Netflix’s Dynamite Kiss started like any other new title on the platform, but it did not take long for the show’s mix of messy relationships and easy-to-watch drama, balanced with sharp twists, to get people hooked. Each episode of the Korean offering ends in a way that makes viewers want to let the next one roll without a second thought, and now the story is heading into a point where things finally look ready to explode.

With the plot heating up and the characters’ choices becoming harder to predict, the natural question now is when episode 9 will drop, and whether viewers in the United States will get to watch it too.

There is good news on both fronts. The next episode’s schedule is locked in, and the update on its United States release is just as promising.

New episodes of Dynamite Kiss air on SBS in South Korea every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:00 PM KST. A short while after its television release, each new episode becomes available on Netflix, its streaming partner, so viewers catching the show on portable screens get to watch it on the same day as well.

The season will span 14 episodes in total, and Episodes 9 and 10 will air this week following the same schedules as the previous debuts. The show, for those learning about it only now, follows Go Da-rim, a woman who pretends to be married to land a job, and her boss Gong Ji-hyeok, whose feelings for her spiral into complicated territory after a mistaken kiss.

The leads, Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin, anchor what is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about K-dramas of the year. The supporting cast includes Kim Mu-jun, Woo Da-vi, Jung Ga-hee, Park Jin-woo, and more.

K-dramas have long been popular outside Korea, and Dynamite Kiss is no exception, with the show ranking well internationally. The United States is known as one of the first countries to have embraced Korean pop culture when it first began expanding globally; hence, this show has also found a strong following in the States, with viewers watching with great enthusiasm.

Therefore, it is important for the stateside audience to know when exactly episode 9 of the show will become available for them.

For United States viewers, 9:00 PM KST translates to 7:00 AM EST and 4:00 AM PT, meaning it will become available on Netflix no later than early morning. The early-morning release schedule gives viewers a chance to start the day with a healthy dose of serotonin that watching a lighthearted show brings.

Having the show available on Netflix also offers the flexibility of watching it at a later hour. However, the delay does not seem like an appealing option following the cliff-hanger of the last episode.

So, as Dynamite Kiss episode 9 lands and the story moves into its most chaotic stretch yet, the show shows no signs of slowing down. The momentum it has built, both in Korea and overseas, only adds to the excitement of what lies ahead. Whether it officially claims the title of the year’s most talked-about K-drama, it is clearly on track to become one of Netflix’s most beloved Korean offerings. For now, all that is left is to hit play and see where the next twist takes Da-rim and Ji-hyuk.
