The "24-Hour Health Club" is continuing its success on domestic and international platforms.
KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama "24-Hour Health Club" (directed by Park Jun-soo and Choi Yeon-soo, written by Kim Ji-soo) has given birth to an unprecedented "health" genre K-drama, captivating the hearts of viewers both in South Korea and abroad simultaneously with its broadcast.
As evidence of this, the "24-Hour Health Club," which has aired up to episode 6, ranked first in the 'Drama Top 20' on Wavve as of the 15th (Thursday) and proved its popularity by landing in the top ranks of 'Today’s Top 10' on the OTT platform Disney+.
Additionally, on the local number one OTT platform "Friday Video (friDay Video)" in Taiwan, it not only ranked first in the drama category but also recorded second overall, showcasing its popularity that spans both domestic and international audiences. The global K-content fan-favorite Asian entertainment-focused OTT platform Rakuten Viki also saw it rise into the top 3 weekly rankings based on viewers across the Americas, Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, and all of India in its second week of broadcasting, while obtaining fervent responses by ranking first for two consecutive weeks in 82 countries, including major countries like Brazil, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Saudi Arabia.
After the broadcast, viewers remarked, "Lee Joon-young and Jeong Eun-ji's chemistry as Tiki-Taka is extraordinary. It's a match made in heaven," "This drama will give you abs from laughing," "I want to work out at a gym with Director Do," "Is this drama trying to make viewers work out or induce late-night snacks?" "It's a charming drama that takes care of health while also delivering emotional depth," and "I bet it’s going to become popular, placing a bet on Kim Jong-kook," resulting in a surge of inquiries for new member registrations.
It captures the hearts of viewers with a unique concept described as "muscle flirting," featuring various stories of characters growing not only physically through simple changes in the gym but also mentally, showcasing a delightful blend of comedy and romance, highlighted by the comic and heart-fluttering chemistry between Lee Joon-young (playing Do Hyun-jung) and Jeong Eun-ji (playing Lee Mi-ran). The storyline with a clear beginning, middle, and end, along with well-structured epilogue scenes each episode, stirs emotions and has been generating word-of-mouth, drawing attention to the future operations of the "24-Hour Health Club."
The determined gym manager Do Hyun-jung, who is overflowing with passion, is dramatically correcting the lives of gym-goer members who are overly stressed while unfolding the heart-pounding muscle growth comedic romance. KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama "24-Hour Health Club" will air its seventh episode at 9:50 p.m. on the 21st (Wednesday).
