Earlier, news spread that a product identical to the new product developed by the mother TF team was released first by a competitor. Eventually, Gong Ji-hyeok's father Gong Chang-ho (played by Choi Kwang-il) mistook Go Da-rim for an industrial spy and even slapped her. Of course, it was all a scheme hatched by Gong Ji-hyeok's half sister Gong Ji-hye (played by Jung Ga-hee) together with Yoo Tae-young (played by Jeong Hwan). However, Gong Ji-hyeok said, "I love this woman," and set out to protect Go Da-rim.
In front of company employees, Gong Ji-hyeok hugged the exhausted Go Da-rim tightly and said, "Trust only me. I'll solve everything somehow." But Go Da-rim found it painful to watch Gong Ji-hyeok struggle because of her. In particular, when Gong Ji-hye approached Go Da-rim and said that if Go Da-rim took all the blame she could protect Gong Ji-hyeok and the mother TF team, Go Da-rim became even more confused.
In the end, Go Da-rim falsely confessed that she was an industrial spy and coldly declared her breakup with Gong Ji-hyeok, telling him, "This is my lowest point." Afterwards, Go Da-rim disappeared to the countryside. But Gong Ji-hyeok did not give up. He found evidence through persistence and ran to where Go Da-rim was. Having missed Gong Ji-hyeok the whole time, Go Da-rim opened her heart again to his unwavering love and warmly saw off Gong Ji-hyeok as he headed to Seoul to solve the problem.
Meanwhile, Gong Ji-hye and Yoo Tae-young planned to push out not only Gong Ji-hyeok but also Gong Chang-ho from Natural Bebe. At the shareholders' meeting, they exposed Gong Chang-ho's corruption. Using the pretext that they had turned a blind eye to Go Da-rim's fraudulent employment, they also smeared Gong Ji-hyeok. People murmured and camera flashes went off incessantly. Then a confident-looking Gong Ji-hyeok appeared. His arrival, which would turn the whole board upside down, provided an exhilarating ending.
In episode 13 of 'Dynamite Kiss,' the process from the crisis surrounding the Gong Ji-hyeok X Go Da-rim couple to breakup, reunion and the refreshing payoff was shown at high speed. That brought the couple closer to the ending that viewers who love and support Gong Ji-hyeok X Go Da-rim desperately hope for, raising expectations for the final episode. In the process, the deepened love of the Gong Ji-hyeok and Go Da-rim couple was portrayed tenderly and also cutely, not missing the charm unique to a romantic comedy drama.
Above all, the flexible acting of the two actors Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin stood out. At moments of crisis and breakup, their delicate emotional lines brought viewers to tears, and at the moment of reunion, their lively chemistry made viewers smile. In particular, in the ending, Jang Ki-yong's energetic acting and his screen presence that commands attention in an instant shone, allowing viewers to enjoy an even more thrilling payoff. Added to this, Kwak Si-yang's warm yet witty comic performance as a special appearance also increased the viewing pleasure.
'Dynamite Kiss' has only one episode left until it ends. The preview for episode 14 hinted that another crisis would come for the Gong Ji-hyeok X Go Da-rim couple. Can Gong Ji-hyeok and Go Da-rim achieve the happy ending viewers want? The final episode of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Dynamite Kiss' will air Thursday, Dec. 25, tonight at 10 p.m.
