The '24-hour health club' announced the birth of 'Healthy Tod (a drama you want to see again).'
The KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama '24-hour health club' (directed by Park Joon-soo, Choi Yeon-soo / written by Kim Ji-soo / produced by CJ ENM STUDIOS, Bon Factory, Monster Union, KeyEast) aired its 1st and 2nd episodes on April 30 (Wednesday) and May 1 (Thursday), featuring a narrative that skillfully mixes comedy and romance, wherein the unpredictable '筋' fitness enthusiast engages in a witty back-and-forth with gym director Do Hyun-jung (played by Lee Joon-young) and '筋' beginner member Lee Mi-ran (played by Jeong Eun-ji). Consequently, today (the 3rd), we highlighted the '헬링' (health + healing) points from the first two episodes that made the first week 'exciting.'
#1 episode: The first meeting between the fitness enthusiast and the gym beginner, ultra-speed registration completed!
Unable to leave out the blazing love between men and women, Mi-ran was frustrated after ruining her first night with her boyfriend Yeom Joon-seok (played by Jeong Uk-jin). In contrast, the director of the old health club, Hyun-jung, witnessed the scene where Mi-ran was arguing with Joon-seok and guided Mi-ran, whose self-esteem was at rock bottom, into the gym to heighten the intrigue.
Mi-ran, who mistook the gym for a club, left a bewildering first impression, but Hyun-jung humorously checked her height and weight despite the situation, showcasing his 'fitness enthusiast' characteristics. In particular, the scene where Hyun-jung wiped Mi-ran's tears during the consultation, saying, 'If you cry, you'll lose muscle,' added comic relief to the romance, drawing in viewers emotionally.
#2 episode: Mi-ran's first growth phase, successfully wearing combat gear! What was the result? (feat. Hyun-jung rips his clothes)
Hyun-jung, who began intense training for Mi-ran, was shocked upon seeing her physical abilities. Mi-ran's body, with strength, flexibility, and stamina at rock bottom, clearly revealed the impact of a long sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits. Nevertheless, he continued her training for the 'valuable' Mi-ran who had purchased the 5 million won total life care package. Particularly, Mi-ran, who was on the verge of giving in to the temptation of carbohydrates and couldn't control her appetite, along with Hyun-jung trying to manage her, sparked intense engagement.
Despite the struggle with muscle soreness, Mi-ran successfully wore the impulsively purchased dress (combat gear) and achieved a dramatic transformation. On the day of the showdown, Mi-ran attended a colleague's wedding with Hyun-jung and unexpectedly faced her ex-boyfriend, Joon-seok, where she experienced the humiliation of having her clothes rip in front of him. Upon seeing this, Hyun-jung unhesitatingly embraced Mi-ran with nonchalant warmth, striking a chord with viewers. In the epilogue, it was revealed that Hyun-jung's clothes were also torn, further captivating attention on their developing narrative beyond simple personal training.
In this way, Lee Joon-young and Jeong Eun-ji perfectly conveyed the chemistry that fluctuates between fantasy and chaos from the very first week, showcasing the essence of a comic romance that surpasses simple romance. Their impeccable partnership has been noted to have captivated not only those who love romance but also those who cannot endure it.
'24-hour health club' will air its 3rd episode on the 7th (Wednesday) at 9:50 p.m.
