For people who say that it's not Soo Ah fault and it's because she was growing up in a toxic environment, please…
We're all different, our brains work differently.
Soo Ah had Yeon Doo for one year until she effed up and lost Yeon Doo. Kim Yeol's been with Ha Joon since they were little kids, and even then he was just enough to keep Ha Joon alive. If KSA had someone like Yeol in her life, or say Yeon Doo had been with her since kindergarten, maybe that person wouldn't have been enough to keep her alive or sane. Who knows?
dear writer, DO NOT PUT DONG JAE WITH SOO AH. Like what the heck? Dong jae is kind, innocent, and pure. Soo ah…
If you cheat in school or push someone down the stairs, you will not be handed over to the police. Even when kids have fights and land each other in hospital, schools don't go out and speak to the police about it. The involved kids get punishment like suspension and community service, and lots of after-school
detentions.
Kwon Soo Ah has made big mistakes, I agree. Bribing, theft, attempted murder. You name it and she's done it. But she has a conscience, she's too young and scared to fix her mistakes. She's not in the right state of mind to apologize and help those who she screwed over. Well, now she is. She's getting treatment and she's got support from school. If she can somehow manage to get back in school, and that would involve arguing with her mother over it, she's got half of her life sorted. The other half would be acting on her second/third/fourth chance that she's got from others and actually proving to be someone better. Making a difference. And I think she's getting there, atleast for the rest of her journey in school she will spend apologising and repenting for her past mistakes. She will go out of her way to do things for those she harmed.
About DJ, the girl bribed students to hurt him, and got him kicked out of his basketball team. She would be mean and shout at him all the time, yet he still liked her. You can't control liking someone, it just doesn't work. Maybe HDJ finds her pretty, maybe he pities her. Who knows. But the guy has always looked at her like he wants to be friends. KSA needs to learn how to calm down and HDJ needs to learn how to stick up for himself. Personally I think they are perfect for each other, without all the extra baggage that Soo Ah carries. She doesn't have that anymore, after this episode her mother won't drive her mad to do something. She's free to do what she wants when she wants.
And no, Kwon Soo Ah didn't have anyone. She had KYD for a year until she screwed up and lost her. She didn't trust teachers enough to share what she was going through, she had a psycho mother and a pushy manager looming over her head.
Yes we don't let murderers on the loose because of a rough childhood, but we give them a chance to repent, to live. They get put in jail because that's the right place they need to repent for killing someone. For a school student that pushes people down the stairs and commits theft, a jail isn't the right place. Neither is a mental asylum. The right place would be home and school.
dear writer, DO NOT PUT DONG JAE WITH SOO AH. Like what the heck? Dong jae is kind, innocent, and pure. Soo ah…
Did you see Kwon Soo Ah shake and tremble when her mother schemed and told her she will fix everything? Her mother said you did no wrong. That's when she knew her mother was clearly in the wrong, and she didn't want to turn into a monster too.
We can't turn our heads away from kids like Kwon Soo Ah. Neither is it right to throw such kids in mental hospitals to suffer. Their biggest therapy is to get the support and care from the people that matter to them. And for KSA that is her cheer-leading team.
Plus these kids are just 18 year olds. They're teens, they have big hearts. They don't keep grudges, and they easily forgive and forget.
I don't think what they showed is completely far-fetched. Maybe in the real world Kwon Soo Ah would get suspended and be required to do community service, she would continue to get counselling until she finishes school and she would be required to get therapy for depression. What they have shown is the girl being away from school for weeks getting treatment for depression. Which makes sense. Also, the school has to brush a suicide attempt (and related cheating matters) under the carpet, in fear of negative publicity, which again isn't something that doesn't happen in the real world.
PS: HDJ has harboured a crush for KSA since Episode 5. I think a proposal is waiting for KSA when she gets back. Lol. I think they look rather cute together, she needs someone to count on when she's suffering. HDJ has always been that person to put his hand forward for her to hold.
I will be seriously annoyed if in ep. 10 everybody will forgive soo ah just because she tries to commit suicide.…
No matter how far she goes, she doesn't deserve exclusion or anything worse than that. Definitely not death. Soo Ah is just a school-going girl brought up the wrong way with the wrong ideals and a whole lot of emotional torture. What Soo Ah needs now is the right guidance, starting with a doctor's report of stress, insomnia and maybe even depression, eventually leading to a Counsellor's suggestion to take her out of her mother's care. She also should be punished for her wrong-doings at school, but nothing more than a taint on her records and suspension/counselling for hurting other students.
We can't turn our backs on kids like Soo Ah, they weren't born this way. She definitely deserves a happy ending. Maybe in that happy ending, none of the Cheerleading kids will make it, but others definitely will. And Yeon Doo, even though I don't want her to be a part of that ending, definitely will be in it.
Watch him have a brain tumor or cancer or an eating disorder or psychiatric problems or in the worst case die…
Until we find out that stress can cause dizziness, eating disorders, weakness, insomnia and ultimately land you in hospital.
Hope it's not something serious. -.-
Three cheers for Yeollie's confession. He did it! This show sure does a good job of making me root for everyone.
I even understand why Yeon Doo tolerates Soo Ah's stunts and doesn't hold anything against her. But i really hope after what Soo Ah did to her and Yeollie today, that she won't stand up for Soo Ah anymore. Soo Ah has crossed the line today, no friendship should be above your own well-being and of those you love and care for.
Looking forward to Yeon Doo's confession tomorrow, she needed something like this to realise just how much she cares for Yeollie. His pain and blood didn't go to waste. ;)
Just what is it with this show that makes me feel sooooo much? I love it when it messes with my emotions like…
I couldn't agree more. Jung Eum was an idol? Wow she's come a long way then, I love her as an actor!
There's also Do Kyung Soo who was good in It's Okay That's Love and I Remember You. A lot of idol actors actually show a lot of promise when they start acting. Eun Ji could put a lot more experienced actresses to shame, so could Ji Soo who has done theatre before kdramas.
I wish all the actors of Cheer Up get a lot of acclaim for it and go on to get bigger dramas. Like even if the ratings are low, their popularity shoots up.

Yep and Sung Jae's only 20. He has time to grow and excel.
I love seeing actors improve and surprise. Happened with Eun ji, if she was good in Reply 1997, she's excellent here. And she's only going to get better. :P

Yes i remember. I know, Cheer Up is far better than Heirs or School 2015 and it still doesn't do half as well as those. Anyway, their loss coz Cheer Up is amazing.
team HaDoo... sorry,. can't help it, I'm diagnosed with SLS. </3
Unfortunately so am I. Though I ship both of them equally, I'll be happy whoever she ends up with. But i'll cry more for Ha Joon, because he's my favourite character on the show. I just won't be able to see him broken again.
My wish list for episode 9:
1. Ha Joon giving a piggy back ride to Yeon Doo, because either the bike broke when he threw it on the ground or both of them can't fit on the one-seater bike.
2. Ha Joon and Yeol dressing her wounds and serving her food.
3. Yeol, Ha Joon and Dong Jae sitting around Yeon Doo cracking jokes and telling her stories to make her laugh and feel better.
4. Dong Jae and Ha Joon giving a peach of their mind to Kwon Soo Ah, warning her for the last time to stay the hell away from Yeon Doo.
5. Some cheerleading, or team-building missions. Like treasure hunts.
6. Teacher Yang warning Kwon Soo Ah.
7. The rest of the Baek Ho and Real King members finding out what Kwon Soo Ah did to Yeon Doo and protecting Yeon Doo.
I think Sung Joon got turned on by the smell of her hair. Her hair was literally all over his face in the hug…
I know right!
The way his hand cushioned her fall, and then she pulled him in for a hug and then his killer stare and finally holding her cheek and leaning in for a kiss.
I am going to get no sleep tonight. :/
