‘Dream High’ Released Comical Teaser with Adorable Kid Voice


Guys, you have to check this out! This is the newly released official teaser of upcoming Korean drama ‘Dream High’. The teaser is quite unique with storybook-children concept mixed with adorable cute voice that tells us a brief story of the drama, instead of showing drama’s scenes.
The cute narrator tells:
“We are inviting you guys to a school named ‘Girin Arts High School’ (Girin means giraffe) BUT it isn’t giraffe. The school only teaches students how to dance and sing instead of normal curriculum. The head master (Bae Yong Joon) and freak teachers (Park Jin Young, Um Ki Joon, Lee Yoon Ji, and Lee Byung Joon) operate the school. They may get very angry and shoot fire from their mouths if they found the students are lazy in their practices. There IS also a secret… the most of stars you see on TV are graduates of this school. For the upcoming year, 2011, there is a feeling that there are some special students might be entering into the school. ‘Dream High’ will air its first episode on January 3, 2011.”

Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father's more industrious and inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves -- protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.

Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato's clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt's new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they begin hunting down the man who controls LA's gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz).
