Dynamite Kiss- Episodes 3-4
Dynamite Kiss Episode 3: Workplace Sparks and Poolside Tension
Episode 3 kicks off with Da-rim nervously attending her interview at Natural Bebe, unsure if she’ll even make it past the first step. Of course, things take a hilarious turn when Ji-hyuk misses her interview entirely because he steps out to the restroom, classic K-drama timing. Despite her nerves, it turns out Ji-hye, the person in charge of hiring, isn’t really looking for skillful employees. Her goal? To build a team that will fail spectacularly under Ji-hyuk’s leadership.
Meanwhile, Ji-hyuk is in his own world, trying to bide time over the next six months while figuring out a way to free his mother from his father’s control. He’s also dodging the idea of marrying Ha-yeong, who’s sweet but persistent, all while his mind keeps drifting back to Da-rim and their unforgettable dynamite kiss.
Back in her world, Da-rim finds encouragement in Seon-u, who reminds her of her resilience and strength from their childhood. When she receives the job offer from Natural Bebe, her celebration with him is genuine and heartwarming, a small victory after all her struggles.
Her first day brings a whirlwind of new faces: the Mother TF team,bNan-sook, Jin-hee, and Go-eun are all full of hope, while Ji-hyuk, as team leader, immediately sets the tone with his trademark cool detachment. The reunion between Da-rim and Ji-hyuk is electric. Ji-hyuk is stunned to learn that Da-rim is a married mother with a six-year-old, and his disbelief turns to laughter, leaving Da-rim scrambling to save face. Their awkward elevator encounter escalates to a rooftop confrontation where Ji-hyuk scolds her for lying, and Da-rim audaciously claims that technically she didn’t, blaming the chaos on “temporary insanity.” He demands her resignation, but Da-rim, ever defiant, pushes back, setting the stage for a tense workplace dynamic.
Meanwhile, Ha-yeong is quietly chasing her own ambitions in the art world, crossing paths with Seon-u and planting the seeds for future storylines.
Back at Natural Bebe, the Mother TF team adjusts to the challenge of working under Ji-hyuk, who seems determined to let them fail. Da-rim takes charge, inspiring the women to prove themselves, even as Ji-hyuk schematically assigns her grueling tasks. A late-night fieldwork assignment has her staying awake for 36 hours, testing bottles for shrinkage, only for Ji-hyuk to arrive at the campsite when a small fire breaks out. Their fiery (literally) encounter ends with him hugging her, their tension crackling like electricity.
The next morning, Da-rim’s dedication earns the team recognition, even though Ji-hyuk continues to wrestle with his feelings. In a dramatic poolside scene, Da-rim confronts Ji-hyuk about the report, only for him to throw it into the water. In a bold move, she jumps in after it despite not being able to swim, forcing him to rescue her once more. As he holds her in his arms, the romantic tension reaches a boiling point, they stare into each other’s eyes, both flustered, both aware of the magnetic pull between them.
Dynamite Kiss Episode 4: Pools, Puppy Eyes, and Dramatic Rescues
Episode 4 opens with the lingering tension between Da-rim and Ji-hyuk at the pool. After rescuing her from the water, Ji-hyuk can’t hide his concern, while Da-rim, ever determined, begs him to focus on the reports she stayed up all night to finish. Their dynamic continues to mix flirtation with frustration, setting the tone for another emotionally charged episode.
Meanwhile, Seon-u enjoys a quiet moment with his son, Kim-jun, but chaos quickly erupts when Da-rim finds herself face-to-face with loan sharks outside her home. In classic K-drama fashion, Ji-hyuk arrives just in time, and the two scramble to hide in a discarded closet, almost sharing another heart-stopping, accidental kiss. Seon-u’s timely arrival as her “husband” leaves Ji-hyuk silently brooding over his jealousy, while Da-rim’s quick thinking keeps everyone safe.
Back at work, Da-rim continues to impress. Her overnight dedication to the report earns recognition from the Mother TF team, though Ji-hyuk remains resistant to show any approval. Even as challenges from Ji-hye and Choon-gu threaten the team’s success, Da-rim’s leadership and integrity shine through, inspiring her coworkers to push past the obstacles.
The episode blends tension and sweetness perfectly during a livestream product demo. Da-rim and Ji-hyuk’s chemistry continues to simmer as they’re mistaken for a married couple and participate in a baby formula competition—leading to an accidental but memorable kiss. It’s playful, romantic, and exactly the kind of lighthearted moment that keeps viewers swooning.
Yet, the stakes quickly escalate when Da-rim is kidnapped by the loan sharks after reporting them. Ji-hyuk’s heroic entrance, flaunting his resources to rescue her, showcases his protective side and deepening feelings. The contrast between their playful poolside antics and the life-threatening danger she faces highlights the growing complexity of their relationship; equal parts romance, comedy, and drama.
