The Wednesday-Thursday drama is heating up at home and abroad. In Korea, Episode 6 (aired Nov. 27) peaked at 8.1% nationwide, holding the No. 1 spot among all weekday dramas. Internationally, it climbed to Netflix’s Global Top 2 (Non-English, Nov. 17-23) and hit No. 1 in 13 countries.
"Dynamic Kiss" follows Go Da-rim (Ahn Eun-jin), a single woman who fakes being a mom to land a job at a baby-products company, and her team leader, Gong Ji-hyeok (Jang Ki-yong), who falls for her―both of them aching with feelings they can’t say out loud. As their secret crush deepens, so does the swoon factor. Here are the standout romantic beats that have viewers’ dopamine spiking.
◆ A Kiss like a Natural Disaster: “That Night, We Were Dynamite”
A chance encounter in Jeju forces Ji-hyeok and Da-rim to pose as a fake couple. When their act is about to be exposed, Da-rim plants a kiss to save the day―and everything changes. The “dynamite” kiss explodes like fireworks in their heads and hearts, launching them straight into can’t-deny-it chemistry.
◆ “We Didn’t Mean To…” and Then, Another Kiss
Da-rim, now hired after pretending to be a mom, suddenly finds herself working under the very guy from that earth-shaking kiss. She tries to focus―until a prize event leads to yet another unexpected kiss. It wasn’t planned, but the spark reignites on the spot.
◆ Hero Mode Activated: “How Much? Put It on My Card.”
On her way home, Da-rim is snatched by loan sharks over her missing brother’s debts. Ji-hyeok spots the abduction and gives chase. Sweeping in with a black card and zero hesitation, he throws down: “I’ll buy the debt. How much? Do you take cards?” A classic knight-in-a-suit rescue that sent hearts across Korea into overdrive.
◆ Liquid Courage, Maximum Tension: “I’ll Only Let Myself Waver Today”
Ji-hyeok keeps protecting Da-rim like it’s nothing, and her feelings get complicated fast. Still, neither can say how they truly feel. After a few drinks, Da-rim finally cracks: stop being so nice―because it makes her waver. “Just today, I’ll let myself waver,” she admits. His eyes give him away; the romantic tension is off the charts.
◆ Owning His Feelings: “I Think I’m Losing It”
Ji-hyeok keeps telling himself it’s just “because she’s on my team.” But when Da-rim hits a rough patch, his restraint crumbles. He rushes her to the ER on his back, silences a call from another man, and thinks, “I want to be the only one by your side. I think I’m losing it.” As he finally faces the truth, viewers’ heart rates soar.
"Dynamic Kiss" leans into familiar rom-com beats and amplifies the butterflies―powered by charismatic leads, punchy dialogue, and zippy, tension-packed direction. With Ji-hyeok finally admitting his feelings, where does their love story go next?
