*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.
