In '24-hour health club,' Jeong Eun-ji was embraced by Lee Jun-young.
The KBS2TV drama '24-hour health club' (written by Kim Ji-soo, directed by Park Joon-soo, Choi Yeon-soo, produced by CJ ENM STUDIOS, Bon Factory, Monster Union, KeyEast), which premiered on the 30th, depicted the first meeting between the health-obsessed man Do Hyun-jung (played by Lee Jun-young) and the love-thirsty woman Lee Mi-ran (played by Jeong Eun-ji).
Do Hyun-jung's life revolved solely around health. The woman said, “Let’s break up! Live alone for the rest of your life with that useless broad chest! You won’t cry, will you? Afraid of muscle loss,” but he was all about health. A man who takes care of protein but forgets anniversaries, a man who can hang on the bar but can’t hang onto a girlfriend—that was Do Hyun-jung.
After winning at the 2023 Mister David, Do Hyun-jung took his trophy and then disappeared somewhere. He subsequently became the director of a dilapidated semi-basement gym, where he clashed with Choi Lo-sa (played by Im Mi-do) over various issues while promoting and exercising every day, displaying a tough demeanor.
For Lee Mi-ran, life was full of mysteries. Love was important to her, yet her first love, Jun-sang, asked her to be the goalkeeper when she confessed. Lee Mi-ran recalled bitterly, “I wore a dress with ribbons that day.” Furthermore, a male friend who contemplated using kiss time during Valentine's Day 2018 made a proposal saying, “Mi-ran, I want to be by your side in life. I want to see our child being born and walking,” while offering her insurance by stating, “It’s a guaranteed insurance that covers from age 1 to 100.”
Lee Mi-ran lamented, “Why do men want me to sign insurance terms instead of a love pledge? Why is it so hard to be loved? I feel like I'm cursed to never be able to receive love.”
And in 2025, Lee Mi-ran cried after being dumped by her boyfriend, who rejected intimacy, saying, “Why can’t I? Why aren’t we sleeping together? We’ve been to a motel, kissed, and done almost everything, so why? Do you have another woman? Are you married? Do you like men?”
As it was a workplace romance, he requested another conversation. Yeom Jun-seok said, “Mi-ran, I love you. No one is as considerate and capable of making others feel good as you are. You’re always attentive to what people like and care about. That’s why the travel package you created was appreciated by the customers,” but Lee Mi-ran didn’t need words like that.
Lee Mi-ran interrogated, “Then why didn’t we sleep together yesterday? Please tell me. If Jun-seok just leaves, I will be left to wonder for the rest of my life. I must ponder the time we spent together, thinking about what I did wrong.” In response, Yeom Jun-seok shouted, “It doesn’t work with you. No matter how hard I try, my body doesn’t respond to you,” leaving Lee Mi-ran in shock as she decided to apply for a 5 million won health care system with Do Jun-hyung.
Do Jun-hyung caught the falling Lee Mi-ran while saying, “Is it 162.7 cm and 62.8 kg?” and added, “You’re overweight,” which left Lee Mi-ran bewildered.
