Cheer Up (2022)

This drama is so entertaining.

If you enjoy campus or sporty dramas this one is for you. I like the chemistry between the female lead and the male lead. I started this drama because of my friend's recommendation and it turned out to be fun. Not only does this drama focus on romance, but the genre of this drama also includes mystery and suspense. The suspense between the characters got me gripping the edge of my seat! Every single episode continued to surprise me I couldn't quit thinking about how much I loved it! Even with the slow burn, I still enjoyed every single encounter between the female lead and the male lead!

update:
I ended up dropping it. Everything started great, not until the drama made the second lead look like a psychopath who couldn't accept being rejected by the woman he liked. What annoyed me was the fact that the second lead had more screen time than the male lead. The drama made it look like the second lead (sunho) was the male lead. The plot got worse and worse. The only thing I could say about the drama is that started off great. I would not recommend it.

Cheer Up! Everything's gonna be O.K.

There is a serious loss and disgust of campus spirit from students that wants to do away with the Theia Cheer team.

They got to deal with misplace funds from previous capt.
Then the Dean cut even more of their funding.
But the worse trouble for them all is the prophecies a former cheer turned shamen foretold back in the 90s and with two prophecies that came true there is that (up)pending third.

With the lack of members the Cheer future on campus looks dim.

A 'prickly by the book' ML going through some personal demons
A 'bubbly bright' focus on her money FL
A SML who has openly display his affection for FL.
A rich eccentric lurking about the Cheer team.
A 'was that a scene of a murder' 🤔😶

I'd like to add everything mention above has been laid out in the first 30 minutes of the drama which mean for a 16 episode drama I'm expecting 5-8 episodes being fillers for secondary acting :)

And that is ok, i like this idea for a uni drama- I'll watch this one and see where it goes.

Was not expecting much but was still let down

Cheer Up is soo... infuriating. I watched it till the 7th episode till I couldn't anymore. I hate hate hate FLs who act like that-the constant confused face, drops and loses things all the time, is honestly just ill-mannered and gets passed off as "quirky". The writers gave her the story of a mature, responsible sister who is always looking to make an extra buck but asked her to act like an idiot who doesn't know any better.
I know who she is going to end up with and the guy is so uninteresting, I would rather look at a wall instead. Usually, I wait atleast till the 8th episode to decide if a drama is worth it. But here, I am giving up. It's not worth it. This drama is terrible to say the least.

Not the absolute worst, but not that great either

Is this the worst college drama to ever exist?
Probably not, but it is something of a disappointment.
There’s a lot of lost potential with this one.
Maybe it would have never been a masterpiece, but I do feel like it could have been something decent.
If you’ve watched lots of college centered dramas, this probably won’t be anything outstanding. It might really get on your nerves, though.

I think the cast is fine for the most part, the acting was okay too, and I was generally intrigued by the concept of the cheering squad. Unfortunately, the plot is just NOT it. Attempting to branch out into one too many genres can be detrimental to the story telling and the plot, especially if there’s already an issue with coherency. Sometimes it's best to stick to one thing and actually work out a proper storyline around it.
I started to get quite annoyed at some point and decided to look into spoilers, and that’s when I realized that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy this.

The FL Do Hae Yi had some refreshing traits, among some that were not so refreshing, but I was looking forward to seeing her character grow. Unfortunately, character growth is nowhere to be seen when it comes to any of the leads. While I liked the ML Bae In Hyuk, it seemed like the writers had given up on fleshing out his character further beyond the "Nice Guy" persona, which is a shame.
As for the SML, Jin Sun Ho, I found it quite concerning to see how some people were actually rooting for him. To me, his behavior was very much obsessive, creepy and off-putting. The whole love-triangle was just infuriating.

I liked most of the supporting cast members, and I honestly wish more attention had been paid to the growing friendship between the cheer squad members.
Sad to say, this drama did not cheer me up one bit, instead it left me feeling frustrated and annoyed.

In the end, it was good:)

Many viewers are giving negative comments, some dropped it early on… for me the initial first few episodes were cute. I particularly liked Do Hae Yi. Her character was very refreshing. She’s the type to speak honestly and openly; she’s bubbly and ecstatic , and just very cheery :):)

I put this drama on hold for a bit around the 5th episode. Yes.. the plot line was all over the place. It included some psychopath trying to hurt a member of the squad; so there were some “scary” moments. Uhmmm this didn’t quite fit into the overall vibe of the drama. I came back to it after a few weeks and the pace got better then. Just needed a break I guess. Then there were the mother elements- one got divorced, the other got cancer. So a lot of crying and learning to deal issues.

The love triangle- now many viewers had major issues with this. Personally, it didn’t really give me much angst haha. Meaning to say it didn’t bother me that much. The first kiss with 2ML I felt was not good- he shouldn’t have taken advantage of a drunk woman, but then the vomiting on him was quite funny! Many viewers thought the ML was too good for the FL. I kinda agree- he seems tooooo perfect lol. Didn’t get jealous, was SO understanding and forgiving, and so magnanimous in being there for her despite her wanting to break up. He’s DA MAN!! Plus, I love Bae In Hyuk :)

All throughout the drama, I couldn’t help but wonder about the cheer moves and the costume. Some viewers responded to my comment and said that this is how it’s like in SK.. unlike the American cheer leading. So I just found that quite strange.

It’s a no fluff drama, don’t really have to think hard to understand the plots ;);) and it’s not a binge-watch drama either. Oh, I skipped most of the “older couple” scenes. Too meh to watch haha. It’s a uni drama, just don’t expect too much and you’ll be fine.

where has this been all my life?????

where has this been all my life???? like it was sooooo good, cast was amazing and storyline was also amazing. I just looooove this kdrama. finished this in like a week(because of work😒) but i really liked hae-i and jung-woos relationship, like there wasn’t anything toxic, jung-woo gave hae-i the time she needed and helped her, thats what you do in relationship. at times it felt like sun-ho was main lead because he was everywhere and jung-woo second lead. also they shouldn’t have added that killer dude there, everything was good but then he came and boom everything was bad and sad. I really liked hae-is character she was soooo chaotic, like you never know what comes next with her haha. Jung-woo was also so cute like he shyshy but the way he looked at hae-i🥺🥺love in his eyes. overall very good and it’s like fresh and youthful, this show gave me warmth, how they cared for each other 🥺

A Solid Coming of Age Story

I thought this was a solid coming of age drama. You get a mix of multiple genres, such as romance, friendship, suspense, and some thrill.

in my opinion, it did take some time for the cast to have a solid chemistry. There were moments where I felt some characters were a little bit more plain than others. By the end of it, I was satisfied with the chemistry and how it ended.

my biggest issue was the suspense and thrill part of it. I felt like this “mystery/killer” was unnecessary at some times. It felt like it was only there too give the audience a little break of between the romance, friendship building and character growth.

triângulo amoroso forçado PRECISA ACABAR.

Esse dorama poderia ter sido melhor, ele tinha tudo pra ser uma história de romance e suspense escolar bom, mas o roteiro dessa história é medíocre.


Tentaram de tudo forçar um triângulo amoroso em todos os episódios, eu estava entediada com essa enrolação da personagem, sim é legal ter uma personagem descontraída e engraçada, mas estava ficando chato ela ser assim em todos os episódios.


Sun Ho é um personagem mesquinho que não sabe receber um não como resposta, colocaram a depressão familiar dele como desculpa para essa história de triângulo amoroso forçado dele.

Fora o suspense e o ataque aos personagens que foi ridículo pra história, Sério que plot horrível que criaram aqui, tanto suspense na história pra ser esse o motivo dos ataques RIDÍCULO.

A única parte que eu gostei do dorama em si foi a parte quando eles estavam sendo líderes de torcida, essa sim foi uma das partes boas e descontraídas do dorama. As danças, os ensaios divertidos, as amizades entre eles essas foram as partes que eu mais gostei THEIA EU AMO VOCÊS.

Esse roteiro se perdeu em vários momentos da história mas eu realmente gostei do final, finalmente fizeram algo bom pra história.

A juventude é agora!

Como eu tinha dito, se eu tivesse acontecido ele teria sido horrível me despedir. Eu AMEI tanto! Dramas que se passam na mesma idade e época assim que eu tô vivendo (20 anos, faculdade) me deixa muito sentimental, todas as minhas emoções ficam a flor da pele, principalmente pelo difícil momento que eu tive comigo mesma e sinto que encontrei meu caminho aos poucos e claro que tem obstáculos mas eles foram feitos para eu não desistir e continuar seguindo em frente. Cheer up mais uma vez trouxe isso a tona! Que eu não posso esquecer da minha juventude, que esses são os anos dourados que estou vivendo e os anos que lembrarei com muito gosto. E que delícia é poder dizer que estou vivendo isso, não ainda como eu gostaria pois queria estar fazendo mais, porém cada coisa no seu tempo. Cheer up trouxe muita lição, muito amor e amizade, muita alegria e choro.
Claro que o triângulo teve momentos desnecessários mas tudo se encaixou direitinho depois. Eu amei a química dos personagens, toda a construção em volta da torcida e como isso era importante por apenas fazer parte, por gostar. A coisa pela qual vale a pena. Eu amei os casais, muito fofos. Amei a amizade de todos eles, o elo que criaram, sunja e hae yi!!! 💛🥺
A hae yi foi incrível, não tenho palavras, ela foi excepcional, o sorriso no rosto, a alegria, a vontade, a felicidade com as pequenas coisas. Ela e o Jung woo me fizeram felizes 💛
Queria muito falar de cada personagem, eu amei cada um, foi incrivel acompanhar a história deles. E o final foi a coisa mais linda do mundo, toda a retrospectiva com o grupo, cada um no trabalho. Foi uma delicia, chorei horrores
Que delícia passar meus primeiros dias de férias ao lado de vocês! Obrigada cheer up por ficar na minha memória. 💛

Plot done to death, just kill love triangles and focus on friendship stories T_T

Sassy go go, school 2017, age of youth, my comparisons and my hopes. Sadly it's too much like the 1st two and nothing like the 3rd one

This is cute and she is one of the rare cutie, she's social and fun loving so her bubbly personality makes sense and her past trauma doesn't make her jaded or self pitying. But the story doesn't do anything me
The ml feels bland, I'm glad his getting more recognition but he has no depth, he just feels like the neighborhood's sunbae
Atleast the uni and club stuff should make me nostalgic but I don't connect. The dance doesn't seem to have any purpose

Maybe back in 2016 I'd have liked it more. I compared this to sassy go go tho tho I don't know know if I'd like that either now🤣 I also would've hoped for a age of youth type of friendship but tbh the love triangle and the romance ruins the potential of it being a fun slice of life experience even like school 2017

I wanna be a part of the cheerleading team!!!

Accidentally started to watch this drama because I wanted to see some college romance, light heartfelt drama and this one is really fulfilling- added to it- comedy, mystery and thrilling subplots to the story which I love it.
Wanted to watch it for Han Ji Hyun and Bae In Hyuk but the rest of the cast are adorable as well. Especially Jang Gyuri and Kim Hyun Jin.
Well, I hope to see more development to the plot as it progresses since its kinda really awesome to see a cheerleading squad and with all the performances and excitement. I just want to be a part of "Team THEIA".
