I luff this post so much.

I think the number one thing that lures me into a drama is bromance, and following that team-mance if that is even a word.

Even though it's a great cast, I don't think Yoo Seungho and Lee Hyunwoo are the most height appropriate actors to be cast in a basketball drama. I'm always very amazed that guys who are supposedly basketball whizzes in their dramas are on the wrong side of 180, and they don't even play point guards lol.

My favourite underdog story will always be Persevere, Gu Hae-ra. Noble idiocy was maddening yes, but the ending monologue was very beautiful. What winning really means is having an appreciative audience.

Soo-ah. I have never liked her. Hell, she never bothered me. But last few eps i was beyond the point of hating for me. She has crossed the limits which were redeemable.
But now reading things about her actually make me sad. She may be irredeemable. But what will be her breaking point?
After what she did to yeon-doo in ep 8, people around her, or just her friends, would they be able to trust her? Even if she is sincere, people would doubt it. The way her brain works, she would hold grudges against them. And we all know what will happen then!
That is why she is irredeemable in my eyes, that too so late in the game, she can't handle rejections well. How will she endure??

Ooh, Monday is here!

What are the four shows in the cover pictures?
One is sassy go go but I am not sure about the other...?

"C’mon, wasn’t that rock battle just as satisfying, without all the murderous side thoughts that Su-ah inspires?"

lol i read this line and since you were talking about SUFBB was thinking su-ah as in jo boa who played su-ah in shut up! and i was sooooo confused. i just kept thinking "shhe wasn't THAT bad! a little vanilla as far as female leads go, but not that bad!"

Blerrrrrgh. Yes! That drama needs to be made ASAP!!!

This is creepy, you are reading my mind guys. Since last week (NBA season start is to blame) I've been thinking how great it would be to have a Last Match remake with younger actors.

But I like Sassy Go Go's underdogs more than in the music dramas like Dream High etc. Someone mentioned that at least it's a little bit realistic because Yeon Doo isn't from some poor family being chased by loan shark with 18752 part time jobs and a parent who ran away and left her alone. The Real King kids are just trying to survive in their school.

And even though I hate Soo Ah and want her punished, I still feel bad for her. It's like Oh Jung Ho in School 2013, a kid going down the wrong path because their parents teach them wrong.

Also how can you forget Misaeng :( poor Jang Geu Rae, such an underdog puppy :(

I don't see Sassy, Go Go as a drama about underdogs, tho. It's more like a group of kids who have been oppressed by the system and their family. They were forced to do something together for a selfish quest of one, but they do take a hell lot out of it more than the evil biatch. Underdog stories would really be Gu Hae-ra (w/ the idols as the dominants), Shut Up Flower Boy Band (w/ the elite rich guys), and Dream High (w/ the best among the idol school). But in Sassy Go Go, everyone came together, so I don't see it as technically an underdog story haha.

Also: both the guys are soooooo loveable, and the winsome heroine is such a plus. Yay.

I do not see cheerleading as fascinating ✌️ my friends do but Me not so much. Too hazardous.

Instead of basketball, I was thinking of baseball. I heard mbc kept on canceling their drama show she was pretty for that sport show ? if kbs still want to try to make high school dramas then try baseball ? ladies won't complain if they will cast a mix of actors (pitcher and catcher) and idols in a baseball drama show. Just ask a smart writer and pd and put a dash of romance here and there so everyone will be glad and dandy

I was avoiding Sassy Go Go because I was traumatized from Who are you School 2015 and Orange Marmalade.
But I've been following the recap and watched last week episodes. I guess I'm sucked in now hahahaha going back to watch the earlier episodes.
Underdog stories are so satisfying because the more vicious the beating, the better the pay out would be. Well, if done right, that is.

I don't really feel frustrated about the Sassy Go Go kids always getting trampled on, and actually never really thought about it until now, probably because the problems are usually resolved within the episode, and the characters bounce back really quickly. I guess it's also because there's not much of a clear line between the underdogs and the 'overdogs' anymore either now that Baek Ho and Real King are merging, so it doesn't have that same level of rivalry that Shut Up Flower Boy Band and Dream High had. And the moments of triumph are so heartwarming that I never really feel like things are too hopeless for them, heh. <3

I adore Sassy Go, Go in a completely different way from how much I absolutely loved Dream High. The latter is still the best high school drama to have come out from South Korea IMO, but SGG is really great with so much focus on bonds, friendships and how to win as a team.

I think what both drama does right is depict relationships the way they are in real life between ordinary kids. There's always the over ambitious, the carefree and the ones in between. I love that both drama show villains who really have a soul even if sometimes their actions seem irredeemable. Dream High had a lot more conflict in it, so much more adrenaline pumping from my end but SGG's cheerful and fluffy outer shell filled with more interesting conflicts inside makes it such a huge win for me too. I hope more HS dramas are like this. No more Orange Marmalade or School 2015 please! This is what youth should be about.

Overall I like the show but I'm really distrubed by the lack of punishment for the girls that falsely accused the teacher of molestation. As a writer if you are going to present such a taboo subject then see it through & show actual real consequences for making such a herendous accusation. I'm still in disbelief that it was pretty much wrapped up in a smiling cheer & nothing happened to the girls. WTF was that?

Oh MY GOD. I WANT IT TOO !!
Seriously, why did you line up this awesome cast in my head ?? I never thought about it and now it's gonne be the only one I'll ever want !

I hate you ;p

so ah is beyond redemption. I don't know how they are going to make her any better than she is now but writer-nim I've got my eyes on you.

I don't know if I need to repeat myself from saying this but, to the people behind Dramabeans, thank you guys! I love you very much. And maybe you're my soul sister in my past life or something.

Everything you mentioned just now is true. Bulls eye!

I don't know how they rate dramas in korea but, Sassy Go Go/ Cheer Up is a good drama in my opinion. Sure it has some flaws like it doesn't even look like a cheerleading drama as it lacks the stunts as I was thinking more of a Bring it On-ish type of drama or somewhat relate able to that but for me it's still okay.

the real question now is how are they gonna squeeze up the remaining scenes on the last 2 episodes of the show wherein Yeon Doo and Kim Yeol's parents announce their marriage and who will end up with Yeon Doo and will they ever be doing other stunts than those simple routines?

Okay I'm ranting.

OMG you guys make me want to rewatch Last Match. I watched it sooooo long ago, when I was little! It was a great drama, that's all I can remember now.

If u watch today's episode, ill totally cry for Soo-ah. At least, I cried. :P

I'm glad that in episode 10 of Sassy Go Go, the kids are so willing to forgive her and want her to go back to the school, even though they were actually all trying to atone their guilts that they never even commit, even though they all pushed her to the edge. If Soo Ah really die, I'm pretty sure many people would be despair, especially for the ones who saw her, like Yeol, Yeon Doo, and Dong Jae, but I'm so proud that Dong Jae got to overcome his phobia by saving her :)

Even though, Soo Ah's situation has been solved, in the next 2 more episodes, there will still be some more obstacles that they have to go through.

1. They still have to go through the evil Principal trying to get rid of the Cheerleading Club when the two teams are already bonding with each other and become strong.

2. Soo Ah still has to confront her mom or have help by her friends, same goes with Ha Joon with his dad.

3. Yeol and Yeon Doo also still have their parents' obstacle coming to them.

So yeah, they have to solve these four obstacles coming to them, Soo Ah's mom, Ha Joon's dad, Yeol and Yeon Doo's parents, and the Principal.

Hey, which drama is the second last picture from, one with everyone around a picnic table. Looks very interesting, seen all other dramas mentioned here, except for last match.
