Even though I was already looking forward to upcoming KBS Mon-Tues drama Sassy Go Go, I’m still surprised by how much I really really liked the long preview. The drama doesn’t just look promising, I’m already connected with the trials and tribulations of the two leads played by Jung Eun Ji and Lee Won Geun. She’s the slacker who rather dance than study, he’s the top student who tries his best to be arrogant but actually has a heart. Even Ji Soo‘s second male lead pops in the preview, buckling under the pressure of academics to the degree of attempting suicide.

This drama looks equal parts serious in tackling real life school-aged concerns, but doing so with flair and fun when appropriate. I loved all three drama posters – the friendships ones capture a youthful effervescence while the OTP poster hints at a sweet first love. There doesn’t appear to be darker forces at play with the adults and the school system, so here’s hoping the kids may fight but end up better off in the end through the journey to unfold. Sassy Go Go premieres this coming Monday with a standard 16-episode run.
