High Kick Season 2 coming in September


The young cast of “Unstoppable High Kick” Season 1

Hmm….. When it was announced that the popular family sitcom Unstoppable High Kick was thinking of another season, I was skeptical that it would actually happen, if only because a great part of its charm was its hot young cast of new faces, and they’ve all gone on to bigger things. They include: Jung Il-woo (Return of Iljimae), Kim Bum (Boys Before Flowers), Kim Hye-sung (Boy Meets Boy), and Park Min-young (Ja Myung Go).

And yet, production is indeed under way for a second season, and will bring back gruff grandpa Lee Soon-jae — but switch the rest of the actors. Among them are Jung Bo-seok (La Dolce Vita, Dae Jo Young) in the dad’s role (acted in the original by comedian Jung Jun–ha) and Oh Hyun-kyung (First Wives Club) in the mom’s role (originally acted by musical actress Park Hae-mi). Grandma Na Mun-hee will not return, and the season will start fresh with new storylines. The series is currently auditioning for its new set of fresh faces.

Season 2 is not yet on MBC’s official fall schedule, but it looks like a promising follow-up to the currently airing sitcom Tae-hee, Hye-gyo, Ji-hyun.

I don’t know about this. I have a lot of affection for Unstoppable High Kick, but without any of my favorite characters returning, it seems like just a weak excuse to slap a successful name onto a new sitcom, doesn’t it?

    i loved the adorable cast in season 1. i really don’t want them to ruin the good name of high kick with different people because the original was and always will be the best

  6. so…Jung Il Woo won’t return ?

    OMG Parl Hae Mi & Na Mun Hee !!!!!! They were my favourite characters!
    At least this sequel will get the HD treatment.

    But seriously ?! why make a sequel if it’ll have fresh storyline and none of the old and funniest characters will be back?

    MBC America should seriously release this on DVD, it’s been 2 years and I’m still mad over this issue

  12. I seriously loved High Kick, but what’s the point of having the rest of the cast replaced and only have the grandpa? I want the old cast, but I guess I’ll just have to try to like the new one (if I do watch it, that is).

  13. hey, maybe the new season will have wittier cast? it seems like a launchpad for young actors.

    but i haven’t seen first season, so i’m just optimistic. :)
