Overview

High Kick is a South Korean situation comedy that centers on the daily lives of the Lee family residing in Seoul. The series aired in a sitcom format from Monday to Friday. The title of the program refers to several implications, including the frequent high kicks performed by one of the main characters named Yoon-ho. Due to the popularity of the show during its original broadcast, the production team filmed more episodes than were initially planned. The success of the series extended beyond the television screen, as many of the featured characters went on to star in various commercials and advertisements throughout Korea. The widespread appeal of the show also led to the production of a subsequent series titled High Kick Through the Roof. As a staple of South Korean television, the program remains a notable example of the sitcom genre from the period.
