The playful, steamy atmosphere was already noticeable at the entrance, and it had me excited before the show even began. ![Atmosphere around the entrance to Nine Theater](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-02-g8xrl-900.webp) This play is the sequel—and official Season 2—of the popular , which received lots of love in its previous season. ![Official Season 2 information for Suspicious PT Shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-03-rsgrv-900.webp) Set in the same “Suspicious” universe as the previous work, it moves the setting from a hair salon to the familiar yet secretive space of a PT shop, or personal-training gym, for an even more expanded story. ![Introduction to the setting of Suspicious PT Shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-04-y7tf5-900.webp) The bizarre incidents unfolding in this everyday setting flowed together so smoothly that it was seriously immersive. ![A scene related to the PT-shop setting of the play](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-05-hiifx-900.webp) ![Exercise-equipment photo zone in front of the theater](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-06-1bc20-900.webp) The photo zone in front of the theater even had cute exercise equipment set up, so it looked perfect for taking pictures! ## A steamy PT-shop world and the actors’ movement True to its ages-19-and-over rating, the level of heat and the staging were both very bold and polished. It perfectly blends the relatable modern concerns of exercise and self-care with a precarious romantic front line between men and women, plus an intriguing tension. ![The atmosphere of a play about exercise and self-care](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-07-xn8qh-1200.webp) It goes beyond jokes traded in dialogue alone: the actors’ appealing physiques, vivid movement, and solid physical acting had laughter bursting out scene after scene. ![The play enhanced by the actors’ physical performances](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-08-1y87a-900.webp) ![The cheerful atmosphere of the romantic comedy play](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-09-rycf4-900.webp) ## Comfortable for all 90 minutes Daehangno theaters can sometimes have hard, uncomfortable chairs, but the seats at Nine Theater were so soft and comfortable that I never felt uncomfortable throughout the show~ ![Plush audience seats at Nine Theater](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-10-1frc4-900.webp) Cheers and roaring laughter broke out throughout the audience whenever the bold, frank lines came flying, and I was so absorbed that I had no idea where those 90 minutes went. ![An immersive 90-minute performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-11-nt4b1-900.webp) The spot-on humor and stimulation it offers to anyone tired of predictable romantic comedies, or couples needing a change of pace together, really stood out. ![A romantic comedy play suited to a couples’ change of pace](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-12-p9idr-900.webp) ![Introduction to the Daehangno production Suspicious PT Shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom/hyehwa-ptshop-ninety-minute-romcom-13-1xq1h-900.webp) ## An adults-only rom-com that connects with its audience is a recommended Daehangno play with cheerful laughs, refreshing-to-watch passionate performances from the cast, and a distinctive adults-only storyline.
