it is, but she sucks it up big when she has to combine the two.

please move your face, jiyeon, when singing on stage. ^^

Got to agree with crazedlu. I like Jiyeon as an actress and she's a decent singer, but she never seems to sell it when she's performing, she just doesn't seem to be into the performance at all.

Anyway, looking forward to this, I need my Dream High crack.

Oh, so Suzy & Eunjung's good friend is finally onboard?

Can I trust that the Dream High writers will give Jiyeon a character as interesting as the ones from last season?

As far as singing talent goes, they managed to cast very solid singers for females. Jiyeon is decent, and if Hyorin & Jinwoon jump onboard, this would be pretty awesome. Acting-wise, I'd be a little hesitant, as it's really the core of a drama and Suzy got a quite a bit of criticism last year.

yay i like her! will she be the main girl?

yeah, her acting is pretty good ^^ way better than suzy, so im considering checking this out

She.cannot.sing.

I wanted Park Eunbin (the grown up version of Hyemi's little sister) for this tbh, and the story to be set a few years into the future so we'd have teenage Hyesung (still hopelessly in love with Jingook lol irl).

... awaiting Lee Joon from Mblaq to join the cast now!

Jiyeon that reason why i watch DH2

I wish for a cameo from Chipmuck and Sushi!!!

I love this!!! How I wish Lee Hyun Woo would be also here. That would be great.

Yay! I already can picture her role in here. As an idol who always hate being on stage.

She better have the lead role this time! I've been waiting for more than 1 year already! She was pretty good on Jungle Fish 2(that drama was AMAZING).

So she's the main girl? I thought Kang Sora got that role. I love Ji yeon but i would prefer an actual actress to take on the main role.

Just when i wished for another jiyeon drama here comes the news with a bang, i never thought, lies, she'd be casted in dream high,,,,:-) yessssssh thank you for this birthday newws

Ohh gosh, Is that Ji Yeon from that show "Strong Heart"? She was with Yoon Si Yoon there when I saw her for the first-time, ofc. Haha, she's really adorable....wow, she's young! (18 yrs. old)

Neaaat! (thumbs-up) I will able to watch this if I have time, keke. :D

That'd be amazing if we'd watch her in this drama! Also, she's exactly look like actress Kim Tae Hee ~ ~ !! ^__^

Where in the timeline does Dream High 2 take place after Dream High 1?

I miss the show so much! Does anyone know if Eom Ki Joon will be reprising his role?

I'm going around in circles in dramabeans trying to find that page where it says Kang So-ra is part of the contenders for the main female lead...but okay, I realized it must have been on another site.
If she and Ji-yeon are truly going to be cast as the two leads, then this could really be interesting. I feel So-ra would be like the next Soo Hyun and Ailee is even more interesting and might be IU's version in DH 2.

Do we have other contenders for the male lead?

I don't know about this, but I watch Kang Sora in a daily drama @ KBS... She's not so impressive..

Jiyeon is pretty but I think she's kindda stiff.

Hyorin of SISTAR too old to be a student!

But hopefully the Drama will cast a real actor who can act and who is cute, can act and sing .. just like my dear Kim Soo Hyun.

She's a much better actress than she is as an idol star.

I just hope they'll cast some more experienced actors. Eunjung and Taec still had experience as actors. With that I don't mean that they were really exceptional, but they were solid enough to keep it going. Just Kang So Ra as actual actor doesn't put up imo.

Not really understanding how Kang Sora and Hyorin are "too old" to play students, considering Eunjung was 23 playing one. Anyway, not really interested in DH2. I liked the first one and sequels have a tendency to suck.

I'm very happy that the final cast for Dream High 2 has been finalized. I'm rooting for Hyorin of Sistar..She is very talented & graceful.
