Hi Alan:
Can you explain to me the meaning of "high profile" and high drama"?

Thank you very much

Hi Kelly,

High profile (as an adjective) means something which is very prominent, which everybody knows about.

High drama is an expression describing an incident or series of incidents in which people get very excited, make a lot of noise and shout and get angry.
