A viewer's guide through the latest hit K-drama, Dynamite Kiss

First things first, the Korean romantic comedy has released 10 episodes on the global streamer to date, and a brand-new episode is set to drop in a week. If the episodes so far are any clue, the new drops are going to be filled with twists and turns, managing to shock viewers and pull at their heartstrings at the same time.

What is Dynamite Kiss about?

The latest addictive K-drama follows the ambitious team leader of a baby products company, Gong Ji-hyuk, whose life is completely upended after he finds himself developing feelings for his colleague Go Da-rim. Luckily for him, Da-rin is also infatuated with him and reciprocates his feelings.

So, does that mean it's a happy ending? Well, not quite.

The budding romance between Ji-hyuk and Da-rin in Dynamite Kiss is thrown into complete chaos when he discovers the small detail that Da-rin is supposedly married and even has a kid. To make things even more chaotic, Ji-hyuk discovers Da-rin's 'so-called husband' in an extremely compromising position with a woman who is not Da-rin. So, what is this marriage where both the husband and wife are involved with other people?

The biggest shock is the truth itself, that unbeknownst to Ji-hyuk, Da-rin is not actually married and is just pretending to be so that she can stay employed at his baby product company.

The twists and turns in the story have viewers hooked for every new development, hoping and praying that the two can resolve all of these misunderstandings between them that have stemmed from this lie.
