El sabor de lo nuestro

I don't like the male lead's character at first because it was too oberwhelming for me. However, as the episodes go on, I begin to like him. I just love how funny the characters are, and how stubborn they are together. Everything in this drama is in balance, so far. Everything is blended well. I really love the vibe that this drama makes me feel. The actors really fit the characters as if they were tailored to play those roles. The female lead is just so pretty and likeable. I hope that this drama won't fall short until the last episode. Kudos to the team who cooked this drama, and to Netflix for serving us a tasty treat this month!

Was a cute, fun show. All his expressions were so great. Can we predict some of what's going to happen, yes, but we continue to watch Rom-Coms don't we?!. Being 'new' to KD, was so sad I didn't get the cameo significance in this show like I did watching Queen of Tears when Vincenzo shows up. I know it now and have another show on my watchlist. Love these cross-overs. Give it a go. It's a simple feel good show to pop on when not wanting anything complicated. Kinda like Hallmark Christmas movies, although better plot and acting, but an easy overall watch. Also enjoyed seeing some actor ranges... I just finished undercover high school and was not expecting the difference in characters.

Han Beom Woo (Kang Ha neul) is one of sons whose mother own a chain of high class restaurants. Her wish is to have a three stars ranking and the first of him and his brother who reach this ranking will own the chain.

His problems begin when he find another restaurant have a similar dish who he was planning to be the main dish to try to get the star. When he goes to the restaurant to try to reach a deal the restaurant turns out to be totally different from what he imagined.

The owner Mo Yeon Joo (Go Min si) is a stubborn young chef who cares more about of quality of ingredients than the profits.

The iteraction between Han Beom Woo and Mo Yeon Joo is hilarious and could be the plus in this series.

The cast is good, but the story failed to draw me in. A stubborn heir of a premium class restaurant chain using dubious means to get star ranking meets a honest, yet equally stubborn chef creating outstanding dishes. So far the plot follows the enemy to lovers line with some lovely bantering. There are mouth watering glimpses into high end Korean food, natural ingredients and their manufacturing. Besides there is jealousy and treason.

It could also be my actual mood, but I found the story somewhat flat and found myself fast forwarding through the scenes, skipping dialogues and never had the impression of missing out on important details. The script follows outworn paths without much surprise. The shortened version is nice enough though, but not immersive (there are shows I keep on rewinding in order not to miss any details).

Usually, I don't continue to watch if the first episode can't connect with me. But, this show kept me fully focus. Must watch. The cast members had done great job and I personally felt that everyone gave their best in this project. I love this show and the idea. Because, I wanna learn cooking and this is the perfect show to boost me to learn and to keep me motivated for cooking. The chemistry bw the actors is already top notch without any doubts. The location, sets, views, the style everything is on the point. This is the best show of the 2025 I'll be watching again. Netflix has done great job by producing this show.
