Pump Up the Healthy Love is coming to Disney+.

Pump Up the Healthy Love follows Do Hyun Jung (Lee Jun Young), a vigorous fitness enthusiast, correcting the lives of novice gym members weighed down by worries of life.

The newly-released poster depicts the conflicts between gym members who don't want to give up the joy of eating and trainers who take responsibility not only for their clients' bodies but also for their diets. Writer Kim Ji Soo commented, "Characters of various kinds appear in the gym, and as you watch the drama, you'll likely find at least one character whose worries resemble your own." She added, "In life, it's often hard to make time for yourself, but I wanted to share the experience of how life can change through exercise. Please watch how the characters transform and grow."

Director Park Joon Soo likened the K-drama to "food that's both delicious and nutritious." He said, "While watching the drama, you might find yourself laughing one moment and then doing push-ups or straightening your posture the next, without even realizing it." He added, "It will be fun to watch the characters' comedic remarks as well as their desires and yearning for a beautiful physique."

Lee Jun Young pointed, "I hope viewers will pay close attention to how Hyun Jung, who's klutzy at whatever he tries to do except working out, gradually grows."

Jung Eun Ji shared her thoughts on the drama, saying, "I hope viewers enjoy the drama for what it is. It's not a complicated or deep drama, so you can watch it with a relaxed mind. Especially for those who are truly passionate about working out, there will be many scenes in which you'll find yourself resonating with the characters, and also laugh a lot, so please look forward to it." 

Lee Mi Do, who plays Rosa, an employee at the gym, said, "All the characters in the show represent us, people of today. While watching, you'll likely find a character that resembles you.She added, "Pump Up the Healthy Love is centered around 'strength.It's a very vibrant show that makes you want to actively and voluntarily build physical and mental strength. I'd love for everyone to gain strength from watching." 

Lee Seung Woo, who plays Alex, a friendly gym trainer, said, "Each character has his own story, and the drama shows how all of them come together at the gym, begin exercising, and heal their wounds through working out. Please pay attention to the realistic moments that arise as they do so." 

Lee Ji Hye commented, "Each episode has a character that it focuses on, and their ways of solving problems are very novel and healthy. Please watch how they face challenges, overcome difficulties, and come to love themselves." 

Hong Yoon Hwa expressed, "Watching the actors' bodies transform will also be a lot of fun, so don't miss the live broadcast!"
