    I started watching this drama because I read the fantastic reviews people wrote here about it, so I started really exciting, expecting something like Coffee Prince meets the kitchen, but I got something really different.



    This is a great drama, the characters are great and I loved that it actually did have a lot about food because a lot of dramas, like You're Beautiful, Only You and Heartstrings are about a certain subject but you never get to actually see the writers exploding that.



    The thing that really bothered me about this one that made me not like this drama so much was the female lead. She had no personality whatsoever, always letting everyone push her around, even her love     read more

    I loved this. I was 1/2 in love with Lee Sun Gyun after Coffee Prince but Pasta has sealed my fate. He is such a great actor. I love it when a facial expression can say more than words and he's really perfect at that skill. Chef Choi is a complex man and at times, very tough to take. Lee Sun Gyun made him lovable as well. Gong Hyo Jin did a great job. Her character is strong, talented and ready to break out. I liked how their romance brought out the best in each other. Pasta is great fun to watch. For me, it's up there among my favorites. I give it an 8 because the plot was lacking but I think the chemisty between read more

  • Both stories are about a young girl who is inexperienced and is tutored by someone who is a master at the craft and then she falls for him. Both dramas have the same feel although one is about food and the other about writing.

  • In both dramas they deal with food and romance.

      I've just finished an episode, which I saw accidentally on TV, and I plan to watch forth, despite the dub...it's so weird watching a korean drama with hungarian dub. De miért is írok angolul? :D
    • anglachelle 6 days ago
      Heeey, neigbours :-D I envy you that your TV stations actually air Asian dramas. I had not known until I mentioned Jewel in the Palace and my friend (who is Hungarian, too) knew of what I was speaking about. :-)

    I dropped this show because Lee Sun Gyun's character toward the female lead made me angry as hell, lol. I know its fake, but Asian shows dont really show the "weaker" character development or fighting back.
  • educto1 Jan 11, 2013
    FIve reasons why I still continue to watch it:

    1. Philip
    2. Effective chemistry
    3. Kitchen Assistant
    4. LSG (natural-born actor)
    5. the way LSG talks and walks... Gawd, need I say more? SEXINESS OVERLOAD.

    Lee Sun Gyun is really good looking in this drama. This drama is great. I am on my second time through. The chemistry between the leads was great and the romance development was perfect. Loving it!

    Like another viewer on here, I dropped this drama after watching the second episode. I did this unwillingly because I realized that the actors were good (I have seen them before) and being Italian I was extremely interested in the 'food' part of the story. However the sexist aspect on here really upset me and most of all the way Gong Yyo Jin reacted (or should we say didn't react) to all the ill treating that she went through was really too much to bear. Having read the reviews I am aware that the story will improve in next episodes but I am not willing to witness any more humiliations just for the sake of love between the two main leads or career advancement of one of them.

    It was nice to see a kdrama where the male interests (as there always has to be two, right?) weren't complete dicks to the female leads. Yes, they are still a bit chauvinistic, but no where near as bad as in most rom/com's I've seen come out of Korea.
  • ylisse Jul 6, 2012
    I love it! This made me smile a lot. The special was fun to see too. There's a scene that Seo Yu Kyung was the head chef and Choi Hyun Wook becoming the cook, it's hilarious.
  • omnichelle Jun 6, 2012
    I love Lee Sun Gyun with undying affection, but I sure hated this drama. This drama made me seriously question women's lib in Korea. Pretty much all the men in this drama are sexist, arrogant idiots.

      I only just finished episode 2 so I haven't made up my mind about the drama yet and my opinion is not defending it, but I think that the dramas that show us problems within the Korean society are the ones that are more meaningful. There are many people -not just in Korea- who have their own opinions about what a woman should or shouldn't do and seeing how wrong they are makes us think. Anybody who has seen Yoo Kyung trying to become a chef and how hard she's trying to accomplish that would definitely feel the unfairness of it all when she's brushed aside because of her gender. So I think the point of this is not to just serve some plot, but also to show the wrongness of those kind of stereotypes. :)

      Dramas that show us problems in Korean society, yet offer a SOLUTION are the ones that are bold and meaningful. This is not one of those dramas. This drama just shows us a weak and spineless woman in an unfair situation, being thrown about like a wet dish rag. Not very inspiring, nor is it my idea of a good time.

      But maybe it will be for you! Have fun! :)

      I read a lot of comments how this show is sexist and all. However, before I read those comments it didn't occur to me it was sexist. Maybe it was too explicit on the whole male domination, but it's pretty true in life that there is male domination. Just look at some statistics and you'll see that most jobs of power are occupied by males. So, to me this show was not about that. This show was about a guy who fell in love with a subordinate and who struggled to make piece with that. The female lead did whatever it took to get to her goal (btw, in just as spineless way as do many people in say finance industry)
      I also really dislike the female's personality, but it seems typical in Korean dramas.
  • cityhunter83 May 20, 2012
    i REALLY liked it,but felt like there wasnt much romance considering the fact that Yoo Kyung and Chef were together for half the show. you get a couple of hugs and one or two decent kisses, but that's it. :(
