Cheer Up, Mr. Kim! (Hangul: 힘내요, 미스터 김!; RR: Himnaeyo, Miseuteo Kim!) is a 2012-2013 South Korean television series that aired on KBS1 from November 5, 2012 to April 26, 2013 on Mondays to Fridays at 20:25 for 124 episodes. It starred Kim Dong-wan in the title role of Mr. Kim, a male housekeeper who becomes the guardian of four children.

Kim Tae-pyung is the guardian of three (later, four) children, none of which are his own. Abandoned himself as a child, Tae-pyung took on the role of parent at the age of seventeen when his newborn niece was orphaned, unwilling to see her sent to an orphanage. Since then, he has taken on responsibility for three other children, the children of friends unable to care for them. Shouldering such responsibility at a young age, Tae-pyung was unable to complete his education and makes a living being a domestic cleaner and housekeeper, providing for his charges through hard work and scrimping and saving. Although his prospects of finding love are repeatedly dashed by those unwilling to take on his children, Tae-pyung continues to hope of finding someone who will love him for who he is and appreciate a man doing his duty by his family.
