I saw the first episode and I was not that impressed. If this series is going to be about the pressures of being in the culinary industry and some cooking contest to determine the next top chef, then they better come up with some interesting story lines.
And all the characters seem flat and generic — the seasoned perfectionist veteran, the bumbling yet charismatic newcomer, the jealous experienced chef who feels he should be in charge. Hope it gets better. Can anyone tell me is the love story messy?
I read from a chinese website which i think is call krdo or something. I hope the DVD come to Singapore as soon as possible…. KRW was the first Korean actor I ever fall in love with.. Hope that chemistry between the 2 lead is great…. These guys are soo fast on korean dramas. The rare exception to this rule is Kim Rae Won! Every since I watch him in the movie Plum Blossom I been hooked. He a great actor and Hot!.
If you every watch any of Shaw Brothers martial art movies, you know what I mean when I said that Kim Rae Won remind me of the the the vemon who played the toad he was hot also. Any way back to my review love this drama, Kim Rae Won and Nam Sang Mi played off each other very well, I wish it was more romance between them because the chemistry was great. A most watch drama, the food look del-cious!
I recommend to all of u to watch if anyone of them is Kim Rae Won fans. His acting skill has grown immensely and I am very much impressed by his choice of movies or dramas. There is this scene on this drama on his father death which is a much to watch. The way he delivered the scene was just to awesome. I dun have the eng sub but u can find the video here.
I just finish eps. I love KIm rae won….. I accidentally watch an episode of Lovers in Harvard and from that moment on……I checked the net on Kim rae won…. I intentionally got all his dramas and movies in DVD such as my little bride, Gourmet, my patzzi girl,which star are you from and what I really love the most is Attic Cat……Hope u visit Philippines….
Im your avid fan myles….. Help… Tnx…. And the couple turns out to be outstanding and perfect match for each other. Their chemistry is so strong and lively, hope they could fall for each other for real. And I wish there are more romance between the two. It should be fun for the two naive, straightforward and funny Sung Chan vs clumsy yet adorable Jin Soo to be in more romantic scenes.. The relationship is purely sincere and wholeheartedly. We can feel the bond between them even they are not related by blood.
It should at least shows how at last Sung Chan resume his rightful position to lead Uhn Ahm Jung after Bong Joo left for his lesson mission. And he should propose properly to Jin Soo too no jokingly.. Aja ja faiti!.. He is really good actor.. Click on my nick — Korean DVDs for a list of er…. Korean DVDs with excellent English subtitles….

Yes No Cancel. Or something. Also, I presume that with Bong-joo and Sung-chan both leaving, Min-woo has taken command of the everyday administration.
Gourmet has been a pleasant series for me to watch, with some notable highs but mostly comprising a stable run. Yes, a very high-profile, high-class restaurant, but still, a restaurant.
Or how a food competition was given life-or-death battle treatment. But in the long run, I put those issues aside, perhaps because I knew the series had been adapted from a manhwa, where such exaggerations are embedded into the storytelling style. Or rather, I should say understated. In fact, it has occurred to me regularly that Gourmet might have seemed insufferably cheesy if not for the subtle but strong acting of Kim Rae-won.
For instance, take the beginning of this episode, when Sung-chan gives up hope. Your email address will not be published. I liked Attic Cat, but it gets a little repetitive. I would love to read your recaps of it though! Thanks for the recaps and if you're serious, Attic Cat would be great. I loved how his character did not learn his lesson in that series but you loved him anyway.
Hi Sarah, thanks for the recap. Attic Cat is my second favorite after I watched Full House. I liked it because of the rom-com formula and not so much on Kim Rae Won's acting. But you can see from there the makings of a great actor too bad that he has to do military duty this year. However, like all other award-winning actors today, I think Rae Won started with a porn-themed movie "Plum Blossom". I assume that he wanted to depart from it so much, which led him to honing his acting skills. Have a wonderful day.
Do a classic recap by all means! I actually had the urge to go back through some of his filmography too. Thanks for recapping this. Freaky, I just rewatched Attic Cat last weekend for the first time in 3 years and still love it. Although I forgot he was such a pig in it. Either that or My Love Patzzi, which are both great light fun, would be great for a classic series recap.
I know I'm in a minority of about one, but I actually like Love Story in Harvard, I just mute the screen everytime he speaks English and it works a lot better. I really love the ending of this series, which proved it was more than worthy of being watched. I think it was the 3rd K-drama that I watched that made me more interested in K-dramas. It was a fun series to watch. I abhorred Love Story in Harvard You didn't like it? How come? For some reason my comment got reposted after editing.
Anyway, I hope at least one of the two comments shows! Attic Cat was THE drama that roped me into korean dramas, it wasn't the first drama I watched, but it was the one that sealed my affair. So I am in more than one way indebted to KRW. I agree with everything you said about him: he becomes his characters, and his acting is so natural and free that you believe it completely.
While Which Star may not be on many's favorite lists, and it was definitely not the best drama, I still enjoyed it because I enjoyed watching the transformation of KRW's character in the series, done so excellently. He managed to act ten years older, but without make up or anything, just by the way he carried his character.
He makes me cry in poignant scenes, and when he laughs, you just have to laugh too! I will so join in on Attic Cat re-watching. Invisibelle and I were recently talking about it and thinking of going back and reliving those episodes. It would make me miss Jung Da Bin, though. But KRW was fantastic in the series, especially when you realize that it was a big jump for him to play a role so different from his own personality.
Thank you for recapping Gourmet! You are awesome, and I really enjoyed your additional comments with every episode! Thank you, Sarah for your hard work and dedication!
Your insightful and witty summaries are always a pleasure to read! Thanks so much for the recaps, Javebeans! I'll probably never watch this series, but it was fun reading along and getting to experience the drama in that way.
Attic Cat was one of the first dramas I ever saw, so it would be lots of fun if you chose that to recap. It would be pure nostalgia. Love Attic Cat. He is wonderful in Snowman, too, though. I've seen all his dramas going way back to the teen dramas Me Na and School 2, and Attic Cat and Snowman are still my favorite works of his.
My love patzzi is my favorite of all his dramas. Its short only ten episodes and fun and also has Kim jae won and jang nara! Thanks for the recaps I really enjoyed reading your take on the drama. I just love KRW full stop! Attic cat is a favourite of mine epecially when I'm off work sick!
I would like to see Snowman and Life is Beautiful. Any one know where I can view these? Your blog is the best! It's a must view for me every day. Thanks for your time and hard work, it's much appreciated. I'd go for my love pattzi, thanks for the recaps. This is the 2nd drama i've finished solely by relying on your recaps.
The first was chilwoo, then this. When the dvd's with subs come out, i don't even know if i'd bother watching, you've given such nice recaps that I wouldn't really mind not watching the drama itself except perhaps if its Kang Ji Hwan. Thanks again. BUT i truly like Gourmet. And that makes you root for him all the way! I'd go with Attic Cat, myself. Love Story in Harvard? Oh my god. Sometimes the titles end up turning me away from a drama. Attic Cat is one of my all time favorite K-Dramas Both of them were so good here..
Sarah, I'll save your recaps of Gourmet and read it when I finally start watching it. I loved Attic Cat and will certainly look forward to reading your recaps. Please, pretty please Attic Cat was one of the first few Korean dramas that I watched that got me addicted to the genre!!
