’24-Hour Health Club’: A New Fitness Rivalry Heats Up on KBS 2TV’s Drama
In the third episode of KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama 24-Hour Health Club, the narrative takes a bold turn as a new mega-gym opens up right across the street from Do Hyun-jung’s (played by Lee Joon-young) modest but passionate fitness center.
Previously, Mi-ran (portrayed by Jung Eun-ji), a once-timid gym beginner, underwent an impressive transformation with Hyun-jung’s dedicated coaching. However, her self-esteem took a hit when her outfit ripped in front of her ex-boyfriend, stirring embarrassment. In a tender moment, Hyun-jung shielded her with his own jacket, showcasing his subtle yet impactful care.
The plot thickens when Hyun-jung notices Mi-ran working out at the new shiny gym—potentially run by rival Roi (Kim Kwon). With questions swirling about what occurred between Hyun-jung and Mi-ran at a recent wedding, viewers are left wondering why she switched gyms, and whether loyalty now lies elsewhere.
To complicate matters further, Hyun-jung tails Mi-ran in a clumsy disguise, leading to a hilariously awkward stalking sequence. His skeptical glare towards Mi-ran and Roi in what seems like a cozy moment speaks volumes, adding layers of romantic tension and comedic relief.
The opening of Roi’s modern gym, equipped with the latest machines, intensifies pressure on Hyun-jung, especially with his own gym struggling financially. As former clients—and even Mi-ran—potentially migrate to the flashier facility, the future of Hyun-jung’s beloved fitness club hangs in the balance.
The rivalry isn’t just about workouts anymore—it’s personal. With emotional twists, subtle comedy, and battles over both hearts and memberships, 24-Hour Health Club promises viewers a rich mix of drama and charm.
