It is gravely important that we surround ourselves with those who make us want to be better and help us achieve our goals.
It is very easy to push each other to great heights or push each other off a cliff.
"What's Up" is the story of a group of musical theater students who must live, learn, and love as they reach for their dreams.
As the story begins we find ourselves at the beginning of the semester as the students are called to audition for the Musical Theater Program for the University!
Kim Byung Gun (Jo Jung Suk from "Oh My Ghostess") is an older student and trying a new career path.
He doubts his self worth and his family has no idea of what he's up to...
Will Byung Gun be able to find his voice? (I hope so!)
The auditions begin!
While Byung Gun is having trouble breathing (at the thought of his upcoming audition) a fair breeze floats in as Eun Chae Young (Jang Hee Jin of "Big") tells Byung Gun that he's going to be ok.
Byung Gun can relax now! He's found a friend in Chae Young!...right?
In the audition we find out that Chae Young is actually a well known actress! (Omo!)
The audition committee question her reasons for coming to their department...mmm...I wonder too!
As Chae Young's audition continues there are people who still haven't even found the audition building!
Jang Jae Hun (Im Ju Hwan of "Oh My Ghostess") desperately tries to find the acting department but no such luck! (it doesn't help that his friend signed him up for Musical Theater! HA!)
On the other hand Park Tae Yi (Kim Ji Won of "Heirs") who's been to the school many times...is just as lost! (Oh no!)
Tae Yi finally finds the audition room (with help from the University Security Officer) and finds a kindred spirit in Ha Do Sung (Kang Dae Sung of BigBang)!
Tae Yi and Do Sung had barely started their conversation when Jae Hun interrupts them to ask a very simple question...
...really...???
I know that every Mother wants the best for her child but Oh Doo Ri's (Im Joo Eun of "Heirs") Mother is undoubtedly overbearing! (she makes you want to rebel!)
Doo Ri needs this audition to help remove her from her Mother's grasp and allow her a moment to breathe...
"What's Up" has a great ensemble cast of young actors who reminded me of my younger days and how I tried my best to see through my darkest times with empathy, humor, and sarcasm. (and I still do!)
Director Song Ji-Won and Writer Song Ji-Na created a campus where the "teachers" taught each of the "kids" lessons about life, human nature, and strength of will! And how together they could figure out "What's Up"!
