Dinner Mate

I didn't expect too much when I started watching the series but I ended up enjoying it very much. I actually looked forward to catching the new episodes every Mondays and Tuesdays. The love story between the 2 leads is heartwarming and the drama deserves higher ratings in my opinion.

Well, I'm at the last episodes of this k-drama which made me laugh many many times. And towards the end i'm laughing about the ridiculously melodramatic situations. They have probably all the cliches of traditional k-dramas, but since I was watching so good ones, this is quite a new sensation. But also very relaxing. They are suffering, and I'm laughing at loud. But it is ok, it is also what I need now. So, if you need a Korean telenovela, this is your show. Important to say is, that I can continue watching and in this way enjoying the show because of the good acting, nice clothes and perfect skins :) So, as I say, all the cliches together. And I'm writting this with a smile in my face: so, 'Dinner Mate'.... mission accomplished!

I've been waiting to see the beautiful Seo Ji Hye in a leading role in a series. So far it's a fresh and different enough show that has surprising and spontaneous humor. The chemistry between her and Song Seung Heon is good and that is what counts. They look good together. She plays a TV producers who is dumped and he plays a psychiatrist. Food is a theme. CLOY fans will be happy to see a cameo from Kim Jung Hyun aka Alberto Gu. A couple of faults. The contrived obstacles and obsessive exes get repetitive. 12 episodes would have sufficed.
