Good start, fell to old tropes
Tastefully Yours was overall an ok show. Kang Haneul and Go Minsi both delivered good performances. The supporting characters were excellent as well, and really brought the comedy which was the strong point of this drama.
What’s so frustrating is this show’s flaws were so obvious and avoidable. I really liked that the story was centered about food/cooking which is interesting. But some parts of the drama were like playing snakes and ladders. If you get a good roll, it progresses but most of the time in the middle was a bad roll. Given that it's only 10 episodes long, I was left craving for more romance between the leads that I feel like it was forced at the end. There was just so much more to work with in regards to the evil conglomerate mother, the recipe stealing, the relationship between the two brothers, and the male lead's backstory... so much wasted potential sigh.
