Actor Bae In-hyuk, who currently stars in Cheer Up as the male lead Park Jung-woo, also plays a short but memorable role in Kim Hye-soo's K-drama Under the Queen's Umbrella.

It looks like the audience is enjoying both shows, as both took up the top spots on Good Data Corporation’s weekly list of dramas generating the most buzz. Under the Queen's Umbrella took up the first spot, whereas Cheer Up took up the second spot this week. The lead cast members of each show - Kim Hye-soo and Bae In-hyuk - also took up the top two spots on the list of the most buzzworthy drama cast members.
