In 'Love Comes', the hearts of Hah Seok-jin and Ahn Hee-yeon (EXID's Han-i) ultimately crossed paths.

In the eighth episode of KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Comes' (directed by Hong Seok-gu / written by Lee Kyung-hee), which aired on the afternoon of the 16th, Kim Mu-jin (played by Hah Seok-jin) and Han Gyu-rim (played by Ahn Hee-yeon), who had broken up, each decided to start new relationships with Jang Seo-hyun (played by Lee Ju-yeon) and Jo Heung-sik (played by Bae Jeong-nam), respectively, depicting their diverging paths. The broadcast that day recorded a viewership rating of 15.6% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on all national households), securing first place in the entire weekend broadcast lineup and eliciting a strong response.

Previously, Kim Mu-jin, who had ended his relationship, recalled memories with Han Gyu-rim, while Han Gyu-rim also repeated the farewell message he had left behind to herself alone. While trying hard to compose herself and tidy up her home, Han Gyu-rim finally shed tears. Kim Mu-jin, too, was preparing for a job change at an overseas restaurant and attempting to put his relationship with Han Gyu-rim behind him.

Jo Heung-sik tried to save Han-gyeol (played by Yoon Ha-bin) from a falling sign but ended up injured himself and headed to the emergency room. Upon receiving the call, Han Gyu-rim rushed over and confirmed that Han-gyeol was safe, feeling relieved, yet she could not hide her shock upon seeing Jo Heung-sik with casts on both arms. Jo Heung-sik instead assured them that he was fine, and Han Gyu-rim's eyes reddened with gratitude and guilt toward him.

Han Gyu-rim stepped forward to take full responsibility for the injured Jo Heung-sik on behalf of Park Su-nam (played by Kang Ae-shim). When Jo Heung-sik became flustered, saying his mother would misunderstand, Han Gyu-rim firmly told him it was no joke. Afterward, as Jo Heung-sik returned home and Han Gyu-rim stayed by his side to care for him attentively, he could not hide his excitement and embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Jang Hoon-tae (played by Kwon Hae-hyo) invited Kim Mu-jin to his home to take revenge on behalf of Jang Seo-hyun, who had suffered greatly because of Kim Mu-jin. Jang Hoon-tae deliberately served spicy stir-fried squid to Kim Mu-jin, who cannot eat spicy food, and when Jang Seo-hyun tried to stop him, she snatched his plate and ate it instead. However, Jang Seo-hyun, who had an allergy to squid, began experiencing difficulty breathing and collapsed. In this unexpected situation, Kim Mu-jin, along with Jang Hoon-tae and Ko Yun-hee (played by Yoon Yu-seon), were greatly flustered.

Kim Mu-jin, guarding Jang Seo-hyun's hospital room, scolded her with concern, saying she had nearly died by risking herself for him. In response, Jang Seo-hyun bitterly remarked, "There are people who go mad with love and even abandon themselves to tear apart the Samjeonggo," before telling him not to give her any more hope and instead to marry Han Gyu-rim. Overwhelmed by guilt and remorse at Jang Seo-hyun's sincere confession, Kim Mu-jin was consumed by a sense of apology and sin.

Meanwhile, Hong Ok-sun (played by Jin Kyung) recalled her worst first meeting with Han Seok-jung (played by Ryu Seung-soo) and tried to avoid him, only to step on another guest's shoe and get entangled in a dispute. At that moment, Han Seok-jung appeared, revealing that the shoes were counterfeit, thereby saving Hong Ok-sun from the crisis. Surprised by this unexpected help, Hong Ok-sun's gaze toward Han Seok-jung changed, and an odd tension began to stir between the two of them.

Towards the end of the broadcast, Han Gyu-rim learned that Han Seok-jung had lied to Park Su-nam, claiming that Han-gyeol's father had returned. Afterward, Han Gyu-rim called Jo Heung-sik and proposed a new relationship by saying, "Let's meet seriously." Kim Mu-jin also visited the hospital room despite Ko Yun-hee's pleas not to come see Jang Seo-hyun, telling her, "Let's meet properly as a man and a woman, not just as older and younger siblings." As Kim Mu-jin and Han Gyu-rim each reached out to different people, their completely diverged relationship was shown in alternating scenes, sparking curiosity about what kind of changes the two might face in the future.

The ninth episode of 'Love Comes' will air at 8 p.m. on the 22nd.
