Unstoppable High Kick

Get out of line and you’ll get a swift high kick or a slap to the head! The Lee family in Seoul is ruled by the dictatorial patriarch Lee Soon Jae (Lee Soon Jae), who runs a traditional Korean medicine hospital with his daughter-in-law, Park Hae Mi (Park Hae Mi). Hae Mi is the main doctor at the hospital and much more popular than her father-in-law. She is married to Lee Joon Ha (Jeong Jun Ha), who was recently laid off from his job and now just lies around the house overeating and making bad investments. Joon Ha and Hae Mi have two sons, Lee Min Ho (Kim Hye Seong) and Lee Yoon Ho (Jung Il Woo). Joon Ha gets his voracious appetite from his mother, Na Moon Hee (Na Moon Hee), who often is insulted by Soon Jae and Hae Mi and daydreams about bad luck befalling them. Joon Ha’s younger brother, Lee Min Yong (Choi Min Yong), is a PE teacher who recently moved back home after a failed marriage. Can the extended Lee family survive under one roof? “High Kick!” is a 2006 South Korean drama series created and directed by Kim Byeong Wook.
