KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'Love Is on the Way' is generating increasing buzz with each episode.

'Love Is on the Way' is a family recipe drama that depicts the story of a man and a woman who gather the fragments of a broken family to serve up the warmest 'meal of a lifetime.' The screenplay is written by Lee Kyung-hee, who portrayed parting and reunion, guilt and longing with her signature poignant emotional style in 'I'm Sorry, I Love You.' Even before its premiere, attention was focused on how the drama would unfold the long love story of two people whose fates had gone awry.

At the center of the drama is the crossed fate of Ha Seok-jin (as Kim Moo-jin) and Ahn Hee-yeon (as Han Gyu-rim). The two reunite after a heartbreaking separation,跨越 eight years — and even the place of their reunion is far from ordinary.

In the past, Han Gyu-rim pretended to be materialistic and lied in order to leave Kim Moo-jin's side for his sake. Then, eight years later, the two cross paths again at a police station, as if bound by a bitter tie. The moment the person who left carrying guilt and the person who did not even know the reason for that guilt stand face to face after a long time, new characters emerge, heightening the tension of the drama.

In a recently aired scene, Kim Moo-jin is thrown into shock when he sees a son named Han-gyeol running toward Han Gyu-rim calling her 'Mom,' along with Jo Heung-sik standing beside them.

This development was also reflected in viewership ratings. The fifth episode broke the drama's own highest rating based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide household standards. The layered structure of misunderstandings and secrets piling up between characters is interpreted as driving viewers' immersion.

Going forward, the key viewing point lies in how the truth surrounding Kim Moo-jin, Han Gyu-rim, Jo Heung-sik, and the son Han-gyeol will be revealed. In the released stills, a breathless confrontation scene was teased in which Kim Moo-jin blocks the path of the three, who appear to be a happy family. The secret surrounding the background of the breakup eight years ago and Han-gyeol's existence is expected to become a central variable in future developments. However, specific endings or possible twists in character relationships remain uncertain as those parts have not yet aired.

Meanwhile, Ahn Hee-yeon is currently active as a candidate for the Best Actress award at the August Netizen Awards. As of 5:28 p.m. on the 10th, she has recorded four votes and is ranked 20th.
