Genre: Romantic Comedy

A young woman meets a wealthy CEO on a trip to Jeju. But just as things start to heat up, she is forced to drop everything and return home with no chance to explain. So she is shocked when she goes on a job interview back home, disguised as a young mother, only to find the handsome heir as her potential new boss. And although he is initially against hiring her, she soon finds herself working directly under him. And although they both feel the chemistry, they will need to clear up some very big misunderstandings, if they are going to be able to trust each other either professionally or personally.

‘Dynamite Kiss’ is a breezy romantic comedy. The story is cute and the leads are good together. The second lead couple add a layer of sweetness. It reminds me of an old-style classic rom-com full of sweet, heart-fluttery moments and over-exagerrated misunderstandings. 

If you like your dramas full of substance and logic, this is not for you. The simple plot left writers scrambling to fill screen time by presenting almost every trope known to kdrama. The drama ran at least 2 episodes longer than it should have. And the lead characters sometimes feel a bit tarnished for the sparkling rom-com image. But I enjoyed this silly, fluffy love story and although I didn’t love it, I don’t regret watching it. I give ‘Dynamite Kiss’ a 7 out of 10 ramen.
