'Love Comes' featured a reunion between Ha Seok-jin and Ahn Hee-yeon (EXID's Hani) for the first time in eight years.

In the fourth episode of KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'Love Comes' (directed by Hong Seok-gu / written by Lee Kyung-hee), which aired on the night of the 2nd, the story depicted Kim Mu-jin (played by Ha Seok-jin) and Han Gyu-rim (played by Ahn Hee-yeon) overcoming a heartbreaking separation and eight years apart to become entangled again through an unexpected connection. The episode achieved a viewership rating of 13.9% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on all national households), marking a significant increase from the previous day's 11.7%, captivating living room audiences with the renewed bond between the two characters that transcended eight years.

In the fourth episode, Kim Mu-jin suffered a major accident while carrying cement bags at Gong (President), failing to avoid falling materials and losing consciousness before being rushed to the hospital. At the same time, Han Gyu-rim, who was working part-time, received an urgent call from her tear-stained father, Han Seok-joong (played by Ryu Seung-soo). Rushing home, Han Gyu-rim collapsed upon seeing her father in a state of disarray from his injuries and the numerous collection notices and repayment notifications he had been hiding.

After receiving a call from Park Jeong-woo (played by Min Jin-woong), Han Gyu-rim rushed to the hospital, only to learn belatedly that Kim Mu-jin had been kicked out of his home, was living in a boarding house, and had even taken on day labor jobs at Gong (President)_. Seeing Kim Mu-jin lying unconscious, Han Gyu-rim felt deep sorrow. At that moment, his sister Kim Yoon-jin (played by Miram) approached her and said, "Mu-jin gave up everything because of you, Gyu-rim. Please let him go," delivering a resentful plea. Eventually, Han Gyu-rim left the hospital room and broke down in tears, recalling past memories alone, leaving viewers with a heavy heart.

Later, upon seeing her house covered with red seizure notices, Han Gyu-rim decided to part ways with Kim Mu-jin. She visited Kim Yoon-jin and demanded 100 million won as compensation for leaving Kim Mu-jin, saying things like, "I know exactly whose son you are, but what charm could a penniless day laborer like Kim Mu-jin possibly have?" These were lies she did not truly mean. When Kim Yoon-jin tried to leave, unwilling to speak further with someone so materialistic, Han Gyu-rim handed her a recorder, insisting that this was necessary for Kim Mu-jin to completely forget her. She then quietly departed without accepting any money, apologizing for the trouble she had caused.

Meanwhile, as soon as Kim Mu-jin regained consciousness, his first concern was for Han Gyu-rim. However, upon hearing her cold words from the recording his sister had shared, he fell into confusion, unable to believe what he heard. Immediately after completing rehabilitation, he relied on crutches and went straight to her house, only to find a stranger answering the door. In disbelief, he even tried calling her number, but all he heard was an automated message stating the number no longer existed. Overwhelmed with despair as if trapped in a nightmare, his vision blurred.

Eight years passed. Han Gyu-rim raised her eight-year-old son, Han Geol (played by Yoon Ha-bin), and lived bravely as an employee at Park Soo-nam's (played by Kang Ae-sim) side dish shop. In contrast, Kim Mu-jin had become an owner-chef running a restaurant with the unique concept of "No Couples Allowed." His still-cold reaction whenever Gyu-rim's name was mentioned suggested that deep wounds remained unchanged even after so much time had passed. The two were living completely different lives from their pasts.

Meanwhile, while playing a game at an internet cafe, Kim Mu-jin found his character ranked fourth and accessed the game lobby to unleash harsh words on his opponent. Han Gyu-rim discovered this chat window on her son's monitor while cleaning and froze in shock. Despite her son's attempts to stop her, she launched a counterattack with eyes wide open, leading to an intense keyboard battle that escalated in intensity, marking the beginning of their reconnection.

At the end of the broadcast, the two appeared at the police station following their aggressive argument within the game, experiencing a shocking reunion after eight years. As Han Gyu-rim hurriedly tried to leave after the investigation, she twisted her ankle. At that moment, Mu-jin grabbed her hand and coldly remarked, "If you're going to run, do it properly." However, upon seeing Han Geol running toward her shouting "Mom!" and Jo Heung-sik (played by Bae Jeong-nam) appearing beside him, Kim Mu-jin's entire body stiffened with shock, heightening curiosity for the next episode.

The fifth episode of 'Love Comes' will air on the evening of the 8th at 8 p.m.
