Love On The Menu is filling living rooms with excitement by showcasing the romantic chemistry of couples with distinct charms across generations alongside the protagonists' poignant narratives.
KBS 2TV weekend drama Love On The Menu (director Hong Seok-gu, writer Lee Kyung-hee) has captured viewers' attention by portraying a variety of relationships, from the fresh reunions of young people to unexpected connections in middle age. Accordingly, interest is growing in the chemistry and relationships of the three couples that blossom within each different story.
▲Kwon Hae-hyo X Yoon Yuseon, a shadow of crisis looming over the unicorn couple
Jang Hoon-tae (played by Kwon Hae-hyo) and Go Yun-hee (played by Yoon Yuseon) have won viewers' approval by showing a model image of a remarried couple. Jang Hoon-tae belatedly confessed that he had secretly attended the marriage meeting of her daughter Han Gyu-young (played by Park Gyu-young). To the apologetic Go Yun-hee, Jang Hoon-tae warmly comforted her, saying, "If she's your child, she's basically my child, too."
Later, as they bickered over who would stay by their daughter Jang Seo-hyun's (played by Lee Ju-yeon) hospital bedside, their strong trust and affection for each other were fully revealed. In this way, the two, who stand by each other, have become known to viewers as a 'want-to-be couple.'
But an unexpected change came to their peaceful daily life. Go Yun-hee realized that Kim Moo-jin's (played by Ha Seok-jin) ex-girlfriend is her biological daughter Han Gyu-rim. Viewers are paying attention to what choice Go Yun-hee will make when facing the complicated entangled relationships and what ripple effects will hit the previously peaceful couple.
▲Ryu Seung-soo X Jin Kyung, a reversal romance sprouting from the worst
Han Seok-jung (played by Ryu Seung-soo) and Hong Ok-seon (played by Jin Kyung) had an unusual first meeting. At the noodle shop, Han Seok-jung, who suggested sitting together with Hong Ok-seon, offended her by unceremoniously mixing rice into her knife-cut noodles. Eventually, unable to hold back, Hong Ok-seon exploded in anger, leaving them with the worst first meeting.
Their connection, which seemed unlikely to cross again, took an unexpected turn. When Hong Ok-seon got into trouble after being involved in an altercation, Han Seok-jung appeared and delivered a satisfying rebuke to the other party, saving her.
Afterward, a subtle change was detected in the way Hong Ok-seon looked at Han Seok-jung, and a strange current began to arise between them. Questions grow as to whether the relationship that began with the worst first meeting can lead to a reversal romance.
▲Bae Yoon-gyu X Jung Bo-min, a thrilling flutter that returned after eight years
Han Gyu-o (played by Bae Yoon-gyu) and Kwon Hee-na (played by Jung Bo-min) have been entwined by chance many times since the past. Beginning with the time he picked up a phone that had fallen from a rooftop railing, Han Gyu-o was the person who appeared and protected Kwon Hee-na whenever she was in a difficult situation.
In Han Gyu-o's casual-sounding consolation, saying "I forget things quickly," it seemed as if fresh feelings were beginning to blossom between the two.
But eight years had already passed. Living like a swindler, Han Gyu-o and Kwon Hee-na, who became an elementary school teacher, led completely different lives when they met again.
Han Gyu-o pretended to know Kwon Hee-na, saying, "You know me, right?" but Kwon Hee-na played coy and treated him as if she did not know him until the end. Expectations are rising over what excitement and changes the reunion that began like chance will bring in the future.
In this way, Love On The Menu captivates viewers' hearts with diverse romances and relationships spanning from middle age to youth.
