‘24-Hour Gym’ has released its first teaser that causes muscle loss when you cry and abs when you laugh.

KBS 2TV‘s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24-Hour Gym’ (directed by Park Jun-soo, Choi Yeon-soo/written by Kim Ji-soo), scheduled to premiere on the 30th (Wednesday) at 9:50 PM, is a heart-pounding muscle growth comedy romance that unfolds as the gritty gym manager Do Hyun-joong unconventionally corrects the lives of the anxious Hellin members.

The first teaser video released today (the 1st) shows the gym scene of the gritty gym manager Do Hyun-joong (played by Lee Jun-young) and the gritty Hellin member Lee Mi-ran (played by Jung Eun-ji). The strange atmosphere that develops between the two people at the gym makes the hearts of prospective members flutter.

Mi-ran, shocked by her boyfriend’s breakup, accidentally enters Hyun-joong‘s gym and starts working out to change her life. On the other hand, Hyun-joong, who is more serious about working out than anyone else, shows off his madness as a ‘gy gym fanatic’ at every moment, such as when he catches Miran who falls and checks her weight with romantic eyes and voice, making people laugh. Hyun-joong’s trustworthy words, “I will change your life.”Mi-ran, who has been far from working out, faces an unexpected ordeal during Hyun-joong‘s 24-hour intensive care. Hyun-joong’s evil face, smiling at Miran in pain, makes people burst into laughter. It makes you wonder if Miran, a member of ‘Hellin-ie’, who has been building a wall between herself and exercise, will be able to live a fresh life after meeting ‘Hellchi-maniac’ Hyun-joong.

Hyun-joong and Miran get closer as they exercise together, and Miran feels the changes in her body and builds her self-esteem. When Miran finally says to Hyun-joong, “How about your butt instead of your chest?”, in the manner of a person crazy about exercise, the expression on the face of the manager (played by Heo Jeong-do) who misunderstands this adds to the interest. The two people with completely opposite personalities meet and what kind of story they will complete, and the heart-pounding muscle growth comedy of Lee Jun-young and Jung Eun-ji that will reduce body fat and increase romance are even more anticipated.

‘24-Hour Health Club’ is the result of the collaboration of 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 first air on the 30th (Wednesday) at 9:50 p.m.
