What is the grammar being used in “누가 그랬어.”
I saw this sentence and it was translated as “Who did it.” But I’m really confused about the grammar being used here. What meaning is 그러다 taking here? Can’t you just say “누가 했어?”

Question

Answer

Hello, I'm a native Korean speaker.

"그랬어?" is a contraction form of  "그렇게 했어?".
"그렇게 했어?" means "did it so?"
So, I think the correct translation will be "Who did it so?"

Hope it helps.:)
