Another Musical-School Drama? I mean, I can tolerate with Dream High, but here it just look like a bad drama w/ an addition of a popular singer from a popular group just to distract us. Neh not interested w/ this one.

@ Truefact, there not many Musical-School drama, I believe Dream High was the first. I will watch this drama for Dae Sung. I think he a great singer and with the year he had, I would like to support him as much as possible. Also I don’t know why Dae Sung seem to be look at as unattractive when I think he is very cute especially character and sexy lips.
December 5th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
I don’t mind if it’s another musical drama as long as the acting and story is good. Will definitely check this out!
December 6th, 2011 at 2:42 am
it’s gonna be a good drama, not only the drama but the music around them! ahh can’t wait!
December 6th, 2011 at 10:58 am

please inform me if the videos of episodes of this darama has been uploaded.. thanks… 🙂 cause it’s not yet uploaded in youtube.. ;(
December 13th, 2011 at 4:01 am
I have watched 1st episode with sub and i must say that this drama seem to be something new in a way of directing. It isn’t too funny or dramatic, just in the middle. I realy liked Im Joo character. Her style and new hair in later ep realy suits her so she looks amaizing. Also her acting is convincing. When it comes to male role it has to be Im Ju Hwan character. Really handsome and intresting. I hope the two of them will be our drama couple coz even their styles are similar. They would simply be great together but after ep 5 prev it is i think impossible for them:(
December 13th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
Whats Up? is a nice drama serial and in this site a very brief summary of this play has been presented which is very nice, those viewers who want to watch complete episodes of whats UP then they can visit this site to watch online whats up all latest episodes for free.

I haven’t started watching yet but I intent to do so real soon. I hope Daesung is gonna be the comic of this drama because I enjoy watching him behaving all silly and dorky. He’s so funny when he does that and he really makes me laugh!
December 16th, 2011 at 9:59 am
I watched 2 eps. I’m hooked already. A lot better than expected. All the cast embers are quite fit in his/her role. Good one. Wishing this drama is doing well…. Fighting!!!
December 21st, 2011 at 10:42 pm
all i can see is that its popular thanks to dae sung..nothing from other characters..
December 23rd, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I want next eps in eng sub
December 24th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
@ truefact Please do not judge the book by its cover!Are u watching it until u can gave that kind of comment? I just think this drama is just nice. It is not an apparition of Dream High or whatsoever. And because they place Daesung in this drama,doesn’t mean Daesung is gonna be the main attraction of this drama.I will support this drama
December 26th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
i am confused why Kim Ji won is not included as the main cast.:(
December 28th, 2011 at 11:44 am
this is actually a very good and interesting drama. It is on dramafever.com now with subs. I love the character developments and the story line. it is getting interesting. Yeah I was once one of those people who said …oh another dream high..but i gave it chance and i love it now…
December 28th, 2011 at 11:48 am
FYI
Eng. subs of the show are up on Dramafever.com now..go support the drama!!

January 18th, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Another drama abt students (music n romance) in a performance school? The ratings r rather dismal. Hmm……
January 18th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
@KDaddict Drama is shown on pay tv so don’t be surprised with low ratings. Nothing compared to P2 of course but I actually enjoy watching this light dramas, simply becos it doesn’t require much brain function (ESP when my brain is frozen right now). Enjoy the songs too. Music and romance make one feel young and Heaven knows I need them now what with the new year and one year older thingee 😉
January 19th, 2012 at 4:36 am
I am enjoying this drama very much on DramaFever. Anxious for next episodes to get English sub-titles. Not as much singing and dancing as I expected. Hopefully a big finale number. Great role for Im Ju Hwan! Interesting to watch his character change. I love the red track suit ghost and how he keeps popping up. The opening scene shows everyone in black and in mourning. Who died? Sun-man??
January 28th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
Absolutely, falling in love with this film. very good acting & music. Keep going “What’s up?” >________<
February 4th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Really, really LOVE this drama.
Love the story.
Love the actors and actresses.
Love the songs.
Love the singing,
Love the acting.
Love everything in this drama!
I watch it together with my younger brother and he loves it so much.
Also, he likes Im Ju Hwan role so much! He said that Ju Hwan is really funny, OMG 😀
I can’t talk about this amazing drama with my friends because they don’t like any KDrama, heheh. But I don’t care about it.
WHAT’S UP!
February 4th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Oh yeah, we love Red Tracksuit Ghost also.
He’s so funny and mysterious! Who is he actually? I really curious! Is he really a ghost or a common human or what???
February 4th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
i want more and more episods in “What’s up” drama.
i really really really love this drama so much.
i like all of characters in this drama except an antagonist.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:32 pm
pretty awesome drama, love the story line, characters everything!!!! <3 it
February 13th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
One of the best music dramas that I have seen. Love it and feel sad that the drama has ended. Will surely miss the cast!
February 19th, 2012 at 5:11 am
I liked it but feel like the ending is not enough. There r many open questions: what about Hades’ mum? The lead actress came back suddenly, there is no big performance……….so it was good except how it ended
February 20th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
love this drama..i love Im Ju Hwan, great actor in whats up & tamra the island..this drama i give 9/10
March 12th, 2012 at 4:07 pm
I watched mostly becoz of Lee Soo Hyuk. Luv him so much, even he played only small role..still like it (even I hate coz he close to Eon Choyong). I’m still looking for the song ‘All is Well’ who singing it?
March 17th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
oh doo ri looks like Jessica ng girls’ generation
April 4th, 2012 at 7:03 pm
boring drama….may b dats y d rating was not good…
April 10th, 2012 at 12:55 am
maybe i’m late but i just finishing the whole eps of this drama.. love it so much!! the ost are good and daesung’s voice just amazed me.. my fave scene is when doo ri singing stupid cupid in front jae hun in the park at night, that song remind me to my fave all time hollywood movie, princess’ diaries with mandy moore singing that song on the beach. love both version.
April 12th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
I liked this show. It was really good. Sad ending. But very well acted.
April 21st, 2012 at 2:35 am
i was really immersed when i watched this movie
but i still wondering if there will be vol 2 since it says vol 1, i think there’s still some more since there are many thins that hasn’t solved yet
April 24th, 2012 at 11:52 am
Does anyone know if they are releasing anymore songs from this drama? There were so many good renditions that I would LOVE to have on my ipod. (Like an official version, not just a ripped version.) Thank you!
September 16th, 2012 at 11:52 pm
This drama is awesome! The plot, script, acting and music , all is great!
Don’t listen to those who say this drama is not good! It is wonderful! Specially if you like musical dramas it is surely the best!
September 22nd, 2012 at 7:41 pm
I love musical drama but im not going to watch this coz they said its a sad ending, so i skip this one.
September 30th, 2012 at 11:41 am

October 9th, 2012 at 3:49 pm

Good story, good acting and good music. Love it.
July 25th, 2013 at 6:21 am

December 8th, 2013 at 10:50 pm
Ignore who says bad thing about this drama. It has a good script, good actors, good ost, good plot, good performance, good bromance and sismance (something that Tae hee and Doo ri did), good live experience, a lot of thing that we can learn.Don’t hesitate! Try and you’ll say thanks to everyone here that makes you believe this drama worth enough to be watched and admired.
It has sad ending? No it’s not. We cried not because it has a sad ending, it because we know exactly what they (Jae hun and others) feel, what they learned in one year togather, what they got after all.
I watch a lot drama in 7 year, and if I have one word to describe What’s up it’s ‘Beautiful’.
Try it!
January 19th, 2014 at 4:21 am
Hi, the ost link is no longer available up there. I would really like to have the ost. If it is possible, can you please email me back?
August 29th, 2014 at 12:51 am
No. Oh Doo Ri looks more like Park Shin Hye
January 1st, 2015 at 9:32 am
It’s the best musical Korean drama I’ve ever seen.
February 18th, 2015 at 2:46 pm
Really love Daesung & charming drama!!!!!
