In "Love is Coming," Ahn Hee-yeon (Hani of EXID) takes a step toward Ha Seok-jin.

The 12th episode of KBS 2TV weekend drama "Love is Coming" (directed by Hong Seok-gu / written by Lee Kyung-hee), broadcast on the night of the 30th, depicted Han Gyu-rim (played by Ahn Hee-yeon) enduring a relentless day, from being notified of her family's decision to live separately to enduring abuse from Park Su-nam. The episode achieved a viewership rating of 17.0% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on all national households), setting a new record for the series' highest viewership. It also secured first place in overall weekend broadcasts, completely captivating audiences with its portrayal of love.

In that day's broadcast, Han Gyu-rim declared her resignation as the eldest daughter to her family, instructing them to find their own places to live within three months and signaling the start of living separately. Her decisive change after sacrificing so much for her family drew support from viewers.

Meanwhile, Kim Mu-jin (played by Ha Seok-jin) prepared cooking ingredients to win over Ko Yoo-hee (played by Yoon Yu-seon), but she coldly pushed him away, saying, "Was the effort you promised meant to make people uncomfortable?" Unable to share her reasons for opposition even with her husband Jang Hoon-tae (played by Kwon Hae-hyo), Ko Yoo-hee drew a line and turned away, suffering alone. Her plight evoked sympathy from viewers.

On the other hand, Jo Heung-sik (played by Bae Jung-nam) demanded a written pledge from Park Su-nam (played by Kang Ae-shim) that she would not torment Han Gyu-rim. He tore up the "Help Wanted" sign at the side dish shop and offered to personally assist Han Gyu-rim with her work. Watching Han Gyu-rim working bravely alone through the window, Jo Heung-sik felt relieved. His warm heart, standing by her as a reliable supporter, brought warmth to the drama.

However, Park Su-nam sharply warned Han Gyu-rim, saying, "Experience how harsh I am." Starting with nitpicking about the taste of the side dishes Han Gyu-rim made, she erupted in anger at Han Gyu-rim's promise to do better, retorting, "What future are you talking about?" She even went so far as to force Han Gyu-rim to buy and peel whole garlic bulbs herself, intensifying her pressure on her.

Ko Yoo-hee visited the side dish shop to meet her biological daughter, Han Gyu-rim. However, because Han Gyu-rim had covered her face with sunglasses and a mask, she was not recognized and was sent out to deliver orders while being abused by Park Su-nam. Witnessing her daughter enduring harsh words, Ko Yoo-hee used tasting as an excuse to criticize the taste of the side dishes, giving Park Su-nam a taste of her own medicine. Her contemplation of how to take revenge on Park Su-nam revealed her deep maternal love for her daughter.

After completing deliveries, Han Gyu-rim encountered a child desperately searching for someone. The child was looking for their pet dog, and she personally went out to find it. After finishing a grateful video call with the child, Han Gyu-rim said wistfully, "Thank you, Kim Mu-jin. Thanks to you, I got to say your name at least once." Her words left a heavy aftertaste.

Towards the end of the broadcast, Han Gyu-rim declared, "I can't endure even if I'm punished by heaven," and headed toward Kim Mu-jin's restaurant. With trembling hands, she ordered kimchi fried rice, which was not on the menu. Surprised by Han Gyu-rim's unexpected appearance, Kim Mu-jin, after much thought, decided to prepare the dish. The scene of Han Gyu-rim waiting for Kim Mu-jin evoked a sense of sadness and built anticipation for the next episode.

The 13th episode of "Love is Coming" will air on September 5 at 8 p.m.
