KBS2 weekend drama 'Love on the Menu' has recorded its highest viewership to date, driven by the full-scale romantic development between Ahn Hee-yeon and Ha Seok-jin. According to Nielsen Korea on the 31st, the 12th episode broadcast the previous day showed a viewership rating of 17.0% nationwide based on households.

This record is the highest figure among all weekend programs, including terrestrial and general programming channels. The relationship between the two characters entered a new phase as Ahn Hee-yeon, playing the role of Han Gyu-rim, declared her resignation as the eldest daughter to her family and visited the restaurant operated by Ha Seok-jin, who plays Kim Mu-jin.

Han Gyu-rim signaled change by notifying her family to find their own ways to live, and scenes were depicted of her spending a hard daily life at a side dish shop. At the end of the broadcast, a scene was included where Han Gyu-rim visits Kim Mu-jin and orders kimchi fried rice, which is not on the menu, leading to their reunion.

As the conflicts and affection between the protagonists intensify and the viewership surpasses the 17% mark, attention is focused on whether 'Love on the Menu' can continue to hold the throne of weekend dramas.
