Wanted to cheer up, left being frustrated...

The drama lacks a solid story plot, let alone the execution of it. May be fun and thrilling for early teens, but young adults like me might not be fond of this drama. 10+ eps for such a futile plot is not what I signed up for.

I initially thought the drama is related to "Cheer up 2015", also known as Sassy Go which starred Jung Eun Ji, turned out it wasn't.

The cheerleading part is not fun to watch either. They do the same cheerleading steps throughout, the same meetings, the same prophecy-related "mystery" which's execution is rather annoying. I personally don't think a school club that has nothing to offer to your life goals is that important where you don't get to sleep (ML said he sleeps only 2-3 hrs ) and risk your college senior life when it's time to be serious about your career and internships. I'm not saying that cheerleading isn't worth making a livelihood, but in this drama, they clearly don't seem to be passionate about it. It's like they're doing it out of compulsion or guilt of leaving the club.

Something that I can't take in even if I try to is - them claiming that they weren't able to keep in touch with Lee Yoo-Min (the previous leader who got into the accident). No one went to the hospital with her after the accident? They legit assumed she died rather than giving her a visit and seeing how she was doing? Okay, even to assume that she died, try to go to her funeral and pay the family a visit?? Fortunately, she didn't lol, shitty-ass friends she got. Let's say they didn't have her address. Try to find it out from the office administration or even her classmates?? Pretty sure a university takes info of such along with the student's family details?? It's just the ML texting her one-sided. If you that anxious, go find her??? Lol, the writer tsk tsk.

The love triangle side of the story is itself undigestable. There is little to no chemistry between the main leads. The second lead himself isn't a strong character. Idk how people are rooting for the ML/SML, I don't feel any connection at all, just a bunch of stares rather than romantic gazes. Bae In Hyuk deserves a better drama than this. It'd have been better if the story stuck to friendship and college life concepts as I do not feel any compassion for the characters. The main leads aren't given much growth/story either. It's all over the place.

I feel like most of the cast look older than their characters, which might be why I can't feel what I'm supposed to. Casting properly aged people to the roles is vital. The seniors look like they're in their 30s rather than in their late teens/early 20s.

Also, very cringe-y to see characters drinking often and acting drunk. It's not cute at all.

They're trying to make the suspense unnecessarily intense with no strong support to the plot.
Might drop (currently in ep 8).
