I have so many strong, frustrating feelings about this drama. OTL, (I was thinking about it ALL DAY after watching the first two episodes and a bout of anger coming from my younger brother who was watching it with me). 

 

So if you may like, you can click for my long-winded, half livid and exasperated, English-student analysis of Sassy Go Go: 

 

 

 

 

Dongjae/Yeondoo are total besties and the writer wants us to fall in love with their relationship and let it burn to hell because of the male lead, of course. But I get so much tension coming from Dongjae. His character is made to be flat and one-tracked, "Yeondoo and Yeondoo only" but I really hope they follow his storyline well. He has some sort of trauma relating to contact, he won't push in basketball, of all contact sports, ignored Yeondoo's hug that one time (although I think he was just out of it that one time, I'm sure she's the only exception to touch) and the way he reacted in the bathroom (I really hope people put forewarning scene with all these triggers, I thought it was going to be like Bring it On!) (But I am feeling a Dongjae/Sooah vibe soon)

 

Speaking of Sooah, poor girl! I hope they follow her psyche as well. Yes everyone hates her and think she's a "bitch" but they're opening up all these stories for a reason, right? Look at how she reverts to her "ice princess" vibe so quickly, she's defensive and scared she won't get into harvard, disappoint everyone. She's literally going crazy and there's no one to help her when she's supposed to remain calm, collected, and docile. When she's phoning her college consultant, you can hear the shriek and the way her voice cracks, that's pure fear. I hate how she feels so restricted to one path. You can tell when everyone gangs up on her during the cheer leading announcement, she's afraid to be used before she can use others first. She's going to all lengths for this, and it's terrifying. 

 

And does no one find Kim Yeol incredibly creepy!? I’m sorry, but when Yeon-Doo points out that he’s a pervert, I really think she’s right. He’s always off to touch her in compromising situations, taking every random opportunity, and then five minutes later he’s hating, five seconds later he’s strangely flirting and it’s really freaking me out. It gets cringe worthy, do you like her or not!? If so, your rep means nothing! Be an actual human being and talk to her. He's like a little elementary school boy who picks (TORTURES) the girl he likes. These mixed feelings are killing me and it's only been two episodes! If he wasn't a gorgeous boy with an eye smile, but an average guy, it would be beyond disgusting. 

 

But fine, the relationship with Kim Yeol and Ha Joon is great. When the principal mentions "You want to graduate with Ha Joon, right?" as if it might NOT happen killed me to the core. And then Ha Joon blames himself! He fears his father, his grades, everything, more than his health and well-being. (Honestly, I think cheerleading will help him A LOT) It's as if everyone knows the problem but they do nothing! I hate how there's no wiggle room for these students. I guess that's how it feels for actual Korean students? It makes me feel incredibly privileged not having to go through that, and I hate how it's a sad reality because I shouldn't feel privileged! I'm happy it captures the stigma of these young kids, when Kim Yeol says "Stop, they're actually acting like eighteen year olds" that KILLED ME. How awful it must be to say that! The writers better close up all these plot lines and send a good message to these viewers (Where Yeon Doo seems to be the ambassador of "live happily and breathe easily")

 

 

But then again, more room to develop characters, right? It’s only twelve episodes, so I’m praying they do it justice. 

 

If anyone hasn't noticed, nearly EVERY CHARACTER in this story has a major problem one way or another. I really hope they do this justice. So many people cried in just two episodes! Yeon Doo was bleary-eyed every five minutes! I really hope that each problem isn't glossed over and taken lightly. Especially because the tone is in a supposedly light-hearted, rom-com cheerleader(!) drama. Suicide, stress, self-harm, these two themes are wayyyyyyyy out of balance. I have so much to say, misogyny, depression, Yeon Doo's *everybody's repression, but even my thoughts feel too heavy for a drama that was promoted to be light and happy and yay! sports and things that most Korean schools do twice a year. I feel like it might be a mess so I'm just going to pray for the sake of my (and all the other characters') sanity.
