What's Up? (2024)

The reality of a Job Seeker

The drama tells a story of Mirae a job seeker who is currently experiencing negative emotions associated with job seeking. And it doesn't help that everyone around her is successful and it's adding to an inferiority. But she has glimmer's of hope here and there and it helps her get by.

I think the drama has a slice of life aspect to it because it reflects the real emotions that graduates and the like face in society today and it's easy to see yourself in the characters especially Mirae.

It was a decent watch, nothing too over the top. Acting wasn't too bad and even though some of the side plots are unique to Korea, they still aided the main plot. I am glad it was the focus of the story until the end.

I was shocked to find out that Yooyeon would have her acting debut and I think this drama suited her perfectly. This adult-life type of job works well with Yooyeon and despite not expecting an acting debut from her just now, her acting skills are better than I expected it to be and I can see her being on mainstream television dramas in the future. This drama was a cute short drama that can be relatable to people and I wish there was a season 2 because I thought the chemistry between Mirae and the convinence store guy was really cute and wished they had more of a romance aspect.
