Lee Dong-hwi & Bang Hyo-rin Stir Up Warmth with 'Onion Soup After Work'

Actors Lee Dong-hwi and Bang Hyo-rin are set to kick off the 2025 KBS2 one-act play project 'Love: Track'.

Slated for broadcast on Sunday, the 14th at 10:50 PM, 'Onion Soup After Work' tells the story of Park Mu-an (Lee Dong-hwi), an office worker exhausted by life's hardships, and Han Da-jeong (Bang Hyo-rin), a chef, as their subtle relationship unfolds when the comforting onion soup that was his sole solace suddenly disappears from the menu.

Lee Dong-hwi portrays Park Mu-an, a pharmaceutical sales representative who struggles to get through each day without goals or ambitions. His expressionless face alone conveys the weariness of his daily grind. His only joy was a bowl of warm onion soup after work, but this small pleasure begins to falter when the dish vanishes from his regular restaurant's menu.

Bang Hyo-rin plays the role of Han Da-jeong, the chef who prepares the comforting onion soup. She sparks curiosity by not easily revealing the reason behind the menu change, even when faced with Mu-an's persistent questions. Da-jeong finds fulfillment in seeing customers enjoy her food, but the circumstances behind her abrupt decision to remove the soup remain a mystery.

'Onion Soup After Work' is expected to deliver heartwarming smiles and touching emotions through the subtle push-and-pull between Park Mu-an, determined to reclaim his 'joy of life,' and Han Da-jeong. This drama, offering solace like a bowl of onion soup in a cold and weary reality, will air on KBS2 on the 14th at 10:50 PM.

Netizens are expressing anticipation for the drama, with comments such as 'Really looking forward to Lee Dong-hwi's acting!', 'Makes me crave onion soup... looks like a warm healing drama', and 'Looking forward to Bang Hyo-rin's acting transformation too!'.
