wasted potential

Cheer up had so much potential, but is ruined by a non-sense love triangle and an awful plot.

When I watched Cheer up's first episodes, I feel in love with the characters and the mystery that envolves the theia squad, but when the episodes were passing by, it got terrible.

First the love triangle that they pushed until the last minute and it was one of the main reasons for reducing my evaluation. The SL was so freaking annoying. Even if the female lead rejected him loads of times, he continued to insist. HE KISSED HER WHEN SHE WAS DRUNK, THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN THAT. There were bunch of scenes that the FL looked more like a SL than the actual SL :(. I'm so happy that the SL is going to spend his whole life alone because i hate him sm. Plus, this actor is so good, I'm really looking foward to see a drama with him as the FL, because his acting is so amazing.

Second, the plot. It started so good, with the mystery of the three profecies, but then it got annoying as hell. That guy was actually total stalker obsessed with rules and so freaking annoying, hate him sm. They actually didn't explain if he was caught, but I believe yes, thanks to God. Plus, I actually missed a good plot twist, I wasn't even that interested in the story anymore.

But now the good things, because it wasn't THAT bad. The main couple had bunch of chemestry and all of their scenes made me blush hard. I cringed sometimes, but even that I loved about them, how they were so sweet with each other and happy with the little things, all that mattered was to be together.

My actually favorite part was the secondary couples, they were all so cute and had bunch of chemestry (especially minjae and sunja).

And the squad. I loved the family aspect of them and how they really cared for each other. I simply LOVE a found family trope.

But even with this AWESOME aspects, cheer up was brutally ruined by a terrible plot and an unnecessary love triangle. Inhyuk, please never work with SBS another time :(
