Actress Lee Ju-yeon, playing Jang Seo-hyun in the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Comes,' fully portrayed the emotions of letting go of a first love encountered after 23 years.

Episodes 13 and 14 realistically depicted Jang Seo-hyun's confusion and process of separation as she faced conflicts with her family and a shocking truth. When her mother Ko Yoon-hee (Yoon Yoo-sun) opposed her meeting Kim Mu-jin (Ha Seok-jin), Jang Seo-hyun asked her father Jang Hun-tae (Kwon Hae-hyo) whether Kim Mu-jin was his son, and was devastated when Jang Hun-tae admitted it. Lee Ju-yeon delicately expressed Jang Seo-hyun's complex feelings upon confronting this truth.

Jang Seo-hyun then confided her anguish to Park Jung-woo (Min Jin-woong), saying, "I wish I had never known from the start." She poured out emotions mixed with resentment and regret over a love that ended before it could even begin, revealing despair and anger. She also showed a last glimmer of hope, asking Jang Hun-tae, "You're just playing with me, right?" but when he said he would step back from the front lines of management, she expressed her disappointment, saying, "Are you cowardly running away?" and turned away.

Jang Seo-hyun proposed running away together to Kim Mu-jin, but expressed her resentment when refused, and calmly said goodbye to Han Gyu-rim (Ahn Hee-yeon). Lee Ju-yeon convincingly conveyed Jang Seo-hyun's sorrow and consideration as she let go of a love she had cherished for a long time.

Viewers responded to this development with comments such as "How could her real father tell such a lie? I feel so sorry for Seo-hyun," "It's heartbreaking that Seo-hyun's 23-year unrequited love ended like this," and "Seo-hyun is truly kind."

Meanwhile, 'Love Comes' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m.
