The latest episode of the hit K-drama Dynamite Kiss raised the stakes for its leading characters, mixing workplace tension with a dangerous cliffhanger. Episode 4, which released on November 20, 2025, sees Gong Ji-hyeok stepping in to save Go Da-rim from a dire situation, all while believing she is another man’s wife.
The episode picks up immediately after the shocking pool incident where Ji-hyeok threw Da-rim’s work report into the water. Soaked and shivering, Da-impresses Ji-hyeok with her determination, finally making him see how much her job means to her. This moment marks a shift in their dynamic, setting off a chain of events that includes a chase, an accidental kiss, and a dramatic rescue.
What Happened in Episode 4
The episode opens with Ji-hyeok driving a drenched Da-rim home after retrieving her from the pool. In the car, he reviews her report and offers genuine advice on how to improve it, showing a softer side. The tension escalates when Da-rim is confronted by loan sharks at her doorstep. Ji-hyeok, who had returned with her forgotten phone, accidentally gives away her identity, leading to a frantic chase through the streets. The two end up hiding together in a tight space to escape.
Their escape is short-lived, as they are discovered by Da-rim’s neighbor, Kim Seon-u. To maintain her cover, Seon-u introduces himself to Ji-hyeok as Da-rim’s husband. The scene leaves Ji-hyeok stunned, forced to watch the “couple” walk away hand-in-hand.
At the hospital visiting his mother, Ji-hyeok has flashbacks revealing his family’s painful past, including the arrival of his half-sister, which deeply hurt his mother. He later runs into Da-rim and her mother, where Da-rim explains the immense pressure she is under, from her mother’s hospital bills to her sister’s debts. She pleads with him to give her team a fair chance.
The drama continues at work as the team is forced to host a live broadcast. While gathering props, Da-rim persuades Ji-hyeok to enter a couples’ contest to win a popular baby product. During the final challenge, which involves passing a small piece of paper mouth-to-mouth, the paper slips and the two accidentally kiss. They lose the contest, but Ji-hyeok later buys the product for the team.
The live broadcast itself ends in disaster when the diaper Da-rim is demonstrating leaks on air due to sabotage. Just as an assistant begins to humiliate her, Ji-hyeok steps in, firmly stating, “no one except him can scold Da-rim.” The episode concludes on a high-stakes note: Da-rim is kidnapped by the loan sharks, who threaten to sell her organs. Ji-hyeok races to the scene, kicks open the door, and holds up his black card, declaring he will pay her entire debt.
