“I Think I Raised You Wrong”: Kwon Hae-hyo Rebukes Lee Joo-yeon as Family Conflict Deepens

The intertwined conflicts among the characters of the KBS drama Love on the Menu are rapidly approaching a peak. The tension is not driven by a single confrontation: past incidents and present-day relationships overlap, pushing the characters into collisions that take different forms.

Recently released highlight videos for Episode 18 on the official KBS Drama channel show those disputes intensifying. Through sharp exchanges, revelations about the past and divisions within the family, the videos raise the dramatic stakes surrounding the characters.

Bae Yoon-gyu and Park Yu-na Clash Over a Hangover Meal as Gyu-oh’s Past Emerges

According to a highlight from the 260919 broadcast, Bae Yoon-gyu and Park Yu-na continue trading barbed remarks even while eating together to recover from a hangover. What might have been a quiet meal instead becomes another setting for their unresolved conflict.

In the video, Bae Yoon-gyu and Park Yu-na blame each other for what happened the previous night. Their frustration surfaces in harsh language, including the demand, “If you’re going to leave, then hurry up and go,” making clear how strained their relationship has become.

Bae Yoon-gyu is especially dissatisfied with a situation in which the family members have aligned themselves together. His resentment over that family dynamic places him directly at odds with Park Yu-na and gives their argument a wider emotional context.

The preview for Episode 18 then hints at startling circumstances connected to Han Gyu-oh’s past. After hearing about Han Gyu-oh’s situation from Kim Min-seo, Ha Seok-jin decides that he will help him.

According to the dialogue and captions in the video, Han Gyu-oh was formerly a police officer. He is portrayed as having faced difficulties because of medical expenses connected to someone he had injured, revealing how a past incident continues to affect his present circumstances.

Kim Min-seo explains that Han Gyu-oh is now in trouble after being deceived by fraudsters. She also expresses concern that he could become the subject of a complaint to the police, showing how serious and precarious the situation has become.

The video additionally mentions people who left for a trip to Hawaii using Han Gyu-oh’s money. That detail provides another clue to the conflict and helps expose how the various problems surrounding him may be connected.

Ha Seok-jin Offers Help as Kwon Hae-hyo Delivers a Painful Rebuke

The relationships among the characters enter a new phase when Ha Seok-jin becomes involved. Speaking to Kim Min-seo, he says, “Please just think of me as an older brother, as family, and tell me what happened,” inviting her to confide in him without treating him as an outsider.

His words are followed by a willingness to take action. Rather than merely listening to Han Gyu-oh’s difficulties, Ha Seok-jin moves personally to address the problem, placing his intervention at the center of the drama’s unfolding events.

Meanwhile, the family’s moral conflict reaches a particularly intense point through the father character played by Kwon Hae-hyo. In an Episode 18 highlight, he confronts his daughter, Lee Joo-yeon, with the severe words, “I think I raised you wrong.”

The rebuke can be understood as the father’s response to Lee Joo-yeon’s hostility toward Han Gyu-rim and the emotional outburst caused by that hostility. His words do more than stop an argument: they directly challenge his daughter’s conduct and the attitude behind it.

Lee Joo-yeon reacts heatedly, saying, “I wish someone like Han Gyu-rim would disappear from the world.” Faced with that statement, her father takes a stern position on her character and behavior. Their confrontation exposes a deep difference in values within the family, turning personal anger into a broader conflict between parent and child.

A “Family Recipe” for Gathering the Pieces of a Broken Family

Love on the Menu tells the story of a man and a woman who gather the scattered pieces of a broken family and prepare a warmer life from them. That central premise places family wounds, reconciliation and the work of rebuilding relationships at the heart of the drama.

The newly released videos show in specific dialogue and situations how each character’s wounds and past mistakes are shaking their current family relationships. The arguments are therefore tied not only to immediate anger, but also to unresolved experiences that continue to shape how the characters treat one another.

Starring Ha Seok-jin, Ahn Hee-yeon, Park Yu-na and Bae Jung-nam, the drama is expected to revisit the meaning of family through the process of resolving the conflicts faced by its characters. As those conflicts move toward their peak, the question is how the divided relationships can be brought back together.
