Ji Jin-hee and Lee Kyu-hyung protected the company with their sense of responsibility and gravity.
On the 6th, the 10th episode of the KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama "Kick Kick Kick Kick" (written by Jeong Soo-hyeon, Nam Eun-gyeong, Jeong Hae-young, directed by Ko Seung-joon) depicted the struggles of Ji Jin-hee (Ji Jin-hee) and Jo Young-sik (Lee Kyu-hyung), who were in dire straits due to investor Don Man-hee's (Kim Joo-heon) restructuring crisis.
Kick Kick Kick Kick Company has only 40,000 subscribers left to reach 3 million subscribers, but its financial situation has worsened to the point where it is struggling to pay employee salaries. Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik hastily raised funds by making cameo appearances in various works, but the fundamental problem of greater expenditure than revenue has not been resolved. Moreover, investor Don Man-hee notified them that he would enforce restructuring as a condition for a second investment, leaving the two representatives in a desperate situation.
Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik sought legal advice as they faced the reality that, without investment, it would be impossible to turn a profit within six months. In the meantime, Don Man-hee expressed his intention to lay off Baek Ji-won (Baek Ji-won), Noh In-seong (Jeong Han-seol), and Ga Joo-ha (Jeon So-young), plunging the company into an unprecedented crisis. Consequently, Noh In-seong left the company in a fit of anger and took on various jobs, but the more he did so, the more he longed for Kick Kick Kick Kick Company, while Ga Joo-ha tearfully expressed that she didn't want to leave because she loved being there, touching the hearts of many.
However, even with the sky falling, there was a way out. Lee Min-jae (Lee Min-jae) became the spark of hope by presenting an item that combined content and commerce. Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik seriously listened to the staff's ideas and began to believe that generating revenue was possible, raising morale. Furthermore, the two representatives expressed confidence in achieving profitability independently without restructuring, even pushing back against Don Man-hee.
Although it is still uncertain what effects content commerce will have, Ji Jin-hee, Jo Young-sik, and the staff could not hide their happiness at the opportunity to draw the next step together without anyone being laid off. Notably, during this process, everyone exhibited a profound affection for Kick Kick Kick Kick Company, moving many. After spending a considerable amount of time together, striving toward their objectives, the people of Kick Kick Kick Kick Company had formed a bond that allowed them to connect with the word "we."
Moreover, even though Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik became representatives unexpectedly, Kick Kick Kick Kick Company has now become something they must protect and an important part of their lives. Whether the two representatives can realize their dream of independence by escaping Don Man-hee's shadow with a content commerce item remains a focus of attention regarding the company's progress.
Even amid the crisis, romance continued. Wang Jo-yeon (Jeon Hye-yeon) realized that she liked Kang Tae-ho (Kim Eun-ho) and was on high alert for every moment of his. To gauge Kang Tae-ho's feelings, she went on a blind date and lied about moving abroad, but Kang Tae-ho, who had already figured her out, did not show the response she wanted.
As Wang Jo-yeon began to feel increasingly disappointed, Kang Tae-ho confessed first that they should start a workplace romance rather than keep her in suspense, announcing the birth of the company's first couple and sparking excitement. Most importantly, a thrilling romance between Wang Jo-yeon and Kang Tae-ho is anticipated among the not-so-easygoing staff, further arousing curiosity about their secret relationship.
KBS2's Wednesday-Thursday drama "Kick Kick Kick Kick" airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:50 p.m.
