Lee Yoon Ho, an avid motorcycle enthusiast known for his impressive high kicks and frequent brawls at school, and his brother Lee Min Ho, who spends his time on scale models and blogging, are siblings born just a year apart but sharing the same classroom. These two characters represent starkly contrasting portrayals of Korean teenagers in a humorous light. Additionally, there's their family to consider. Their father, a full-time stock trader since losing his job, remains optimistic yet somewhat reckless; their mother, an acupuncturist, exudes an excessive amount of confidence; their grandfather has an insatiable love for money; and their grandmother often finds herself outmatched by her daughter-in-law in their ongoing disputes. Their uncle, Lee Min Yong, is a 27-year-old single father who, after experiencing a rushed marriage and a swift divorce, is reveling in the dating world while navigating complex emotions with his ex-wife, Shin Ji. "Smooth High Kick!" is a situational comedy that humorously depicts the interactions of the main characters as their lives intersect. Nevertheless, as the story unfolds, the unexpected secrets of their seemingly ordinary acquaintances begin to emerge one by one.
