The show is set in a small town in South Korea and revolves around the love story between a high school student, Park Seo-jin (played by Moon Ga-young), and a man, Kim Seung-joon (Yeo Jin-goo). The show is set to air on October 25th.
Noh Da-hyun is a detective who is investigating the abduction of Gye-hoon’s sister. He and Gye-hoon share a connection that takes them back to the last time they felt this connection. They are able to find out what happened to their sister and they are able to forgive each other.
Since his twin sister was killed, Gye-hoon has realized what she was going through and comes to terms with the fact that she is dead. He sets out to look for his lost sister while his mother often blames him for not looking after her.
Noh Da-hyun, the woman who Gye-hoon lost touch with years ago, has resurfaced and is now living in Gye-hoon’s hometown. Gye-hoon wonders why she has come back and what connection she has to him. He loses his job as a chef and sets off to open his own restaurant in his hometown; the place where he grew up and where his sister was abducted.
Just across his site is another restaurant owned by Da-hyun and her ‘suspicious’ family. She is raised by her single mother and grandmother. While in University, Da-hyun is a part-timer who is stalked by a boy – Jin-geun. The stalking gets so obsessive that one day, Jin-geun follows her around to her restaurant to attack Da-hyun for turning him down.
In the first episode of “The Jin-geun Murder Case,” Da-hyun kills her brother Jin-geun with a knife while her mother and grandmother help clean up the aftermath. They learn that Gye-hoon, the restaurant owner, placed the body in his place and has been feeling Da-hyun’s emotions since he realized she was connected to him. Gye-hoon starts to realize that there must be a reason why he keeps feeling Da-hyun’s emotions, finally understanding why he was linked to her after all.
The show is a normal-paced K-drama that does not have much spectacle about it other than the story. The narrative is largely about how the two characters are linked and over the course of the 16 episodes, we learn just that. The plot is interesting and tries to share a social message by following the lives of the people living in that town.
Despite all this, I am still not sure why the kidnapper did what he did and the lack of closure feels incomplete. The reality of women being stalked by men and the law not doing enough to protect them, certainly hurts. ..
Jin-geun was able to ruin Gye-hoon’s life and was on his way to ruin another’s. This proves that there needs to be stricter laws around stalking. Seeing Gye-hoon cook for Da-hyun every time she had a nightmare was soothing, and extremely romantic watching them fall in love over the food that they made and ate together.
Yeo Jin-goo is a treat to watch in the final few episodes of ‘Link: Eat Love Kill.’ The sheer passion with which he shared his heartbreak towards the man who had a chance of saving his sister but did not want to help, shows how talented Jin-goo is. ..
Despite the palpable chemistry between the main couple in “Murder,” it seems like Ga-young is still clinging onto Ju-kyung from “True Beauty” when I hoped to see a Soo-ji from “The Tempted” in this show about “murder.” The chemistry between the main couple is palpable, but the side couple of Won-take and Mi-joo takes the cake with their interactions in “Link.” ..
The way the two continue to protect each other had me swooning. The track, ‘Saying Hello’, is one of my favorites on the OST. It runs through the background during the scenes where Gye-hoon and Da-hyun have just started falling in love. ‘Pit a Pat’ by Seungkwan of Seventeen is an endearing love track that hits all the romantic bones and makes one want to fall in love.
MeloMance’s voice is unmatched and the main theme song from the OST of the show, titled “Link” sung by the band, just takes fans back to the romantic scenes from the series. Janet Suh’s “Unknown World” is morbid enough to send shivers down one’s spine and will likely send fans back to the chase scenes in the show or anytime Da-hyun was in danger. ..
The show is set in a world where love and hate are two sides of the same coin. The characters are both struggling with how to deal with their feelings, and the show does an excellent job of exploring these emotions. The plot is also interesting, and the show manages to keep its audience engaged throughout. While it may not be atypical, ‘Link: Eat Love Kill’ is a refreshing K-drama that hits all the right notes.
