Synopsis
Lee Yoon Ho (Jung Il Woo), a motorcycle mania who engages in many fights at
school and is known for his high kick, and Lee Min Ho(Kim Hye Sung), who enjoys
spending time on scale models and web blogs, are brothers born a year apart but
attending the same class at school. These two portray completely opposite
Korean teenage characters in a comical way. And of course, there’s the rest of
the family. Their father (Jung Joon Ha), a full-time stock investor since being
laid-off from work, nevertheless optimistic and reckless; their mother (Park
Hae Mi), an oriental medicine doctor and always overly confident; their
grandfather (Lee Soon Jae), who loves money more than anything in the world;
their grandmother (Na Moon Hee), who is always defeated by her daughter-in-law
in ongoing status quarrels, are some of them. Their uncle Lee Min Yong (Choi
Min Yong) is a 27-year-old single dad. After going through a premature marriage
and early divorce, he enjoys his life back in the dating scene with his
half-single and half-married status, while continuing to encounter
emotionally-involved moments with his ex-wife Shin Ji (Shin Ji) at times.
Smooth High Kick! is a situation comedy, which portrays the everyday lives of
the main characters colliding with each other in a comical way. However, at a
certain point, the surprising mysteries of their seemingly-normal surrounding
characters begin to unravel one by one. Source
