In the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Is Coming', an unexpected crack appears in the sweet romance between Ha Seok-jin and Ahn Hee-yeon.
'Love Is Coming' has received a hot response, surpassing a 13% viewership rating in just two episodes. In particular, in episodes 1 and 2, which first aired on the 25th and 26th, the complicated relationships between the Han siblings, bound by love and resentment, and their parents' generation were portrayed. Episode 2 recorded a nationwide rating of 13.8%, rising 1.8 percentage points from the first episode and launching a full-scale ratings surge.

In episodes 3 and 4 of the KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Is Coming,' scheduled to air on August 1 (Sat) and 2 (Sun), as the love between Kim Mu-jin (played by Ha Seok-jin) and Han Gyu-rim (played by Ahn Hee-yeon) deepens, their relationship begins to shake because of secrets hidden from each other. Previously, Gyu-rim kept pushing Mu-jin away in the face of reality's wall, but his unwavering sincerity as he approached her eventually moved her heart. The two, who confirmed their true feelings for each other while shedding long-held tears, greatly raised anticipation for the first-love romance that will unfold ahead.

The stills released on the 31st capture the youthful, happy moments of Kim Mu-jin and Han Gyu-rim, who have finally become a blissful couple. Just looking at each other makes smiles bloom on their faces, and their warm appearance, full of sweet couple chemistry, gives viewers a dazzling sense of excitement. However, the sweet time lasts only briefly before the mood is reversed as a completely different atmosphere emerges.
Mu-jin's stern expression and complicated eyes, lost in deep thought alone, spark curiosity about the truth he could not bring himself to reveal. Attention is focused on what kind of ripples the unspeakable story he is carrying will create between the two in the future.

Meanwhile, the sight of Han Gyu-rim and Kim Mu-jin's older sister, Kim Yoon-jin (played by Miram), sitting face to face and talking creates an unusual tension. Han Gyu-rim, as if having made up her mind about something, catches the eye as she hands Kim Yoon-jin the recorder she is holding. This heightens curiosity to the maximum about why the two met and what conversation is recorded inside the recorder that was handed over.
The KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Is Coming' episode 3 will air on August 1 (Sat) at 8:00 p.m.
