I was not initially interested in watching Cheer Up/Sassy Go Go because it looked like any other over-dramatic prep school drama, but I've enjoyed Jung Eun Ji so much in previous dramas, I just had to see this one regardless of how uninteresting and/or stereotypical the synopsis sounds. Obviously I enjoyed the drama much more than I anticipated because I gave it a 10/10 score, and honestly, Cheer Up deserves it in my opinion. The characters had a lot more layers to them than your average "high school drama," which I liked because that better reflected how people really are. The conflict in the beginning between the "good" students and the "bad" students was not over-the-top which I also liked because sometimes those high school dramas can be too melodramatic or unrealistic to the point of being less enjoyable.

I really wish the synopsis for Cheer Up just had *more* in it so that way the vagueness didn't cause people to look past it. Cheer Up is all about what the synopsis says, but it's also so much more. Cheer Up is also about how people mature over time and through their experiences. Cheer Up is about how people from very different walks of life can be friends and care for each other. Cheer Up heavily supports good morals - if you have to hurt someone to get where you are/want to go, you're not doing it right. Cheer Up also has some sadder points that mostly revolve around how incredible pressure placed on people can make them miserable and cause them to make decisions they wouldn't make if they were adequately supported.

On a more specific level, the love triangle that takes place is sweet and sad at the same time, but don't worry, you won't be sad in the end. The teachers, Mr. Yang and Ms. Nam were such great role models and support systems as well as being entertaining characters to watch. All the loose ends to the story (even though Cheer Up is only a 12 episode drama) were tied up really well and in a good way.

The song, Hold On There, which was comprised of guitar sounds, whistling, and some humming was pleasant sounding and catchy.

Jung Eun Ji did a phenomenal job yet again in her role. For some reason, whenever she cries on screen, I can't help but get teared up too - great job Eun Ji!
This was my first time seeing Lee Won Keun, but I enjoyed his acting and role too! I've enjoyed Ji Soo yet again as well because he did a wonderful job in showing his transformation while working through his struggles. In all the other dramas I've seen Chae Soo Bin in, she's played a "good" character, so seeing her play the antagonist was odd, but I was also glad for her character's transformation. There was not one actor that I found to not be a good fit for this drama.

I will likely rewatch this drama in the future just to watch the characters grow again.
