Will Dynamite Kiss Be Cancelled or Renewed for Season 2?

Current Status: Concluded After One Season

Dynamite Kiss premiered on SBS on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, airing Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. KST. It is co-written by Ha Yoon-ah & Tae Kyung-min, directed by Kim Jae-hyun, and stars Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin. The show also streams globally on Netflix.

The series is scheduled for a total of 14 episodes in this run. Netflix has billed the December 24, 2025 installment as the “final episode” of the series, indicating that it will not return for a second season.

Performance Outlook

  • The show aims to revive SBS’s weekday romance drama footprint, a slot that holds strategic importance.
  • The cast pairing (Jang Ki-yong & Ahn Eun-jin) and premise (single woman posing as a mother to get a job > workplace romance) are being positioned as strong draws.
  • The streaming partnership with Netflix means global reach may contribute to the show’s long-term performance metrics.
  • Renewal will depend on how the show performs across live ratings, delayed viewership, streaming engagement, and international lift.
  • With this being the first season, the show is in a “waiting” phase: its future largely hinges on how this initial run performs rather than past seasons.

In its favour:

  • Solid network positioning (SBS Wednesday-Thursday primetime) and genre (romantic comedy) are favourable for renewal potential.
  • Global streaming availability via Netflix gives it an additional performance track beyond domestic ratings.
  • A 14-episode run means the production commitment is moderate, not as heavy as a long 20-episode series, reducing renewal risk.

Possible risks:

  • The show’s domestic ratings threshold will likely need to meet or exceed what SBS expects for weekday dramas in that time slot; if performance falls short, renewal becomes less likely.
  • As many metrics (streaming numbers, international engagement) are not publicly detailed, there is some unpredictability in how renewal decisions will be made.
  • If this shows under-whelms compared to competing dramas in the same slot, network resources may shift elsewhere.

Our assessment:

Given that Dynamite Kiss ranked No. 1 on Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English TV) for two consecutive weeks, SBS and Netflix may very well be tempted to give Season 2 green-light sometime in early 2026. However, unless the intimation that the December 24 episode is the final episode is reversed, it seems that Dynamite Kiss is a one-and-done.

About Dynamite Kiss

The story follows Go Da-rim, a single woman who pretends to be a married mom to land a job at a baby products company. What starts as a small lie quickly spirals when she meets her sharp, stoic team leader Gong Ji-hyeok, and one impulsive kiss turns their office lives delightfully upside down.
