KBS 2TV’s weekend drama Love on the Menu is gaining strong attention after passing the 13 percent viewership mark in just two episodes.
The first two episodes, which aired on July 25 and 26, introduced the complicated relationships surrounding the Han siblings and their parents’ generation. Episode 2 recorded a nationwide rating of 13.8 percent, rising by 1.8 percentage points from the premiere.
New stills from episodes 3 and 4 show Kim Moo Jin, played by Ha Seok Jin, and Han Gyu Rim, played by Ahn Hee Yeon, enjoying their first happy moments as a couple.
After Gyu Rim repeatedly pushed Moo Jin away because of the challenges surrounding their relationship, his sincere and steady feelings finally changed her mind. The two confirmed their feelings for each other, raising expectations for their first love story.
However, their peaceful romance may not last long. Moo Jin is shown alone with a serious expression, suggesting that he is hiding an important truth from Gyu Rim. The secret could create a major problem between them as their relationship grows deeper.
Another still shows Gyu Rim meeting Moo Jin’s older sister, Kim Yoon Jin, played by Miram. During their tense conversation, Gyu Rim hands her a recorder, raising questions about what is inside and why she decided to share it.
With ratings already reaching 13.8 percent after only two episodes, viewers are now watching closely to see whether Love on the Menu can continue its early rise while introducing new challenges for its main couple.
