The acting chemistry between Kim Jung-hyun and Geum Sae-rok is capturing the attention of viewers.

In the KBS2 special weekend drama ‘Iron Family’ (directed by Sung Joon-hae, Seo Yong-soo / written by Seo Sook-hyang), the complicated relationship between Seo Kang-joo (played by Kim Jung-hyun), the son of Baek Ji-yeon (played by Kim Hye-eun) who lost 10 billion won, and Da-rim (played by Geum Sae-rok), the daughter of Go Bong-hee (played by Park Ji-young) who dug up 10 billion won in Mt. Eungak, is adding to the interest of the drama.

The chemistry between Kang-joo, the successor to the Jiseung Group, and Da-rim, who was able to see after eye surgery, is shining. After Da-rim‘s eyesight returned, Kang-joo’s unrequited love for her is drawing attention on the weekend TV screens, and we looked back at the two‘s best scenes that aired up to Episode 14.

● Kim Jung-hyun and Geum Sae-rok, who have begun to show progress in their relationship

In Episode 12, when Seo Kang-joo and Cha Tae-woong (played by Choi Tae-joon) got drunk and started fighting, Da-rim quickly stopped them. Da-rim, who couldn’t leave Kang-joo, who had been beaten and collapsed by Tae-woong, alone, stayed by Kang-joo‘s side instead of following Tae-woong. Kang-joo, who had collapsed, looked at the sky and said that there were many stars, and the scene where Da-rim confirmed the star and told him that it was the Big Dipper raised expectations about what changes would come in the relationship between the two.

In addition, Da-rim thought that it was thanks to Kang-joo that she got her job, and she was grateful to him. Kang-joo shook the viewers’ hearts by confessing that he was the one who kissed her on the forehead when she was hospitalized. However, Da-rim flatly rejected his confession, and the conflicting feelings between the two aroused regret. Attention was focused on whether Kang-joo would be able to change Da-rim‘s heart that likes Tae-woong and their chemistry.

In episode 13, Kang-joo heard from Tae-woong about his misdeeds toward Da-rim. Kang-joo misunderstood that Da-rim had told Tae-woong about the unforgettable night they had together 8 years ago, and continued their chemistry as enemies by hurting Da-rim. Although Da-rim showed a cold side to Kang-joo, she felt grateful to him for helping her do her job better the next day. The chemistry between the two, who go back and forth between benefactor and enemy, heightened the interest in their story that will unfold in the future.

● Kim Jung-hyun confesses to Geum Sae-rok

Kang-joo, who had a conflict with Da-rim’s older sister Lee Cha-rim (played by Yang Hye-ji), was comforted by Da-rim. Kang-joo was deeply moved by Da-rim, who followed him instead of going to Cha-rim, and soon confessed his unrequited love to her. When Da-rim heard this, Kang-joo felt a strange thrill when she neither accepted nor rejected his feelings. Da-rim, who gradually came to realize that Kang-joo is a good person, and Kang-joo, who gradually fell for her, raised expectations for a rosy romance in the future. The chemistry between the two, who are giving excitement and joy to viewers, is drawing attention to whether they can lead to the ‘Gangrim Couple’ in the future.

Episode 15 of ‘Iron Family’ will air on the 16th (Sat) at 8 PM.
