Intense Romance and Rediscovered Love in KBS 2TV's 'Love: Track'

Actress Kim Ah-young stars alongside Moon Dong-hyuk in a romantic storyline in the second track 'Love Hotel' of 'Love: Track'.

On October 17, the 2025 KBS 2TV drama project 'Love: Track' aired its episodes 'Love Hotel' and 'The Night the Wolf Disappeared', exploring the essence of love through couples in crisis.

'Love Hotel' opens with a tense tango between Hari (played by Kim Ah-young) and Dong-gu (played by Moon Dong-hyuk), set against the backdrop of a motel with a chilling atmosphere. The tension escalates as the killer, Kyu-han (played by Yang Dae-hyuk), is revealed hiding in the motel. Seeking shelter from a sudden downpour, Hari and Dong-gu mistake Kyu-han for the motel manager, leading to a conflict fueled by suspicion over the red substance on his cheek.

The situation becomes urgent when Hari and Dong-gu realize the presence of the killer from noises upstairs. A pivotal moment occurs when Hari discovers Dong-gu's true feelings for her through his notebook, prompting a reflection on the love overshadowed by their long-term relationship's monotony. Hari activates the fire alarm to fight back, and together they move in perfect sync, like a tango, to subdue the killer.

The subsequent episode, 'The Night the Wolf Disappeared', follows zookeeper couple Dallae (played by Gong Min-jung) and Daegang (played by Lim Sung-jae) as they confront unresolved feelings while searching for an escaped wolf. As they track down the wolf, they confront past grievances and unspoken truths, leading to a complex emotional journey.

When they finally encounter the wolf, the couple reveals their fears and concerns for each other. Dallae informs Daegang of the wolf's possible pregnancy, triggering his guilt over his perceived failures towards his family and the animals. Despite the wolf's threat, their banter adds humor amidst the tension, culminating in an ending that emphasizes the message: 'The essence of love is revealed in the most precarious moments.'
