[Thoughts] "What's Up" - Korean Version of "Detroit Metal City"?

Anything with the name "Daesung" just stands out for me these days. My heart leaps every time I see his name or his face. So while I was browsing through some news articles, I found out that he's going to be appearing as the lead of a drama entitled "What's Up". After reading about the brief concept of the drama, I thought to myself "I've seen this somewhere".

It's very similar to the Japanese movie entitled "Detroit Metal City", where Kenichi Matsuyama acts as a university student taking up music who is forced to work as the lead singer of a death metal band to make ends meet. He used to dream about living a classy (think cardigans and tea parties) life once he entered college in the city but all of his dreams crumbled to the ground when he auditioned and got into a death metal band. Fortunately, he was able to separate the vocalist him from the normal him through his make up so he was able to continue being a normal college student despite his rising popularity as a DM vocalist.

I just don't know the details about Deasung's drama but they're pretty similar since Deasung also uses a mask to cover his real identity.

I just realized, it's also somewhat like Hannah Monatana.
