The hot muscle growth story of people at the ‘24-hour gym’ begins.
KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24 Hour Gym Club’(directed by Park Jun-soo and 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(comedy romance) that unfolds as the gritty, hard-working gym manager Do Hyeon-joong unconventionally corrects the lives of the members of the gym who are full of worries.
Today(the 10th), the ‘24 Hour Gym’ production team revealed character posters of the gym 7 members who are brimming with cheerful energy, Lee Jun-young(as Do Hyun-joong), Jung Eun-ji(as Lee Mi-ran), Lee Mi-do(as Rosa), Lee Seung-woo(as Alex), Park Sung-yeon(as Im Sung-im), Lee Ji-hye(as Yoon Bu-young), and Hong Yoon-hwa(as Park Dool-hee).
The poster captures the polar opposite moments of the director Hyun-joong, staff members Rosa, Alex, and ‘Helin-i’ members Miran, Seong-im, Bu-yeong, and Dool-hee, capturing attention. The uncompromising confrontation between the Spartan trainers who are more serious about exercise than anyone else and the gym rookies is impressive.
Hyun-joong, a muscular hell-maniac, is focusing on Miran, the target of his management, with an overly confident expression. The phrase, “I’ll change it. Your life!” makes us feel his firm will to change Miran’s life somehow. On the other hand, Miran, who is lifting dumbbells with difficulty, looks tired as if she has already been overloaded by Hyun-joong’s passion, and shows a realistic, muscular hell-man appearance, which makes us laugh. As in the comment, “How can you change it. My life!” , curiosity is rising about what kind of effect Hyun-joong’s presence will have on her.
In addition, trainer Rosa, who only peeks out from behind Hyun-joong, is looking at Hyun-joong’s ‘health-crazy’ side with anxiety, while Alex is looking at him with anticipation. The other members, the ‘Witch Trio’ Seong-im, Bu-yeong, and Dool-hee, surround Hyun-joong and Miran while eating bread, sweet potatoes, and shikhye. The serious trainer and realistic Hel-in foreshadow that this drama will go beyond a simple exercise story and depict a story about life and growth. Expectations are running high for the activities of the Health Club 7, who will provide vicarious satisfaction to viewers through the growth process of the characters who take care of and love their bodies, and what kind of things are going on at the gym.
‘24 Hour Health Club’ is a collaboration between director Park Jun-soo of ‘Gauss Electronics’ and ‘The God of Music’ and writer Kim Ji-soo of ‘Postpartum Care Center’. It will be the follow-up to ‘Country of Villains’ and will premiere on Wednesday, the 30th at 9:50 PM.
