“In spite of the busy schedule, thanks to the warm atmosphere on set, I’m enjoying every moment of filming,” said Hani. “I”m also learning a lot while working together [with the cast and crew].”

When the cameras aren’t rolling, Park You Na brightens the set with her cheerful real-life personality, which is the polar opposite of her frosty character Han Gyu Young.

On working together with co-star Kwon Hae Hyo, Park You Na remarked, “He always eases my nerves by making fun jokes, and he is also generous with his acting advice, so I’m truly grateful to him.”

Watch: Ha Seok Jin, Hani, And More Discover Love Through Different Journeys In New Drama “Love On The Menu” Teaser

“Love on the Menu” has unveiled a new teaser!

“Love on the Menu” is a family romance drama that follows Kim Moo Jin (Ha Seok Jin) and Han Gyu Rim (Hani), two former lovers who reunite eight years after a painful breakup. As they reconnect, they piece together the fragments of their broken families and create the warmest table of life together.

The newly released teaser offers a glimpse into the intertwined relationships at the center of the story, capturing a condensed array of romantic storylines ranging from fated love to a contentious relationship filled with bickering.

Kim Moo Jin and Han Gyu Rim tease the romance that seems destined to blossom between them, as their lingering gazes continue after Kim Moo Jin expresses his feelings, asking, “Are we really just an ordinary connection?”

The teaser introduces other relationships that bring different dynamics to the story. Jo Heung Sik (Bae Jung Nam) taps on the bus window toward Han Gyu Young (Park You Na), who is seated in the priority seating area, telling her to give up her seat for an elderly passenger. She closes her eyes, pretending not to hear him, creating a humorous rivalry from the start.

In addition, the conversation between Han Seok Joong (Ryu Seung Soo) and Hong Ok Sun (Jin Kyung), who bicker over which of them is older, foreshadows an unexpected encounter between the two.

The teaser also highlights the steadfast side of Han Gyu Oh (Bae Yoon Gyu), who takes the hand of Kwon Hee Na (Jung Bo Min), who is crouched down in a difficult situation, and leads her forward, saying, “Just keep looking straight ahead and keep going.” Their subtle emotional dynamic is further revealed through Kwon Hee Na’s drunken question, “Are you worried about me right now?”

Ha Seok Jin, Jin Kyung, And Mi Ram Are A Fractured Family Hoping To Heal Old Wounds In “Love On The Menu”

“Love on the Menu” has unveiled new stills of Ha Seok Jin’s character’s family!

Ha Seok Jin stars as Kim Moo Jin, the only son of a wealthy family. When he was younger, he gave up his dream of becoming a chef due to his mother’s opposition and instead followed the path laid out by the family business. However, after falling in love with Han Gyu Rim, he chose love over his family and left home. Now, after enduring the pain of heartbreak and spending eight years in Italy becoming a chef, he returns home. A key point to watch will be his journey as he works to unravel years of misunderstandings with his mother Hong Ok Sun, and gradually break down the emotional walls between them.

Jin Kyung plays Hong Ok Sun, the owner of Dong Yoon Group and Kim Moo Jin’s mother. Widowed, she devoted herself to building the company. Although she recognized that her daughter Kim Yoon Jin was exceptionally capable, she insisted on naming her son as her successor, determined to spare her daughter from the discrimination and hardships she herself faced as a woman. A mother who chose strictness in the name of protecting her children, she made the cold-hearted decision to cut ties with her son when he chose love over the family and left home.

Mi Ram takes on the role of Kim Yoon Jin, Hong Ok Sun’s eldest daughter and Kim Moo Jin’s older sister. Despite inheriting her mother’s striking looks and exceptional business acumen, she was repeatedly overlooked as the family’s successor in favor of her younger brother, forcing her to constantly prove her worth. Although she has long viewed Moo Jin as a rival, she also cares deeply for him. After his return eight years later, Yoon Jin is expected to serve as a mediator between her estranged younger brother and their emotionally distant mother.

The production team commented, “One of the biggest points to look forward to will be watching a family that has long relied on cold logic and reason gradually change as they rediscover each other’s warmth. Through the powerful emotional performances of Ha Seok Jin, Jin Kyung, and Mi Ram, as well as the family’s journey toward opening their hearts to one another, we hope to deliver a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.”

“Love on the Menu” premieres on July 25 at 8 p.m. KST.

Watch: Ha Seok Jin Is Smitten With EXID’s Hani In “Love On The Menu” Teaser

KBS 2TV’s upcoming drama “Love on the Menu” has shared a sneak peek of Ha Seok Jin and EXID’s Hani’s romance!

“Love on the Menu” tells the story of Kim Moo Jin (Ha Seok Jin) and Han Gyu Rim (Hani), two former loves who reunite eight years after a painful breakup. As they reconnect, they piece together the fragments of their broken families and create the warmest table of life together.

The newly released teaser offers a glimpse of the journey of Kim Moo Jin, who gave up everything for love, and Han Gyu Rim, who gave up love for the sake of her family. The video begins with Han Seo Hyun (Lee Joo Yeon) asking Kim Moo Jin what’s so special about Han Gyu Rim. As if to answer her question, the teaser then cuts to Han Gyu Rim rushing off a bus in order to help a collapsed Park Soo Nam (Kang Ae Shim) as Kim Moo Jin watches from a distance.

When Kim Moo Jin and Han Gyu Rim end up working part-time at the same place, they gradually grow closer. Kim Moo Jin, who is inexperienced in love, hilariously wonders if he should use his status as a chaebol heir to his advantage, asking, “Should I tell her that I’m well-off? No, not just well-off, but a chaebol heir. Should I just spill the beans?”

Later, Kim Moo Jin gets endearingly jealous and complains to Han Gyu Rim, “Are you that kind and friendly to everyone? Can’t you just be nice to me and not anyone else?”

Han Gyu Rim, who is busy hopping between part-time jobs in order to make ends meet, declares that she doesn’t have the time or the means to date anyone right now. However, the smitten Kim Moo Jin remains undeterred, and he tells her, “All you need to do is keep feeling butterflies around me. It’s okay if you don’t get caught, and it’s even better if you do.”

When cracks begin to form in their relationship due to external circumstances, Han Gyu Rim attempts to push Kim Moo Jin away by saying, “If you don’t want to get dragged down into this cesspool with me, run away as quickly as possible.” But despite her efforts to keep her distance, the teaser ends with Kim Moo Jin asking if he can hug her before warmly pulling her into his arms.

“Love on the Menu” has shared a new poster!

The poster captures the most radiant moment shared by restaurant owner-chef Kim Moo Jin and Han Gyu Rim, a market side-dish shop employee. It captures the excitement and freshness of first love.

In the poster, Kim Moo Jin and Han Gyu Rim appear reminiscent of a couple about to get married. Han Gyu Rim wears a veil, and the two hold a bouquet together while smiling brightly. Their gazes convey the excitement unique to first love and their sincere desire to spend the rest of their lives together.

Watch: Hani Wants To Lean On Ha Seok Jin Amid Troubled Family Dynamics In “Love On The Menu” Teaser

KBS2’s “Love on the Menu” has unveiled a new teaser!

“Love on the Menu” is a family romance drama that follows two former lovers who reunite eight years after a painful breakup. As they reconnect, they piece together the fragments of their broken families and create the warmest table of life together.

Ha Seok Jin plays Kim Moo Jin, a perfectly credentialed owner-chef of an Italian restaurant, while Hani plays Han Gyu Rim, a side-dish shop employee who maintains a bright spirit despite a difficult reality.

The newly released teaser begins with Han Gyu Oh (Bae Youn Kyu) feeling sorry for his eldest sister Han Gyu Rim, telling his second eldest sister Han Gyu Young (Park You Na), “Gyu Rim gave up college for you. She gave up her dreams so you could go to medical school.” However, Han Gyu Young coldly replies, “What dream does Han Gyu Rim have?” which is followed by a scene of Jo Heung Sik (Bae Jung Nam) scolding her.

The teaser further piques intrigue about Han Gyu Oh’s mysterious life. Han Gyu Seo (Park Soo Oh) tells their father Han Seok Joong (Ryu Seung Soo), “Don’t take that money. Do you know how he earned that money?” while a scene of the past shows Han Gyu Oh at the police station as a high school student. As Han Gyu Rim hugs her younger siblings, the text, “Are we family?” appears on screen.

As Han Gyu Young expresses her wishes for the chairman to be her father, Han Gyu Min (Kim Min Seo) also gives a judging look to their troublemaking father. When Han Seok Joong warns his daughter Han Gyu Rim about meeting the wrong man in life, Han Gyu Rim defends Kim Moo Jin (Ha Seok Jin), saying, “Moo Jin is different.” However, that trust appears to break through misunderstandings.

Eventually pushed to the edge, Han Gyu Rim states, “I can’t listen to your unreasonableness anymore. Don’t meddle in other people’s lives,” previewing the chaotic family and romantic dynamics to come.

Ha Seok Jin Dishes On Working With Hani, The Appeal Of “Love On The Menu,” And More

Ha Seok Jin has shared insights into his upcoming drama “Love on the Menu”!

Ha Seok Jin plays Kim Moo Jin, the perfectionist and prickly owner and head chef of an Italian restaurant. Though he appears to have it all, he was hopelessly devoted to his first love Han Gyu Rim and remained deeply in love with her. After she suddenly ended their relationship, he left for Italy, where he became a successful chef. Eight years later, he reunites with his first love, setting his life on an unexpected new course.

Ahead of the drama’s premiere, Ha Seok Jin shared why he chose the project, saying, “It’s been a long time since I came across a weekend drama with the kind of heartwarming story that appeals to viewers of all generations. What drew me in was that it goes beyond a simple romance between a man and a woman to explore family, relationships, the choices we make, and the feelings that never truly fade.”

Describing his character, Ha Seok Jin said Kim Moo Jin has the charm of someone who is “tough on the outside but soft on the inside.” “He seems composed, but he’s surprisingly inexperienced when it comes to certain emotions. He appears perfect, but in reality, he’s far from it—that gap is what makes Moo Jin so appealing,” he explained.

He went on to describe Han Gyu Rim’s place in Moo Jin’s heart, saying, “To Moo Jin, Han Gyu Rim isn’t simply a first love he misses. She’s someone he has never truly been able to move on from, no matter how much time has passed.”

When asked how similar he is to his character, Ha Seok Jin smiled and estimated their resemblance at “about 60 percent.” “We’re alike in that we’re both rational and logical at work, and we both naturally bicker with close friends. But Moo Jin is much more honest and straightforward about his emotions than I am,” he said.

Ha Seok Jin also shared a behind-the-scenes story about working with his co-star Hani. He said, “Before our first day of filming, we went for a walk together on a mountain trail, and that really helped us get past any awkwardness. Since we’re portraying two people who reunite after eight years apart, we’re working hard to find the right emotional rhythm for our characters.”

He also hinted at the fun friendship viewers can expect with Min Jin Woong, who plays Kim Moo Jin’s best friend of 20 years, Park Jung Woo. He shared, “Since we’re friends in real life, the rhythm of our conversations comes naturally, and we’ve been having a lot of fun filming together.”

Concluding the interview, Ha Seok Jin shared, “Because this is a long-form drama, I want to gradually build Kim Moo Jin’s character and let viewers get to know him over time.” He added, “’Love on the Menu’ is a drama about long-forgotten feelings beginning to stir once again. I hope viewers will enjoy watching it on weekend evenings and find moments that resonate with their own hearts.”

“Love on the Menu” premieres on July 25 at 8 p.m. KST.

Ha Seok Jin Sees Lee Ju Yeon As Family While She Longs For More In “Love On The Menu”

Upcoming drama “Love on the Menu” has unveiled new stills!

Ha Seok Jin plays Kim Moo Jin, a perfectionist owner-chef of an Italian restaurant. Lee Ju Yeon stars as Jang Seo Hyun, a talented fashion designer who has harbored feelings for Kim Moo Jin ever since they first met as children. Now the head designer of a fashion brand, she has remained by his side all these years, her feelings unchanged.

For Kim Moo Jin, however, Jang Seo Hyun is not a romantic interest but someone he considers family.

The newly released stills capture Kim Moo Jin and Jang Seo Hyun experiencing the same moments with completely different emotions.

After returning home from years of studying abroad, Jang Seo Hyun’s first stop is to see Kim Moo Jin. Dressed up for their long-awaited reunion, she can’t hide her excitement. Kim Moo Jin, however, fails to recognize her at first. While he eventually greets her warmly, Jang Seo Hyun’s affectionate gaze reveals feelings she can no longer conceal, highlighting the emotional distance between them.

The fact that Kim Moo Jin still sees Jang Seo Hyun as someone like a younger sister only deepens the anticipation for how their relationship may evolve.

Another set of stills reveals a very different atmosphere. Kim Moo Jin is sitting beside Jang Seo Hyun’s hospital bed, his face filled with worry and inner conflict. Meanwhile, Jang Seo Hyun looks at him with a mixture of affection and hope, raising questions about what happened to bring them to this moment.

“Love on the Menu” premieres on July 25 at 8 p.m. KST.

Ha Seok Jin And Hani Stand Together But Remain Worlds Apart In “Love On The Menu” Posters

Upcoming drama “Love on the Menu” has unveiled new posters!

The posters feature Kim Moo Jin (Ha Seok Jin) and Han Gyu Rim (Hani), who have endured their own wounds while hiding their feelings for each other.

Kim Moo Jin, looking at Han Gyu Rim as they face each other again after eight years, conveys emotions that are not easily resolved, saying, “If you’re going to run away, do it right so we never have to see each other again like this.”

Han Gyu Rim’s poster includes the line, “I am the worst card you can hold,” and her eyes, which ultimately cannot meet his gaze, reflect a mixture of resignation and unshakable longing, born from having to leave him out of love.

The final poster with the two of them shows the two standing in the same space but ultimately unable to look at each other. Their diverging gazes symbolize a relationship in which, even while together, they cannot reach each other, revealing the wounds and longing accumulated over eight years.

The production team said, “Please warmly watch to see what kind of relationship the two people, who have faced each other again after crossing eight years of time, will build beyond their wounds.”

Watch: Ha Seok Jin Vows To Stay By Hani’s Side Despite Her Difficult Realities In New Drama “Love On The Menu” Teaser

The upcoming drama “Love on the Menu” has shared a new teaser!

The teaser video opens with Han Gyu Rim (Hani) sharply rejecting Kim Moo Jin (Ha Seok Jin), who is approaching her.

Han Gyu Rim tells Kim Moo Jin, “Let’s stop here,” drawing a clear line. She continues, “I’m really poor, I have no savings, I have four younger siblings to support, and I didn’t graduate from college,” laying bare her reality.

A brief sense of innocence and excitement quickly gives way as a shadow of hardship falls over the story, sharply reversing the tone. After Han Gyu Rim’s somber warning, “Holding onto me means you’d be holding the worst possible card you could play,” the story between the two, marked by betrayal and regret toward each other, deepens curiosity.

She adds, “If I get malicious thoughts, I might hold onto you and never let go. So consider it a blessing from heaven and run away quickly,” further heightening the sense of sorrow.

Kim Moo Jin responds to Han Gyu Rim’s painful rejection with a firm, “No, I don’t want to.” He then embraces her, as if to comfort her, and says, “I’m not running away.”
