I should probably eat right now.
At the moment I am hungry. Not only for food, but for more episodes of this drama. I'm a big fan of Park Jihoon so I decided to tune in when the cast was announced.
This drama is a comedy, not too intense of a watch compared to Jihoon's other projects. And that's ok with me! I like watching actors do all sorts of different roles and projects, and Legend of the Kitchen Soldier is no different. It's fun to watch, but one thing I'll comment about Jihoon's characters is that 9/10 times the guy is going to play someone depressed. Even with that being the case here, it's not a dark drama, his character is likeable enough.
I'm not getting anything too stellar here. Everything pretty much delivers as it should.. it's neither too amazing.. definetely not bad at all though. It's pretty hard when I compare this to Jihoon's other dramas, Weak Hero is one of my favorite dramas ever. If you come for that, don't- come for a drama that's entertaining, fun, and makes you hungry. I was surprised with how they push the comedy, and only worry about tonal issues later on in the series if they bring up a deep plot point. I wish this would be more episodic like Trauma Code, but it's ok that it's not. Here this drama is standard, not doing anything new, but not offensive. So I'll say it's average and move on with it.
It's good enough I'm keeping up as it airs though! I'm just happy to be getting more projects from Jihoon.
