10-Feb : Worst case of 2nd Lead Syndrome?

This year, of the dramas I watched, the worst case of 2LS was "Cheer Up."

I had recently seen Kim Hyun Jin as the sweet secretary in "My Sweet Mobster." I had also seen him as the 2nd lead in "Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale." In "Cheer Up" he's so sweet again & it just should have been him.

Cheer Up
(2022 - Viki 16 1:10 eps)

Yeonhee University's cheer squad has a long history, including a terrifying prophecy. A poor woman concerned only about supporting her family & paying tuition is persuaded to join the cheer squad for money. She realizes there is value in doing things you enjoy & having relationships. Other members of the cheer squad also find value in belonging & having others cheer you on.

Interesting look at an unfamiliar (to the U.S.) part of Korean campus life. The love triangle is intense (big-time 2nd ML syndrome) & really becomes the story, making the message take 2nd place. The criminal's motives are mostly glossed over & the crime-ing was very uneven, but since it wasn't central to the story, it's okay. Not a lot of character development, but it did try to present a good message. Some great acting saved the show & made for a very fun watch.

emotional hardships and romance, there's also a mystery to solve.

It's quite interesting to get a snippet of campus life in South Korea and such club as the cheering squad. It's different from cheerleading, as the goal is to make the crowd move with them.

I developed a big second lead syndrome for Jin Sun-ho (#KimHyunJin #김현진), who also plays the handsome manager in #MySweetMobster.

Vote: 9/10

I really wanted to see #HanJiHyun (#한지현) in a leading role and this #kdrama makes her talent shine!
She's a pretty and poor student who has to juggle between university and part-time jobs. Despite her lack of time, a former member of the cheering squad pays her to join the team in the hope that she attracts other students.

The cheering squad is rumored to be jinxed and unexpected incidents happen. So in addition to campus life, friendship,
