Welcome to YOUR Korean podcast drama!

Sarangees! We’re back with Episode 9 of Dynamite Kiss and y’all… THIS. IS. IT. THIS is the episode where Ji-hyeok finally finds out the TRUTHHH. It needed to happen.

But before he confronts Da-rim, he has to go through his engagement party with Ha-yeong, which is gloriously derailed when his mom fake-faints and single-handedly pauses the pending nuptials. She then decides to divorce his father for real and plans to move in with Da-rim’s mom once they’re discharged. When Ji-hyeok finally confronts Da-rim, he wastes no time. Feeling betrayed, he fires her on the spot and Da-rim begs for forgiveness.

Then, Seon-woo confesses his feelings and tells her to “think on it.” The two men then face off in the most ridiculous showdown at a photo exhibition interview, because of course they do. Ji-hyeok accepts his feelings for Da-rim and makes his move with a VERY hot kiss that leaves her completely stunned.

We also dive into the show’s addictive OST and close things out with the DK Trope Tracker!
