SBS just dropped the first trailer for Dynamite Kiss, and fans already agree the silly, feel-good rom-com era is making a comeback!
The drama brings back those chaotic misunderstandings, accidental kisses, and heart-fluttering chemistry we all missed from 2016 K-dramas. Read on for more exciting details!
Dynamite Kiss: A Chaotic Start to an Office Romance
The story follows Kong Ji-hyeok (Jang Ki-yong, The Atypical Family, 2024), a calm and logical team leader at a baby products company, and Ko Da-rim (Ahn Eun-jin, Genie, Make a Wish, 2025), an unemployed woman who desperately needs a job.
To get hired, Da-rim fakes being married with a child on her resume. But before joining the company, she accidentally kisses Ji-hyeok, who later turns out to be her new boss the next day. When he discovers he kissed a mysterious woman, chaos begins.
Ji-hyeok tries to fire her, but Da-rim threatens with the secret kiss that keeps her in the company. What follows is a mix of silly office fights, forced closeness, but also growing feelings that neither can avoid.
What We Loved About Dynamite Kiss' First Trailer
The newly released trailer gives a glimpse of their hilarious tension. From the awkward stares after their kiss to the desperate attempts to hide Da-rim’s lie, it feels like the kind of light-hearted chaos K-drama fans have been missing.
