On their way to hit 3 million subscribers, an unemployed movie star and a legendary producer team up to create content to reboot their lives. Let's dive in and see why this Korean sitcom has us glued to the screen!
What is the new show about?
Ji Jin Hee (Romance in the House 2024) used to be a popular actor and entertainer back in the day, and he found a content creation company called KickKickKickKick with Jo Young Sik (Lee Kyoo Hyung Uncle Samsik 2024), who was once a star producer. Later, a scandal ended his heydays as a PD and even though he didn't have a good relationship with Ji Jin Hee at the time, until they started the KickKickKickKick company together.
With their employees Baek Ji Won (When Life Gives You Tangerines 2025), who worked as a therapist for employees, and Lee Min Jae (Hide 2024) who is refereed to as a "workaholic" they all aim to find success in their newly found company.
Episode one:
It appears that Actor Ji has been scammed out of his fortune and is being accused of assault as he is drinking alone on a rooftop and no one is taking his calls. Actor Ji starts a “live” on YouTube to try and explain to people that he did not assault anyone, just as PD Jo — who happens to be in the same building looking for a bathroom, and ends up on the rooftop.
PD Jo is a little intoxicated and sees what he thinks is blood on a wrench, which is really red wine, and calls the police. PD Jo hears someone talking and sees them slip and nearly go over the edge of the railing. Of course it is Actor Ji, and when PD Jo realizes who he is trying to save, he lets go (gasps) only for Actor Ji to grab his hair.
CEO DON MAN-HUI, of One Punch Capital sees the livestream and randomly offers to invest in Actor Ji and PD Jo, even going to the rooftop to meet them. CEO Don’s offer is that he will give PD Jo and Actor Ji three million dollars to reunite and create a production company. But there’s one condition: the production company must reach three million subscribers in six months or CEO Don will withdraw his investment. However, if PD Jo and Actor Ji pull it off, he will give them both 30% of the company, making them co-CEOs. Sounds like a pretty good deal right?
While deciding if they should accept this offer, PD Jo remembers visiting a couple of shamans who told him he cut ties with someone important ten years ago he needs to swallow his pride and cling to that person. Actor Ji imagines his office as CEO and PD Jo as his secretary. This leads to potential plot twists.
