Bae Yunkyu's character finally confesses in KBS drama 'Love Is Coming' — "I ran hard, then surrendered"

Han Gyuoh stops running

On Oct. 18, KBS drama Love Is Coming ended with Han Gyuoh (Bae Yunkyu) finally admitting his feelings to Kwon Heena (Jung Bomin). The two officially started a relationship.

The confession came after Gyuoh turned the tables on Heena: "You're so curious about everything — why have you never once asked what kind of guy I am?" When she asked whether his love for her was past or present tense, he answered without hesitation.

"I love you! Present tense!" — Han Gyuoh (Bae Yunkyu)

Gyuoh went straight to his sister Han Gyurim (An Heeyeon) and told her: "Gyeol's homeroom teacher Kwon Heena is my girlfriend." He filled her in on the backstory. They first met in high school. Spent years circling each other. Only came together that day. "I ran really hard trying to escape," he said, "and today I surrendered."

The sibling exchange

Gyuoh also spoke about Kim Mujin, saying that even if the whole world tried to stand in the way, two people who are meant to meet will find each other eventually. Gyurim's response was simple: "Unnie will always support and cheer for you." Gyuoh shot back: "Same to you — reflected!"

(An Heeyeon playing the older sister of the male lead is a casting detail the show has been leaning into all season.)

Love Is Coming airs every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM on KBS.
