Dynamite Kiss

Synopsis

Gong Ji-hyeok and Go Da-rim work together to bring Go Da-rim’s ex-boyfriend into a business deal. But Ji-hyeok, a usually sharp and calm team leader, is caught off guard when he is kissed by Da-rim. Their relationship ends abruptly as Da-rim quickly departs back home as she hears news from her family.

Go Da-rim, hiding the fact she is a single woman, pretends to be a mother to earn a living and pay her family’s debt and mother’s medical bills. On her first day she realises Gong Ji-hyeok is her boss. Da-rim needs to continue the pretence as they work together to pay the debt but the initial goals start to give way to unexpected feelings.
