‘24-hour health club’ heralded the birth of a relationship restaurant.

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.

Ahead of its first broadcast, ‘24 Hour Health Club’ has revealed the relationships between the main characters that will provide ultimate pleasure to prospective members.

● Is the fight more intense than exercise?! Manager Lee Jun-young vs the big shot Imido

The 24-hour gym, open 365 days a year, is run by three people: Do Hyeon-joong(played by Lee Jun-young), a world-famous bodybuilder who suddenly takes over an old gym; Rosa(played by Lee Mi-do), a hard-working member who is good at dealing with difficult members; and Alex(played by Lee Seung-woo), the gym’s mascot.

Among them, trainer Hyun-joong and Rosa bicker every day at the gym.Rosa regards Hyun-joong, who has become the second manager of the gym, as an intruder and is not fond of him.Whenever the two meet, they growl at each other and show off their crazy combination.However, the cheerful chemistry of the two people who strangely fit together is responsible for the vitality of the gym.Attention is focused on whether Hyun-joong and Rosa, who are bickering, can run the gym together and what influence each of their existences will have on each other.

● Travel agency employee Helin Jeong Eun-ji, Nam Gyu-hee, a new employee at the same time, and Angkaljin’s chemistry as colleagues

‘Mugeun(筋)bon’ Helin member Lee Mi-ran(played by Jung Eun-ji)is a travel product planning and development team manager at the travel agency ‘Susu Tour’, and always clashes with her co-worker Kim Ye-jin(played by Nam Gyu-hee).Ye-jin feels impatient seeing Miran, who is easygoing and creative, and irritates Miran with sharp remarks behind her smiling face.What will happen between the two? Miran and Ye-jin, co-workers with completely opposite personalities, will show a ‘real’ colleague rivalry in the real workplace.The way they keep each other in check but sometimes exchange tiki-taka in unexpected situations is expected to evoke sympathy in every episode.

● Jung Eun-ji’s closest confidants who can’t be stopped! ‘Goosebumps Couple’ Lee Da-eun and Lee Sang-jin

Miran’s closest associates include her younger sister, Ji-ran Lee(played by Da-eun Lee), who causes her headaches with her villainous behavior, and her boyfriend, Dan Kang(played by Sang-jin Lee).Ji-ran is usually busy teasing and harassing Miran in various ways, but she knows her true feelings better than anyone else.Ji-ran actively coaches Miran to find true love along with Dan Kang, and she acts as a supporter who supports her sister’s love life.

Miran, who was half-believing and half-plotting at the end of Jiran’s solution, is finally turned inside out by Jiran and Kangdan’s erotic love affair.The sight of the two sharing a deep love always gives Miran, who witnesses the scene from the closest side, a thrilling(?) stimulation.The existence of this couple who captures both romance and laughter by Miran’s side is another point to watch in the drama.It makes me even more curious about the synergy that will be created when the three of them come together.

In this way, ‘24 Hour Gym’ is expected to go beyond a simple exercise drama and contain relationships that everyone can relate to.KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘24 Hour Gym’, which is full of fun and realistic stories, will premiere on the 30th(Wednesday)at 9:50 PM as the follow-up to ‘Country of Villains’.
