Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Do Hae-Yi (Han Ji-Hyun) is a student at Yonhee University. She is a bright and diligent person. Because of her family's poor financial situation, she places a priority on making money rather than school. One day, Do Hae-Yi suddenly joins cheering squad Theia. She only joins the club for money. The cheering squad has existed for 50 years at Yeonhee University. While participating in the cheering squad, Do Hae-Yi experiences the joy of campus life and meets various people from Theia including Park Jung-Woo (Bae In-Hyuk), Jin Sun-Ho (Kim Hyun-Jin), Tae Cho-Hee (Jang Gyu-Ri), Joo Sun-Ja (Lee Eun-Saem ) and Bae Young-Woong (Yang Dong-Geun). Bae Young-Woong was once a member of Theia and he is an alumnus of Yonhee University. He supports the cheering squad financially and emotionally.

Comments

Kwan Sep 21 2025 5:36 pm I finally gave up at episode 6. Just didn't interest me in the least at that point. I think I'm getting really tired of all the drinking in Kdramas, it's just too annoying. The FL's character was gross.

mikayla Sep 15 2025 11:58 am waitt the show was so good!!! binged watch within 3 days and was hooked from ep 1. love how there is drama, comedy, romance, and thriller. every episode ended perfectly with suspense... loved it. and i fell for bae in hyuk here.. he was so genuine with hae yi and such a puppyyyy... his dimple is so cute too. the cheerleading performances were also so cool to watch and i love FL hae yi she is so cute and bubbly. i just didnt like her fixation on money but loved how that changed! lovely show that i will rewatch, when i want romantic comedy!

Pk Apr 13 2025 10:31 am Idk why the director give us hope up till ep 15 the second lead win but the ml still win.. on ep 16, only the second lead still single

Tohar N Feb 14 2025 8:52 am TBH, great drama. But second lead was way better, I wished that they will somehow fix it at the end. But they didn’t.

April Feb 01 2025 11:26 am SPOILER

Wow, just finished watching this drama. I see how so many people are saying that the second lead is better but I feel like there's no chemistry between them ; most of you are just saying because he's perfect lol. Now All the actors here are excellent. I love all their character and their acting. I really enjoyed the comedy in the series and it's pretty fun but it started going south at the last 4-5 episodes , the plot got messy and the ending is meh. I would recommend this to someone if they wanna just turn off their brains and have fun. Enjoy this one .

Malayan Nov 15 2024 12:43 am This love story kinda forced. The second lead much better than main lead. Akabta.

Henna Oct 09 2024 7:03 pm As someone noted here, this didn't cheer me up at all. I think the failure of this drama lies with the FL. Her character was annoying on so many levels. She didn't make me laugh, cry, or sympathize in any way. On the contrary, she was obnoxious in how she manipulated others. The umbrella scene is one example. The actress herself didn't show any talent. Could she have better portrayed the character? I'm not sure.

Astrid Sep 25 2024 9:30 am I don’t really understand how people think Sun-Ho is better??

Yes, his character did have development, and he’s helped Hae-Yi in many occasions, but he’s also been a little bit of a red flag since the start.

1. Shitting on Jung-Woo’s character because he broke up with his girlfriend of three months when she literally Cheated on him with another guy. He also rejected her again by telling her that dating him would mean it would make her more lonely.

2. Jung-Woo has always tried to help Hae-Yi, but every time he tried, Sun-Ho would always get in the way and help her instead, (this happened in the 6-7th episode when Hae-Yi’s brother was called in by the police 5th episode when Hae-Yi was drunk, etc).

3. In the 7th or 8th episode, Jung-Woo told Hae-Yi that his love for Yoo-Min is all in the past, by that point he had already begun to like Hae-Yi (starting from the 5th episode).

And yes, Jung-Woo’s character didn’t change or progress by a lot (like Sun-Ho’s character did), in my opinion, he is definitely the better choice for Hae-Yi.

Maya Jun 29 2024 10:51 pm Hello , could you tell me when season 2 of cheer up krama will come out in india?

Park Min Apr 20 2024 9:19 am Well, the drama certainly failed to cheer me up. The entire show was manufactured to be a spectacular disaster. There was no one major issue that held it back but rather a complete systematic failure. Starting from the top of the pyramid, about 80% of the cast members were barely surviving to remain functional. In equal terms, about 80% of the characters were generic youth NPCs from a modern lens. Speaking of characters, how did the writer think that writing the female lead this way was appealing in the slightest? It's baffling! That's also applicable to her cheap copy-cat, Joo Sun Ja, sharing the same revolting DNA. Moving on to relationships, pairs, ex-lovers, triangles, and squares, all of which can be tagged as insufferable spectacles. The reason why the drama added the mystery side plot is because it was unbelievably dry and was in desperate need for something supplementary to help creating the illusion that something is actually happening. It wouldn't have been bad if it served a functional purpose with the overarching narrative. Now, this is a drama about cheering and dancing but this had the worst moves I've ever seen in this context. It was nothing more than choreographed performances by PE teacher for elementary kids. It's seriously bad and embarrassing! Especially when it's coming from Kpop-land. Obviously, there were a lot more to be said but these were some of the highlights. The writer worked on both V.I.P (2019) and this drama, a solid bad track record so far, should be very cautious with future projects.

kdramaddict77 Jan 08 2024 3:55 am just watching because of bae in-hyuk

Joe Dec 15 2023 12:41 am I Liked the first 10 Episodes and hated the last 6, so i skipped them. It's always the same ending with the two lead actors. So boring.

Second lead syndrome Dec 13 2023 12:57 am Just finished ep.10, watch this drama bcs of bae in hyuk, but fell in love with Kim hyun jin. Though I know he's the second lead but i felt bad for him that he had to suffer like that. The chemistry with hae yi is there and up until ep.10 i guess hae yi spend more time with seon ho? And seon ho who always there for hae yi. The connection is just there although i dont really like the FL character. Oh and thankfully the kiss was between hae yi and seon ho lol. So excited

Looking forward for Hyun jin new project!!!

Watevah Nov 25 2023 4:30 am I watched hundreds of kdrama already and this is the first time that I really hate the FL character. Dropping at episode 8. Her character is so annoying, childish and I don't like her face expressions.

AYUSHI DAS Nov 03 2023 4:42 am Rollercoaster ride of emotions but I'm happy it really ended well.

addicted07 Sep 23 2023 12:53 am Thank god I decided to watch this after it ended. Now I'm dropping it because of severe 2nd lead syndrome. I can't imagine how stressed I would have been if I was watching it while it was still airing

R. Sep 19 2023 1:30 pm Was at 3rd episode ' after true beauty. Damn . Not gonna watch it .. mood spoiled terribly.

i cant take the second lead syndrome ' degaa wae ,???? Of all humans second lead has to suffer . Not gonna watch . Thank God i saved my time and come to check it out because i know if i wouldnt it ll take months to get over it .. thankyou for the end ..try to make second lead or a villan win .they deserve it too .. ??

Poluem_c Jul 30 2023 10:01 am I'm in episode 10 and got excited in 11 for the hint of kissing with Sunho and Haeyi. If this two doesn't work out because they are not the main lead couple here, everything is a mess up here. They have more chemistry than the main lead for sure!! Nakakabwisit na kung hindi talaga sila magkatuluyan???

Jenny Jul 05 2023 3:07 pm Currently at episode 8.

I love this drama. Not stressful and actors are good. It's my 1st time to watch kdrama with unfamiliar lead characters to me. I enjoyed every episode. And I love it! ♥️

Hoping for Sun Ho and Hae Yi next project. Though I like Jung Woo, I'm still hooked with Sun Ho. ?

More drama for the lead actors pleaseeee.

Rue May 23 2023 11:26 am [LONG POST AHEAD. This is my take on it. Up to you whether to read up to the end ??‍♀️]

I've recently just finished the series, and I'm really surprised that it was getting a few hate comments, and a Lot of complaints regarding the main leads.

I knew some of Bae In Hyuk's shows, but haven't gotten the chance to watch them yet, so this was the first time that i actually got to watch him. And i was surprised to find myself more attracted to him than to the more attractive Sun Ho (yes, I'm referring to the character, not the actor who played him).

There's this certain charm to In Hyuk's character and how he portrayed it that i just could not see in Sun Ho. And while i do agree that Sun Ho had a better character development throughout the series, I still wouldn't say that Jung Woo was bland and boring though.

[SPOILER ALERT for those who haven't seen the show]

> Realistically speaking, I'd prefer a guy like Jung Woo over a guy like Sun Ho anytime. Jung Woo was smart, diligent, sincere, and really did try to put everyone's best interest first. And while he may have been harsh on Hae Yi a couple of times, and it's not that I'm justifying it, but i kind of understand that he was only doing what he thought was right, considering he holds a big responsibility over the team. Also, he apologized for most of it without sounding as if he's trying to make an excuse. The only thing he did that i would probably consider a really bad thing was when he constantly lied to his mother about his academics... And the fact that he didn't even tell her about the cheering squad. (I mean, i also wouldn't wanna report everything that happens to me to my parents, but i also wouldn't wanna hide something so important to them.) He could've atleast considered her feelings, and trusted that she'd understand him. She could've even supported him.

Welp, that's sorted out anyway.

> Hae Yi might not have been the best female lead either, but Han Ji Hyun served. That's a fact. I liked her micro expressions, no matter how squeaky and annoying. She delivered exactly what it's like to be in Hae Yi's age (childish and loud around friends), an adult (strict and nagging towards her brother, assumed responsibility over her family's finances), and as a child (as she goes through her fear of being abandoned by her mother). I'm not the biggest fan of The Penthouse, but i do find her performance there very impressive. And while her performance in Cheer Up didn't top that, I'd still say that she did the role well.

> Sun Ho had the same typical traits as the usual second male lead characters, so i didn't have much expectations for it, but Kim Hyun Jin was undeniably attractive, so i still got some heart-fluttering moments from him. Also, considering that Kim Hyun Jin and Han Ji Hyun are the same age irl, im assuming they're more comfortable around each other, which i believe they sort of showed on screen whether intentional or not.

> The routines, the performances were my favorite part of the show. Whenever they have a performance, i also imagine myself being one of the crowd, just headbanging in with everyone, dancing and singing along to Theia's perf. (TMI. I also dance, so imagining being able to perform in such huge crowds, i also felt their thrill and excitement. I was even proud of them at some point).

> Lastly. Writing. It had its moments-- some cute, some decent, some unnecessary, and some simply random. Still doesn't make the entire show bad though. Overall, 7.5/10 for me. Meaning, I'd probably rewatch it, but only for certain scenes.

Kelly Mar 23 2023 12:15 pm Maybr it all depends on one’s taste of kdrama. For me i loved the chemistry of female lead and thr captain. They looked better together than fl wd second male lead. Again, that is my opinion. Story is a good college drama, although i did not enjoy the cheering scenes, too long and not my kind of cheering. Female lead may seem annoying on some scenes but in general she was okay. She reminds me of lee sung kyung but of course i love lsk more. I just gave this drama a try and i liked it. Didn’t like the love triangle story. I just enjoyed it because i liked the chemistry of the main leads, supporting actress moms were good, its also a story that college students could relate on.

Tililing Mar 15 2023 10:08 am I don't understand the FL character. She's helping her family financially since an early age, is dependable and stable. I don't get why she acts immaturely. She can be upbeat and positive about life without those cringey squeaks and faces.

az Mar 03 2023 9:55 am I think it's kinda good college drama and I don't find the heroine annoying, she is funny and responsible. you know, the oldest sibling vibe. But the story is boring in the middle, especially the love triangle. Once it is sorted out, they catch up the pace. And, I like the ending. They show the future for everyone. not just the main.

Clare Jan 25 2023 10:44 am Omg!!!. I should gave left it at where sun ho kissed hae yi... I hate the chemistry between hae yi and captain.. It seems so forced... I skipped those last 3 episodes.. Dropping it right away!!

KY Jan 11 2023 12:48 am This drama is more about youth/college life and finding yourself. The romance was lighthearted, so I think that's why many people were upset but I think it fit perfectly with the theme/genre of this drama.

Everyone had great chemistry and there many hilarious moments. Tbh, I liked the supporting characters more than the main leads, but that's just my opinion.

Anon Jan 08 2023 11:30 am Currently on ep 8.

I don't understand those that having SML syndrome????

Like the character is not that charismatic or heart fluttering at all. The actor also aee not top notch in term of visual. His acting also very so so.

Amanda Jan 03 2023 11:44 am Really enjoyed watching this drama and no matter what the chemistry between Hae Yi and Captain is top notch. The actors were all working with good chemistries actually. Don't bother for others who bad commenting due to their support for the 2nd lead character and just feel free to enjoy youth romance

Abiola Dec 21 2022 6:04 pm I'm dropping this drama. I'm glad I got to see Sun ho and hae yi kissed.

Rc137 Dec 18 2022 1:37 pm I loved this this drama! I’ve rewatched the last 2 episodes twice already. So good and cheery. I really liked the lead actress. She (Han Ji-Hyun) is so pretty and talented. So “bright” and energetic despite having to be the “bread winner”. I’m going to miss her character (Do Hae Yi). Her acting was really good. I’d have to check out her other “credits”. Other than the psycho delusional stalker crazy person of the cheer squad, this was a “light”/fun drama that brings back memories about college life. I liked how the cheer squad’s focus was to get people hyped up about school spirit instead of focusing on doing a series of stunts. Highly recommend this drama and plan to rewatch.

Xing Dec 17 2022 2:13 pm They made the girl's character too annoying and Overacting. Always shouting, cringy squecky and unnecesary actions. Always crying, too "money-slave". I thought her acting in Penhouse was good. What happened? Bae Inhyuk is handsome though hekhek

Ap Dec 17 2022 10:56 am I really don't get why people hate this drama. For me, it's one of the best school drama I have watched. Thank you Cheer Up casts! You did well!!

Diva Dec 16 2022 12:12 pm This was the worst Kdrama on my 2022 list, they made suspense for nothing, lead actress forced to be nice, couples without chemistry. They tried to soften the bad "way" of this kdrama only in the final episode, which was super poorly prepared, the script was the worst. I was watching and skipping some parts, too boring. There are some actors who can be invested in other kdramas. I don't recommend!

P.S: This is just my opinion, you don't need agree with that!

BronCho Kerr Dec 14 2022 12:36 pm I recommend watching until the episode where Hae Yi and Sun Ho kissed that's it because it went downhill from there just check the ratings. Not worth rewatching just like Start-Up & Love Alarm you'll have 2nd lead syndrome poor Sun Ho.

jillian Dec 13 2022 7:07 am Han Ji-Hyun - I hate this FL here. Her acting is nowhere to find and scattered. Her character seems a little bit stupid ( pardon my word) and overacting. Bae In-Hyuk - I was able to watch him before from My Roommate is a Gumiho and At a Distance Spring is Green. I find him a good actor. That's why we look forward to watching this as well. However, this drama is not the kind that you may want to watch and recommend.

jihoon jeojang Dec 12 2022 10:04 am ngl the writing is scattered everywhere. they have powerful actors/actresses such as han jihyun who also played as joo seokgyeong in penthouse and we all know how good she is there. then there's bae inhyuk who also acted in at a distance, spring is green and newly released under the queen's umbrella..

this series has so much potential but the writing is just awful, they forced the love triangle so much that it made the second lead from lovable character also called as second lead syndrome to the most hatable and annoying second lead..

the plot was interesting at first, but keeps going slower and slower, it's barely progressing. anyway, i still like it overall

Rose Dec 12 2022 7:28 am The comments here are ... Anyway, I love cheer up especially the main leads Bae In Hyuk and Han Ji Hyun~ fighting! Last 2 episodes but I know this will be a happy ending ❤️ HaeWoo couple 'til the end ^^

1ndig0 Dec 08 2022 2:19 pm this drama is all over the place...they have a pretty good cast, but the writing is awful. I stopped watching at one point, and though maybe it might've changed and jumped back in. Nope. It just feels like they wanted to bring every typical kdrama storyline into this. There's no foundation to the drama.

Jan R. Dec 08 2022 1:15 am Anyone knows what's another good Kdrama? i decided to drop cheer up LMAO

BronCho Kerr Dec 07 2022 7:42 am Red Flags: Sun Ho vs Captain 1. Sun Ho breaks up with a girl after one week vs Captain breaks up with rival cheerleader captain after 3 months but that's ok??? Yeah right 2. Sun Ho studies well vs Captain bums around takes 1st year classes as a Senior 3. Sun Ho loves her mom vs Captain rebellious against her mom and doesn't want her mom to bring her home cooking like who does that??? 4. Sun Ho loves Hae Yi right from the beginning vs Captain who loves 3 girls (Yoo Min, rival cheerleader captain, Hae Yi) 5. Sun Ho helps Hae Yi's brother vs Captain doesn't give a shit 6. Sun Ho has chemistry with Hae Yi vs Captain tries so hard but is stiff and cringy I swear I fast foward those cringy parts 7. Sun Ho very friendly has a best buddy vs Captain fights with his cheerleading buddies I will add more if I think of something new to add

Sunho Dec 07 2022 4:03 am It seems like the only way for Sunho to move on from Hae yi is to see his mom happy after getting divorced from his father.You know parents has a great impact to the mentality and decisions of their children... Seeing his mom moving on with her life happily i guess may heal his wound caused by his parents trauma..

Sepanx Dec 06 2022 11:18 am The only way for Sunho to change is to see his mother happy after getting divorced from his father... Children tend to follow their parents paths subconsciously because they have high regards towards their parents.

Shai Dec 06 2022 6:35 am In the first episode, Haeyi seems like she is remembering the spring of 2019. She sounds happy having a trip down the memory lane when she met the Captain but Sunho is also already there from the very beginning.

Shai Dec 06 2022 6:26 am What if Captain is the one who would die and Haeyi ends up with Sunho? I dunno. They keep on giving hints that Sunho will end up with Haeyi specially on the latest ep.

stay single Dec 06 2022 1:27 am I don’t support either of the male leads for Haeyi but I do have to admit that Sunho gets more character development in a single episode than Jungwoo has had the entire season. Jungwoo’s character is so flat and just….not that developed. Haeyi is better off single at this point lol.

Daway Dec 05 2022 10:11 pm I think sunho wants to experience what his mother is going through, and now his father wants a divorce

April Dec 05 2022 1:52 pm You know that you're a bit twisted and you need to change your standard when despite seeing the signs and warnings, you will still choose a walking red flag. While it is true that people grow and change, still we will never know. Are you willing to take that risk? On Haeyi's case, she clearly know who she wants. So stop pushing your ship and get your acts together hahahaa Cheer up is definitely, a Kdrama for GenZ. Don't ignore the red flags, teeners!

NGS Dec 05 2022 8:55 am Could HaeYi just find another man? Like. I am so tired look at her has to choose, try not to make anyone sad, and could not be honest to herself. Maybe new man or new life could make her start fresher and happier..

Aldrin Dec 01 2022 5:29 am I really liked this drama before. And to be honest, I stopped watching after Hae-yi chose Jung-Woo over Sun-Ho. I'm Team Sun-Ho, btw. But I think it's a mistake making Sun-Ho into a walking red flag. He doesn't have to be a bad guy. He was misunderstood at first and he already had his character development in the early episodes. I think the screenwriter realized that the viewers liked Sun-ho more than the lead actor.

Linda Nov 30 2022 6:20 pm I think Sunho will give up on Haeyi once his mother decides to leave his father. He may realise (with help from his mother) that a one sided love will only make both parties miserable.

Ai Nov 30 2022 7:08 am Kim jin il seems to like jung woo ?

RedFlagSunHo Nov 30 2022 5:42 am All Sun Ho shippers must like toxic relationship. Sun Ho is a walking red flag and a spoiled brat.

rai Nov 29 2022 11:34 am lol @ these comments supporting Sunho and hating then on Jungwoo.

honestly, I have nothing against Sunho, like irdc about him being the other guy in Haeyi's life. I even think it's ok if he ends up with Haeyi (if justified in the story), but all these comments saying that Sunho should end up with Haeyi just because Jungwoo "played" with her feelings? or because it's awkward to see Haeyi and Jungwoo together? that's kinda weird...? uhhh... at least Jungwoo doesn't throw a fit aka quitting the team just because a girl doesn't like her back?? at least Jungwoo doesn't use other girls to get over the girl he likes then dump them when convenient for him??? And at least Jungwoo doesn't take advantage of someone's drunk state then proceeds to kiss her??? there's no excuse at all for this, Unless she says they're ok with it. see, those are legit redflags which were done by who? yep, Sunho. so I don't think Sunho fans have the right to hate on Jungwoo because their fave is more problematic. and btw, if we change the scenario to Jungwoo kissing Haeyi while she's drunk, I won't defend him. that's very wrong and it'd be a redflag on him.

now, saying that Jungwoo "played with Haeyi's feelings" doesn't actually count as a reason not to be chosen. he didn't do it out of wanting to hurt her. he didn't really want to back out of confessing, remember? he thought about it. Haeyi's life was in danger. he thought it was a way to protect her (I'm also not happy with what he did tho, I believe it was a very bad move), but unfortunately, it hurt her.

oh, and if you're wondering why did Haeyi kissed Sunho back, let me tell you. that's because SHE'S DRUNK. "hmm but why was Haeyi deciding so hard between Sunho or Jungwoo? that means she also had feelings for Sunho." I beg to disagree. Haeyi likes Jungwoo to begin with. even if she knew Sunho likes her, Haeyi still likes Jungwoo. she even rejected him, right? Haeyi had a hard time choosing between them, NOT because she liked Sunho too, but probably because one of these reasons:

1. Haeyi unknowingly jailed herself to fact that they kissed, which confused herself into thinking that she likes him too. basically, if there's no kiss, there's nothing to talk about, Sunho won't even stand a chance.

2. Haeyi just felt conflicted choosing between two opposite guys: the guy who she likes and apparently likes her back but "played" with her feelings once vs. the guy who has always been good to her, who expressed his feelings, and whom she kissed. this is also something like the dilemma of choosing between "the guy who i like vs. guy who likes me"

3. Haeyi felt touched (or badly put, he pitied him) for all the good things Sunho has done for her and all the effort he exerted into his one-sided feelings.

so basically, it was Jungwoo whom Haeyi liked all along. we have to accept that. unless, of course, the plot changes and things unfold differently as the story goes.

this comment isn't meant to hate on Sunho. I just had to highlight Sunho's redflags to knock some senses to people who hate on Jungwoo and comment about why Sunho is a better match for Haeyi (when his actions were worse that Jungwoo's). it's hella annoying. yes, he was there for Haeyi when she was struggling and he was a big help to her, I give him that! however, we can't forget his own wrongdoings.

and tbh... y'all can't really expect Haeyi to end up with Sunho, I mean, just look at the posters... plus, they didn't establish Sunho as a lead leveled with Haeyi and Jungwoo, unlike in Love Alarm 2 where the second lead guy was hinted to end up with the female lead. damn, some people are even threatening to drop the show if the next episodes don't favor Sunho lmaoooo ok then good bye I guess???

Chris G Nov 29 2022 10:45 am Why hasn’t episode 12 come on yet. It’s supposed to come out on November 29th but it’s not showing up in the episodes. Anyone else getting it?

Lamme jane Nov 28 2022 11:17 pm This is not good oo, i thought sun ho was the one for hea yi, sun ho hasn't done anything wrong, he is the guy i wanted for her, this drama is tiring, it feels so awkward how hea Yi ended up with captain, i wanted to drop the drama but i still have hope for sun ho, he may still be the guy for her, i pray so.

Ju Nov 28 2022 10:24 am The comments supporting sunho yikessssss. Like how can you support him when he's being nothing but weird throughout the whole story so far

Hhhh Nov 27 2022 5:51 pm Did yall forget the time when hae yi reject sunho and he quit the squad, date a new girl, re-join the squad and dump that girl just like that?

Chyuri Nov 27 2022 5:36 am You guys gotta stop hating Sunho, he was there to comfort Haeyi at times she was down. He's been observing her and holding back because he knew from the start that they wouldn't end up together. Despite that, he said that he was fine with having a one-sided love and still stayed there beside her. That shows his love for her, how serious he was, and how devoted he was. Compared to the main lead, he played with her feelings and then suddenly confessed. None of them were good enough for Haeyi. So there's no need for us to bash any of the main leads. Sunho kissed Haeyi when she was drunk (yes, he took advantage of her) but why did Haeyi kiss back and was thinking hard about whether to choose Sunho or Jungwoo? It means that she also had feelings for Sunho. Just because we all know that they won't end up together, it doesn't mean that Sunho is all toxic for kissing her. If Jungwoo was the one who kissed drunk Haeyi, will you all be hating him too? You won't. "Because he's eventually going to end up with her, it doesn't matter." That's what you guys will be saying. So let's just not add fuel to fire, Sunho is Sunho, we have no control over him. If you hate him that much, then drop the drama. Don't keep bashing and defaming his character by only looking at the negative things, look at the positive side too.

Badme Nov 26 2022 8:20 pm I loved Cheer Up but I stop watching coz I don't like a drama that have love triangle.

Rav Nov 21 2022 5:41 am Some proportions of peoples support sunho and i don't know what is that means!!! His personality is sucks only is beautiful face and wealthy. Sun ho is manipulative selfish jerk. He goes everywhere in the hae yi ,he stick like a glue or in other words stalker. Toxic people loves supporting the Sun ho. He taking advantage of drunken Female Lead, some people support that and justifies the Sun ho behaviour. Below seen some people support the toxic second lead and talk about the their chemistry. I haven't seen any chemistry between them. Writer has no ideas in character development that is the captain is made poorly written character and make up such draggy love triangle. Second male lead is an unnecessary character in this drama other than glueing hae yi he has no purpose to devlier of his character in this drama. Writer want to focus main leads and their character development, mystery, cheerleading rivalry that kind of stuffs. Outdated love triangle ideas implemented and now suffering for good ratings.

team sunho Nov 20 2022 8:02 pm the girl is so lucky to have sunho supporting and saving her all the time,,,too bad she fall to the egoistic captain who wasnt sure of his feelings? i hope the next episodes will favor sunhos side or else i wont continue watching it like other comments??? sorry direct

Cheer up Nov 20 2022 8:50 am I really want sun ho to end up with hae yi he was always the one i rooted for from the beginning till now, i know he kissed her while she was drunk which is wrong but just look how much he loves her. To be honest i really wanna drop this drama but part of me still believes that maybe just maybe there is a chance she will actually end up with sun ho. When i compare jung woo’s love for hae yi and sun ho’s the captain doesn't live her as much as sun ho does. Sun ho puts so much effort to make do hae yi like him, i really hope that do hae yo will end up with sun ho like pleasee me and the hae yo and sun ho shippers really want her to end up with sun ho he deserves herr pleaseeee

Mo2 Nov 19 2022 9:19 am Am dropping this drama after eps 11 hahah, the girl aint make a good couple with the captain like At All. Wasting my time.

sunho Nov 19 2022 2:46 am sunho TT TT the scene where sunho left after rejection is really unnecessary. sunho will not do that. she likes hae yi more than that

anyways gonna have to drop it after the rejection cause I can't stand seeing haeyi and the captain. his awkwardness is just too fake:)

wellwell Nov 18 2022 11:59 pm Honestly only started watching this drama because of Han Ji Hyun, loved her in Penthouse, but found the male leads pretty boring, but then found out that many people were raving over Sun Ho?? If anything it felt like Sun Ho was just a typical selfish and wealthy spoilt brat— and also Sun Ho kissed her without consent when she was drunk when he obviously knows that she doesn’t like him :/ at this point I might’ve started rooting for Jung Woo because I’m starting to really dislike Sun Ho lmao

noor Nov 17 2022 2:14 pm I really want to sun woo and haeyi became couple . plzz do something, captain was good but sunwoo is best and is unfair for him after the kiss plzz doo something.......i really requeste you otherwise my heart wil break that whe i don't see triangle love story.

Amanda Nov 17 2022 1:23 pm The chemistry between haeyi and the captain is okay at best i really like haeyi’s interactions with sunho better. I understand that their kiss was when they’re drunk but come on the writer is toying with the watcher’s hearts too much and in some ways the character’s hearts too. I knew from the start that the capt is the main lead but they really tried to play the scenario that sunho has a solid chance for the last few ep before ep 11, and the last 10 minutes of the episode ruined it.

The only reason haeyi felt more of a connection with the capt was because they both lost their father, its been the only topic of their conversation for the past couple episode and they’re milking that trauma.

those who says sunho is selfish and only cares about himself is correct but thats not necesarily a bad thing because when it comes to haeyi or the people he like/loves he actually does care about them them.

I hate love triangle like this in drama because the second male lead just felt used by the writer as an added conflict to spice up the main love line, and there’s never any real chance for the second male lead so we all just felt shitty for watching this. Writer that want to use the love triangle plot should make it really unpredictable who’s going to be the end game so that everyone can enjoy watching till the last ep, imagine how many person’s gonna drop this drama after ep 11 like me, wasted potential.

nana Nov 17 2022 9:42 am The drama is fun, the love triangle is annoying and dragged on too long. However, the main couple is beautiful and you can see how they develop their feeling so naturally. The second male lead is attractive but pushy, only cares about his feeling, and very childish. The girl is a very fun character though!

BLINK4EVER Nov 17 2022 8:19 am This is like my favourite K-Drama it is so nice and funny everyone here should start watching I promise it is soooo nice and really funny and some love scenes

Laras Nov 17 2022 7:40 am Why all of them are in the same class in university when they are taking different major? Su ho is medical student and captain is taking astronomy. One more thing, if captain is their senior, how come he is in the same class too ?

Iyeah Nov 17 2022 6:37 am I hope they changed the title of this drama cuz story is the opposite of cheer up.

Linda Nov 17 2022 12:01 am I wonder if they will delve into the backstory as to why Hae Yi had that panic attack when they were stuck in the basement.

Eugenia Nov 16 2022 3:52 pm Rooting for hae yi and sun ho...they make a cute couple and have great chemistry too

Joila Nov 16 2022 2:25 pm I like the story, but why I find the female lead so annoying at times. Her acting is great, but too much exaggerations. I'm on episode 5 and thinking to drop, but I'll give it a try and see how the story eMscalates and if she can turn it around.

Da-Knee Nov 16 2022 11:25 am I got hooked up in this drama because of In Hyuk and Ji Hyun, also the mystery plot behind the cheering squad. I love the friendship between Do Hae Yi and her bestie Sunja^^. I feel unsettled because I still got the feeling that Haeyi will end up with Sunho in the later episodes I think something bad will happen to Haeyi and Jungwoo will blame himself because of that (maybe I'm over thinking).

Im so curious as to why Kim Jin-Il hold grudge against the cheering squad? Maybe because he's heartbroken due to the rule that THEIA members can not date with their fellow squad mates?

Looking forward for the next ep! Rooting for Jungwoo and Haeyi :3

wolfieanu Nov 16 2022 7:04 am in 11th eposide i thought she is gonna choose jin sun ho, and i believe it she is smart enough to choose who is better for her, ughhhhhhhhhhhhh , just cant believe how could she be that stupit, writer please give us happy ending with jin sun ho

Ana Banana Nov 16 2022 6:39 am I barely comment in Kdrama threads but this one got me. I honestly love the storyline (probably one of my favorites) and I’m a fan of Bae In Hyuk since My Roommate is a Gumiho that’s why I’m rooting for him. BUT I honestly feel that there’s a stronger chemistry between Sun Ho and Hae Yi in this drama. (T_T) And the fact that their moms are kinda cute together made me want to believe that they are meant for each other (some plot twist or something)

So yeah. Although there are still few more episodes but looks like Hae Yi already made up her mind. I just hope Hyun Jin and Ji-Hyun have their own drama to make up for our little heartaches. :’)

Andre Nov 16 2022 6:27 am Hae Yi shouldn't choose both of these guys, they are both good guys and loves Hae Yi ?. As for me I don't like this love triangle anymore ?

Kenny Nov 16 2022 4:59 am Writer you still have time to rethink who will be the mainlead. :)))))

tata Nov 16 2022 4:46 am I came here just to see the people's reaction about ep 11, and I'm not mistaken. Dar Yi and sun ho chemistry and relationship must do. While watching EP 11 and see sun ho leave the cafe I get the feeling that dae yo picks junwoo, I suddenly gets disappointed and not willingly to finish the remaining minutes of the EP. ?

BronCho Kerr Nov 16 2022 4:32 am The kiss scene of the Captain and Hae Yi doesn't have any chemistry at all. The acting of the Captain is so stiff. Meanwhile the kiss scene with Sun Ho wow pure cinematography I replayed it a couple of times. Poor Sun Ho.

Tina Nov 15 2022 3:56 pm Am rooting for Jin sun ho

blahblah Nov 15 2022 3:32 pm SPOILER

SPOILER

omg the kiss sequence btw sunho and haeyi is what my dreams are made offffff

Ellen Nov 15 2022 10:41 am Have Yi and Sun Ho One thing I am sure about their relationship it will end in tears, I'm sorry to say that but Sun has so many skeletons and past. For instance we still don't know why he broke up with his last girlfriend who brought him brake up cake and the girl seemed upset. Also the way he treats people is not okay, he's rude and unapologetic and doesn't care about other people as he does whatever he wants and does not care about others opinions . The way he used that girl to get attention from Hae Yi was not right. I just feel sorry for Hae Yi for choosing Sun Ho but we'll just have to watch to see if they live happily ever after or it ends bad. Maybe I might be wrong and Sun Ho really changed his bad behavior or maybe I'm right we'll see. I also fear that Sun Ho might take Hae Yi's innocent, well he already did anyways.

But other than that I love the series there is just so much chemistry between each and every character. The storyline is so much fun and amazing to watch and quite interesting with all the mistery and romance.

BronCho Kerr Nov 15 2022 9:49 am Team Sun Ho here!!! Please please please jebal it should be Sun Ho not the Captain. I don't like the Captain for Hae Yi.

Trashi Jamyang Nov 15 2022 7:45 am Episode 10 ending is epic. Sun-ho got the first kiss and I'm the happiest person alive ? I wish they end up together. sun-ho can do anything to make haeyi happy and Jung woo would leave her giving mixed signals. Biggest red flag. Although, he confesses, he's late.. Rooting for sun-ho and Haeyi. ?

Sepanx Nov 15 2022 5:42 am I dont know about others but this is my just mu unpopular opinion. Im rooting for Do Hae Yi and Sunho together. I will truly deeply hate the writer if he/she give me false hope just like what happened in love alarm. Tsk tsk...

Jenelle Viovicente Nov 15 2022 5:34 am Still rooting for Sunho?Hae Yi??? I Love Them Both they really match well then have the good chemistry

Lalallalalalalalala Nov 14 2022 3:39 pm They Are Changing SL To ML ?? Me being team SL but inhyuk should get the girl this time ?

Ri Nov 11 2022 3:47 pm I love it so much!! I'm just confused as to who Do Hae-Yi will end up with and that just tells how exciting and amazing the storyline is. Although I think the leading man is Park Jung-Woo, I will still root for Jin Sun-Ho. Team 2nd lead!! Absolutely can't wait for the next episode!

Kai Nov 11 2022 2:53 am OMFG I just realised episode 16 will be a week after episode 15... why... might as well delay episode 9 as well...

Rc137 Nov 10 2022 12:08 pm Loving this drama! The two main leads, Han Ji Hyun (Do Hae Yi) and Bae In Hyuk (Park Jung Woo), are doing a wonderful (really good) job! Han Ji Hyun is so attractive looking (especially in her cheer outfit. I don’t like American cheerleading these days because it’s too focused on doing stunts rather than actual cheerleading. Korean cheer squad really makes the festival looks sooo exciting and fun. The colorful (kind of over-the-top) outfits and bold gestures choreographed to music gets the students really hyped up. I’d like to experience something like that again. It must be so exhilarating to have the whole amphitheater filled with students chanting and singing with their youthful school spirit!

zai Nov 08 2022 11:05 pm so... does ep 10 drop next week then, or will they make a slot for it this week ?? i'm too impatient bc i need it NOW

Not needed Nov 08 2022 5:19 am Will episode 9 drop today or not?

Deric Jay Tamayo Nov 07 2022 7:47 am this drama deserves more views. and recognitions, this drama has a well written storyline as far as i can tell, and every episode is ?, i don’t understand why other people hated this. i know for sure that this drama may not be a hit on korea, but internationally i know this will be a blast! more acting projects for han jiyun, bae inhyuk, and kim hyunjin please! the cast deserves a lot of love??

sy_faa Oct 30 2022 11:48 am Since they're currently in mourning period, will SBS show this drama tomorrow??

a Oct 29 2022 9:09 am this is still a wholesome drama of 2022, we need more like this. the darkness is not too dark, it's realistic how some people hold grudges and can be evil, sometimes they are evil for no reason.

it's the positivity of Han Ji Hyun that shines, and ofc Jang Gyuri too

Pacifist Oct 28 2022 2:55 pm I love the plot sequence, but I think they should remove it from the comedy genre. It's a little too dark and realistic for the comedy genre. I love the movie in general and KHJ is doing a fantastic job for a newbie. Oppa hwaiting

Real k Oct 26 2022 12:08 pm I maybe wrong but this drama is starting to get really dark for just a romance comedy. Makes me think that this drama will end in a tragedy. I say that because we are introduced to 3 prophecies and 2 came true already so there's a good possibility the 3rd one will too, and someone will die. How else will Hae-yi's character grow to appreciate life and not be obsessed with money all the time unless someone close to her dies and reminds her that life is too short to not enjoy it fully. Plus this drama takes place in 2019 meaning she should be in her senior year in the present and possibly the captain of her own cheer squad.

Flower Oct 26 2022 5:09 am I am team jung woo I wish jung woo and hae yi ends up together

BronCho Kerr Oct 26 2022 2:38 am I'm Team Sun Ho I don't like the Captain with just one expression on his face all through out the series lol acting not good and has lisps.

Nana Oct 25 2022 9:27 pm I wish haeyi and jungwoo were together shouldn't that be because they both are the main characters I'm team captain jungwoo hwaiting you're so cool i can feel the chemistry of the two

Totallytwisted Oct 25 2022 4:35 pm Lee Yoo-Min, it is Park Jung-Woo crazy girlfriend????

Toby Oct 25 2022 3:37 pm Yook I agree with you,I’m dropping this drama ASAP suho is so annoying and he his also a big red flag fr

Yook Oct 25 2022 9:32 am Why do I feel like that male lead wont get the girl again? Its so frustrating!!!

Cath Oct 25 2022 8:03 am I'm sorry is everyone who support sun ho and hae yi okay? If you see up there, it's Clear that the main characters are Hae Yi and Jung Woo. So obviously they're gonna end up together. ??‍♀️ and besides, if someone who acts like sun ho took a liking in me, I would Run So Hard. It's creepy and annoying. Like, I know you like her but she didn't like you, she even rejected you. Hae yi only think of sun ho as a friend, and he should be grateful she recognise him, even as a friend.

rinveila Oct 25 2022 4:38 am I think I will dropped this drama after ep 6... do have yi character is just annoying, like she's too materialistic and only care with money. If only the scripwriter make have yi less materialistic it would be OK.

MyDreamg Oct 24 2022 10:23 pm Sunho is annoying, cunning and manpulative person. Wonder why people sided with him. He doesn't deserve Do Hae Yi and it's a good thing he will be the sad boy.

krungy Oct 24 2022 9:40 pm why does people only came for the love story? i found it interesting when i saw the struggles of theia squad and how they deal with the curse...

Loi Oct 24 2022 9:42 am So sad to sun ho ???

Steffanie Oct 24 2022 7:58 am I am still on episode 2 but judging by the way the cast is listed here, Do Hae Yi will definitely end up with the captain. I was rooting for Sun Ho so I guess I'll stop watching here. The love story will just be cliché going forward.

cheer up hwaiting! Oct 24 2022 5:40 am I really love all the cast! They are so young, new, fresh, and giving good performance as the young generation. I can feel the happiness and also the pain of this/my generation: must learn and got good grades, go to a good university, find jobs, fight for money, give up dating, and do everything for family. It's really tiring. But some small cheer club, hobby, or anything can be the sweet escape.

Do Hae Yi is so sad. First daughter, family doesn't have money, give up everything for her brother. I love the actress portrayal as Hae Yi, cheerful outside, crazy inside. She is realistic (super realistic).

In other hand, the Captain also relatable. Give up everything (job and money) for something that many people think 'useless'. Maybe that's how love works. He so in love with that cheer squad and become idealistic. The actor expression as Captain also great. He makes me feel what he feel. I love him.

Second lead Sunho is a new actor but also good actor. I'm in love and hate relationship with his character. He makes me upset with his playboy behaviour but also I understand him. His family is rich, but not a happy family.

Overall, I hope people watch this beautiful healing drama. I feel better every Monday/Tuesday because of Cheer Up.

Another flover Oct 22 2022 1:28 pm Cho Hee sunbae, you’re so cool! I’m rooting for you.

I wish our peuna or gyuri would sing the OST for this drama too, it would be perfect ^^

nathanielmagatao Oct 22 2022 3:41 am so sad to sun-ho,i can't help but to cry huhuhuhuhu

tas Oct 22 2022 2:57 am Yoo min in the epilogue, did she orchestrate the 'accident'? if so why? and if not why would she be coming after hae yi? couldn't connect any plausible dots with this scene

shia Oct 21 2022 9:21 pm @Raden the plot doesnt only focus to the romance story of haeyi jeongwoo and sunho, nvm people taste are different but the main focus of this drama is the cheering squad and the 3rd curse, i'm more excited for it

Raden Oct 21 2022 8:15 pm I give up after 6 episode. The story end ending are predictable. Do hae yi will end up with the capten baut Sun ho will keep trying to get her untill episode 15-16. It just not fair for Sun Ho i guest like the other drama like start up, true beauty etc.

unknown Oct 21 2022 7:47 pm cant wait for the next episode.....hoping that hae yi and sun ho will end up together.

amelia Oct 21 2022 6:16 am second lead is so annoying, she already rejected him but he keeps making moves on her and he used some other girl to get over hae yi....that's so awful, no idea why people like him

Desting Oct 21 2022 3:23 am i hope Hae Yi and Sun Ho end up together

Seline Oct 21 2022 1:28 am I want to watch the rest. Its6a lovely drama

Rethy Oct 21 2022 1:22 am I love this drama from the beginning I watch it ! ... Nice story. Hope has a happy ending.

Shienzy Oct 20 2022 8:31 pm Hi.. is this drama have been postpone when it when out? why the timeline is in 2019?

aroro Oct 20 2022 2:01 pm people are preferring the red flag over the main lead? not surprising at all? imo i love the chemistry between the main lead and hae yi!! team jungwoo<3

Julie Oct 19 2022 9:46 pm I want haeyi and sun ho end game, hae yi deserve sun ho i don’t like the main lead guy there’s no chemistry. I hope haeyi will end up with sun ho they have a good chemistry i hope there is a plot twist here. It hurts me so much when i saw sun ho hurting in this drama.

Sheree Oct 18 2022 8:42 pm I am absolutely loving this drama! It’s the first time I’ve looked forward to Mondays. The chemistry between Hae-Yi and Jung-Woo is palpable.

It’s so funny that there’s rarely a scene where Hae-Yi is not eating. She’s so cute and adorable. I love how bubbly she is.

I’m really looking forward to a happy ending on this drama!

haeyiluvr Oct 18 2022 7:03 pm lets be real. most people roots for the second male lead because he is taller, good looking and rich. kdrama viewers always wants the red flags to win, lmfaooo. what’s wrong with you guys? he dates girls for fun and dumps them whenever he wants to yet yall want him for haeyi? ??‍♀️ anyways… team jungwoo all the way! haeyi deserves the best.

hi telinho Oct 18 2022 3:01 pm It's a nice drama to pass time but nothing too special about it. Do Hae-Yi's character is pretty original, her sense of humor is frankly what's keeping me going. At first she just seems like a funny girl, but that's just her way to cope with her ongoing struggles. I'll look forward to see more character development and not just a sassy love triangle story.

Elva Oct 18 2022 8:54 am I Love This Drama So Much!!! Really! I really like all the characters in this drama, all of them have good acting and fit their roles! I swear, I really love this drama! i want sun oh to be happy, but i also want jung woo to be happy :( I want everything in this drama to have a happy ending! SBS please accept that huh? And please do more light dramas like this, it's my way of rest and healing~ I really like it and look forward to it every week! don't want this drama to end soon :(

Lestari Oct 18 2022 1:38 am I really like sunja! Her friendship with daeyi is so adorable! Sunja herself is the cutest happy girl!

rini Oct 17 2022 6:51 am is tae cho hee like sunho?? because i really wish sunho end up in happy way! Anyway i enjoyed it. Can’t wait for next episode! and yes han ji hyun rocking as haeyi?!

soma Oct 16 2022 10:22 pm Not feeling about ML at all. SML is much better and more interesting. One thing for sure is that Han Ji Hyun is carrying this with her energy and humor.

Popa Oct 16 2022 6:53 pm I really like this drama but I really don't want do hae-yi to end up with Park Jung wo I would rather prefer her to end up with Jin sun-Ho

Maq Yusuf Oct 16 2022 4:36 pm I don't know why, I can't see Gyuri. here her existence is very weak even though she is the main character.

defend the school club that is about to be disbanded. reminds me of school anime stories. but korean dramas need stories like this. about youth, friendship, cooperation in school life. not just about bullying and romance. In my opinion, dramas that have this concept or theme are very rarely produced.

I thought everyone would think the same thing when they first watched it. yes, pocari sweat ad.

Xoxo Oct 16 2022 9:25 am I hope this drama could be more popular and many people watch this amazing drama.. Hanjihyun is great actress although new and young. I didn't watch her previous dramas but I know she must be a good actress according this drama

I watched Bae inhyuk the sunbae in Roomate Gumiho and Why her. He was the second guy but I didn't feel his presence in his previous drama. Here he doing great and I think his mature look is the key. I didn't know he is younger than everyone. But I guess he has a lot of drama experiences.

ork Oct 16 2022 8:46 am episode 1 & 2 are solid. Fresh take of k-drama. I love how they show the part-timer struggles of Han Ji Hyun and how she is always positive.

episode 3 & 4 are where the quality started to randomize, but you can bet Jung Sin Hye and Jang Gyu Ri stole the show while Han Ji Hyun is carrying the drama.

I watched this show for Han Ji Hyun, but GyuRi caught more of my attention, i didn't even know fromis9, but she needs more screen time and more chemistry with Han Ji Hyun

Sushii Oct 15 2022 7:38 pm I wish Jin sun-ho were main lead?Do hae-yi and Jin sun-ho really make a couple things?nvm this isn't gonna happen anyways?park jung-woo is somehow popular most then Jin sun-ho + he has more movie or drama then Jin sun-ho so according to me is that Jin sun-ho should get the main lead bc even he,he need to rise right! imo park jung-woo has become quite popular so I really really wish that Jin sun-ho should get the main lead + he's quite handsome more than jungwoo*don't mind* what I'm telling rn might not come true but still share abt how I feel yeahh?

Ethel Oct 15 2022 5:01 pm Can someone tell me the title of the song they used in the pep rally (both perform by both school) (vice captain Yoon Hee and captain hokyung)

Baby Taehyung Oct 15 2022 6:06 am I am back here.. I only make comments here in asiawiki for kdramas that caught my attention. Mr. Baek caught my attention not with his good look but with his portrayal of his character. In Why Her his character wasn't developed well. He has less exposure in why her. I am happy that this time his the main lead and doing a good job. I thought that this is the same with the others. Quite interesting, I am still waiting for the climax of the story. I will be back..

Kikon Oct 14 2022 3:46 pm I wish Jin Sun-Ho was the main lead...Hope Jin Sun-Ho and Do Hae-yi are the main Lead & Couple ?..They look awesome together..And the way He saved her, He deserved to be her Men. ❤️✌?

ma-e Oct 14 2022 10:18 am i wish they give the chance to 2nd leave (jin-Sun ho) and hope they will be together with (Do Hae-yi) until the end.

Capt Team Oct 14 2022 9:44 am I wish someone like JungWoo come to my life. He is the safe zone, the support system, someone that will neglecting himself just for someone he loves the most without anyone knows

Joush Oct 13 2022 9:27 am I think this is Bae In Hyuk best drama so far... I watched his several previous dramas already and his character were just the same, that second lead sunbae again and again. His performance in Cheer Up is really good. He still the sunbae, but now in first lead version. His movement, his gesture, and the way he speak is full of charisma. He is not that tall, but he is handsome. His smile so beautiful with dimples.

Homcha Oct 12 2022 11:34 pm Bae In Hyuk is everywhere these days. He is new but gives great performance as the Captain. It's not easy to play such a character because I guess he is not an ex idol trainee. I saw him as second lead a lot already. Now I give him all my heart because his charm in this drama~

JiaYi Oct 12 2022 1:12 pm At first, I don't feel CU is such interesting KD because I think it's just typical teens drama. However, when I watched the first episode, I love how strong and bright the caharacter of main cast, Hae Yi and the quite cold Captain Jung Woo..

The conflict starts as soon as the drama starts and it goes along with the drama, that's why I love CU from the start, it's not boring and slow kind of storyline..

Reminiscing good old days during uni life, CU shows reality of us in those glory days, easy to relate, understand and enjoy this drama. All the life conflicts, study, love life, work which I can relate so we'll. The murder mystery plot enhance the CU storyline.. Fresh storyline..

As much as I love Do Hae Yi, I also love Park Jung Woo as much as Do Hae Yi love him.. The second leads are also powerful characters.. I think both first and second female leads plays strong characters compare to first and second male leads.. Love them all.. All characters really suits this drama/storyline and they play their role very well ♥️

Hope this drama watched and loved by many as it's NOT typical teens drama with typical conflicts ?

darara Oct 12 2022 5:07 am I love this drama so so so much!! I watch ep 1 without any expectation. I know Bae In Hyuk and Han Ji Hyun before this drama but I thought they just newbie actors so I didn't think this drama would be that great. Also the rest of the main casts most of them also newcomers. So I thought it would be just another youth drama about school, hobby, love, etc.

BUT only after 5 minutes watched the ep 1, I changed my mind. This drama is not only about school, love, hobby. It's about life. About the season that I thought already passed. I fall in love with the 'university club' theme because I also joined a univ's club when I was student. All the young actors doing good job!! Daebak!!!

Relate with Hae Yi, I have a lot of life's problem, school crazy homeworks, part time works, love problem. But still that moment shining brightly until now. Now, after I go through the life, those moments still beautiful and nice to be remembered.

Also for the Captain, I fall in love with him just like how Hae Yi saw him as a hero, as someone who can be her support system.

I hope they, all of them, and anyone who enjoy this theme also can be happy all the time. Such a beautiful drama!!

Lauren Oct 12 2022 12:11 am Both male leads are bland and boring for me. This is the first drama I prefer all the girls over the guys. Hae Yi, Cho Hee, Sun Ja, So Yoon, other team Captain girl, etc.. all of them are absolute stunners and great characters.

amajsuh Oct 11 2022 9:52 pm In the end, Cho Hee and Hae Yi will fight to be captain. Im in Sun Ho Team ?

Abko crenzy Oct 11 2022 6:15 pm I really don't like sunho i want captain just captain i want she end up together with captain

Mystery Oct 11 2022 5:52 pm I really want sunho to be the main leadd, aside from it i don't really like jung woo

Weirdo Oct 11 2022 11:04 am So far from what I've seen (ep3)What Amaze me is that Sunho and all his little efforts for HaeYi !!! It's really hard not to fall for the second lead .I think he really cares for HaeYi. He even recognises HaeYi is catching feelings for Captain ,his eyes only on her,I mean he really likes her !!!!!seems like I'm gonna be heartbroken again since he's the second lead

Jack Oct 11 2022 10:52 am Am I the only one who does not really like Sunho? For some reason he rubs me the wrong way, like he suddenly became obsessed with her that felt very out of no where. I don't like love triangles, I find them useless, but I am watching this because I loved Han Jihyun. Hopefully the love triangle isn't the whole story.

I really like Yongil and Chohee even though they interacted once. I like his innocence with her colder domineer. If anyone can recommend a drama where the leads are like this, please do as these dynamics are normally reserved to second lead couples.

Sammy Oct 10 2022 10:11 pm SPOILER ALERT I don't know if I'm the only one not feeling the Love triangle? I mean what's the essence if the Second male never stood a chance?‍♂️...Funny how I have been rooting for bae in hyuk to get the girl in all his previous projects but now I'm suddenly rooting for the second lead lol ....nice storyline tho

Kdrama-addict Oct 09 2022 1:19 pm Cheer up had heavy love triangle

All ep involve 2ML interaction with FL one or another way

SML will kiss FL

Rating ::::3/10 3 points for will have Happy ending (fl&ml end up together)

Mercy Oct 08 2022 1:17 pm I love this movie so much am rooting for Han ji hyun all the way from Africa I love her acting from penthouse down to cheer up ? and those guys are damn cute though ? I love you Han ji hyun fighting ✊ we got this baby girl

Ericka Mae Cano Oct 08 2022 12:12 pm why sun ho is 2nd lead huhuhuhu im gonnaa cryyyyyy

Youme Oct 08 2022 8:27 am Not really interesting main lead girl just too extra. The story tiring

Jas Oct 07 2022 5:32 pm finallyyyy my baby in hyukie have the main spotlight, definitely lookin forward to this???

Nini Oct 07 2022 12:41 pm Finally him(Bae in hyuk) as main lead I'm loving it ❤ Fighting we r rooting for you dear ?

Alliyah anave Oct 07 2022 2:55 am First two episode she already like the main lead

LuminaTala Oct 05 2022 3:06 pm Do Hae Yi is undoubtedly the main character and Han Ji Hyun perfectly executed her scenes from heart warming, cute, fierce, cool, fear and thrill. Her character is so full of charisma. So far, I love the story. I am not into campus romance story and told myself will watch ot because of FL but I am loving the 2 episodes so far. I also love the mystery part, it makes it more exciting. Hope more people will watch it for the next eps.

Nana Oct 05 2022 9:26 am I'm watching it for the female lead and looking forward for her bright and cute character after her penthouse character.Love it!

Oliver Oct 05 2022 6:02 am I don't know how I felt about this drama. I watched 2 episodes. It's very overused trope with bland cheer routines (what was that). The plot is gonna be like that FL later become committed and enjoying herself in cheering squat and start dating with ML. Then, her reason which she applied at first for getting money is going to reveal, and it would hurt ML and other members.... misunderstanding will happen.... and resolve at the end.... Murder mystery subplot is so out of place here, no every drama needs one anyway....the one who is going to die is one of the seniors or a side character...

Krystal Oct 05 2022 3:35 am I am in love with Do Hae Yi's character already. The actress is doing such a wonderful job. It's my first time watching Han Ji Hyun. She is so beautiful and charming, most importantly a good actress. I immediately connects with Do Hae Yi's character because of her great performance. Way to go! Han Ji Hyun!!

Fikri Oct 04 2022 10:24 am Watch this drama because there is gyuri, because most fromis_9 fans have to see their members to appear anywhere. Don't get me wrong if those who watch this drama a lot from flovers fromis_9

Mao Oct 04 2022 7:27 am I'm getting second lead syndrome on this one, is it just me? Bae In-hyuk/ Park Jung-woo is the male lead right? I literally started watching this for him and Han Ji-hyun but now here I am...

Shira Oct 04 2022 3:31 am Waiting for next episode ?

Jhe mmm Oct 04 2022 1:04 am @greta same here . If not because of the female lead ,I will not watch this drama heheh. I'm glad that they recognize her talent, good for her. She's a happy young lady in this drama,I love to see her smiling ?

Greta Oct 03 2022 10:34 pm Decided to watch the first episode only because of Han Jihyun. It was good to see her as a hardworking, kind, bubbly and happy girl. I am sure Han Jihyun will get back those brain cells she had lost while screaming and getting stressed out in Penthouse.
