It's like feast or famine in the drama world.
For months, there was nothing remotely grabbing me, but all of a sudden I am deluged by dramas I am getting quite obsessed about.
One of these dramas is What's Up, a drama I've given up hope of ever seeing until cable rescued it.
I have only watched half of first ep before I decided I want to wait for subs (is anyone besides viki subbing this? I need softsubs, I loathe streaming), but I really liked what I saw. Im Ju Hwan is brilliant (but when isn't he?) as a street thief-hustler but I really like the rest of the cast too (a mix of actors and singers, but all doing a uniformly good job), the slightly grainy feel of the drama, and the character interactions. While I enjoyed both Dream High (until it lost me near the end) and Heartstrings, I think this has the potential of becoming my favorite 'bright musical talents in school' drama - not surprising with that writer.
The soundtrack is gorgeous.
And lest you think this drama is all SRS BSNS, it also has this:
No, I have no idea how many drugs were involved.
