Actress Lee Joo-yeon is captivating viewers in the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Is on Its Way,' where she plays Jang Seo-hyun, a woman who has been harboring a crush for 30 years.
In the episodes aired on the 1st and 2nd, Lee Joo-yeon appeared as fashion designer Jang Seo-hyun, showcasing an unwavering heart and a bold, straightforward romance toward Kim Moo-jin, played by Ha Seok-jin.
Hearing from Park Jung-woo (Min Jin-woong) that Kim Moo-jin and Han Kyu-rim (Ahn Hee-yeon) might break up, Jang Seo-hyun briefly rejoiced, only to be deeply disappointed upon learning that the two had visited Moo-jin's father's grave together. Lee Joo-yeon naturally portrayed the delicate emotional line in this scene, where the excitement and emptiness of unrequited love intertwined.
In particular, Jang Seo-hyun revealed a unique charm by declaring she would love only one person for 30 years. When Park Jung-woo asked if she would continue her crush, she replied, 'I've liked him since I was ten, so if I'm 40, that's 30 years. If it's not meant to be by then, I'm going to stop.' When Park Jung-woo joked that he would give her a gold medal for 30 years of dedication, she shot back, 'If you're going to give me one, make it solid gold,' drawing laughter.
Jang Seo-hyun also delivered a lighthearted scene where she visited a PC bang with Kim Moo-jin and watched him play games from his side, discovering an unexpectedly charming side of him. After naturally offering to walk Moo-jin home and treat him to her mother's cooking, an awkward situation arose when her father, Jang Hoon-tae (Kwon Hae-hyo), suddenly appeared. Stepping up to take full responsibility in the face of her father's scolding, Jang Seo-hyun's honest and bold personality shone through.
Immediately after the broadcast, viewers responded enthusiastically with comments such as 'Asking for solid gold is quirky but cute,' 'Still carrying a crush — gotta admit the persistence,' 'She's really devoted to Moo-jin,' and 'Moo-jin and Seo-hyun actually look good together.'
'Love Is on Its Way,' starring Lee Joo-yeon, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM on KBS 2TV.
