‘24 Hour Gym’ has opened the door to a one-of-a-kind muscle growth drama by revealing a script reading site filled with the actors‘ passion.

The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24 Hour Gym’ (directed by Park Jun-soo, Choi Yeon-soo/ written by Kim Ji-soo), scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, April 30th at 9:50 PM, is a heart-pounding muscle growth comedy romance about the gritty gym manager Do Hyeon-joong and the worry-prone Helen who unconventionally corrects the lives of the members.

The script reading site revealed today (18th) brought together the main characters who will lead ‘24 Hour Gym’. Directors Park Jun-soo, Choi Yeon-soo, writer Kim Ji-soo, and actors Lee Jun-young (as Do Hyeon-joong), Jung Eun-ji (as Lee Mi-ran), Lee Mi-do (as Rosa), Lee Seung-woo (as Alex), Park Sung-yeon (as Im Seong-im), Lee Ji-hye (as Yoon Bu-yeong), Hong Yoon-hwa (as Park Dool-hee), Lee Da-eun (as Lee Ji-ran), Lee Sang-jin (as Kang Dan), and Kim Kwon (as Roy) all showed their passion for the production.

First, Lee Jun-young heated up the atmosphere by perfectly immersing himself in the role of Do Hyeon-joong, the gym fanatic who is “getting up and down”. Not only did he bring to life the image of a character who is more serious about working out than anyone else, he also left an impact with unique greetings that are full of humor unique to gyms, such as “Gym morning”, “Gym bye”, and “What the fat!” With the diverse charms of the character completed through Lee Jun-young, he said, “I personally look forward to being able to tell diverse and touching stories about the body through Hyun Joong,” making potential viewers’ hearts flutter.

Jung Eun-ji transformed into the role of Lee Mi-ran, a member of the ‘Mugeun (筋)bone’ Helin, and showed the essence of a ‘Trust-Coa (a comedic icon you can trust and watch)’ that makes viewers burst into laughter. Leading the set with her free acting, she started exercising to overcome heartbreak, but she already seemed to have melted into the character who faces an even bigger ordeal. Jung Eun-ji introduced the points of anticipation, saying, “Can your life change just with exercise? It contains various joys and sorrows, so please watch a lot.” Also, Jung Eun-ji and Lee Jun-young showed off perfect chemistry from their first meeting, exchanging lively lines.

Lee Mi-do and Lee Seung-woo, Park Sung-yeon and Lee Ji-hye, and Hong Yoon-hwa foreshadowed exciting relationships as gym employees and members. Lee Mi-do and Lee Seung-woo perfectly portrayed the gym‘s boss Rosa and mascot Alex, who have strong personalities, while Park Sung-yeon, Lee Ji-hye, and Hong Yoon-hwa of the ‘Witches’ Three Musketeers’ also showed off a fantastic acting combo that you couldn‘t take your eyes off of, taking charge of the drama’s tension.

In addition, the passionate acting of actors with unique charms such as Lee Da-eun, Lee Sang-jin, Kim Kwon, and Jo Jung-chi also left a deep impression. The teamwork of these people who showed great chemistry from the script reading is being implemented, and the live broadcast where relatable episodes will unfold pleasantly is highly anticipated.

‘24-Hour Health Club’ is a collaboration between director Park Jun-soo of ‘Gaussian Electronics’, ‘The God of Music’, and writer Kim Ji-soo of ‘Postpartum Care Center’. It will be the follow-up to ‘Villain‘s Country’, and will be aired for the first time on April 30 (Wednesday) at 9:50 p.m.
