Kang Ae-sim's lottery win: The twist from Ryu Seung-soo's dragon dream

A new video from the KBS drama 'Love on the Menu' captures the unexpected situation Kang Ae-sim faces after winning the lottery with a ticket provided by Ryu Seung-soo. The clip was posted on the official KBS Drama channel on September 19, 2026.

A dragon dream leads to a lottery win and Kang Ae-sim's reaction

In the video, Kang Ae-sim expresses pure astonishment upon confirming her lottery win. According to the video's subtitles and audio transcription, she reacts with a mix of bewilderment and joy, exclaiming, "Is this a dream or reality?" She cannot hide her surprise, noting that she has never seen anyone actually win the lottery before. The win is traced back to a dragon dream experienced by Gyeol-i's grandfather. According to the footage, the grandfather dreamed of a dragon ascending to heaven and purchased two lottery tickets; he gave one to Kang Ae-sim, which resulted in the winning ticket.

Post-win developments and family dynamics

As news of the win spreads, Kang Ae-sim shows interest in the practical implications, such as requesting to remain in her current home using the winnings. The video depicts the family's various responses to the news. In one scene, as characters scramble to inform their mother, one individual attempts to manage the situation by advising others to keep quiet and stay home. This individual attempts to settle the tension by suggesting they watch a TV drama or borrow a comic book, saying, "Wash your feet and just read a comic book, then I'll give it to you quite soon."

'Love on the Menu' is described as a "family recipe drama" that follows a man and a woman as they piece together broken family fragments to build a warm life. This clip highlights the sudden family dynamics triggered by Kang Ae-sim's unexpected stroke of luck.
