Love On The Menu: The Characters Behind The Chemistry
Park You Na plays Han Gyu Young, an accomplished doctor whose prickly exterior hides deep emotional wounds and a fierce sense of responsibility toward her family. She admitted that understanding Gyu Young’s pain took time, but repeated readings of the script helped her connect with the character on a much deeper level.
Bae Jung Nam takes on Jo Heung Sik, a tall, blunt-seeming but deeply loyal man whose warmth reveals itself in small, everyday moments rather than big dramatic gestures. He noted that Heung Sik’s loyalty and hidden softness actually mirror his own personality quite closely.
On-Set Chemistry And Sisterly Bonds
Park You Na shared that working alongside Hani, who plays her older sister, felt effortless from day one, with the two growing close quickly while keeping things fun off-camera and focused once filming began. Bae Jung Nam also praised co-star Kang Ae Shim, saying her spontaneous ad-libs sparked fresh ideas and made their scenes together more dynamic.
