Fame! I wanna live forever… Just imagine someone standing in their living room, singing at the top of their lungs and you’ll see me. Why? Because I just finished watching the latest episode of What’s Up, and I have decided to sell off all my belongings and head to Korea so that I may enroll in the university and start singing my heart out. At least until my voice cracks, I miss a step of the choreography and I realize I should just stick to writing. Musical dramas are still new to me and I am kicking myself for not watching them sooner. So for that reason, I’m shining my drama spotlight on them.

My current favorite musical drama is, as I sang above, What’s Up? I had been waiting for this drama for a while. It was completed back in the beginning of 2011 but was delayed for various reasons (perhaps the whole thing with Daesung). Anywho the drama revolves around a group of students that are music majors at college. Kang Daesung plays Ha Do Sung/Hades. When he’s Hades he’s an outgoing famous musician. As Ha Do Sung, he’s introverted and really awkward. Park Tae Yi is a country girl with an amazing voice. Jang Jae Hun comes to the university after committing a terrible crime and wanting to start his life over. The three end up becoming best friends along with Oh Doo Ri and Kim Byung Hun and take you on a roller coaster of emotions as they go through their first year as college majors. This show is funny, sad, exciting and overall amazing. I know I sound like I’m gushing but I can’t stop singing the praises (pun intended) about this drama. Yes there are times when I want to scream at the characters for doing something stupid, but who doesn’t when watching kdramas, right? I am already a bit sad that it’s almost over because there are so many storylines going on that I’m afraid they’re not going to be able to tie everything up in four episodes. Perhaps that means there will be a season 2. The music in this drama is amazing, and rightfully so considering that this is a, you know, MUSICAL drama. They have songs from Phantom of The Opera, Grease and my favorite Fame. I am really looking forward to the OST if they ever put one out.
