Best heartfelt drama I watched in a while!!

Sometimes all we want is some silly romance and some characters that feels like friends, Cheer Up has all of that.

I haven't watched a drama so good in so long, that I had to make a full-on review for this one. The thing with kdramas nowadays is that they feel too forced, too right up in your face, or entirely off (at least to me). This drama was so much fun to watch, the characters were silly and entertaining, and time itself just passed too quickly as I was enjoying this.

The main annoying thing for me here was the love triangle plot, it was a tad unnecessary and sometimes cringe to watch. But at the same time I kind of like to see how it pays some homage to the old dramas in that sense, were we are so annoyed that the main leads just keep going around each other and just never committing. Still, I loved it.

The acting was great, the writing was funny and by the end, they dragged a little bit but since I didn't want to say goodbye to the characters or to the drama itself it was fine for me.

Another thing I have to add it's that the whole thriller plot wasn't anything new or actually exciting, but I get that they were going for a more heartfelt kind of watch and the suspense was just there to add a little spice to the relationships and to make character have something other than their family issues to dwell on, I wish it was explored a little bit more 'cause it felt vague by the end, but then again, the drama wasn't really about that.

If you like goofy dramas about college students just being friends and having fun, with a little bit of a silly thriller, you've hit the jackpot!
