According to soompi, Cheer Up is a campus mystery rom-com about the passionate story of youth who gather together at a college cheering squad that is falling into ruins after leaving behind its glorious past days. Han Ji Hyun will be playing the role of Do Hae Yi, a rookie member of the cheering squad Theia of Yeonhee University. She is a freshman who entered the theology department in 2019. Due to difficult circumstances at home, she focuses all her attention on money. Do Hae Yi also joins the cheering squad for money, but she learns of romance and love, which she considers to be a luxury, along the way.

Bae In Hyuk will transform into Park Jung Woo, the captain of Theia. He always puts rules and principles foremost and is misunderstood to be a condescending person, but he is a pure and romantic character with an upright heart. Leaving behind preparations for his state exams, he takes charge of the cheering squad that is in danger of disbanding. Kim Hyun Jin will be starring as Theia’s new member Jin Sun Ho. He is a young, rich and good-looking medical student who has only taken the elite course in life. Having only experiencing quick and non-serious relationships, in which he doesn’t care about who comes and leaves, he learns of new emotions after meeting Do Hae Yi.

Jang Gyuri will take on the role of Theia’s vice-captain Tae Cho Hee, a cool and feisty character who is popular. Tae Cho Hee works to balance Park Jung Woo with her advice as a result-oriented person. Lee Eun Saem will appear as Theia’s new member and Do Hae Yi’s close friend Joo Sun Ja, a popular figure and the type of person who easily falls in love with any good-looking face.

Meanwhile, Yang Dong Geun will be playing the role of Bae Young Woong, a past squad member who entered university in 2002. He’s regarded as a strange figure since he appears and disappears at various locations on campus, but he’s actually a successful businessman who mentally and monetarily supports the cheering squad. Although a long time has passed since he graduated, he runs a pub called Cheers near the school.

The production team shared, “We are happy and excited for the gathering of Han Ji Hyun, Bae In Hyuk, Kim Hyun Jin, Jang Gyuri, Lee Eun Saem, and Yang Dong Geun who have extraordinary acting skills and unique charms. Please look very forward to the campus mystery rom-com that will take aim at viewers’ hearts in the second half of 2022.”
