Is Dynamite Kiss Worth Watching?
Opinions may vary. Some viewers say the story takes too long to get to the point, with certain conflicts stretching longer than necessary. Others feel the plot gets a bit messy toward the ending, as the storyline quite rushing. Some of the audience’s review from X (previously known as Twitter):
DynamiteKiss really went from romcom of the year to the worst mess of the year. the writers lost the plot trying to squeeze in every romcom cliché from the 2000s
I’m sorry, but the writer really wasted Kiyong & Eunjin’s chemistry in the final eps. The memory loss plot felt unnecessary. They have such good chemistry — I really hope they reunite in another project with a better script
But even with those critics, few people still call it a good watch—mainly because the good chemistry of the main leads.
Dynamite Kiss is a fast-paced romcom about broken dreams, unexpected love, and one unforgettable kiss. Jang Ki-Yong & Ahn Eun-Jin bring charm despite cringy moments. Still a feel-good KDrama worth watching. 8.5/10
