Dynamite kiss is a romantic comedy about Go Da Rim (Ahn Eun Jin) - a single girl who has to pretend to be a married woman and has children to get a job, and Gong Ji Hyeok (Jang Ki Yong) - her group leader, who gradually develops feelings for her.
The story promises to bring humorous but emotional situations, revolving around two people who have to both hide their true emotions and face trouble at work and unexpected vibrations.
Director Kim Jae Hyun previously achieved great success with his debut film directed by him called "One Dollar lawyer" ( Lawyer 1,000 won), starring Nam Goong Min, achieving the highest viewership rating of up to 15.2% when it aired in 2022.
However, the drama suddenly ended in episode 12 instead of 14 as originally planned, sparking rumors of internal conflict and creative disagreement.
At the time, SBS denied the rumors, the station explained that the decision to shorten the number of episodes was "to speed up the plot". However, the audience still criticized the sudden and incomplete ending, calling it "a brilliant but disappointing ending".
Returning to Dynamite kiss after 3 years, when asked whether the success of One Dollar lawyer will put pressure on the new project, director Kim Jae Hyun frankly shared: I felt more of an expectation than pressure. Because One Dollar lawyer has been loved a lot, I believe that Dynamite kiss will also be warmly welcomed.
He also expressed his expectations for this film: My goal is to surpass the achievement of One Dollar lawyer (rating 15.2%). I want Dynamite kiss to bring more laughter and emotion.
Dynamite kiss also marks the reunion of director Kim Jae Hyun with actor Jang Ki Yong after the 2021 film Now, we are breaking up. He was a member of the production team of this project for a short time.
Director Kim shared about the reason for choosing Jang Ki Yong to play the male lead in his next work: "When Jang Ki Yong starred in 'Now, we are breaking up', we had a short relationship. I really want to work with him, and I think the character Gong Ji Hyeok looks exactly like the Jang Ki Yong I know.
He has a very elegant appearance and exudes the image of an elegant man, but deep inside is the charm of innocence and youthfulness. That purity and purity is the focus of Gong Ji Hyeok's character. I think no one but Jang Ki Yong can describe this.
The drama Dynamite kiss will premiere on November 12 on SBS.
