Bae Jung-nam's quirky look-alike confession in 'Love on the Menu'

A new video capturing the dialogue between characters in the drama 'Love on the Menu' has been released. Posted on the official KBS Drama channel, the clip depicts a conversation among the characters regarding why Bae Jung-nam's character is being stared at so intently by Jin Kyung's characters.

"Because they look so much alike": Why Bae Jung-nam was being stared at

In the video, Bae questions why the characters on Jin Kyung's side have been staring fixedly at his face since they entered. In response, one of the characters apologizes, explaining they couldn't help but stare because he looks remarkably like someone they know. Various comparisons emerge as they discuss his resemblance to others. One character mentions he looks like Seo Hae-sook, a teacher they had a crush on while living in Pohang, even questioning if he actually lived there. The conversation continues with remarks about feeling a sense of familiarity because he resembles the mother of Shin Jun-young, a friend who used to run a yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) restaurant.

Ambition for collaboration and character dynamics

The dialogue shifts toward the characters' relationships and their plans for future collaboration. Bae expresses a fierce ambition to completely crush a competing brand that bothers him so much he can't sleep at night, asking if such a feat is possible through this collaboration. The writer expresses an intention to try, followed by a joking retort asking if they are simply claiming everything is possible without knowing the reality. Subsequent dialogue touches upon the characters' personal lives. When Bae asks about marital status, the other party reveals they are single. Furthermore, when a character referred to as the Chairman suggests meeting his daughter, the response regarding the need to maintain a distinction between public and private matters—along with a mention of being rejected before even being able to confess—illustrates the complex dynamics between the characters.

Meanwhile, 'Love on the Menu' is described as a family recipe drama that tells the story of a man and a woman who gather the broken fragments of a family to prepare the warmest meal in the world. The video can be viewed on the KBS Drama channel.
