Movies, then? No one suggested any for you. Surely you can power through 90 minutes or so? :D
Again, these are not so much recs as a list of ideas. I have not seen any of them.
I did also think of one more drama that no one mentioned and I have no idea how I forgot it, since it was my first kdrama ever: Gourmet (based on the same manhwa as Le Grand Chef, the movie listed above). I can say I liked it a lot at the time, but who knows how it would hold up now, lol.
