Love on the Menu’s little Han-gyeol smiles where tears should fall

The growth of a child in a drama sometimes hurts adults' hearts even more. In the drama 'Love Is Coming', which depicts the process of gathering the fragments of a broken family to prepare a warm life, the way eight-year-old Han-gyeol behaves goes beyond simple innocence. The sight of the child suppressing sadness and comforting himself becomes a point that touches the hearts of viewers throughout the story.

Eight years old is an age when bursting into tears is natural. However, Han-gyeol does not cry. Instead, he believes he is brave and smiles toward his mother. The images of Han-gyeol captured in the video contain the process of the child silently accepting his situation and struggling to support himself. Behind the surrounding evaluations that he is smart and reliable lies the emotional weight the child had to endure.
