What did you do?

The scene — What did you do?

The idea — What did you do?
어땠어요? means "how was it?" — the all-purpose question to ask about anything that already happened.
Now when someone tells you about their weekend, you've got the one follow-up question that works on all of it — the trip, the movie, the food.
