Actor Ahn Heeyeon (Hanni) has firmly established herself as an actor by delivering increasingly powerful emotional acting through Love On The Menu.
Ahn Heeyeon appears in the KBS 2TV weekend drama Love On The Menu (directed by Hong Seok-gu / written by Lee Kyung-hee / produced by Monster Union, Contents Z), a family recipe drama about two men and women who gather the fragments of a broken family and prepare the warmest life table in the world. In the drama, Ahn Heeyeon plays Han Gyurim, who hides deep fatigue within a solid interior after living life fiercely, and she is meeting viewers in that role.
In the 9th and 10th episodes broadcast on July 22 and 23, the truth surrounding the breakup with Kim Mujin (played by Ha Seok-jin) was revealed one by one, and Ahn Heeyeon's emotional acting exploded. Gyurim, drunk, confessed that she missed Kim Mujin after failing to recognize Mujin, and when she faced Mujin again, she burst into tears she had been holding back, evoking sorrow.
Ahn Heeyeon portrayed Han Gyurim perfectly, from the bright, spirited everyday moments to the moments when she expressed the love and longing she had deeply avoided, with flawless control of pacing. Her relaxed, natural everyday acting, combined with sincere eyes and expressions, moved viewers' hearts.
Meanwhile, Love On The Menu continues its steep rise. The 10th episode recorded a nationwide rating of 16.8% according to Nielsen Korea, setting a new personal-best rating and ranking first in weekend viewership overall.

Ahn Heeyeon, who anchors the drama by moving from a bright, resilient presence to deep emotional lines, raises even more curiosity about the future arc of Han Gyurim she will present.
