feeling down? this is a must watch! really refreshing
this is the kind of thing you will want to watch if you're having a hard moment or simply bored.
as a college student myself, watching kdramas placed in college makes me really excited! it actually gives me the feeling of "woah, i'm 19 and i should live this moment to the fullest". cheer up wasn't any different.
as someone who also enjoys cheerleading, i was already expecting to like this drama. i got so excited over their massive training and the performances. the outfits were mesmerizing and it all just gave me the feeling of wanting to be happy.
do heyi is the perfect female lead for this type of drama. she's cheerful and funny, never gave up and kept bringing happiness to others (me included). i just couldn't drop this even if i wanted to at some point (we'll get there) because i would miss her screaming + her cringe moments. she might be one of my favorite female leads oat! alongside with eun danoh from extraordinary you (my favorite drama ever) and tang xue from skate into love (witch is also a drama about overcoming difficulties mixed with sports).
the love triangle got me a little frustrated i'm ngl, but i liked how they worked things out at the end (even if i wasn't team jungwoo...) with sunoh still being friends with her and most important caring about jungwoo when he got stabbed. the scene where the two male leads talk over dinner a while after sunoh got rejected made me really satisfied. i feel like not a lot of dramas make this closure happen and i think is really important, specially for this plot. i also liked how everyone else became a couple and it wasn't out of the blue, like all of them already had something going on from the beginning and the chemistry was great.
finally, the only thing actually stopping me from rating this 10/10 is the attempted mystery. like yeah it was kinda thrilling in the first four episodes, but to keep it going on until ep 15? that was a lil too much.... they dragged until they couldn't. i would have enjoyed more if it was just a silly lil drama about silly lil cheerleaders! but as it is, i'm giving 8,5/10
the end actually made me tear up a bit. i liked the message and i felt really motivated after watching every episode, so that's a bonus.
