In a dramatic turn of events during the 13th episode of the KBS 2TV weekend drama ‘The Love Is Coming,’ Ha Seok-jin’s character, Kim Moo-jin, unleashed eight years of pent-up emotions towards Ahn Hee-yeon’s character, Han Gyu-rim, after discovering the truth about Yoon Ha-bin’s parentage. The episode, aired on the 5th, revealed not only that Han Gyu-rim is the biological daughter of Go Yun-hee (played by Yoon Yoo-sun) but also the shocking revelation that Yoon Ha-bin is not Han Gyu-rim’s biological son.
Unraveling Family Secrets and Past Heartbreak
The episode depicted Kim Moo-jin preparing kimchi fried rice for Han Gyu-rim, who had unexpectedly visited. While eating the dish, Han Gyu-rim was overcome with emotion, recalling memories of Kim Moo-jin from eight years prior. Kim Moo-jin, observing the clean plate left behind, silently told himself, “Don’t come again.” His resolute demeanor, though he kept his true feelings hidden, brought tears to Han Gyu-rim’s eyes, evoking a sense of pity.
Meanwhile, Go Yun-hee, after much deliberation, confessed to her husband Jang Hoon-tae (played by Kwon Hae-hyo) that Han Gyu-rim is her biological daughter. Jang Seo-yeon (played by Lee Ju-yeon) questioned why Go Yun-hee so strongly opposed her relationship with Kim Moo-jin, suspecting that Kim Moo-jin might be her father’s son. To protect his daughter’s feelings and prevent her from pursuing Kim Moo-jin, Jang Hoon-tae lied, claiming that Kim Moo-jin was indeed his son. This precarious decision to protect both Go Yun-hee and Jang Seo-yeon created further tension within the household.
Jang Hoon-tae then met with Kim Moo-jin directly to inquire about his relationship with Han Gyu-rim. Sensing something amiss from Kim Moo-jin’s flustered reaction, Jang Hoon-tae uncovered the truth: Han Gyu-rim and Go Yun-hee are mother and daughter. He also learned the reason behind Go Yun-hee’s opposition to Kim Moo-jin’s relationship with Jang Seo-yeon.
Confronted with these unexpected truths, Kim Moo-jin was thrown into a state of shock and confusion.
Yoon Ha-bin’s Paternity and Growing Suspicions
Separately, Han Gyu-rim received a call from her son Yoon Ha-bin’s homeroom teacher, Kwon Hee-na (played by Jung Bo-min), inquiring about Yoon Ha-bin’s father. Han Gyu-rim sensed an unusual atmosphere. Kwon Hee-na informed Han Gyu-rim that a child with type AB blood could not be born to a mother with type O blood, suggesting that Yoon Ha-bin’s birth secret had already been noticed. Faced with this reality, Han Gyu-rim was filled with fear. She worried about the shock her son might be experiencing upon learning the truth and felt a pang of regret.
Yoon Ha-bin, seeking answers, went to find Kim Moo-jin. When Yoon Ha-bin mentioned his and Han Gyu-rim’s blood types, Kim Moo-jin also found it suspicious. Confirming his suspicions through Kim Moo-jin’s reaction, Yoon Ha-bin became certain of his doubts. He refused Kim Moo-jin’s suggestion to discuss the matter directly with his mother and left in tears.
Later, Kim Moo-jin answered a call from Han Gyu-rim intended for Yoon Ha-bin. He informed Han Gyu-rim that Yoon Ha-bin did not wish to meet her at that moment, further deepening the rift between mother and son.
A Father’s Anguish and a Mother’s Plea
Following the broadcast, Kim Moo-jin stayed by Yoon Ha-bin’s side as he slept by the dark riverbank. Yoon Ha-bin, in his sleep, asked about his parents, eventually becoming delirious. Kim Moo-jin watched over him silently.
Han Gyu-rim, unable to reach Yoon Ha-bin, heard from Kim Moo-jin that his son wanted to be with him. Despite this, she went to pick up her son herself. As they prepared to leave together, Kim Moo-jin finally broke his silence, unleashing his long-suppressed emotions. “After abandoning me, what kind of life have you lived for the past eight years?” he cried out.
Kim Moo-jin’s anguished cry, filled with resentment and longing accumulated over eight years, deeply shook Han Gyu-rim. The revelation of Yoon Ha-bin’s true parentage and the ensuing emotional turmoil set the stage for further dramatic developments in the series.
