Dynamite Kiss

don’t waste your time

the only good episodes are the first two ( maybe the 3th and 4th too )
first off all the plot is lacking wdym the plot is about her lying about her being married as if the company wouldn’t ask for her marriage license anyway it’s a kdrama so we’ll say nothing
her blindness is too much wdym you thought he wanted to kiss you because he wasn’t well oh please
after going through all this shitty misunderstanding his dad slap her ?? how is that even allowed and then they broke up they literally lasted two minutes
i didn’t watch the two last episodes but i’ve seen some tweets about it wdym he lost his memory ??? now why do we have to deal with all the cliche stuff ??
not to forget the horrible writing of her friend he just seem to plain suddenly he realized his feelings for her when she founds the love of her life oh please..

*SPOILER ALERT*

To me, this one is bittersweet, and I’ll tell you why…

The show started SO WELL. I was genuinely in love with them. Great chemistry, cute and intimate moments, comedy balanced with drama, cliché in the right amount… everything was lining up perfectly. And then the final episode happened.

WHY do writers still think amnesia is a good plot twist in 2025? They wasted precious screen time with memory loss instead of giving us what we actually deserved: the protagonists finally being happy. They robbed us of scenes that would’ve been beautiful just to shove in a cheap trope that added nothing.

I understand Seonwoo’s emotional block. He was deeply hurt: first by the mother of his child, then by Darim. Trauma doesn’t disappear overnight. BUT YEARS??? Years of pushing Hayeong away while clearly caring about her and giving her hope??? Unforgivable. Their arc had so much potential and was one of the most emotionally interesting parts of the show. Completely wasted.

The loose ends frustrate me the most. Seonwoo’s past is full of holes. I genuinely thought the mother of his child was dead, but no… she’s alive somewhere? No explanation, no closure.

And Darim’s sister storyline? A mess. She goes to Jeju to look for her sister, suddenly reunites with Jihyeok, they kiss, his memory comes back… and then she just forgets why she was even there and goes back to Seoul. Excuse me? What about the sister?

They tried to resolve in 20 minutes what should’ve been developed calmly over the entire episode. Instead, we lost meaningful resolution to an amnesia plot that cost one year of their lives.

Dynamite Kiss could’ve ended beautifully, but the ending was deeply disappointing. However, somehow, I adored the series.

Started for Jang Ki-yong, Stayed for Everyone

I was really excited to watch this drama, and it turned out to be one of those rare ones I could finish without getting bored at all. I first started watching it for Jang Ki Yong, but I quickly realized that everyone in this drama was exceptional.
Ahn Eun Jin is such a strong actress with her own unique charm, I truly enjoyed watching her. I also loved all the mothers in the drama, and even the colleagues felt realistic and warm.
The second female lead, Woo Da Vi, really stood out. She was excellent, and I honestly think she can become a first lead very soon. Her scenes with her mother were beautiful, and her mother storyline with Kim Mu Jun was sweet, natural
Overall, this was a happy, feel-good drama with no unnecessary dragging, great side characters, and smooth pacing. I loved it, and the last dance was the perfect ending.

Wasted Potential

Dynamite Kiss actually started really good. It was chaotic and fast-moving, and the leads clicked almost instantly.

But after episode three or four, it started getting a bit boring. Towards the last few episodes, I was honestly just skipping through. I think the main reason was the same old cliché K-drama scenes — the chaebol boy, poor girl storyline that we’ve seen so many times already.

And I’m not even going to talk about the controversial trope of the female lead being married and the male lead knowing about it, and yet they were still… you know, getting closer. It just made me uncomfortable.

The only thing that actually kept me going with this drama was the chemistry between the main leads. They looked really good on screen — like a mature, natural couple — and that part genuinely worked for me.

I also want to mention the second male lead because I really, really wish they had shown him only as a friend. We could’ve had such a great friendship dynamic there. And honestly, we might’ve even gotten more proper romance for the second couple instead of them getting together only in the last episode.

So overall, this drama did disappoint me a bit. But honestly… that’s kind of how this entire year of K-dramas has been for me anyway.

best chemistry everrrr

if you are looking for something which is a perfect blend of romance, drama, comedy etc. then this is it. Although the rating of this drama has gone down, it was still a good watch. but there was some drawbacks just like all other kdramas. The drama was perfectly scripted from ep 1 to ep 12 then the last two eps completely ruined it bringing those useless plot twist like amnesia, second leads incomplete ending.. they could have ended it perfectly with the first leads getting happy ending without that useless amnesia thing. And about the second leads, I would prefer a perfect ending where the sml realized sfl's absence and then chased after her. their story had so many potential but the writers completely ruined it. But then again it's a kdrama, obs they had to ruin it in last 2 eps.

still, the drama was full of great chemistry, emotions and comedy. the idea was nice but they could have made it better.. the drawbacks can be ignored given the acting potentials of the cast. they were so perfect and well coordinated.

Overstuffed Plot and Unnecessary Drama

I had really high hopes for this show when it started. I loved the first episode, but it quickly went downhill for me. I’m just not a fan of misunderstanding-based plots, and this show took it way further than normal. It was misunderstanding after misunderstanding, and then on top of that they ended it with amnesia. I genuinely don’t understand why all of that was necessary. The show would have been just as good without the amnesia and constant misunderstandings. For me, it completely ruined the experience.

I also really disliked the female lead. I felt like the show kept downplaying how toxic her behavior was. She constantly lied to and deceived him to his face, hurt him on purpose over and over again, and said really cruel things to him. From the very beginning, he was the only one actually fighting for the relationship and making any effort from the first day they met. She never really tried. Instead, she kept lying and attempting to break up multiple times. It wasn’t until the very last episode that she finally showed even a bit of effort, which felt far too late.

I also agree with other reviews about the villains. They were completely useless and poorly written. There was just way too much going on in this show. It would have been much better if they had picked one or two plot points and stuck with them. Instead, they tried to cram in everything: abusive parents, abandonment issues, a sick mother, suicide attempts, corporate power struggles, jealous siblings, misunderstandings, amnesia, jealousy, love triangles, love squares… it was exhausting.

Overall, I can’t recommend this one. It’s better to skip it.

Enjoyed watching it!

I had a great time watching the series. At first, I was hesitant to watch because of the negative reviews but I realized, most often than not, it's better to judge the series on your own than be swayed by the negative reviews.
The story was very interesting despite what others claim that it's full of cliches. There were many cute and funny moments. There were scenes that made me feel really good and happy. I was able to reflect and be grateful for the little blessings in life. I love the acting of the actors, very natural. The main couple definitely had chemistry. Overall, a great watch and, of course, a rewatchable series.

It was a nice change to see some progresiveness

Good things happened so early and naturally that I was surprised. Also some great characters.

Let's see,
Yes after the 10th episode things fell down to the cliche hall. I started having physical discomfort when the half sister manipulated Da-rim to leave. Fast forwarded the mandatory break up scene. Got entertained when they announce the best person to be the CEO was a woman living in a hospital for the last 10 years. Like even if it was falsely done and her mental health was good, is it that easy to return as CEO but ok. I laughed my head off when the car accident happened and then. after that a memory loss was again mandatory.
But none of that matters much I think, because the first half of it was light, happy and warm. Jang ki young was so cute with his mimics. His energy was amazing.
Though the star was Yoo ha yeong for me. Such a refreshing side character that didn't hooked up on the ML blindly. Her story was so fun to watch.

But the best thing about this show was how the kissing and sleeping together weren't a big thing. They just happened, not much thought on it. Two adults met and liked each other and they were making out in a bed on the day after in a vacation place. So normal yet hard to see in a show. And also in the first episodes. So I'm adding extra points.

It was a nice change to see the timeline reversed. I'm accepting that nothing is perfect and grateful for this much freshness that I can overlook the last episodes bombed with cliches.
Definitely recommend watching till 10th episode.
