Jin Se Yun began to open her heart after encountering an unexpected side of So E-hyun.
On the 7th, the 3rd episode of KBS 2TV weekend drama Recipe For Love (directed by Han Jun-seo, written by Park Ji-sook) featured the office reunion of Gong Ju-a (played by Jin Se Yun) and Yang Hyun-bin (played by So E-hyun), along with a sharp confrontation between the two families of Gong Jeong-han (played by Kim Seung-soo) and Yang Dong-ik (played by Kim Hyeong-mook), who ran as candidates for the merchant association president. The episode recorded a 16.2% rating (Nielsen Korea, nationwide households), ranking first among all Saturday broadcasts and delivering a gripping development that provided viewers with thrilling entertainment.
In yesterday's episode, Gong Ju-a fell into despair when she encountered Yang Hyun-bin, who had been appointed as the new chief director of the fashion division. Summoned immediately to the office, Gong Ju-a denied the previous incident and played innocent, but when Yang Hyun-bin proceeded to recount even the night they had spent together, she lost her temper, prompting laughter from viewers.
Meanwhile, Yang Hyun-bin revealed an unusual affection for Gong Ju-a. He investigated the circumstances behind Gong Ju-a's home shopping exposure accident from behind the scenes and confessed to executive vice president Hwang Bo-hye-su (played by Kang Byeol) that Gong Ju-a was his first love. However, Gong Ju-a herself could not recognize Yang Hyun-bin and suffered nightmares in which she was exacted revenge upon by him.
On the other hand, the home atmospheres of the families of Gong Jeong-han and Yang Dong-ik, who ran as candidates for merchant association president, diverged sharply. Cha Se-ri (played by So Yi-hyun) rallied wholeheartedly for her husband Yang Dong-ik, while Han Seong-mi (played by Yoo Ho-jeong) was furious that her husband Gong Jeong-han's candidacy might become an obstacle to her career. But Han Seong-mi's pride was wounded by Cha Se-ri's provocation, and she eventually changed her stance, urging Gong Jeong-han to win at all costs, heralding the start of a full-scale confrontation between the two couples.
Meanwhile, Yang Hyun-bin's behavior in reality was the exact opposite of Gong Ju-a's worries. He emerged as a reliable supporter of the design team, requesting everything from a review of the critique meeting system to an increase in the budget for the design team. Gong Ju-a also responded with a smile to his thoughtfulness and sincere attitude toward work, gradually opening her heart and sparking feelings of excitement.
But an unexpected variable occurred in an unforeseen place. Cha Se-ri, who came to Seoul to find a studio for her son Yang Hyun-bin, witnessed Han Seong-mi with Director Song (played by Jung Uk). Smiling triumphantly, Cha Se-ri took a photo and, as public opinion shifted in Gong Jeong-han's favor, she circulated the photo on online communities. Faced with criticism and swiftly engulfed in suspicions of an affair, Han Seong-mi suspected Cha Se-ri as the mastermind behind it.
At that time, Gong Ju-a brought up the story of young Yang Hyun-bin, who liked her in the past, in front of Yang Hyun-bin. Especially her line "If it's first love, that's a big problem. We're enemies" hinted at the harsh fate that the sons and daughters of generations-long enemies would face, piquing interest.
Toward the end of the broadcast, Han Seong-mi, in a do-or-die mood, grabbed Cha Se-ri. When Han Seong-mi pressed Cha Se-ri about distributing the photo, Cha Se-ri brazenly asked if she had evidence, and a fierce scuffle even broke out during the attempt to seize a cell phone, creating a chaotic ending that made viewers look forward to today's 4th episode broadcast.
