When a recipe loses balance
Tastefully Yours is a drama that starts out like a pretty well-prepared dish, but loses its proportions over time. The first half charms with its lightness and flavor, the second one unfortunately weighs down and drags on aimlessly.
The story maintains a really decent level until the fifth episode. The main couple was in the foreground, whose dynamics were based on a classic contrast of characters. Unfortunately, the ex-FL storyline harmed the plot, in short, it was unnecessary. The love triangle in this form ruined the plot's coherence and took away the strength of the previously well-outlined heroine.
The corporate intrigues were equally predictable. Sabotage, theft of recipes, and even arson were supposed to add drama, but unfortunately the effect is the opposite - the drama begins to toss between genres, as if it wasn't sure whether it wanted to be a warm story about love and food, or a melodrama overloaded with intrigue.
Not to mention the terrible translation.
On the bright side: KHN proves that he can carry a drama almost single-handedly – his acting is natural and coherent. It was his character and internal transformation that kept me going until the end.
You can't miss the brightest element of this production, the culinary scenes. They are not only visually beautiful, but also full of warmth. Culinary competitions, cooking together, dinners at the table – these moments carry real emotions and remind us what this drama was supposed to be from the beginning.
