Drama Persevere Gu Hae-ra opens with big musical number HIGHLIGHT





his drama has flown under my radar for the most part, but I remember that Monstar did too and it ended up being such a sweet, earnest musical drama that told little stories in big-hearted ways. Cable network Mnet is hoping to repeat that success with its second original drama outing, Persevere Gu Hae-ra, which is gearing up for a premiere next week. The campus drama has released a teaser of its big opening musical number, a fun High School Musical-esque rendition of Kim Won-joon’s “Show.” I can’t imagine that the show’s going to be giving us a big set piece number like this in every episode, but it would be pretty impressive if it did. Of course that doesn’t mean I want endless musical interludes, because we saw what happened to Dream High 2. Monstar was best when it focused on story and drove the musical numbers from an emotional center, so hopefully Gu Hae-ra has a good story to tell. I like the setup, which shows promise: Min Hyo-rin (Romance Town, Gone With the Wind) stars as the title character Gu Hae-ra, an aspiring singer whose dream is to make her father’s music posthumously known. She lives next door to two neighbor boys, twin brothers Kwak Shi-yang (Feel-Good Day) and Jinyoung (Miss Granny), who have been with her through thick and thin.
