On the set of "High Kick 3"

"My heart is racing," Ahn Nae-sang said as he hugged Yoon Kye-sang from the back. So does this mean that these two will be in a romantic relationship that is central to MBC's "High Kick 3"? Laughter rippled throughout the somewhat tensed-up set of "High Kick 3" on August 31, the first day of shoot for the sitcom. But different from what we had imagined, the two were merely 'the breadwinner who after his business fails one day, is living off of his wife's younger brother with his entire family' and 'a brother-in-law who is in no way gentle yet embraces his penniless sister's family with his philanthropic disposition.' Of course, it will be worth looking forward to the Tom and Jerry, no, Dumb and Dumber, no crocodile and crocodile bird-like symbiotic relationship of Ahn Nae-sang who has nothing yet cannot let go of his pride and Yoon Kye-sang who hides his mule-like stubbornness behind his warm smile, a relationship actors Oh Ji-myung and Park Young-kyu portrayed in producer Kim Byung-wook's 1998 sitcom "Soonpoong Clinic."

Ko Young-wook and Kim Ji-won came to the set as well, saying hello to the staff and then watching rehearsals although they did not have any scenes that day and Krystal, playing Ahn Nae-sang's daughter Soo-jung, was busy teaching Seo Ji-suk, playing her uncle Ji-suk, how to fluently pronounce her line "Shut up." Will the counterattack of this suspicious family, similar yet different to that from MBC's "High Kick 1" and "High Kick 2," be able to make us laugh and weep 120 evenings?
