The family drama « Recipe for Love »continues to unfold with new images highlighting the couples at the heart of a conflict that has lasted for 30 years. Between inherited grudges, buried secrets, and feelings that cannot be ignored, the series promises an emotional story where love becomes the driving force behind reconciliation.
A modern-day Romeo and Juliet romance
At the center of the story are Yang Hyun-bin (Park Ki-woong) and Gong Joo-ah (Jin Se-yeon).
He runs the fashion division of the Taehan Group with elegance and confidence; she is now a fashion designer within the same company. But behind this professional closeness lies a much more complex reality: their families have been in open conflict for three decades.
The images reveal a relationship suspended between attraction and restraint. Every glance and every gesture conveys a palpable tension, fueled by the family history that divides them. Their romance evokes a Contemporary Romeo and Juliet, where love finds a way despite the barriers inherited from the past.
Three couples, three faces of love and compromise
The drama adopts an ensemble structure, also exploring two other couples, each revealing a different facet of family relationships.
Kim Seung-soo and Yoo Ho-jung embody Gong Jeong-han and Han Sung-mi, a seemingly perfect couple. Director of a renowned clinic and a well-known psychiatrist, they have long been seen as role models. However, Jeong-han's excessive devotion to his patients is gradually causing cracks in their marriage, fueling rumors of “showcase marriage” and asking the question of what remains when the perfect image cracks.
Finally, Kim Hyung-mook and So Yi-hyun form a secret couple with more ambiguous intentions. He, Yang Dong-ik, is a reserved doctor; she, Cha Se-ri, his second wife, introduces herself as the “queen of devotion”. Behind their warm smiles, however, lie silent ambitions and truths ready to burst forth.
With two rival clinics (Gongmyeongjeongdaehan Clinic and Yangjibareun Oriental Clinic) facing each other day after day, personal and professional conflicts intertwine, foreshadowing intense confrontations... but also a possible reconciliation.
Recipe for Love will start on January 31, 2026 on KBS2 (awaiting an international broadcaster).
