Things picked up for Agent Nam when he met the ex-convict Lee Jang-suk (Kim Bum).  Agent Nam finds inner peace as he tries his best to turn him into a champion MMA fighter.  Every fighter needs a trainer and here’s where Park So-yeon (Son Dam-bi) comes into the picture.

I must confess that I watched Dream because of Son Dam-bi but the story kept me interested week after week.  Guys like me would love the MMA action sequences in the series.   For the girls, aside from Kim Bum, there are several eye-candies to choose from.

The Dream ending definitely surprised me. Sports dramas usually end with the star reaching his goal.  But in Dream Kim Bum failed to reunite with his mom or become the champion although both goals are within his reach.  He saw his mom with her new family and he could have won the championship match if his dad didn’t die.

Dream was an entertaining series and it will be shown in the Philippines soon.  Speaking of the Philippines, I took one week off from this blog to help the victims of Typhoon Ondoy.  Dreams were shattered but hopefully everyone will recover soon.

Among the students are Yi-Na (Nam Gyu-ri) and Hyeon (Kim Bum). Along with the kids are two teachers, Chang Wook (Lee Beom-su) and Choi So-Yeong (Yung Jeong-heui). Yi-na realized that the students are killed according to their academic rankings. Although there were times that the movie became too cute to be scary, with a high school romance brewing between Kim Bum and Nam Gyu-ri. But overall Death Bell gives its audience enough gore and shock that would satisfy every Asian horror movie fans.

I would not be surprised that Death Bell is remade by Hollywood. The plot might have elements of other horror movies such as Saw, The Ring and The Grudge but the movie has some twists unseen from the mentioned movie. Though I somewhat guessed what the ending might be, I was still surprised with the ending. This is a must see for horror fans.

*Spoiler*
The ghost of Jiwon, a former student of the school, was haunting the school but it was not her that’s doing the killing. The killing is done by her parents. It turns out that Jiwon was killed by Chang Wook and her father, the school security guard, killed the teacher in the end.
