EXID's Hani is set to star in the upcoming K-drama "Love On The Menu." The production has released the first stills of the singer-turned-actress in character as a woman managing her family's collapse.
"Love On The Menu" is a family romance that reunites two former lovers eight years after a breakup. As they reconnect, they must rebuild their fractured families. Hani plays a character who takes on countless responsibilities after her family falls on hard times, becoming the family's primary support as circumstances deteriorate.
This role marks a significant shift from Hani's idol career. The character demands serious dramatic weight—the kind of responsibility-laden part that tests an actor's range. With two former lovers colliding and broken families attempting to heal, Hani's character anchors the emotional core of the story.
The series is described as a "warmest" family drama, K-drama language for emotional intensity. Expect multigenerational conflict, financial hardship, and quiet moments of connection amid collapse.
Hani has been building her acting resume since stepping back from full-time idol work. "Love On The Menu" appears positioned as the role that could establish her transition to dramatic acting. A character bearing family hardship within a rekindled romance plot is the kind of challenge that draws industry and audience attention.
The show promises broken families, rekindled love, and a character shouldering impossible burdens. That combination is the emotional substance audiences seek from family dramas.
