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?

hfkjdg I watched the first two episodes and I am SO ADDICTED. The characters are so well done and have such unique colours. And you can see how good it is made when you just can see the failure and hurt just in their eyes. It's beautiful.

And I'm glad because it's been some times now since I really went all my heart for a kdrama :).

This is so perfect. I need to mainline it.
