What's Up - more like 'what's down?' And I love it!

So, What's Up is a musical, right?



And when you think 'musical,' you think chirpy and fun, right?

Think again.



I am about halfway into the first ep, and if "Dream High" was a musical if kdramas went Disney, What's Up is a musical if kdramas went 'indie 1970s director.'

I love it, but it's seriously dark.

You know, I really need to add a chirpy drama to my repertoir. Padam Padam and Tree with Deep Roots are both soul-scarring. What's Up and Me Too Flower are somewhat cheerier but that's like saying something is less bloody than WW2 - doesn't mean much. Neither is a bucket of laughs in the least. Ditto The Empress.

I think I am going to add Color of Woman to the mix before I go bonkers from all the emo.

In conclusion - will this prove to be the world's tiniest violin?

I like Color of Woman a lot. It's light but not too fluffy, and I find myself enjoying it the most out of the dramas I'm watching. I hesitate recommending it to you, though, as it is a workcom that is less actual comedy and more slice-of-life.

I need fluffy...
