Tastefully Frustrating
Tastefully Yours could’ve been a solid drama if it didn’t get bogged down by unnecessary drama, weak resolutions, and frustratingly poor communication between characters.
Han Beom U is the only character with actual development. Everyone else either causes problems or stalls the plot. His brother betrays him, pushes him out of La Lecel, then forces him back in — and the show never clearly explains why. It feels like conflict for conflict’s sake.
La Lecel is completely unrealistic. Fraud seems to be their business model, and it’s a miracle the place hasn't been shut down. Beom U could’ve reported them and ended everything, but instead, we get 10 episodes of avoidable nonsense.
Most conflicts could’ve been resolved with one honest conversation between Beom U and Jang Yeong Hye. Instead, we’re left with a cliché “You did all this to hurt me?” scene and an unsatisfying ending.
One cool moment is the Weak Hero Class 2 reference through a cameo by Park Ji-hoon, linking the two dramas in a shared universe. It’s a nice Easter egg and possible shared universe for fans of both shows.
There’s also a subtle nod to Lovely Runner with the mention of “Lovely Jogger” — a playful little Easter egg that fans of Lovely Runner will appreciate.
If you're looking for smart writing or emotional payoff, this drama won’t deliver. But if you don’t mind the frustration and clichés, maybe it’s worth a try.
