"I don't have a mother" Ahn Hee-yeon's firm severance, the conflict Park Yoo-na faces
A video from the KBS Drama 'Love on the Menu' depicts the long-standing family conflicts and moments of disconnection experienced by the characters, specifically highlighting the emotional divide between Ahn Hee-yeon and Park Yoo-na regarding their mother.

The long-standing family conflicts and moments of disconnection experienced by the characters in the drama were depicted. In a video from the KBS Drama 'Love on the Menu', the character played by Ahn Hee-yeon reveals complex emotions entangled with her mother from the past, followed by a conversation with Park Yoo-na who watches this unfold.
Appearance after 17 years and firm refusal
In the released video, Ahn Hee-yeon maintains a cold and firm attitude toward the person who comes to find her. According to the preceding content of the video, Ahn Hee-yeon responds to the person who approaches and speaks to her by saying, "I don't have a mother," making it clear that her relationship with her mother from the past has already been severed. In particular, mentioning the appearance of a mother who had not appeared for a long time of 17 years, she shows herself drawing a line by telling the person revealing past wounds to "talk to your siblings."

In this process, Ahn Hee-yeon shows an attitude of distancing herself by calling the other person 'ajumma' (middle-aged woman). This is read as a point that goes beyond simple conflict, showing her will to completely deny past family relationships and sever ties.
The weight of the name 'Mother' faced by Park Yoo-na
Park Yoo-na's appearance while watching Ahn Hee-yeon's firm attitude shows the different perspectives on family felt by the characters in the play. In the video, Park Yoo-na encounters a situation related to the mother from the past and repeatedly says, "But she is still Mom." This appears to be a statement symbolizing the irresistible emotions inherent in blood relations and the connection of family that is difficult to break.

While Ahn Hee-yeon shows an attitude of 'severing ties' to firmly cut off past connections, Park Yoo-na creates an emotional contrast between the characters by mentioning the weight of the existence called 'mother' that exists nonetheless. Through the actions of a person who appeared wearing sunglasses and handed over a lunch box before leaving, and the conversation of the characters watching this, the video shows how the fragments of a broken family intervene in present life.
The drama 'Love on the Menu' is known as a family recipe drama that deals with the process of gathering the fragments of a broken family to prepare a warm life. This video is interpreted as a scene that foreshadows the meaning of family that the drama aims for through the disconnection and reunion between family members experienced by the characters.
