If you’ve been waiting for a K-drama that actually understands the ache of rekindled first love, mark your calendar right now. KBS2 has just greenlit Love Is Coming — and it’s penned by the legendary screenwriter behind Uncontrollably Fond. This one is going to hurt in the best possible way.
The Plot That Has Everyone Talking
Love Is Coming is a family romance drama that follows two former lovers who reunite eight years after a painful breakup. As they reconnect while navigating family responsibilities, old wounds, and life’s hardships, they begin a journey toward healing, growth, and a second chance at love.
It’s not just a love story — it’s a story about why love sometimes isn’t enough, and what happens when you get a second chance to rewrite the ending.
Meet the Cast: Ha Seok Jin & Hani
Ha Seok Jin will play Kim Moo Jin, the owner-chef of an Italian restaurant who seems to have it all. Blessed with perfect background and qualifications, Kim Moo Jin gradually falls deeply in love with Han Gyu Rim. Despite her repeated rejections, he pursues her wholeheartedly and eventually becomes her boyfriend. However, when she suddenly disappears without a trace, he is left with a deep emotional wound. After moving to Italy to study cooking, Kim Moo Jin returns eight years later and unexpectedly reunites with Han Gyu Rim.
Hani takes on the role of Han Gyu Rim, an employee at a side-dish shop who shoulders the responsibility of supporting her family while battling through each demanding day. After her once-comfortable family falls apart, Han Gyu Rim is forced to take various part-time jobs and household responsibilities. Although she shares a year of happiness with Kim Moo Jin, the harsh realities of life eventually lead her to end their relationship.

Why This Drama Matters?
The drama is penned by Lee Kyung Hee, who is known for acclaimed works such as Uncontrollably Fond, The Innocent Man, and I’m Sorry, I Love You. If you’ve watched any of those, you already know this writer doesn’t do lightweight emotions. She goes deep. The production team shared that viewers will enjoy “the heartfelt and deeply emotional romantic chemistry between Ha Seok Jin and Hani as a couple,” with their reunion romance delivering both laughter and touching moments. soompisoompi
