Ji Jin-hee and Lee Kyu-hyung showed fantastic comedic chemistry.

KBS2‘s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Kik Kik Kik’ (written by Jung Soo-hyun, Nam Eun-kyung, Jung Hae-young / directed by Koo Sung-joon), which first aired on the 5th, announced a refreshing start with a story packed with drama and comedy and the passionate performances of the actors led by Ji Jin-hee (as Ji Jin-hee) and Lee Kyu-hyung (as Jo Young-sik).

‘Kik Kik Kik’, which started with the reunion after 10 years between actor Ji Jin-hee (played by Ji Jin-hee), who was at the peak of his career by winning the Grand Prize in Variety Show, and star PD Jo Young-sik (played by Lee Kyu-hyung) who led him to variety shows, drew viewers in from the beginning with its extraordinary story. As Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik, who went from best friends to enemies, accidentally kiss and engage in a fistfight, investor Don Man-hee (played by Kim Joo-hun), who was watching Ji Jin-hee’s live broadcast, offers to invest in the two if they establish a content company.

When Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik hear Don Man-hee‘s proposal, which includes an investment of hundreds of millions of won and a condition of reaching 3 million subscribers within 6 months, they imagine a rosy future and immediately announce the establishment of the company on the live broadcast. It was only natural that people’s attention was drawn to the announcement of the return of the ‘Integrity Couple’ that once took the entertainment world by storm.

Then, after a fierce survival battle, Lee Min-jae (played by Lee Min-jae), who came to make a delivery and then applied for a job, writer Wang Jo-yeon (played by Jeon Hye-yeon) who joined as a scouted by Jo Young-sik, Kang Tae-ho (played by Kim Eun-ho), Jo Young-sik‘s junior PD, and youngest writer Ga Ju-ha (played by Jeon So-young) who came running after seeing the live broadcast joined, and the Kik Kik Kik Company was officially established. In addition, the unconventional promise of a nude couple pictorial if the subscriber target is reached due to the employees’ fervor over the hiring of the unverified talent Noh In-seong (played by Jeong Han-seol) for the recruitment of new talent for the first time, foreshadowing a difficult yet funny and sad content production period.

In this way, ‘Kikkikkik’ quickly builds up the story in a speedy development from the haphazard establishment of the company to the unconventional hiring of talent, immersing viewers from the first episode. In particular, the lines that lead to a feast of sharp jokes and the fast-paced directing maximized the taste of the sitcom.

Above all, the actors‘ sly acting stood out. Ji Jin-hee caught the eye with his lovely and silly charm that contrasts with his gentlemanly image, and Lee Kyu-hyung threw in humorous points at the right places with his genius of breathing comedy into every line and action. Here, the acting chemistry of the two actors, who cheerfully digested the chemistry between the characters of Ji Jin-hee and Jo Young-sik, made the viewers laugh repeatedly.

In addition, Lee Min-jae (as Lee Min-jae), Jeon Hye-yeon (as Wang Jo-yeon), Jung Han-seol (as Noh In-seong), Kim Eun-ho (as Kang Tae-ho), and Jeon So-young (as Ga Joo-ha) also charmingly digested characters with unique personalities and characters, raising expectations for the stories and relationships of the employees of ‘Kik Kik Kik Company’ to be revealed in the future.

KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Kik Kik Kik’, where you can meet Ji Jin-hee and Lee Kyu-hyung, who are embarking on a grand operation to regain their prime, will air its second episode today (the 6th) at 9:50 PM.
