Ha Seok-jin's character faces emotional clash with Lee Ju-yeon

A new video has been released capturing the deepening conflict between characters Kim Mu-jin (played by Ha Seok-jin) and Lee Ju-yeon from the KBS drama 'Love on the Menu.' The footage highlights the confrontation among characters surrounding Han Gyu-rim, Kim Mu-jin's past connection, and the emotional clashes that emerge in the process.

Kim Mu-jin's devotion and Lee Ju-yeon's cynical reaction

In the released clip, Kim Mu-jin reveals his past relationship by discussing his feelings for Han Gyu-rim. According to the video's transcript, Kim emphasizes his unwavering devotion, stating that he has not forgotten Han Gyu-rim for 8 years and has never been swayed by anyone else. In response, Lee reacts cynically, questioning whether Kim has only been providing a 'shell' to his partner due to a sense of responsibility and guilt. Lee further criticizes Kim's attitude, adding that even if he did his best, he should end the relationship cleanly if he intends to move on.

Family secrets and emotional confrontations

The video also reveals secrets regarding Kim's family ties and the resulting anger from those involved. The dialogue reveals that Kim is not the Chairman's son and that the Madam is the mother who gave birth to Han Gyu-rim. Upon learning these facts, the characters express resentment and anger at being deceived. In particular, Lee shows strong rejection toward Kim's attitude, displaying complex emotions as she seemingly wishes for him to either reverse his decision to go to Han Gyu-rim or stay by her side.

Kim Mu-jin's apology and escalating tension

Amidst the escalating tension, Kim expresses his apologies to SeoYeon and states that he will accept punishment for the hardships he has caused. In the final part of the video, the line "I won't give it to Han Gyu-rim" is repeated, showing that the possessiveness and emotional confrontations surrounding Kim remain unresolved. The drama is described as a 'family recipe drama' that depicts the process of gathering the broken fragments of a family to build a warm life.
