Dynamite Kiss Episode 13 Recap: Ji-hyeok Asks for Marriage But Spy Scandal Tears Them Apart

In Dynamite Kiss Episode 13, they made a big move. Ji-hyeok asked Go Da-rim’s mother for permission to marry her daughter. The confession happened on December 24th when the show aired on SBS.

Gong Ji-hyeok sat down with Jeong Myeong-sun. He told her directly that he loves Da-rim. Ji-hyeok wants to marry her. He wants to be part of the family. Kim In-ae watched the whole thing. She smiled and said, “they look good together.” She even called it a nice gift before she moved out.

Later, Gong Ji-hyeok got worried. He asked Da-rim if her mother dislikes him. Da-rim acted cute about it. She said her mom was just flustered. She told him that her mom already fell for him.

Apparently, her mom likes handsome men, too. Gong Ji-hyeok felt relieved after hearing this. He said he felt better now that everything was out in the open.

Da-rim reassured him about work, too. She mentioned the baby carrier project. The finished product was finally out. She thought everything would be okay now. But things took a dark turn after that.

The peaceful moment didn’t last long at all. Someone at the company discovered Da-rim’s secret. She had been working undercover this whole time. A competitor suddenly released the same baby carrier. The one that the Mother TF team had developed. Everyone suspected Da-rim right away.

Gong Chang-ho completely lost it. He slapped Go Da-rim across the face. Chang-ho yelled at her, asking how she dared to come into his company. He accused her of being an industrial spy. The evidence looked bad. They found emails sent from Da-rim’s computer to the rival company. The messages had been sent to Mom’s Joy.

Da-rim tried to defend herself. She said she wasn’t a spy. She kept denying it. But the proof was right there on her computer. Gong Chang-ho wanted to fire her and cover it up. He told Gong Ji-hyeok to just cut her loose. But Ji-hyeok refused to do that.

When Love Meets Corporate Betrayal

Gong Ji-hyeok made his feelings crystal clear. He said he couldn’t handle it that way. Then he dropped a bomb. He told everyone that he loves Go Da-rim. He said he would investigate the matter himself. Then he left the room. His decision shocked everyone there.

Meanwhile, Han Mi-ok ran into someone unexpected. She bumped into Lee Kim-jun while she was out. Kim Seon-woo asked why she came there. She made up an excuse about looking at the land.

She suggested they get coffee since they met by chance. But Kim Jun said he was hungry instead. So the three of them ended up eating lunch boxes together.

Han Mi-ok asked Kim Seon-woo something directly. She wanted to know if he knew that Ha-young liked him. Kim Seon-woo gave her a firm answer. He said he won’t meet Yu Ha-young romantically. His response was really blunt. Han Mi-ok asked why he didn’t like Ha-young.

Kim Seon-woo explained his reasoning carefully. He said Ha-young should meet someone who can love her more than he can. Someone who truly loves her. Han Mi-ok didn’t know what to say after that. She just stared at him quietly. Kim Seon-woo apologized and ended the conversation there.

Yu Ha-young decided her future. She told everyone she’s going to America. She explained that she wants to finish her degree. The one she couldn’t complete before. Han Mi-ok questioned her choice. She said Kim Seon-woo seems like a good person. She asked why Ha-young is giving up.

The Company Crisis Deepens

Gong Ji-hye started working behind the scenes. She met with the shareholders privately. Ji-hye told them that if Ji-hyeok becomes the successor, they’ll all get pushed out.

She planted seeds of doubt in their minds. At the upcoming shareholders’ meeting, someone suggested removing the CEO. But others said that would be difficult to pull off.

Then Yu Tae-young showed up out of nowhere. He said he would explain everything to them. Back at the office, Da-rim’s team members got worried. They tried to find her, but she wasn’t answering calls. They felt frustrated and helpless. Nobody knew where she went.

The situation reached its breaking point eventually. Gong Ji-hyeok and Go Da-rim broke up. Da-rim told him her life would’ve been quiet if she had never gotten involved with him. She ended the relationship right there. After leaving him, she collapsed and cried.

The next morning, Da-rim confessed everything to her mother. She told her the whole truth. Jeong Myeong-sun was shocked by what she heard. Da-rim tried to comfort her mom. She said she’ll find a job right away. But Jeong Myeong-sun had a different plan.

She suggested selling their house. They could use that money to pay off the debt. Da-rim disagreed with the idea. But her mother felt terrible. She said she didn’t know her daughter was living in hell.

She apologized over and over. Then she said they should settle everything first. They need to catch their breath. Da-rim couldn’t hold it in anymore. She burst into tears.

Gong Ji-hyeok tried to focus on work afterward. But he kept thinking about Da-rim. Go Da-rim left her house and thought about him too. Both of them were struggling with the separation.

The episode ended on this painful note. The spy scandal tore apart their relationship. Now both characters face uncertain futures. The love story that started with a marriage proposal ended in heartbreak. Fans will have to wait and see if they can overcome this crisis.
