2. Drama Series
What is drama series? “Drama series generally is a television content that is scripted
and fictional with a plot. This excludes, for example, sports, news, reality and games
show, stand-up comedy and variety shows” ( Farlex Incorporate, 2012 ).An amusing and
interesting plot is necessary because it is the soul in the entire drama series. A drama
series with unplanned plot is going to fail. The most important role of plot is display of
character service. At the same time, the plot itself is relatively independent in art and
aesthetic value to entertain the audience. Besides that, the beginning of a plot is important
as well because it can influence the success or failure of the drama series. These show
that the role and significance of a plot.
My topic is drama series, it signals that I am required to choose some drama series to
do further explanation about the drama but what actually I am going to do is choose two
set of drama series to do a comparison or contrast. It seem a hardship for me because
there is too many drama series within my knowledge. Before I proceed to next step, the
first task I going to do is analyze the meaning and definition of drama series. What is
actually a drama series means? It is shameful enough for me that I am unable to definite
drama series although I had watch countless drama series, well, at least it cannot counted
by my fingers. After I ponder approximately 33 minutes and 33 seconds, I eventually
decide to choose Rooftop Prince and Dream High as my topic to make a contrast
among them.
The first drama series I am going to analyze is Rooftop Prince. After I sit through
the drama series, I can conclude that it is a romance drama because Crown Prince of the
Chosun Dynasty who loses his beloved princess then travels with his consorts 300 years
into the future to the modern day to continue his unfinished romance. He was strived to
find out the truth although he was set in a different condition. Besides that, he was a
determined person. This was shown through his willpower to find her wife in future
although there were many barriers awaiting him up ahead. He never gave up to find out
the truth although he was used to experience many hardships. He was an intelligent man
as well because he could adapt the situation better and faster than his retainers. Of course,
but that is not all of it. He was also used his ability and wisdom flexibility to overcome
the problems he faced and deal with his enemy. His extraordinary charm was really
3. fascinated a lot of audience of course included me. The ending of this drama series was
quite a bit different compared to any other drama series. The ending was quite sad and
‘heart-broken’ but fortunately my heart is made of stainless steel. The ending narrates
that the crown prince travels back to his era while his lover was still staying in the future.
They were both half a world away from each other in different place, different era,
different time. What prince crown does daily not other but just miss his lovers.
The second drama series I am going to analyze is Dream High. Dream High is
actually a school play. It takes place at Kirin High School of Art and follows the lives of
students as they aspire to become superstars. This is reasonable because superstars can
get both reputation and ‘moneysss’. I believe that everyone is hopes to gain respect from
other people to increase our self-esteem, I am no exception. It was school play not just
because it took place in school instead of the students were aspire to interview as a
student at Kirin High School and there was five participants succeed in the interview.
Misunderstanding and contradiction have break up their relationship and caused them
suspected at one another. This was a great impact on them thus caused they could not
cooperate with each other well. Song Sam-Dong, the main character of this drama series,
was an innocent person. He falls in love with Ku Hye-Mi at first sight and followed her to
Kirin High School of Art. On the other hands, it showed that he was not good in decision
making. Besides that, he has unlimited potential in music. He was gradually discovered
that his genius like musical talent as he was training in Kirin High School. Besides that,
he has very high aspirations to own to stock farm although he was a poor guy. This was
happened before he accessed to Kirin High School. The happy endings stated that the five
participant were finally become friends again as before. They were respectively moved
toward their goals and eventually became superstars.
In conclusion, they are absolutely two different types of drama. Rooftop Prince is a
romance drama while Dream High is a school play. Besides that, their characteristic also
show that the identity of the characters. They are both perfect for all ages but I personally
recommend Rooftop Prince because I find that the plot and characteristic are more
interesting than Dream High. The ending of Rooftop Prince is not bad too because it
tells me that there are many thing that we cannot manipulate like the affairs of human
life. At the same time, it can be an educational drama and that why I loved this drama
series so much.
