Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Happy New Year, Sarangees!

We’re kicking off 2026 with Episode 2 of Dynamite Kiss and WOW, it is already doing the absolute most. Fresh off that explosive first kiss, our leads waste zero time falling hard and heading off on a swoony Jeju-do date. Things get real heated (it’s only episode TWO, y’all!!! 🔥) until the romance comes to a screeching halt when Da-rim gets devastating news: her mom has suffered a heart attack, thanks to her sister being on the run from loan sharks. Chaos!! Da-rim rushes back to Seoul, leaving Ji-hyuk heartbroken and frantically searching for her everywhere. We also learn about Ji-hyuk’s chaebol family drama. Meanwhile, broke and desperate, Da-rim applies for a job at Natural BeBe—yes, that Natural BeBe, owned by Ji-hyuk’s family—while lying that she’s married… with a child. The episode ends with Da-rim and Ji-hyuk locking eyes at her job interview and honestly? ABSOLUTE. CHAOS.

We also dig into fun facts about the drama and wrap things up with our beloved DK Trope Tracker. Buckle up—this chase is just getting started

Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Hello Sarangees! It’s time to start chasing our NEW drama, Dynamite Kiss! Since airing earlier this fall, Dynamite Kiss has become a bona fide hit in Korea and around the world, and it’s easy to see why. This is rom-com heaven, with every episode stuffed to the brim with tropes we love.

We meet Go Da-rim, our happy-go-lucky but down-on-her-luck heroine, and Gong Ji-hyuk, a handsome, icy chaebol heir who doesn’t believe in love. After a very drunk Da-rim tries to save Ji-hyuk’s life on the cliffs of Jeju-do—while he’s convinced she’s completely unhinged—their fates collide again. Da-rim runs into her ex-boyfriend, now married to her high school friend, and surprise! He’s the very man Ji-hyuk is trying to recruit.

What starts as a convenient alliance turns into a contract relationship, but things quickly spiral when their “fake” romance bleeds into reality, culminating in a first kiss that is truly dynamite. We wrap up the episode with our brand-new DK Trope Tracker. Let the chase begin! 💋🔥
