## Synopsis

Dynamite Kiss (2025) is a South Korean romantic comedy series created by Kim Jae-hyun, Ha Yoon-ah and Kim Hyun-woo for SBS. Jang Ki-yong plays Gong Ji-hyeok, an heir whose life tangles with Ahn Eun-jin's Ko Da-rim, a young woman who begins a passionate fling in Jeju that ends abruptly, then returns to his company disguised as a married mother. Kim Moo-joon, Woo Da-vi and Choi Gwang-il round out the principal cast in the corporate orbit around the heir. The engine of the show is the mounting cost of a small lie: every new scene of office life pushes the disguise closer to collapse while the two leads keep circling each other. Told across a single fourteen-episode season, it moves through workplace mishaps, comic misunderstandings and escalating romantic tension rather than a case-of-the-week format. The series plays as a lively k-drama romcom, with farcical set pieces and a light, playful register that gives way to more melodramatic beats in its later stretch. Its Korean corporate settings are contemporary and urban, and its atmosphere is breezy and warm. Fans of Crash Landing on You, Business Proposal and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha will find resonance in its blend of comedy, longing and office romance.
