Dynamite Kiss concluded with the love story of Jang Ki Yong and Ahn Eun Jin, achieving a peak rating of 8.1%, 7% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and 6.9% nationwide. This marked seven consecutive weeks of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama leading weekday viewership, highlighting its immense popularity.

According to Nielsen Korea, the final episode on December 25 not only topped its time slot but also set a personal best, maintaining the drama’s consistent fan love. On this episode, protagonists Gong Ji Hyeok and Go Da Rim experienced ultimate happiness.

The drama also achieved significant domestic and international attention. Ji Hyeok obtained crucial evidence via a recording from Da Rim and used it to confront Gong Ji Hye and Yoo Tae Young at a shareholders’ meeting. His mother, Kim In Ae, who had endured a difficult life, finally reclaimed her rightful position, while Gong Chang Ho faced a bitter conclusion.

Overjoyed, Ji Hyeok rushed to Da Rim but was rendered unconscious due to Tae Young’s attack. Da Rim stayed by his side, praying for his recovery. When Ji Hyeok woke up, he had lost all memories of their happiness, reverting to a man skeptical of love. For the sake of Ji Hyeok, Da Rim eventually left him.

A year later, the couple reunited as if by fate. A dramatic “dynamite-level” kiss restored Ji Hyeok’s memories, and the two continued their love, culminating in marriage. Da Rim also achieved success with her own company, living an independent and confident life.

Dynamite Kiss delivered sweet thrills to viewers until the very end, leaving an impressive finale that captured the drama’s charm, creativity, and endearing characters. Its combination of heart-pounding romance, witty dialogue, and appealing characters fulfilled all the elements of a romantic comedy, generating a K-romcom craze across both the Americas and Asia.
