Tastefully Yours

From the start, you’ve got this crazy chemistry between Beom-woo, the super intense executive, and Yeon-joo, the simple chef with such a beautiful aura. The story literally hugs you it’s not just a pretty romance, it’s one of those dramas where you feel like you’re in the restaurant, smelling the food and watching the characters heal. Ha-neul looks stunning, super kind and a bit clumsy but with that huge heart that steals yours in every scene.

The best part is the little group that forms Chun-seun and Myung-suk, wow, what a duo! I loved them together; I feel like there should’ve been more than friendship there, hehe. Overall, the four of them make you feel like you’re part of their crew.

No doubt the sweetest moment is when they’re all together in the food truck such an inseparable little family.

Not everything’s perfect though the ex in Japan part threw me off and felt totally unnecessary, they dragged the story too much. Also, the sabotage and fire plot was over the top and kinda unbelievable, honestly.

It’s a cozy drama, totally worth it, left me wanting more, and of course, Kang Ha-neul looks incredible as always 😌

Loved the Plot, Recipe, and Chemistry between actors

Firstly, I absolutely loved Kim Shin-rok in this. it was a treat seeing her in a less serious & villainous role. The Chemistry between her and Yoo Su-bin was my favorite! I must say Yoo Su-bin has a way of making you dislike him at the start of every drama he is in but slowly becomes your favorite supporting actor as the drama progresses. I love that he cries in most dramas too. I just love him! I think that casting Go Min-si and Kang Ha- neul was a great call. I want to see more of Min-si in soft dramas like this. I love that they didn't make her all aegyo because that isn't her style at all. This role really suited her and I throughly enjoyed how Kang Ha- Neil's character complemented that. I must say, I did not think I'd enjoy this the way I did! I enjoyed the cooking and the storyline. Also, if Bae Na-ra plays another villain type role I will permanently dislike him lol

A warm meal for your life !

I'll try to keep my review precise
1. The chemistry between the leads is effortlessly amazing , It was my first time seeing the fl and she is so freakin beautiful and such a great actress. I love Kang Ha neul and he did not disappoint at all
2. The Jungjae group's camaraderie was perfect !
3. All the actors shine brightly and the emotions are portrayed so well
4. The simplicity of the series wins over everything , also the food and the process of its preperation and presentation everything was such a pleasing sight .
5. Some special appearances are bound to make you smile
6. Although the ending felt rushed but it was realistic as well since there were only 10 episodes and in order to show the progression of the story it felt fair since all the arcs were covered till the end . I did not have any complaints except for the fact that the last episode could have a few more romantic moments of the leads since I love them together!!
7. The way they rolled the end credits in the last episode with a message from each person of the cast and crew was so sweet !

Strong premise, lackustre finish

Tastefully Yours had all the ingredients for a delightful Netflix binge: food as a passion and love language, personal growth, cultivated friendships, and an enemies-to-lovers arc served with a side of comic relief. The premise was fun and promising. For the first two-thirds of the series, it mostly delivered. Add in vicious sibling rivalry and a Machiavellian, conniving matriarch, and things were sizzling nicely.

Alas, somewhere along the way, the scriptwriters must have taken a wrong turn. The final third was ridiculously off-course: a meandering, tedious detour through a landscape of improbable scenarios, minor plot holes, and the kind of detour that makes you wonder if someone misplaced the original script! It does eventually limp back onto the right track in the final 100 metres, but by then, the damage is done. A happy ending, yes – but certainly not a satisfying one.

The lead characters were likeable, and the actors brought charm to their roles, even if the romantic chemistry was more simmer than sizzle. Overall, it was light and entertaining. Given the (dumb) final stretch, I’m also glad the series was (mercifully) short.

Falls Short to its potential

To be honest as the title said I was hoping to be it a more food drama than a melodrama. It's not bad at all. This series has all the right ingredients, it started also very good for first few episodes but later it went downhill and it didn't reach expectations at the end.

The Chemistry between the ML and FL was a blend of spices both did a good job. and when it comes to supporting cast, I was fascinated by the 2nd FL who's character was a 180 degree turn to the character she played in Undercover High School series but on s personal note she should have been give more screen time and according to their potential the script didn't do justice to them. The business plot was dull and sometimes I wondered how did they become so successful with the mindset that they were currently displaying!

Ironically, the supporting cast outshined them in my eyes, bringing more energy and a certain depth to their roles even though the writing didn't help them.

Overall, it tried hard to explore healing and purpose through food, but faded its first half is brisk, sweet, and full of flavor, but the second half meanders.

Still, there’s no denying the aesthetic appeal. The food sequences are beautifully shot, almost distractingly so. The visual language of food and care is a strength that the drama returns to again and again.

It will make you hungry!

After watching Culinary Class Wars I have been interested in food-related shows. So this drama came intrigued me from the get go.

The beginning of the drama was tbh a bit slow. It started to get interesting when they had the food festival competition. After that a lot of interesting things happened that kept me wanting to watch the next episode. I liked the Sapporo episodes too although the fight in the hospital scenes were a bit too much!!!! But after the recipes got stolen I was a bit disappointed and mad. I imagined it to turn out totally different. I had wished Beom-Woo would have told the Diamant judges that the recipes were stolen and created a showdown. Instead he just started to sulk. He couldn’t even properly tell Yoon-Joo that it wasn’t him who stole the recipes!!!! IT WAS FCKING YU-JIN!!!!! Like just the fact that this whole Yu-Jin mess was not clarified, also with Choon-Seung and how he got locked up, made me feel really mad and frustrated.

And then they had a cook-off in the end which was rather underwhelming…
The mother was really annoying too. Even the cold-hearted brother Sun-Woo changed into being good in the end but the mother was still being a heartless sucess monger.

So to sum up, The beginning was slow, the middle was fast-paced and exciting, the end was a let down.

My favorite scene was when the actor from Lovely Jogger enters the restaurant (played by Park Ji-Hoon aka the main lead of Weak Hero Class) And Choon-Seung goes like “Wait a minute, which high-school did you go to? 😂😂😂😂 It was SUCH an obvious reference to Weak Hero Class I was cracking upppp!!!! Best scene in the drama for sure!

I think it’s a nice little watch with only 10 episodes.

It's not a must watch but it's reallyy good!!

I recommend you this one but it is not that good so it is not a must watch. If you are the one who is interested in these restaurant or cooking type of kdrama then this one is perfect for you and a bit spice of love in it.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

The female lead is a owner of a restaurant but that restaurant is very underrated but their food is very delicious. There is this male lead who is also a owner of a restaurant and their restaurant is very famous in the whole in the whole city but their food quality is getting worse day by day. Then he found the female lead restaurant he asked her to cook him some delicious food and he tasted it and went in heaven. So he asked her to give her recipes to him and then her restaurant will be famous too liek they made a deal but she didn't agree on it because she wanted to do it on her own. Then he left his company and joined her to start and earn some profits and his intention towards her restaurant was not wrong it was completely right to put in efforts more that she is been doing from many years and now earn profits now. They also hired two people from their neighbourhood so they would help them.


When there he used to work at his company there was a chef who used to like him and he know it then people who were working at the female lead restaurant used to call her his ex gf but she was not so she was resigned from his company and joined the male lead brother's company. The character of his brother is shown as a negative character he used to not treat a well the girl who used to like the male lead. That girl came to that restaurant in which the female lead is the owner of she went there and said he is trying to trap you and will steal your recipes. Both male lead were falling for each other until that girl said this and the female lead started having trust issues from him. Then when everything was going good and she trusted him again. The female lead actual EX came and he wanted to say that her ex and she used to work in the same restaurant so he came to say that let's go again and work together but she refused but she went to her hometown france and his ex also went their because he also lives their and the male lead was getting jealous and insecure so he also went their.

Then in the end they came together and it's a happy ending.

LET'S RATE IT:-

1. Story - The story was not thsy good according to me it was just too rough and not that good actually but it is worth watching you can try if you are bored or something if you don't have something to watch.

2. Acting - Whatever the story is and how good or bad the drama was but the acting every actor or any side actor nailed it and gave their best.

3. Music - It was also reallyy good and on point adjusting to the moment.

4. Rewatch Value - As I told you earlier it was not that good so I prefer to not rewatch it , it will be more boring.

So it's upon you that if you wanna watch this one or not for every drama I recommend you guys and make you convince but this one is like if you wanna you can it's good and if you don't wanna then don't benefit in both.

Tastefully yours

It is good, light (mostly, cause two last episodes were rather on sad note) drama, I considered rating 8/10 because of last two episodes but in the end 7/10 seems fair. It gives a little Business Proposal vibe.
Plot is pretty simple and easy to follow, it would be good choice if you are looking for something light just because you prefer this genre or because you want something like that in the meantime for darker choices. Big advantage that episodes are only 1 hour long and there are only 10, it was perfect amount in my opinion.
My biggest problem was timing, like at the beginning I had hard time to follow how much time actuallu passed, other than that it was good. Note - mother is a b*tch (sorry not sorry), she should cared more about her family.
Characters/actors:
Go Min Si - my reason to watch this, but her character was not my favourite, it was better when we learn her past but still nowhere at the top, also I had really hard time to get used to her with bangs
Kang Ha Neul - at the beginning I thought that it will be the drama where I will dislike main character bbut he grew on me, his smile is contagious, I liked his development
Chemistry between main characters was good, I was happy with romance but - probably unpopular - I much more liked chemistry (potential) between KHN and Hong Hwa Yeon ( she stole a show a little in my opinion) - and now I need drama where they will play couple (some enemies or rivals to lovers)
Park Ji Hoon - cameo was great, especially with the fact that it was basically a little Weak hero class cast reunion - the last scene with Yoo Soo Bin was perfect easter egg.
To sum up, worth giving a chance.

Too Much Ingredients, Most of Them are Overcooked

This show is a right example of what would happen if you keep adding ingredients into the pot while cooking and forget that the stove is on: it's going to overcook. The first half of the show is just incredible! The plot, the characters, the set, even the shots of the foods and ingredients, as well as the cooking scenes. But then I don't know what hurt the writer's head mid-show, he begins to build a story on a pile of misunderstandings which is crap.

Starting with the Japan trip, this plot is extremely questionable. I can't get why Chef Mo feels responsible to make her past head chef eats well. And the way Beom-U follows her all the way to Japan, it ticks the Makjang box! How the hell does Beom-U able to find Chef Mo in such big city of Sapporo? Also remember: THEY ARE BROKE. But somehow they are able to afford two round-trip tickets, another round-trip ticket to pick a jug of doenjang, and fresh-premium ingredients for the head chef's diet. Also I don't get the problem between Chef Mo and her ex. She stepped up for her ex and resigned from her position, let's assume she did it because she was blinded by love. I don't think that's enough reason for her to resent him. What's actually going on never shown on screen. Maybe the only purpose of the Japan trip is a kiss in the middle of Sapporo street.

All of those irrelevant premises then mixed by a series of countless stupid misunderstandings which is frustrating. They also keep adding unecessary plots such as the arsonist and the temple trip. I mean with such short number of episodes, they should have to be more focus with Jungjae and Hansang! The final cooking showdown is no less ridiculous! How come the PD obeys Chairman Han all the way? He is just fine when the Chairman twisting the showdown result! The show then wrapped with some questionable endings, as expected. What happen to Motto then, when you especially say that "you need to think about my people who work at that restaurant"? At the end of the day, they forgot the soul of this show. The very last cooking in the final episode has neither cooking scenes nor eyepleasing shots of the foods.

The only positive side of this show is the comedy is totally unexpected. I never thought such exhilirating comedy will come out from a show like this. I can't unsee it now, I really want to laugh everytime I see Kang Ha Neul's face. Go Min Si does a great job playing a self-driven chef (only if the character personality stays the whole show, because it doesn't). ML and FL don't have childhood relationship, which deserves a round of applause for a K-Drama in 2025.

It will be difficult to cook too much ingredients in one pot. Some will be good, others may be undercook, the others may be overcook. This show has a premium raw ingredients, but only some of them are well cooked. Watch this show if you just want to enjoy a great comedy and can bear a meaningless story.

sadly it didn't hit as it should have

beautiful cast. perfect chemistry. great great start of plot and first episodes. incredible originalità in the plot. complex and realistic characters. villains with vulnerabilities. character development for each one of them. beautiful visuals. but... the plot did not make it. it started so well and promising and then went into this weird spiral which was not meant for a 10 episode show... i still got attached to the characters and place so I think 8 it's very safe to give. But sadly I stopped enjoying after ep 6
5, I wish they either gave it 16 episodes (then keeping all the drama/sub plots would make sense), or they should have get rid of some thing. it felt rushy and too filled. we lost the chemistry and the beauty of cooking and the slice of life feeling of the first episodes.

I really love food.

I have to start for this the last cameo was epicccccccccc, I was scream like a little girl but seriously i think this drama made grow up to all the leaders caracters except the mom they all have an evolution and start notice who was really important. Enjoy. Tengo que empezar por decir esto el cameo final fue épico, estaba gritando como una adolescente pero en verdad creo que en este drama hizo crecer a todos los protagonistas excepto la madre de los chicos, ellos sobre todo comienzan a evolucionar y empiezan a darse cuenta que es lo realmente importante. Disfruten porque no es el típico drama.
