So, in celebration of KOCOWA’s 5th anniversary, we are releasing 5 exclusive titles. Pay attention, and don’t miss your chance to watch these only on KOCOWA!

“High Kick”

This was once a megahit daily sitcom that everyone watched in Korea. “High Kick” aired back in 2006, but it is still loved now. This series kind of reminds me of the American sitcom “Modern Family”, where it portrays the lives of three generations living under the same roof.

Cast: Lee Soon Jae, Na Moon Hee, Park Hae Mi, Jeong Jun Ha, Kim Hye Seong, Jung Il Woo, Choi Min Young, Shin Ji, Seo Min Jung, Kim Beom, Park Min Young, Chan Seong, Jeong Shin Woo

Story: Three generations live together on the fourth floor of the Lee Soon Jae Women’s Oriental Medical Clinic building. The first generation is Soon Jae and his wife, Moon Hee, the second is Jun Ha and his wife, Hae Mi, and Min Ho and Yun Ho, the sons of Jun Ha and Hae Mi, are the third generation. Soon Jae’s second son, Min Yong, who lives in the loft after divorcing his wife and losing their apartment to her, completes the household. 

Min Yong is also a gym teacher at the high school that Min Ho and Yun Ho attend. Their homeroom teacher, Min Jung, who teaches English, falls in love with Min Yong. Yu Mi, Seung Hyun, and Beom are friends of Min Ho and Yun Ho. Yu Mi is the girl next door, and her beauty makes Min Ho smitten at first sight. The relationships tangled over the three generations, and their everyday lives full of ups and downs, make up this story full of fumbling characters. Check out how the story will end.

She is asked to prepare a birthday meal for her mother-in-law and constantly struggles with what to get as birthday presents for her in-laws. 

On the other hand, Gu Young’s older brother, Gu Il, and his wife, Hye Rin, have no problem saying what’s on their minds to their in-laws. Can ordinary daughter-in-law Min Sa Rin persevere in the complicated world of in-laws?

“Tracer”

With her ability to act and with her intuition, Hye Young creates a good partnership with Dong Ju.
