Dream High E11

The talent and raw energy that KSH has astounds me – I stuck with DH for him and this is the episode where he showed us why he chose this project. That warning he gave HM was so amazing- I couldnt breathe. Such a short line, but he delivered it with such intensity-better than a more veteran actor.

Call me greedy but I wanted more of him at the last part- I certainly did not like ending with BH’s tantrum again. Man oh man now I have to wait another week to see what else SD does -bet he is gonna be even better.

turns out-aside from business and medical terms, I dont know that many words about music either-

wasnt sure if the music teacher was talking about producing, composing, or music notes in Korean

Dream High E11

-=================================================

it starts with a haircut and overlaps with scenes from last night when SD sees the kiss

the camera pans out to show SD with his new do and earring

he goes to see the hearing doctor

who gives him some bad news about his hearing

something about how he is going to have bouts of hearing loss often

and each time that happens- his ability to (hear?) will drop

and even tho they could try treatments-there is no certainty or something

(not sure of some of those medical terms)

SD narrates throughout these scenes:mom-you lied to me

you said heavens only give us what we can handle

but it doesnt seem that way for me

what came to me – I cant ever handle with just my strength alone

it is cruel and heavy

mom -I didnt get to go far but i have to (say farewell?) to my pretty dream

at this time – what should I do?

SD breaks down and cries in the middle of the street

===

* best freaking acting I have scene in ages by someone so young

—-

kang is tendering his resignation and the principal reaches for it gleefully

but kang takes it away and reminds him to keep his promise

principal promises kang he will keep the promise to take care of the kids

kang is about to leave

so the principal says he will be honest

how he was bothered by kang as much as kang was bothered by him

he says kang is a good teacher but that he lacks something to be a great one

he hugs kang

teacher shin walks in on the hug and asks what they are doing

he says it happened cuz he was saying bye for the last time

she asks what that means

and he shows her kang’s resignation

she runs after kang

she asks if he got a job at some other school

he says no

she says if he leaves like this he threw away something

and is he thinking of the kids

he says he is so that is why he is giving them her as their teacher

he tells her again to take care of his kids well

—-

kang goes to class and asks where SD is

only PS and HM are there

he says they are now up in the regular class

PS tries to hug HM but HM pulls away asking if PS hepatitis is all gone

cuz it is contagious so PS hugs her hard

HM gets a call from the manager

—

BH sees HM and asks HM why she is here

HM says your mananger wanted to see me

the manager asks HM to sign with them

she asks why suddenly

he says he had been watching her all along

and gives her a contract to look over

he tells her to think it over slowly and decide by the end of the month

—

outside HM tries to pinch her cheeks wondering why she doesnt hurt

she wonders if she is dreaming

she hits herself to make sure

kang looks over it

she asks if it is ok

he asks if she wants to debut that much

she says of course- if she debuts she can settle the  debt kang has cuz of her

he tells her not to debut for that reason

he is against it if she is starting with that kind of mind

when his sister comes home carrying the bags from the market by herself

she tells HM’s sister if she took her along

the little girl should have helped carry them

but the little girl says making a child do that is against (something like child labor laws-she is so cute)

HM asks her sister if she saw SD today

her sister said she saw him in the morning for a sec –

he left saying not to contact him for the time being cuz he is going home

HM goes to his room

she says to herself how could he just leave like that without saying anything

—

SD is walking on the street

he hears music

follows it to a club

listens and his hearing goes out a bit

he cries again

then smiles and puts his hand up to the speakers to feel the sound

—-

JG’s friend comes over to SD

and tells SD to keep his secret that he works here part time

he asks if SD isnt going home

SD says he doesnt have a place to go

the guy reminds him he has kang’s home

SD says there is no sound there

there is loud sound here so it doesnt seem like it will run away

the guy mutters why SD is saying he ran away in such a complicated way

—-

secretly-while looking over his shoulder

kang looks up about teaching music on the computer

with his resume lying around

—

mananger tells the K kids what their schedule is

3 of them have separate schedules cuz they are part of someone’s new album

 jason and Ria have a photoshoot to do in england during their break

so he tells them to have fun

jason asks to skip it cuz he has to take lessons for music composing and other classes during vaction

JG asks what is up with jason these days cuz jason is working so hard

so the manager orders to puch back the photoshoot since it is good for business

for jason to study more about composing

BH and Ria want to join the composing class too

—

PS sticks another lolipop on jason’s locker

and as she walks over to hers

she sees jason’s grade report on her locker

she remembers all that she said to him about how he needs

to be more ambitious and stuff

and she wonders if he stuck it here on her locker to show her (that he is trying)

he walks by so she chases him saying he is the best and runs into the pole

and falls with her thumbs in the air

—-

teacher shin keeps running into JYP

he starts to ask then changes it to asking if she saw kang teacher

before she can answer

president ma comes

he is looking for kang cuz he needs to receive something

she tells both of them that kang took

responsibility for the fake showcase and the kids dancing in the club

so in order to protect the kids- he volunteered to resign

HM hears it too

she says kang teacher really quit cuz of us?

—

HM goes up to the principal

she accuses him of firing kang

she says he would never quit on his own so what did the principal say

the principal says he didnt do anything to kang

he says how kang for four years had bad evaluations

teacher shin comes in saying the kids need to show more ability

she says they all need to get A’s

and the principal and other teachers will recognize kang’s ability as a teacher

HM agrees that they will get all A’s so they need to reinstate kang then

other teacher says the person scoring only gave 3 A’s last time

principal asks to see teacher shin alone

—

he asks why she did that when he finally got rid of kang

she tells him not to worry

she calls him dad and says how hard it will be for them to get A’s

—-

BH gets called in by the mananger

before he can talk she talks about how she changed her image

and how she will do her best

he tells her how other kids all have schedules but she doesnt

not even as a backdancer

he says he doenst need someone who will put in effort only

he needs someone who does things

she promises to become someone like that and starts lying

saying how he said it was good for them to learn composing

about how she has experience with composing

she convinces him to give her another chance

and that she will get a high grade on the music composition

if she does-for him to reconsider and decide whether to keep her

or not after looking at that grade

—

PS says to HM- so all 3 of us have to get A’s to bring back teacher kang?

HM says yes and PS argues how can we?

PS remembers SD went home so Hm says they have to tell him to hurry and come

PS worries about attendance for today

HM tells PS to try to sound like SD

PS worries how she can speak southern dialect

and starts to practice southern dialect so she can answer as SD during roll call

jason overhears from the next table

 HM calls SD’s mom

his mom asks if SD is well

cuz yesterday in her dreams, he came out and called out “mom” over and over again

and now his mom is worried and wonders if he is well

PS practices and HM says “it is strange”

and PS says “i told you Icouldnt- I wont do this” and gives up on talking like SD

HM tells PS that SD has disappeared

—-

a new music teachers comes in and gets introduced

the female teacher says how kids who get A’s can stand on stage

the guy calls roll

SD is not here so PS tries to pretend to use southern dialect to say he is there

but jason does it better for her

——

BH stand there as her manager tries to get her a job

but the other manager doesnt want her

so her manager tells her how he tries like this to get her jobs

but no one wants her

JG sees this

BH practices composing byherself

—-

SD goes and sees the keyboard

he remembers how he used to compose

he is still there at the club

the other kid tells him he can let him sleep here once

but not twice

and he tries to get SD to leave

but SD pushes him

and SD’s eyes look dead – like he doesnt care about anything

HM looks for SD everywhere

comic book store and streets

she gets a call from the guy who is working at the club

she asks where that place is

==========================

HM shows up at the club

he tells her to take SD away

HM goes up to SD

ya-are you ok?

are you hurt anywhere?

 when did you cut your hair

let’s go out and talk

i said let’s go outside

she takes his hand to lead him out

but he pulls his hand away

and says he doesnt want to

HM: why are you like this? did something happen?

this isnt a good time for you to be here like this

hurry and let’s go outside

she grabs his hand again

but he yells “i said I dont want to!” in a mean scary way

and gets her full attention

-=======================================

HM: i have no idea why you are here like this -but first let’s go outside

 if we are caught here by the police again

we will get expelled for sure this time

she tries to pull him up but he pulls his hand away again

HM: hey stupid

kang had to resign cuz of us

cuz we went to the nighclub and had the fake showcase

so he got kicked out of school

if we are going to get kang to come back

(I) need you SD- you

so let’s go

she takes his hand to pull him away but he says

do you know what i think about when I am here?

a thousand times a day

I regret following you to seoul

HM: what?

SD stands and continues: over and over I regret

he lets go of her hand

why did I grab your hand when I got down from that stage?

why did I believe your obvious lie?

why did I listen to your song?

why did I follow you?

(his voice got louder with each question)

then he quietly adds

why did I go crazy over music?

so now – get lost- please

he brushes past her

she cries and he already is while saying all that

—-

she goes home and sees kang sleeping

she sees he has made resumes

she asks how he could do this

how he promised to do everything he could

she asks is leaving them doing his best

she says he shouldnt throw them away this easily

kang says after she leaves

how can I throw you guys away

—–

new music teacher shows them basic chords you need to know

to make music

jason is the only one answers when the teacher asks which chords he just played

HM goes to SD who is working at the club

she gives him stuff to study

but he throws it away

she gives him info

but he keeps ignoring her

she says she will not give up on him or kang

—

music teacher tells the kids about

more music stuff

she goes to see SD and relays all she learned again

and leaves the book

and says she will be back tm  too

the other guy wonders why HM isnt sick of coming here like this

and he asks SD if he is not going to school

SD gives him a look

so the guy explains he isnt telling SD to leave-it is just that it is a waste cuz

he heard SD can compose

SD says he doesnt need stuff like that

—-

teacher tells the kids what they need to do for the last assignment grade

the song is called dreaming

so by next class they have to match the lyrics with music

and compose and that is what they will be graded on

he goes on about how it cant be taught

how they need to follow what they feel with that music

how it is suppose to melt listeners

when you are too sad or too happy

and how music that moves people

or when you want to give up on everything

combining all these things into the song

———————

HM and PS think about what he said and wonders what he meant

how it has to be include their real life own experience/emotions

teacher shin comes over

and says it cant be taught

she tells them they need to expereience first but since

they are tooo young they havent exp that

so read it from books or watch it in movies or

they should listen to the grownups around them

that is what kang would have said

and she leaves just as quickly

PS asks if she is on their side

HM says there is no way

but the teacher says she is on their side this time

so the 3 of them should make sure to get A’s

—

HM goes to JYP and repeats what teacher shin said

JYP says something about how he was selling his instrument to buy a ring

and he creates a dramatic scenario

when he is done HM is already gone

——

PS gets a ticket stuck in her locker so she says”what is this? just one?”

when she goes to the theater, jason come and sits next to her

jason: dont misunderstand-I didnt come here to play

[I think he said he was here to do research-not sure of the word so total guess]

she writes music on napkins

——

HM looks at SD’s drawings

and all those times he rescued her or saved her from getting hurt

and how he smiles at her

she writes music thinking of those moments

—

BH is writing and composing too

but hers sounds bad

she remembers the manager’s warning

how he needs someone who does something 

and doesnt need someone who just works hard

she walks over to someone else’s music file and takes the music sheet out

and starts to play it

{my question here is – from what i learned from watching secret garden and what oska went thru-

if this song gets played – wont the original composer throw a hissy fit and won’t  she be found out?}

===============================================

HM goes to the club

the guy says SD left without saying anything to another club

she says she needs to give him something

and runs off

the guy tells SD that she left

but she will keep looking for him

Sd thanks him (for lying)

she goes to random clubs

she calls the guy

he tells her again that SD isnt here like he said

he tells her to go home now

he tells SD that she looks like she will spend

all night looking for SD

HM sits and rests

some guys ask her to go for drinks

she tells them she is a student

they drag her off

SD beats them off and keeps hitting one of them

SD’s hand bleeds

she pulls SD off of him

the two guys run off

HM: do you know how much I looked for you?

if you are going to move locations – you should have said so and moved

SD: I told you very clearly – to get lost

he looks over to the side and not at her

HM: I told you too very clearly- that I will never give up on you

when I was hitting rock bottom

the person who pulled me out was you and kang

this time it is my turn

I dont know why you are like this now

but this time I will pull you out

take this

this is the mission composition

he takes it and throws it on the bench next to them

HM: and this

she puts the K pendant in his hand

if you have this with you

it will give you strength

and problems will easily work itself out

I dont believe that

but I hope it does that for you

SD finally faces her

he pets her hair and says : I told you very clearly to go but  you came

she takes his hand away from her hair

*SD: i bet later- that you are going to regret you came today

he took the notebook as he walked off

SD plays what she gave him and writes notes in it

and uses the kepboard to compose something

* that totally sounded like a threat or warning – I love this side of him

—–

BH goes up to HM

and says she looks forward to the result today

SD comes into class late

and hands in his work

JYP watches the kids from outside

and says encouraging things from the window

the principal asks if JYP thinks the kids (HM and them) willl get A’s

the music teacher scores it and calls out names of those who got A’s

he says PS (JYP is so happy but tries to hide it from the principal)

music teacher says how her music is loving-

like she is in the midst of dating-that is what he feels like

second student is HM (this time teacher shin is happy)

he says her music is (?)

later when this music is on stage

it makes me curious what feelings it will evoke

principal asks shin-his daughter- what would happen if all 3 of them get A’s

she pretends it will be big trouble if it does

the last person is BH

principal is happy and tells JYP – that is the end of the talk about teacher kang (returning)

music teacher says her work is perfect – like what a pro composer would make

with nothing wrong with it

teacher shin seems suspicious hearing that

and another one that didnt get an A but it stands out

is SD’s

the teacher was going to give it a lower score but

the more you look at the song

it has a way of (?)

this music has what others didnt have

it had real emotions that came alive

the things that dont come out of all of your lives

that  sad emotion

even tho this music  didnt get an A

along with all the others who got A’s

i want to suggest this song should be on the showcase

—-

kang teaches at some place where he has to wear a jacket that

looks like it was made from material from JW’s sparkly blue tracksuit

he talks about “trot music” (bleh) to the class of housewives

(have to skip what he said- please dont make me translate about that kind of music)

JG goes to see him

and asks him to buy JG food

JG eats alot

kang asks if JG reconciled with his dad

JG asks what kang is doing here

kang says he is working to go back to them

JG asks how

—

principal meets with the other teachers

they give him resumes for new teacher

he goes tru them

and sees kang’s

the teachers say they followed the principals standards

kang comes back to school to interview

a kid asks how could he be interviewing when he used to teach here

——–

BH brags to her manager over the phone that she got an A

and that the teacher said it sounded like a pro

teacher shin finds BH

she asks if BH composed that herself

the teacher says she knows BH’s talent limits from teaching her for a year

maybe no one else would know

but she knows

this isnt BH’s work

BH says: so what? what if it isnt?

teacher said dont you get this is cheating

BH says the teacher taught her this

and points out what the teacher did in the past to

encourage her to do these things

and that Shin knew BH put the tack in the girl’s shoes

 so BH could take her place on stage

that was the first time

and she goes on about how she could do even more

cuz she used what the teacher taught her to make her debut

(kind of hating BH blaming the teacher for BH’s actions)

BH cries and says she did all that

worked hard all this way

but Hm is about to push her out again

the manger wants to take her out and put HM in K group

and BH yells that no matter what she has to do

she wont get her spot taken by her

HM overhears this

end

no preview

please tell me HM is not going to be nice enough to let BH keep the spot out of old friendship pity
