The Chinese restaurant there was run by loan shark Doo Chil-Seong (Jang Hyuk), but the restaurant went out of business due to a lack of customers. Seo Poong decides to take over the restaurant and bring all the customers over from the hotel restaurant. His Chinese restaurant finally opens.

Meanwhile, Dan Sae-Woo (Jung Ryeo-Won) is a young woman who had a wealthy father. She was engaged, but her father was arrested on her wedding day and her wedding was cancelled. She is now poor. Thanks to Doo Chil-Seong, who fell in love with her at first sight, she begins working at the Chinese restaurant newly opened by Seo Poong.

Comments

wokup Apr 27 2021 2:51 am I agree with most reviewers in that Chil-Seong should have ended up with the girl. He is so much more likeable character and he openly liked Sae-Woo first. Seo Poong thinks too highly of himself and really comes across as a pompous pain in the behind who needs to learn to work with people. Although he does towards the middle episodes, Seo Poong is not as likeable as Chil-Seong.

I like cooking shows as I have a common interest in food and food is a great way to draw people into show's culture. I been craving Jajangmyeon while watching the show. And needless, to say, I like shrimp!

This is a light rom-com(romantic comedy) with some annoying characters... Seo Poong is too arrogant and Sai-Woo comes across too naive in the early to mid episodes. Things does get a little better towards the middle, but that's 20 plus episode people have to endure before the characters turn around. Also, I saw someone mentioned that they had to rush the last two episodes so the ending seems rushed.

seo pung Apr 18 2021 2:23 pm Acting lee junhoo totally good in this drama OMG i'm fell in love with lee junhoo character in this drama....ㅠㅠ

seo pung Apr 18 2021 2:20 pm I don't care what everyone say about this drama, this drama totally my scene. I 'm fell in love with seo pung and sae u.

Shaz Apr 14 2021 7:22 am Ahh pretty annoying and boring drama. Upto ep 14 now so I'll finish it as I'm too far committed, but i would say it's definitely below par. Jang Hyuk is an awesome actor and have seen him in many drama's, but he did an average job in this, i just couldn't heck him wearing sun glasses like alllllll the time,day and night, and when he took it off he had the same monotone face in every single scene with little emotion. On the other hand the lead actress seemed to be smiling in every scene,even the serious or sad one's, it was really weird. I think the lead actor did a good job,he wasn't too bad, he's character stayed consistent atleast. I wish they gave the other actor's more of a personality, like the rest of the gangsters, the poor guys just seemed to be there in the background all the time,and barely got much personal scenes, to maybe give it a more of a comedic background. The camera just kept focusing on the actress coz she's pretty,but it's not about the looks, it's the depth of the character that makes them attractive. Overall, storyline is nothing special or exciting, something to watch to pass time with. Oh and did i mention the poor horse?! He kept waiting for Sae-Wu to come back but she never did! I do hope she visits him eventually! He went from being her everything to him being completely non-existent in her life! The editing of the drama was weird, kind of jumped all over the place from time to time. Anyways, just my 2 cents...

Yani Apr 10 2021 9:53 am Entertaining Drama its just that the Main lead actor does not fit to be a lead, you would want Jang Hyuk more because of his acting and his mire likeable.. The Main lead lacks so may things..

Remy Mejares Apr 03 2021 9:05 am Anybody knows the music background used in all the cooking scenes?

potata Mar 16 2021 2:20 am tbh. idk what to say i have a love and hate relationship with this drama. i mean I am in love with the couple I just ahhhhh ahahahahahhaha lee joonho & Jang hyuk. Why were you not nominated as Best Couple??? hahahhahah

sensible viewer Jan 29 2021 12:53 am dramas story and love angle are boring and hard to tolerate as its same seen before specially as drama moves past 12 episodes out of 19 BUT the food cooking part is amazing,never will u see a show ,show cooking in such detail such extreme hardwork was put into it by production team ,for food part do watch. You will be amazed and awed.

syahada Dec 05 2020 6:27 am I love so much this drama and the character especially Seo Poong and I like the ending..I watch this because lee jun ho and jung ryeo won

Natsume Nov 03 2020 11:53 am i love this drama, tho i'm late watching this. but i love every episode. i love the chemistry of the 3 leads. and of course i like the character development esp chef poong. what i don't like is the ending, why did they cut from 40 episodes to just 38 episodes only? i want to see their wedding with buster present. and the 4th encounter between chil-seong and the doctor.

some people think this drama is annoying maybe coz they want jang hyuk to win the girl.*

Abby Oct 22 2020 7:47 pm I loved this drama alot,the chemistry between the leads is top notch.i lived every bit of the drama

Maine Sep 30 2020 12:30 pm I watched this because of Lee Junho ???

A K A R Aug 26 2020 3:09 pm Only reason I watched this drana was for ''Jang Hyuk''. And I loved this drama.

If you are expecting wars, politcs or fighting scenes than this is not it. This is all about relationship, buisness and food.

I never tought I will like a food drama, But I really enjoyed this. It reminds me of the japanes netflix anime called ''Food Wars''.

Anyway if you like Jang Hyuk, enjoy is awesome character as he enjoys restaurant drama and food. Love it!

Rose D Aug 25 2020 1:23 am Most annoying and boring kdrama..Hate the story... Lead actress is so frustrating to watch.. I just watch this because of Jang Hyuk.. Don’t even waster ur time.. Haist....

Anemicrainbow Aug 21 2020 5:24 am I have no idea why Jang Hyuk is just second lead.

Goodie2shoes Jul 16 2020 6:46 pm This has to be one of the most annoying Kdramas I’ve tried to watch. Well, I couldn’t finish it. From the helpless and ridiculously naive female lead to the yelling (angry), chauvinist chef to the type-casting Jang Huyk character and all the rest, this drama had no redeeming value. Geez. Don’t waste your time, especially if you are quarantining at home looking for something to watch. Move on. Next!

shork Apr 18 2020 10:45 pm sae woo's mom should've been written more clear and more mature

shark Apr 18 2020 10:43 pm the most dumbest written character here is gotta be sae woo eomma, i tried to like her tho but its a no-no her other character as chil seong's eomma is much more likeable than the other lol i just cant like her character its to selfish and dumb

shark Apr 18 2020 7:52 pm i super love everything except sae woo's mom lol she's too immature and childish, good thing her daughter's mature

Yu Apr 07 2020 7:31 am I am very dissapointed with some of the character especially Heroine's mom. Unreasonably greed and selfish from the first episode until the end.

But Jang Hyuk act save the drama. His action often make laugh so hard.

Michelle Apr 03 2020 4:48 am It needs season 2 where jung hyuk (doo chil seong) and lee jo kyung fell inlove!

Ellie Mar 13 2020 5:01 am This has got to be the dumbest drama I have ever watched. It’s over acted and ridiculous, but saved by the wonderful acting of Jung Hyuk and his gang of gangsters, there is nothing he can’t do this actor. He is helped by the timeless beauty Lee MinSuk, I always watch her and saw them together in Money Flower. Sometimes the young ones just can’t equal the stars of the past, they are consummate actors and able to adapt to any style or genre. I am only carrying on watching to see these two, the film is so stupid. Come on guys, you can do better than this! Chose young ones who can act.

Edel cabuang Jan 15 2020 11:00 pm Why its not finish you should have at least finish the episode or make a season 2 coz i love them

p.p. Dec 14 2019 5:55 pm Watching this drama/any drama i was trying to find out who were the Dark Triad people in it - it is not always easy to do that. Educate on youtube how to do that and distance because this people never change. They drive the good people to the edge. This is what in real life happens and real people die, so educate. Most of the people are actually not aware at all of what is going on and how it is done, so pay attention, educate. Spread this post on social media.

The news about Cha in-ha made me cry. Last year it was Jonghyun. There were also two beatiful ladies lately who ended like that and there are many more who suffer in silence. This has to stop. Educate youself on youtube. We can fight this all together by talking about it and being more open about it. Open your eyes and your ears, watch for signs, trust your gut only-it never lies.

kim taejin Nov 01 2019 7:17 am Oh My God!!!! I think the writer is extremely creative...

Look at their name.... it's so cuuuteeeeeeeeeee...

Love This Drama Soooo Much

p.p. Oct 16 2019 6:47 am Age is just a number, love is forever.

Studies have shown that 1/3 of the women have a younger boyfriend and or husband. Most of these men are 1 to 10 years jounger, but there are also men who are 15 to 25 years younger than the women.

In this drama and in some other dramas this fact is brought to light so it is not a stigma any more and people can feel free to do what they want.

So, there are in the real world almost as many couples where the men are younger as couples where the women are younger. That's normal, isn't it ?

If you are already an adult feel free to do what you really feel and want to do. There are no old or left over women or men, there is hope for all these people .

There are lots of chanses to be happy, to love and be loved for everyone at any age, at any time during this life .Go for it , love one more time , don't give up .

Script writers, actors thank you so much for bringing up this point to the public .

AJ Sep 21 2019 2:08 pm I love the two male leads, most of the cast. The romance was lukewarm until the end when it was playful, but still not very believable. Jang Hyuk is already an established, great actor, but he wasn’t used well. JunHo is even better in Rain or Shine and Confession; has a terrific future because he’s super gifted. Enjoyed much of the series but found the writing erratic especially in the final episodes. Really tired of intrusive mother figures, and this one is a dolt. Good series, but not great.

Efi Jun 20 2019 1:58 am I watched drama coz Jang Hyuk.... And just finished. I don't like character Dan Sae-Woo who is very childish and didn't care about Chil Seong feeling. And for Chil Seong who did everything, even he's has happiness with his mother, I think he must have happy love story as the others, but of coz not with Sae-Woo ? If there's season 2 I think it should be about Chil Seong Happy Love Story ?

p.p. Jun 06 2019 12:49 pm I really miss this drama :(( It would be nice to have WokOfLove2 when Junho is back. Maybe the script writer can show us what happens after they marry , show us the wedding and how they combine their working lives with having 1 or 2 chindren for instance. Please everyone give here more ideas so that it may come true. Junho we are waiting for you!

neptune Jun 04 2019 10:10 am I actually really liked the drama. It was fun and really made me laugh a lot. I just wish that we could see more of Chil Seong and the Vet. Also I guess no one realized that the gang of Chil Seong was 6 people at first but one of them (Gang Ho) stopped appearing all of a sudden? I couldn't understand why...

Fullheart5 Jun 01 2019 1:58 pm When the lead gal is actually nine years older than one of the lead guy’s, I kind of prefer that she go for the older lead guy.

Nina May 10 2019 5:40 pm I’m on episode 28 now, very interesting drama so far.

Ryu Samuël Mar 24 2019 4:03 pm At first I really liked the drama. It introduced the gangster Chilseong as the main love interest of the pretty lady Sae Woo and I really loved the way he fell in love with her. I did never consider Poong as her potential lover 'cuz he's always mean to her and her mother. But the way the drama switched the love interest from Sae Woo and Chil Seong to Sae Woo and Poong, I started to hate the drama. You all said that she and Poong have good chemistry? yes it may be true but not for me. It's so sad to see Chil Seong not having a chance to date the woman he really loves despite the fact that he was the one who did save them all. Chil Seong had to endure the pain seeing the woman he loves in the hand of the man he saved without being mean despite the fact he's a gangster. For me, he did deserve to be loved by Sae Woo and Poong deserved to get his ex-wife back to him 'cuz the promise he made to her dad. I skipped many parts of this drama 'cuz I was in pain for Chil Seong. It has the same plotline as "The best hit". I hate those kind of dramas...

Daylight Feb 25 2019 2:07 am This drama kept my interest from the first episode to the last. I felt like it was similar to other dramas but made in such a different and great and refreshing way. Such a unique storyline and amazing characters that meshed so well together. The chemistry was on point between the leads and even the second male lead. Overall, amazing drama. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! I like how they didn't focus so much on the leads ex's. Just enough so that we had an idea that they're out of the picture. Amazing amazing! I just have one last thing to say: SERVICE! :D

PPTT Feb 19 2019 10:35 pm I just hope Jang Hyuk and Jung Ryeo Won will have a chance to work in another drama. Their chemistry is just amazing. But still, nothing beats his chemistry with Jang Nara.

suju.chelle Feb 16 2019 7:51 pm I love this drama. The cast and the chemistry of the main characters are verY good and well suited for them. Another oppa ?

blah Feb 08 2019 6:20 pm the Drama is excellent, fun, Never a dull moment and the chemistry is just WOW. it made me fall in love with Chinese food.

am I the only one that thinks the male lead acts like Just Chang wook and jung ll woo?

ellie Feb 07 2019 12:45 pm It's very watchable. Maybe its the chemistry of the cast. Still, a strange, but a fun matchup of thugs and Chinese food in Seoul, no less. Good writing and quirky characters. Some of the characters I love hating so much. I'm growing fond of the main character. I just can't help myself but want to watch one more episode every night.

p.p. Jan 28 2019 5:32 am I liked this drama very much because of the fact that they showed that there are couples in real life where the man is younger than the woman and that this is not a problem at all, that it might even be an advantige. The love the couple had was pure and tender and they had a big harmony which is important for having a happy life. I think that this drama is going to be a classic. I watch it every day because of the good acting of the cast and the good atmosphere. I also learned some chinese cooking:) Love to everyone involved in it !

Takoyaki Jan 12 2019 12:06 pm 70% Romance, 10% Brotherhood, 10% Gang fights, 5% Advertisements, 4% Competitive Cooking and 1% for the goddamn horse that I wish they didn't add a voice if they'll just neglect the character midway.

All of them are so-so, not too good but not too bad. Especially for the most part, as I was expecting for the female (Sae-Woo) to lead between the 2 male characters.. but it felt like she was just supporting them.

If it's not your taste, don't try to binge-watch it.

ToniaB Jan 10 2019 3:06 pm The lead actor looks like park seo jeong. Yes yes yes

Diane Dec 14 2018 3:34 pm I am a big fan of the three leads, and found the kitchen scenes and food prep really amazing. I was excited about a great cooking show, with a decent Rom-Com atmosphere. Unfortunately, it took a huge slide just about half way through, with unnecessarily violent gang scenes, a sloppy adolescent romance, endless overdone kissing scenes and mauling each other, and an unbelievable, childish mother character that everyone catered to for no apparent reason. Top that off with a muzak-style kindergarten soundtrack, and 3 embedded Subway commercials, and there goes the slide to the bottom. Unfortunate.

Oti Nov 15 2018 6:31 am I really want chil-seong and sae-woo together. Im on episode 17 and it is already disappointing me. I don’t like that Jang Hyuk is playing second lead male character cause he really should be first. Please don’t fail me drama. I love Jung Ryeo-Won as an actress, but she’s disappointing me in this drama. Her character suppose to choose chil-seong not Seo Poong. Smh. And chil-seong is such a good and amazing character. Why not choose him? Smh. This is going to be the first drama I have second lead syndrome. Uhh!!!

Baran Nov 06 2018 6:16 pm Don't be fooled by the 38 episode number. It's only 30min each episode. Most Korean dramas are 20 episode with 1 hour each episodes. So this means Wok of Love is actually less than 20 hour.

I rarely recommend a good korean drama, but this one is very good. If you are a big fan of ''Jang Hyuk'' like me. Than you are going to love his role in this drama. Don't rundt episode 1 and 2. Watch both of them which is 30minut each. You will love it.

Jocelyn Kee Seok Choo Sep 30 2018 3:50 am I really enjoyed this drama. I love the chemistry between Seo Poong (Joon-Ho) and Sae-Woo (Ryeo-Won). I wish the producer has extended the the episode to 40. I just love Ryeo-Won acting. She is so cute in all the dramas she acted.

Goblok Sep 27 2018 10:33 pm Terible pace and writing but so in love with the couple. Damn they made me smiling all day

nadia Sep 10 2018 12:13 pm So many scenes in this drama made drama absolutely no sense. I loved the chemistry between Seo Poong and Sae Woo but that is all there is to this drama. Terrible directing. Just terrible. I've seen web series with better directing.

ChoiMichaela Sep 03 2018 6:09 am It's been a month since the drama end, and I still can't move on from Poong & Sae Woo's great chemistry, i usually dislike a drama with too many lovey dovey scene but these 2 are different, their acting is so real that I almost believe they are not acting. So in love with Sae Woo's character, she is so cute and pure. Been watching Kdrama for more than 10 years and my top three couple are : 1. Dan-Poong, 2. 20th century couple (Han Ye Seul & Kim Ji suk), & 3. fight for my way couple (Kim Ji won & park seo joon). I wish all of them become couple in real life.

Nolla Sep 03 2018 1:48 am Really good drama, actually i don't prefer cooking drama but this drama is full of heroes and characters that made me enjoy watching, really all the players are excellent

Nolla Sep 03 2018 1:46 am Really good drama, actually i don't prefer cooking drama but this drama is full of heroes and characters that made me enjoy watching, really all the actors are excellent

Gracia Macala Aug 27 2018 7:35 am The writer of this drama was the writer of Jealousy Incarnate (A MUST WATCH). i never doubted your talent, this is the best drama I watched in 2018 so far. More dramas from you Writer-nim please...

LINDA WEBER Aug 25 2018 11:43 pm Loved this show and was heartbroken when it ended! I wish I could see it from the beginning as I came in near the middle. I loved all of the characters. I am glad to see there was some resolution to some of the plot threads. Perhaps they will make another series where Seo Poong and Dan Sae-Woo get married and Doo Chil-Seong is the uncle to their children.

Disappointed Aug 25 2018 10:07 am I was very disappointed by this drama. I didn't like Sae Woo at all and skipped every part of the drama where she appeared. She was very disrespectful with Chil Sun and way too childish with Poong. Maybe it was because I was expecting a more mature drama, but this was just silly. Good for kids and teens maybe.

Drama expert Aug 18 2018 11:20 am I don’t understand all the negative reviews but I really liked this drama! It was funny and entertaining. I agree that the ending felt a little bit incomplete but it doesn’t ruin the whole drama. It was really a good watch if u like funny dramas.

Daniel Vu Aug 17 2018 2:43 pm This drama is disapointing. I come for food and cooking. But instead it is sloppy drama and very bad srcipt. The writer is lazy. And the dialogue is really like crap. And acting is not so good. Why actors dont know what is good script when they read. Everything falls apart so fast.

Babs Aug 16 2018 5:29 pm SPOILERS

This was to date the best drama ever. I'm so disappointed that it ended before it was really complete. It would have been nice to see Chil Seong with the Vet, and to see the mother's heart change towards Poong, and to see Poong and Sae Woo married. And last but not least, have their exes see how happy they are. Never the less, it was awesome; it would be so nice to just add one more episode. Awesome writing! Awesome cast! Just a bit incomplete.I have already watched it twice. It was the best!! Much Love to the whole production team.

ilvia Aug 13 2018 8:12 pm Can't really tell how I feel about this drama... But overall I think it was good. The plot is really absurd sometimes. I didn't like some of the characters but the leads were great. It's a good drama to watch if you're looking for something that will make you laugh. But, you gotta remember: the writer's imagination is no joke and you can sometimes fail to understand it! Seriously, it's fun to watch, the actors have great chemistry and the romance is really cute. I recommend to watch it if you're having a bad day or just want to laugh a little.

Maria Aug 09 2018 2:58 am I like the chemistry of the main leads but really Sae woo mother was the pitts. Hated her to nth degree. Lee Junho is soooo cute.

Mayi Aug 02 2018 6:18 am Omg. Poong and Sae woo's chemistry

Ninfia Jul 30 2018 10:40 am I like all 3 main leads, they are so perfect for this role. As for sae woo’s character I agree she is lack of development but I still love her cheerful personality, she is rich but not spoiled also she has great chemistry with both male leads. I ship her with Poong so hard, they deserve best couple award. Many people dissapointed because Sae Woo didn’t end up with Chil Seong but if she ends up with Chil Seong, I can’t imagine how lonely Poong character will become, at least Chil soong still got his gangster friends and his mother. I would choose to be with Poong if I were Sae woo because he is the type of man who can do anything to the woman he loves + he is a great cook. Please date in real life junho and ryeo won unnie

Picassoboii Jul 29 2018 11:29 am I can’t understand why mi sook can play 2 charactor in this serie. This serie is so fun. I ilke all.

Jondperries Jul 23 2018 11:59 pm I hate the character dan sae won.... And i also hate her hypocritizism on how she relate with the chil seng(thug boss)....the more i watch ,the more am pissed .....

Jondperries Jul 23 2018 9:15 pm Im still so so pissed with dis dramahad to skip to cheif kim since it dsame lead actor that acted it .... The storyline is annoying especially the relationship between sea won and poong and the thug boss cos ???

Chimmy's Eoema Jul 22 2018 3:54 pm I really really love this drama❤❤❤❤❤❤??????

Jondperries Jul 22 2018 12:23 am I have never seen a selfish woman like sae won....or y are all korean love drama like dis ....am on ep15 and i feel like quitting already ... I hope they do something bout their love thingy .....(lead actress always wanna be with bad and short tempered lead guy) it doesnt all work in reality mehn sometimes u really need to be real in movies .....in fact i hope someone else comes in the picture and date cos that happens too All the characters are awesome even the lead roles ...just got pissed wen she turned don chil seong to money-zone guy and was always been rude and nasty to him...kissing him and breaking his heart and now remembering she likes the other guy..that quite unfair Alsi wen she brought flowers for the chef forgetting the fact she called the thug boss down to the restaurant....well to cut the story short i hope i won't regret.watching doe

EJ Jul 21 2018 3:22 pm What a lovely story! Realistic, theme-centered (food), sweet and human. I'm really liking this writer's work. Greasy Melo is realistic in all the human-psychological aspects but includes the whimsicality and tropes that make for a light and entertaining (not to mention mouth-watering) watch. The acting and direction totally complemented the sweet story. Loved the fact that there was almost always such good communication between all the characters (SeWoo's mother being the glaring exception, but I'm letting that go since everything else was so good. Maybe the writers were trying to keep it real).Too bad that they had to wrap up with one less episode in the end but even that was done pretty well, all things given. Liked a bit more closure though, but anyway. For anyone wondering whether to watch this or not, i would definitely recommend this for food lovers, those looking for light hearted stories, amazing hunger igniting food, good humor, a cute rom-com, an honest bromance, a realistic and strong female lead, or general familia comeraderie among coworkers of various generations and backgrounds.

Zoe Jul 21 2018 7:15 am jin jung mom of the female lead i stupid selfish. I thought if i finish this would be better but it came out to be worst

Hye rin Jul 21 2018 1:28 am That ajjuma sae woo's oma is so so annoying!!I hate her role!! This drama is not so fine...Next.......

Sunday Jul 20 2018 3:26 pm I'm not sure whether to call this drama bad or not. I guess I would say it was bearable since I actually finished it even though there were some scenes I completely lost focus on. It's actually disappointing that they cast amazing actors/actresses for such a poor storyline. I personally wasn't a fan of LJH & JRW's characters at all. I didn't hate them, but there was nothing special about them. There was no chemistry between them either, so I didn't care for their relationship. I became more interested in JH's character and story. He's probably the best thing about this drama. Him and the appetizing food.

Skukian Jul 20 2018 12:23 pm It was a pretty good drama... I was really hesitant to watch this after reading a couple of bad reviews... You just have to get through the first 8-10 episodes before it gets interesting... I fell in love with Lee Jun Ho in chief kim and he was the main reason why i wanted to watch this... Jung Ryo Won's character as sae woo was also something that i liked... And she has got a really beautiful smile.. the chemistry between the leads is all really good.. they looked very comfortable with each other.. the rest of the cast did an amazing job too... this food showed in this drama really made my mouth water.. i wanna eat jajangmyun!!! but unfortunately there's no restaurant that sells jajangmyun from where i come from..... the ending of the drama felt a little rushed... n wat abt poong's ex wife???? her character just disappeared!

Evelyn Coleman Jul 19 2018 11:21 am The actors were great, the writer actually has difficulty with plot structure and pace. By the way she also had the same type conflict in her other work. I don't know that I would watch another drama by this writer, that said I loved the two male leads. I had trouble seeing the female lead as the character she was playing which brings me to the main problem of this writer, her characterization is always muddied by lack of motivation.

Amara Jul 19 2018 10:56 am Im so disappointed..I like the cast but the storyline is terrible!!Ive been expecting more of cooking dishes but it turn out to be so boring..Wat waste of cast their stupid role is so annoying! i just felt annoyed till the end..NOT SO GOOD DRAMA

Layla Jul 19 2018 1:19 am I only watch this because of the food being cooked in this show I refuse to believe no one salivated in those parts I even bet you order or make jajangmyeon and a plate of pork sweet and sour. Another MAIN reason was Doo Chil-Seong, his gang and Buster nothing else.

A lot of people are complaining Doo Chil-Seong didn't end up with Dan Sae-Woo well am glad he didn't because Sae-Woo doesn't deserve him. Let her be happy with Poong they deserve each other personally I don't want to put with Jin Jung-Hye she's ungrateful, selfish and shallow.

june Jul 18 2018 11:15 pm i enjoyed this drama, but i'm little dissapointed for the ending about Doo Chil Seong love story :) i think, he has big role for this drama, it will be better if the writer tell how he meet again with Ok Jae Yeon,

Joanne Jul 18 2018 7:37 pm Time flies while watching this drama cause it's sooo good. It sad that it ended. Highly recommended.

Aish Jul 18 2018 9:42 am Jang Hyuk is the best thing about this drama. That's it. He nailed it and he had more viewers rooting for him. This is the weakest acting of Jun Ho so far. I want Jun Ho to do a more serious role instead of this kind of sh$t. Writing is too sloppy. This is really a waste of their talents..

Ina Jul 18 2018 8:41 am The drama wasn't the best, the writing was all over the place but it was still a fun watch. But my main takeaway from this drama is Lee Junho can KISS. I'm definitely looking forward to his next romantic role if he keeps kissing the way he does in here lol. And also his chemistry with Jang Ryeowon is great too, they really portrayed very natural skinship, didn't seem awkward at all. Wish there were little more Bromance tho bc I loved his scenes with Janghyuk too.

Yubie Jul 18 2018 8:20 am I wasn't a fan until last year.. now im proud to say I AM

@Yubie Jul 18 2018 4:21 am So you are a fan. DUH

Yubie Jul 18 2018 12:44 am @Aigie couldn't agree more. Great acting Lee Jun-ho-ssi. I am not a fan, however the first time I watched Chief Kim I was so attached to your acting skills. (never knew that you're an idol) then started to watch your movie "Memories of the sword" and following your recent drama JBL. you are very passionate in every role you've taken. and you've got me mesmerised in the characters you portrayed. I watched this drama though didn't really like the plot. however you acted really well as a professional chef and showed natural chemistry with the co-star. I really believe you were also born to be a great actor. Some IDOL can act but not all of them can act well. keep up the great work!!! looking forward to see you in another drama. fighting!!

J@bbok Jul 17 2018 10:34 pm I enjoyed the drama from start to end despite some flaws and unresolved issues in the storyline. The actors really did an excellent portrayal of their roles and appreciate them better after the drama. This show made me eat jajangmyeon after watching and gave me a good preview of what chinese cuisine kitchen looks like. If there's one thing i want to change is the part where the horse talked. Still, I would highly recommend this one to those who just want to relax, have a good laugh, a bowl of jajangmyeon and a plate of pork sweet and sour.

ruiw Jul 17 2018 10:11 pm Seok Dal-Hee (Cha Joo-Young) i never saw her show up again .....what ep last time she show up ??

gimme Jul 17 2018 9:28 pm 3 words for this drama.. WHAT A WASTE

Elinie Jul 17 2018 1:39 pm i like it. the story is light and the plot is easy to guess. however i was having fun watching it.

Elle Jul 17 2018 12:27 pm The mother is such an ungrateful human being. Poong gave her a job when she needed money, he scolded her all the time because it was her fault, all employer will do the same to someone like her. Ok, it makes sense that she hates him, but forcing Poong to leave her daughter simply because he’s not rich enough, while Poong is working hard to earn. How shallow.

She’s also so selfish, how can she not letting the 2 housekeepers go to have a better future?? Instead she kinda forced them to be forever maid (family-like maid whatever).

While the actress did a good job for acting 2 roles, the character is annoying af.

Taengoo Jul 17 2018 11:10 am Gonna miss this drama sooo much! Really love the chemistry <3 My heart is just beating everytime i see Seo Poong Chef-nim smile

@zoe Jul 17 2018 3:29 am Lee Mi Sook played the mysterious old woman (Chil-Sung's mother) and Dan Sae Woo's mother. Park Ji Young only played Seol Ja.

And... I agree to everything you just said.

zoe Jul 17 2018 3:09 am Very disappointing drama the story was doing so well until Dan Sae-Woo decides to to go on the side of Seo Poong I mean they don't have much chemistry there are better off as friends.

Because of this Drama am suffering for Second Male Lead Syndrome yes I prefer Doo Chil-Seong because Jang Hyuk was DAEBAK! As a gangster he should make more roles like this. Am also on his side because he did EVERYTHING AND SOLVES most of the problems. The chemistry and bromance with his gang is also admirable.

There is no character growth for Sae-Woo am wondering what the writers are thinking her character has a masters degree in the states WHY cant she find a decent job? She's good with Fencing and also an Equestrian the writes made her character dumb, spoiled brat and totally forgets Buster.

Also what the hell happen to Poong's ex-wife? I was really hoping this would happen Seung-Ryong will cheats on her and gets caught, also I was really looking forward he will lose everything like Poong.

Also the only reason am still watching this $hit is because Chae Seol-Ja and Mysterious Old Woman was acted by the same person Park Ji-Young I didn't even see that coming because of her role in Moon Lovers.

Guinevere Jul 16 2018 2:20 pm Great actors, bad writing. I'm utterly disappointed with the latest episodes (thankfully it ends tomorrow) What a waste of a good cast. Only staying for Junho.

Tyrez Pixley Jul 16 2018 11:56 am I decided to watch this drama cause of Jang Hyuk, Jung Ryeo Won & Lee Mi-Sook but I'm so disappointed this drama is a stain on the cast body of work but especially those great actors. The writing horrible currently on ep 29 an there as been no character development for anyone, the romance aspect is what really killed it this drama the way it is the leads would be better off as just friends. If it wasn't for me wanting to find out how the gangster side of things gonna end I wouldn't be bothering with this drama anymore

eNo Jul 14 2018 10:44 am The series is 10/10* ... BUT... With this annoying. Fcking. ***/"+!$ß+ Goddamn bi_ch, Lee Mi-Sook ( Jin Jung-Hye ), it's only 1*. Never ever seen more annoying person like this. Disgusting...

@wafa Jul 12 2018 7:12 pm it's not just you. Majority of the viewers have 2nd lead syndrome. Coz it's just really impossible not to fall for him. It's just that he female lead character is attracted to jerks. That's what the writer is all about. All her female leads are attracted to jerks. Like in Pasta and Jealousy Incarnate. She always have 2nd leads as the nicest guy in the world. But, I liked the main OTP in both dramas. However, she has gone far here. Chil Sung is just waaaaaay too nice. There's is no way I'll root for the male lead because Chil Sung did EVERYTHING. He solved EVERYTHING. The male lead just cooking and the female lead doing nothing, especially about her family. Too stupid.

wafa Jul 12 2018 3:10 pm

SPOILER* dont read if u havnt watched yet

is it only me who has second lead syndrome? As everyone else said, the drama is messy, like the plot! it gets funny one point and serious which is lame. whats up the villain? they make him like a joke in later ep. Main male lead should be frustrated with him but later it gets ok all of a sudden, I hate the female lead, she rejects the second lead, and the chemistry starts with the male lead so late and its lame! I gave up watching after 16 ep cause i dont want to cry a river watching the second lead T_T

Hell gone lose Jul 11 2018 10:08 am I checked this out because it's the same writer who penned Miss Korea. One of my favorite dramas of all time. But wow. I am so disappointed. The main OTP has minimal character development especially the female, which is the the total opposite of the female lead in Miss Korea.

The only thing I am interested in this drama and the only person that shined is Jang Hyuk. As always, he always shines in eveything. I was curious on how he would his performance be with minimal screentime since he is not really the main lead. But still, he did amazing.

Abbie Jul 11 2018 9:44 am I hate the female lead theres no chemistry at all. So please next time give Jun Ho a better drama at a better female lead. Junho is good already. I can see that he gives it all but the story is kinda frustrating sometimes. I always skip the episodes. Jang Hyuk is as always great plus Junho's acting were great too. So please dont ruin it.

1234567 Jul 11 2018 4:21 am bad. i dont like it .no story .

lizzie baby Jul 10 2018 11:59 am What happened to chef seo poong's ex wife, is she dead or something? She has been cut off the drama. She had better regret leaving her husband for another man, it shouldn't end like dat.

zc Jul 09 2018 2:46 am the story is kinda messy although i'm only at ep7..like some of the side characters story isn't necessary? Sae Woo's character is meh, she's married but is excited (anticipates his text etc) that Chil Seong has a crush on her yet tells him off about. idk how to feel about this drama

sheka Jul 08 2018 9:51 am Second male lead syndrome?? JH is slaying again.. Ommgg..

 I'm in love with ajusshi?

Me ann Jul 06 2018 8:24 pm @Elle, echo. Jang hyuk is the only reason for me to hang on to this drama till the end...

@Elle Jul 06 2018 1:53 am That's what you call poor writing. I am really disappointed with this drama. This is her worst writing our of all her dramas I've watched, which is a total of 4. BUT.. it's still quite enjoyable and funny. Plus Jang Hyuk's here so it's still worth the watch. I am only watching it now for Doo Chil Seong and nothing else more. The other characters, sometimes I hate and sometime I like. But for Dan Sae Woo, I really hate her character here. I hope Jung Ryeo Won and Jun Ho gets better projects next time, and I hope Jang Hyuk's upcoming drama will be a success.

Elle Jul 04 2018 11:59 am I love this drama but there is one thing that keeps on bothering me. It was mentioned that the main lead took her masters degree in the states. Then, why cant she find a decent job??!! I believe not all company cares if she have a criminal father.

Gororo Jul 04 2018 9:43 am Love this drama, fresh story, good casting... i like Jang Hyuk character in this drama, so funny and cool...^,^

HV Jul 04 2018 3:08 am I am the only one who is on the mood for some Chinese food. Haha. And JH as a side dish (A Large size s’il vous plait...) LOL I am salivating here....

Larassati Ina Jul 04 2018 2:00 am I love this drama....two thumb for all players.

achaion Jul 04 2018 1:23 am I love this drama so much... and i fell for the 3 lead actor, they are amazing... the story was entertaining, but why the rating were so low??? For me, this is the best drama compare to another on going drama. FIGHTING!!

ratna Jul 02 2018 11:33 pm i love Doo Chil Seong,,

Steve Jul 02 2018 10:52 pm @JraraK Don't bring up that drama. I was disgusted that the young punk ended up with the girl. He made like he was entitled to be with her. When he rejected her, she should've gone to the CEO.

May Jul 02 2018 10:46 pm Wow well done for all the actors and crews. I love this drama even though feel sorry for JH. Very light and not boring. Please add to 4 more eps. I am not ready to say goodbye

@Aigie Jun 27 2018 11:10 pm Just curious.. Where is this coming from?

yourfilfan Jun 27 2018 6:55 pm hahaha i didn't notice that lee mi sok is the same mother of sae woo and chil sung

Aigie Jun 27 2018 5:58 pm Why are other fans complaining that JH gets the second lead?

Who's saying that the True actors are in the military?

Just because ur not that famous, u are not considered as a true actor??

Some of the famous actors are just overrated.And not really that good in acting..

I'm not a Junho fan but I Think deserves a praise in his acting projects, He is not as good as janghyuk WHO is a veteran but he is Doing a a great job to be like him someday

JraraK Jun 27 2018 4:42 pm This drama now seems to me like a season2 of Temperature of love with same plot and same drama. XD

HV Jun 27 2018 6:27 am KHJ looks like Ko Gyung-Pyo. They could be siblings. Wok of Love is the 3rd drama where KHJ caught my eyes despise being next JH. Even next to JH, he manages to shine. That kid got SOMETHING “je ne sais quoi!!!” I am extremely interested to see his progression in the film industry. I see good things for him.

@Linda Jun 26 2018 7:12 pm Episode reduction was already announced. From 40 to 38 and it's official.

Linda Jun 26 2018 1:22 pm hoping this drama will still resume on the real/exact episode(40)

Izk Jun 26 2018 9:30 am I love all main cast but i do not like if Joonho pair with Jung Ryeo-Won. I don't like their chemistry as well. I think it will be better if there is another young girl which pair with Joonho at the end, and Jung Ryeo-Won with Jang-Hyuk.

HV Jun 26 2018 1:52 am Question from a foreigner to the Korean fan based: is it true if you are an orphan, you can not join the army in South Korea? Very unorthodox rule if it is real.

d Jun 25 2018 6:43 pm supposed to air yesterday, no?

A Jun 25 2018 6:06 pm Latest episodes is all about food, wen will the romance start, they don't even have chemistry yet. Why is junho wasting time. He should go ahead and date her

Shairli Jun 25 2018 3:07 am Hope whatever channel involved will resume with the correct episodes at the scheduled time. Happened before due to keep up with the scheduling of other dramas in line, the channel just air skipped episodes at fringe times.

maqour Jun 19 2018 8:17 pm @Indo saram I guess it is not they don`t have any sport channel to air world cup, they choose to delay airing the show because it may effect the viewers rating.

Elle Jun 19 2018 7:47 am I miss Point and his wok,I wish airing of episodes 23-24 will not be delay next week..oh my!!I will count days again?

@Vinny Jun 19 2018 12:05 am Due To 2018 World Cup Coverage they cancelling several shows this week and will resume next week.

Vinny Jun 18 2018 10:20 pm Why haven't this been airing for quite a while?

Jj Jun 17 2018 7:49 pm I'm so hooked to the story and charcters. It was so fun to watch the three of them. Love it!

@Sh Jun 16 2018 6:55 pm Jang Hyuk agreed to be 2nd lead because the character he got is more interesting. He doesn't look for status anymore. If he finds the character interesting then he'll go for it.

Tyrez Pixley Jun 16 2018 4:26 pm Jang Hyuk & female lead main reason for watching JH too good to be a second lead he is JH he can not "not" get the girl but I'm a few eps behind on ep 20

Indo saram Jun 16 2018 1:20 pm What? They don't have any sports channel to air the world cup?? We will have to wait another week to watch the next episode.??

Sh Jun 16 2018 11:59 am Junho act is so great, I'm in love with him since just between lovers .. I think Jang hyuk willing to be second lead cause he believe junho's acting ability

HV Jun 14 2018 9:26 pm Me Ann, I concur to that!!!!! JH is like a fine expensive wine; he only gets better and better as he ages. I call him the Sean Connery of the East.

Me ann Jun 13 2018 4:26 pm Jang Hyuk is the reason for watching this drama. He is unanimously the most charismatic and versatile actor in Korea.

i know nothing Jun 13 2018 1:19 pm I’ll continue watching because i enjoy the story. Of course its hard to continue watching if you are smarter than the director and writer lol.

Missy Jun 13 2018 8:15 am Awwwwww. I was waiting for 23 & 24... June 25??? Its so hard to wait for that long :(((

kania Jun 12 2018 4:37 pm Why episode 23 & 24 not airing? In schedule its will be airing on 25 june? I cant wait for a new episode :'(

len cullens Jun 11 2018 6:36 pm The story is very interesting,the main characters Pong is very interesting in-terms of hiding his true feeling to Sae Woo....I really love the story and the cast.....everything is falling to the script and wondering whats next episode.....I'-m really excited...I cant wait to watch all the episode...I love the character of Chel Seong as well despite of being a gang leader but he is full of respect towards his people.....I love everything in this drama.........Good luck and more exciting episodes to come........I hope that it air's everyday.......cant wait for the next episode..........

Poongie Jun 11 2018 12:10 pm Junho is very telented. Yes he is an idol so what? His acting is exceptional, wonderful singer, great songs composer , best dancer ever. This drama, i love all 3 leads, story line ok.

Momo Jun 10 2018 10:31 am Gosh. Trying to check on some comments here regarding the drama and all I see are complaints and fan wars. I am a Jang Hyuk fan and I really don't like what I am reading here so not gonna watch anymore. I'll just wait for his next project.

FYI, we have idol turned actors that are really painful to watch but Jun Ho is not one of them. I like him but Im not really a fan. He is actually good. He can go far in the acting worls if he continues to get great projects in the future.

Not hearing too much good feedback on this drama though. I hope you guys who continue to watch enjoy the drama. See you on their next projects. :)

Mel Jun 10 2018 6:36 am No, it wasn't based on fan votes lol it was from KBS drama awards for Chief Kim. Chief Kim was one of the highest rated shows last year and his chemistry with Nam Goongmin was one of the biggest reasons why. Which you clearly did not watch, or Just Between Lovers which was critically acclaimed, and where his acting received a lot of praise. Junho has gone from small supporting roles to finally starring roles only last year. He's also received praise from actors like Jeon Doyeon and Sol Kyung Gu who are legit A-listers. He didn't take the easy road just because he's an idol.

I understand the stigma that comes with idol actors and how a lot of them aren't any good. But Junho is not one of them, and he takes his acting career very seriously. He doesn't get cast because he's an idol but because he's actually good. The directors of his acting projects have gone on record more than once to say that he's a serious actor with a bright future in the industry. So I don't understand why the hostility for someone who doesn't deserve it? Just because he also happens to be an idol? Seriously?

Kireay Jun 10 2018 5:41 am Best actor award based on fans voting?..it doesnt not count as quality of idol actor. Idols have big fansbase..thats lame award on kdrama world. I dislike idol actor..they are lucky have loyal big fansbase. But most they dont have charisma as an actor.only good face..some of them has weird voice when he talks is like someone from infijnity? .instead of take new rocky actor who has huge talents they just give envestment for idols..who usualy sing and dance.unfair..i feel kdrama meet the lowest level this year..i dislike idol actors..or actress...because this nis not their talent field..when idols are not young anymore and young idols become more popular than them....they took opportunity on acting.

Mel Jun 10 2018 2:49 am Junho has more than proven his ability as an actor. He won the Best Actor award last year, even tho he's still considered a rookie. Maybe watch one of his dramas before you try to write him off as an 'idol actor'. He's an idol and an actor and is actually pretty darn good at both. Idc if some of you are upset that Janghyuk's not the lead, but you don't have to try and insult Junho like he's not actually doing a good job with his role. Find somewhere else to vent your anger, it's not his fault Janghyuk CHOSE a second lead role.

LILI1 Jun 08 2018 10:40 pm @Uyokhg I don't see a problem with an idol becoming an actor, just in case you forgot, many idols were in fact acting trainees. I don't know about the lead actor who you say is an idol, but don't judge a person's abilities by it's cover. And you should also know that's plenty of korean actors you are really bad at acting, they just have pretty faces and that's all.

Uyokhg Jun 08 2018 8:58 pm This year all lead male are from idols.??.lol. when the true actors went to military services..and the senior actors just become 2nd lead. This concept give me headache of kdrama. And drop it. I wi back for 2019 soon. When avery great actors comback from ther MS

Ed Jun 06 2018 2:37 pm I think there is more surprise in this drama, especially for Ok Ja Yeon appearance after eps 19. Little bit curious about upcoming eps

lalaa Jun 06 2018 6:23 am big fan of both the male lead actor in this drama. Cant choose either one of them. Whoever she ends up with, totally shipping them. But i think she suits junho better here~ great drama, awesome lead actor and actress!

HV Jun 06 2018 2:36 am This 3 leads triangle is giving me a hard time. I am a die hard fan of JH maybe that is why I am having a hard time appreciating the concept. It feels like JH is doing that kid a favor by letting him be the main lead. I am not convinced by this kid’s acting skills. It is like putting Russel Crow next to Van Diesel; it’s just absurd.

jhsjs Jun 05 2018 11:47 am i'm shipping jang hyuk with ryeo-won but watching it til episode 20 makes me conclude they aren't going to be together. bit disappointed & makes me want to drop this

Mcgareth Jun 03 2018 11:21 am Jang hyuk and Jung Ryeo Won jeball!!!! I want them together for rhis episode!!

Jac Jun 03 2018 9:57 am Lee Mi Sook is the best actress in disguise. Meaning the crazy old lady.

What a comical release for us.

Great great work!

JAC Jun 03 2018 9:49 am This year must be age difference drama.

Why?

You have older woman and younger man, but another man likes her too.

Triangle not really let’ See

Nemo Jun 03 2018 9:16 am So far this drama is legit funny and has me dying and the gangster and the boss friendship is hilarious and although the story drags soo much and it's a kind of confusing storyline but the actors acting are amazing. Im on the latest episode 16 and I can just say the story is kind of basucally starting at episode 16 but obvs I just wanted to watch it cos of Junho but I think I'll carry on and see what happens in the drama because it's too funny to drop

Karen Jun 03 2018 1:21 am What is this??? How come jang hyuk bcome 2nd lead here???

vinny Jun 02 2018 11:48 pm Watching this because of the cast. The story is bot really that grear but is bearable since all three leads' acting are really great despite the weird storyline. All other actors are doing great, too imo. The gangsters are esp funny and lovable. Not the best drama out there but the acting and the actors are enough to keep me from dropping this. I just feel like LJH and JRW looks good together but JH and JRW has much more chemistry which makes it a bit hard for me to really ship LJH with JRW. It's still okay for me if they do end up together but I prefer JRW to end up with JH more.

Pena Jun 02 2018 8:50 am I watch this drama cos jun ho and food theme , and i want to see chemistry between junho and jun ryo won ( i love her acting in witch court ??). About jang hyuk, he is still a great actor, i watched his dramas before and always get the girl ?. I really like his drama, beautiful mind. ❤️

So for this drama, i wish junho to get the girl. Chil seung be a guardian for both of them. He is mature than seo pong n sae woo. And honestly, i prefer love character seo pong, sae woo and their relationship & story. I do not care about age gap, as long as i enjoy the plot. I will watch it ?

I'myourfather Jun 02 2018 3:35 am Well...I'm a big fan of Jung Ryeo Won and Jang Hyuk and i really wanted to see them together in a drama...but after watching it and seeing that he is not gonna be with her, I'm kind of disappointed...and the 10 years difference between the main casts (Joon Ho and Ryeo Won) put me in a big difficulty trying to ship them...I just can't...i feel like they drag the story to nowhere my heart is filled with disappointment so i think i gonna drop it...

Rory Jun 01 2018 12:20 pm This new concept of drama got me so excited, It's sucha great drama, loved it so much, keep it up!!

S.L.A.G_05 May 31 2018 6:04 pm Wacting this drama because of Jung Ryeo-Won her acting is just funny and interesting to from the Witch court to this drama

ms greentea May 31 2018 10:09 am the plot wasnt that interesting and the acting wasnt able to keep me watching

JOHNNY May 31 2018 6:11 am This drama was enjoyable but i so confuss who will be the male lead so i need to keep on watching this drama haaaaaa. Anyway i want Janghyuk to be the male lead .Thanks for this Drama?

@Guinevere May 31 2018 3:54 am I know. I'm such a horrible fan. But that's me. I can't watch a drama if the story is not that great. And yes, I've also seen worse. I guess it was a bad move to watch My Ahjussi and Live consecutively while this is airing. Sigh.

Guinevere May 31 2018 2:42 am @ROFL I agree with you on the fact it's not the best drama out there but as a Junho fan, there's no way in hell I'll drop this drama because it's probably his last project before his enlistment...that's why I'll stick till the end no matter what! The cast alone makes it worth watching imo and as for the story, I've seen worse personally.

pearl May 31 2018 2:41 am Just enjoy this drama guys. Why some of you here are so bitter hmmf. I have nothing to complain about this show and yes I so love the chemistry between Yoana unni and Janghyuk oppa. But can't complain no more if Yoana unni and Joonho oppa will end up together hmmm. I just love the humor, the script especially how Janghyuk oppa admires Yoana unni. I enjoyed his one sided love to Yoana unni haha and it looks so funny as how he expresses his love.

Just enjoy the show guys. We're are still on the 16th ep.

Sharon May 31 2018 2:09 am Omg! I forgot to mention Lee Mi Sook has such a big role for being so low in the credits. Love her, she is showing off her versatility!! This is so different from Money Flower for both her and Jang Hyuk, they’re AWESOME!! DAEBAK!!

Sharon May 31 2018 2:04 am I just noticed that the artwork on the bridge is by the same artist from Jang Hyuk’s other show Fated to Love You. Did anyone else notice that? Or anyone know how or why that is?

ROFL May 31 2018 12:31 am For those who are complaining that there are a lot of complaints on this page, you gotta admit, this is not the best drama out there and the storyline doesn't make much sense. It's funny yes. It's enjoyable yes. Is it interesting? No. Not for me atleast. I came here for Jun Ho and I'm not feeling it. For someone who adored him in Chief Kim and JBL, I was excited about this but whoa... Something's not right here. And believe me I dropped this at ep 8 when the fortune cookie came out. LOL. The actors are great but the writing is meh.

SBSwatcher May 30 2018 11:59 pm Wow... some of you guys should've dropped this drama from ep 1 if you're going to complain this much just because your favorite actor is second lead and some of your critiques of this drama is horrible because it's just one sided. I don't even know why some of you even watched it this far when all you do is complain. As for those who said the leads don't have chemistry... hello... there's 40 episodes total and we're only on ep 16 as I'm writing this. There's time for development in that as the story continues.

If you don't like a drama, just stop watching it. Simple as that. Complaining on here won't do you any good. It'll just annoy people.

Jangjangmien May 30 2018 10:34 pm Too much fan wars !! Stop immatue just enjoy the show. All 3 leads did well.

Acha May 30 2018 4:15 pm What about the rating???? And why some people argue about Jang Hyuk not become a lead actor???? In my opinion, Jang Hyuk is main lead also... The 3 of them... with their triangle love... Poong did well, he has the own way to love Sae Woo.. Just like lady gum said, there is a man doing opposite thing to express their love... After all... i love this drama so much... it was fun and make me smile, laugh and cry at the same time.. So please enjoy the show. And For those who still hesitate to watch this drama, u will regret later... wkwkwk peace...

jhsjs May 30 2018 11:59 am pretty disappointed at end of episodes 16. justice for jang hyuk :((

Zee May 30 2018 9:43 am TeamSeoPoong!!! Fighting!!!!!

toycrane May 30 2018 8:46 am janghyuk always attractive as always.. he is really cute in this drama and it's reminds me of him in fated to love you AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Team Jang hyuk May 30 2018 5:36 am Jang hyuk should be lead female. He always be main character . This drama throw good talent like jang hyuk. I dont understand why them join such amazing actor and make he become a second lead ? Iam so dispointed. Jang hyuk ?

Nesquik May 30 2018 2:57 am This drama is stupid...i was do excited to watch it because of Jang Hyuk but he is not the main cast?! WTF?!!!! Such a big actor like Jang Hyuk? I think is the first time in drama land when he is not the main cast and is gonna be a big cliche if they don't do something! And the chemistry between Poong and Se wo is a mess...i just can't ship them no matter how much i try...they are forcing the romance between them but just don't....Please don't!!!!! Totally Dislike This!

Kinzu May 29 2018 11:41 pm Team Jang Hyuk

XYZ May 29 2018 8:09 pm I also like Cha Seung Won especially from The Greatest Love and I think he can also do Chil Sung's role but IMO he can't do it better than Jang Hyuk. Both of them have different types of charisma.

Aigie May 29 2018 9:20 am I agree with Apoi.. Cha Seung Won will do justice with Chil Sung's character

Jin May 28 2018 11:18 pm @wok of laugh I agree with you. Kitchen shouldn't be treated as playground. Remember they are dealing with food. I totally understand how the chef felt. Cooking is his passion. So he gets angry to those who mess with it.

buttercup May 28 2018 5:21 pm sooo in love with the drama

olivia7 May 28 2018 2:52 pm Ryu Seung-Soo also here...

Jac May 28 2018 2:39 pm Wow enjoying the comedy drama and cast of characters in it. Fighting for leads in the show.

Love and Peace,

@@Apoi May 28 2018 9:29 am Thanks for being understanding. Let's enjoy the cheesy mess together and let's not loose our cool over other people's opinion.

LMAO May 28 2018 2:30 am Not seeing any chemistry between the 2 leads (Poong and Sae Woo). Relationship development does not make sense at all. It's like, they are forcing this and that to make sure that the viewers do not forget who the real OTP is. LOL. Goodbye show! Another predictable boring love story.

@Apoi May 28 2018 2:28 am Get lost!

@Apoi May 28 2018 2:25 am You are not a fan of anyone but it seems like you hate Jang Hyuk. LOL. We don't need comments of who should be acting who here. Get lost!

Apoi May 28 2018 1:37 am Jang Hyuk and Jung Ryeo Won don't look good together. Saewo and Poong do. I'm not a fan of anyone here so what I'm saying has no biased. And I think Cha Seung Won would fit more in the role of the gangster Chil Seong. He's a lot funnier than Jang Hyuk.

Miro Bico May 27 2018 3:05 pm I decided to stopped watching at episode 12. I can't go on with this drama. As much as I love JH and LJH, this is a total waste of their talent. The writer should focus on their individual struggles and screw the love triangle thing which is not really helping at all. I love the gangsters, because they are so funny. But the sudden romantic thing going around (except for Doo Chil-Seong who from the start showing romantic feeling to Sae-Woo) is just a mess.

40 episodes is just too long for this storyline. The writer will definitely stretch this as much as possible with some silly twist. Anyway, I hope the ratings go up, but I will put this on hold for now.

Alia Alaa May 26 2018 8:44 am I'm enjoying this to the fullest totally recommended ❤❤❤

Me Ann May 26 2018 6:56 am High -5 to Pammo & SeulgiRV! I echo you - Jang Hyuk 's acting is flawless in all his projects! ?

TYREZ PIXLEY May 25 2018 11:08 pm Gangsters need love to Team Chil-Soeng & Sae-Woo. This drama is crazy all around

Pammo May 25 2018 7:16 am This is a drama that is so outlandish in concept and execution that you either love it or hate it. I am loving it. I am a fan of Jang Hyuk and have seen most of his work. His intensity in the last few roles must have taken a toll on him and he needed a break -- this is perfect for him. Not the lead, but still the lead in acting skills because he must flawlessly execute a characterization that is almost a study of watching Michael Jackson's gangster scenes in Beat It and Who's Badd. It is so funny yet enjoyable and worth a watch.

SeulgiRV May 24 2018 10:13 am i like sae woo character, she's funny and cute *^* for Jang Hyuk, he's always awesome. one of my favourite korean actor :D

Zee May 24 2018 4:45 am @mrs.lee God forbid that Joon-Ho goes back with Jo-young.. No! No! No! Never!! She's annoying! I want him with Sae-Woo.. I like Chil-Seong as well tho..

Fijo May 23 2018 10:42 pm This is all over the place. I'm not sure of where it's going or what the script writer is trying to convey. I will watch it because of Jang Hyuk though.

Mel May 23 2018 9:22 am The actors in this drama are definitely hard carrying the show. All three leads are doing the best they can with the material given, but The script and the editing is messy at best. I've never seen the writer's previous drama but apparently they were hits, so I'm confused why three weeks in this drama still feels like it's written by a newbie. It's watchable.. But it's a mess lol.

Kyk kim May 23 2018 8:20 am Jang Hyuk is too badass to be a naive-gangster. The plot is messy

Achaion May 23 2018 6:44 am I love the story and also Sae Woo’s room..

mrs. Lee May 23 2018 2:02 am I hope jang hyuk is the lead actor. Because jang hyuk and ryeo won look good together... And next joo young will back to joon ho.

HS KL May 23 2018 1:19 am I just don't understand the ratings! This drama is excellent. I find that Jang Hyuk is superb as the gangster boss who has a crush on Sae Woo. I enjoyed watching him, so cool and he is an expert at conveying his crush for Sae Woo with his expressions. I don't think any other actor could act this role as well as Jang Hyuk can. Jung Ryeo Won is good too. She's excellent as the spoiled, naive, good natured girl who was dumped. I didn't quite like her acting before, but she's excellent in this role. This drama has been so entertaining. Congratulations.

Jac May 22 2018 8:24 am Yes it’s a comedy and enjoying the changes for example: Abortion, giogglo husband, one night stands confusion but funny.

@jjy May 22 2018 3:17 am Male lead is Jun Ho.

SuanPanda May 22 2018 1:36 am I really like this drama!! Unpredictable! Comedy, romantic, family, action scene. Wow. Never find korean drama so interesting.

jjy May 22 2018 1:29 am So who is the main lead role? Junho or janghyuk? Someone tell mee plss

Kah May 21 2018 11:15 pm I like greasy melo because of jang hyuk and he is very good in portraying Doo Chil Seong. But it is disappointing if the lead actress will end up with Seo Poong. Doo Chil is more charming than Seo Poong, its kinda not realistic if Dan Sae-Woo love interest is Seo Poong.

Guiltypleasure May 21 2018 10:47 pm I meant her role (so annoying character), not the actress herself

Guiltypleasure May 21 2018 10:46 pm The lead actress so annoying. I Can't endure anymore. I drop it, at the early of episode 9th.

TheWhistler May 21 2018 9:33 pm This drama is such a disappointment! Not only my opinion but in it's homeland. A quarter of the way through and nationwide ep 10 rates 20 out of the top 20. Still I guess that is an improvment from the times it didn't rate at all. It certainly hasn't improved from last week and looks like it is going down. I was looking so forward to watching this. Knew from first ep it was off, not one to catch the majority of viewers attention. I was hoping it would be worth watching because I like Jung Ryeo-Won. Still some must see something in it and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

@LOL May 21 2018 7:02 am @LOL Wasn't it just a nice joke but therw are some thick heads who got offended even with this harmless joke.

LOL May 21 2018 4:27 am When I saw the name Kim Poong I immediately searched for it. And yeah. I understood the joke right away.

@@@N May 21 2018 12:13 am Do you know Kim Poong? If not then know about him then you'll understand what the commentator was saying.

Do you have basic understanding of sense of humor or even sense at all. You know you could just laugh at it but instead you are polluting the comment section with negitivity.

@@N May 20 2018 1:15 pm @@N, literally, in every single way, that was not a joke. There was no humor to it, smfh.

@N May 20 2018 10:35 am @N Oh my! @yow said Jang Hyuk should play the role of Poong because he looks like Kim Poong.

It has nothing to do with Junho. Why do some people assume that everyone is talking about him. It's just a joke.

N May 19 2018 11:41 pm I disagree. I think Junho is perfect in portraying Poong character.

Yow May 19 2018 9:18 am I haven't watched it yet but if anything Janghyuk should play that Poong character because he looked like an upgraded version of Kim Poong lol.

K May 19 2018 12:58 am I want more of this drama series.

gizibe May 18 2018 8:55 am I love Jang Hyuk, but I don't think I can watch this.... too silly....

@wok of laugh May 17 2018 4:28 am I was the only one who used the word overacting I think. What I meant was how he ran. He was all over the place. I didn't like his acting on that part.

lawlno May 17 2018 3:37 am I wanna see Cha Joo Young and Kim Sa Kwon's character suffering so hard.

wok of laugh May 16 2018 10:33 pm If i were that chef, I would never forgive those gangsters, forcing him for stupid tattoo. I would be even more angry at them to treat business like playground. And the lease contract either seemed to be unfair for him.

PP who says the chef was overreacting.. I guess they dont really understand his situation.

HMmm May 16 2018 9:50 pm Was it just me? Or was LJH acting running at the bridge to find DSW was overacting? Did you see how he ran? LOL.

Elle May 16 2018 1:32 pm Just finished ep.8, cant wait for next week. I’m guessing she’ll end up with the chef, even i really wish she’ll end up with mr.light. I like mr.light’s character better but that ‘running to the bridge’ scene of the chef makes my heart flutters.

CKW May 16 2018 12:40 pm Just finished episode 6. Until now the show has been funny and entertaining but cohesion factor was lacking but now it's shaping up nicely. Junho impresses me so much for an idol actor, he has again transformed himself from his last stint completely. If I didn't know he was an idol I would've easily thought of him as an actor. So much talent and potential. The other two leads are also very impressive here. Cannot wait for more episodes.

I think this page needs an update the Hotel Giant staff aren't very prominent supporting characters but Park Ji Young's and Lee Mi Sook's characters are.

Zee May 16 2018 5:33 am I like both Jun-ho and Chil-Seong.. They are both amazing and Chil-Seong is funny. I also love Seo Woo's smile, it's soo captivating. Anytime I see her smile I can't help but smile too..

Maria May 16 2018 1:18 am I can’t stand Junho’s character. He’s annoyingly rude and snobbish. If it his character in the script, he is successful making me annoyed with his behavior. Lol

jang hyuk saranghae May 15 2018 2:35 pm im going to watch this because ajjushi (jang hyuk) is here. most of his dramas are serious.. and i wanna hear him laugh out loud.

Ada May 14 2018 10:32 am JH in a comic role :)!! Exciting weeks ahead!!

Emcee May 13 2018 7:40 pm My bias before watching this: LJH My bias after watching this: JH

Rc137 May 13 2018 2:46 pm Liking it so far. The food looks so good. Kim Sa Kwon always seems to play the bad boy.

Inmyheart, dr May 12 2018 7:08 pm Jang hyuk with his signature laugh, kim mee suk with her usual great acting in dual roles here, jung ryeo won with her natural comical dead-pan face & response, & lee joon ho with his casual macho looks.....hahaha...all these combined makes for a good drama here. After the two episodes....i like...fighting...

Ozmm May 12 2018 12:53 am My faves are everyone. All casting is super. Doo Chil Seong is so adorable. Seo Poong is so cool. And my bestie Dan Sae Woo is cute and lovely. .. All four episodes make me laugh so much. This drama is going to be a hit.

EmmAlee May 11 2018 5:19 pm One of my fave roles for Jang Hyuk in recent times. He really interprets his character perfectly. I really love this drama and casts. First kdrama I picked up in weeks and it hit the right spot instantly!!

Kimi May 11 2018 7:30 am Ep 2(or Ep 3&4) where the drama gets more interesting for me.. cant wait to watch next epi.. ^^

Lovetears May 10 2018 9:22 pm Junho ah.. I am so in love with you in Just between lovers, my heart still aches. To Jang hyuk fans, please stop talking shit about Junho, just enjoy the show. Respect Jang hyuk’s decision please! Love all cast, well done!

Xtn May 10 2018 5:09 am 4 eps a week. That's basically 2 eps like the normal thing, they just cut the episodes to 2.

Daiby Santos May 09 2018 3:53 pm I was hoping it will be 5 days a week and an hour a day. I am so excited for the next episodes. Too bad i still have to wait for few more days :(

This is another korean drama on my watchlist. My day is not complere without kdramas. So please and i hope there will be changes on the sched for the better ?

B.A.P May 09 2018 9:48 am why everyone say 4 ep in a week ?? yep dude ,, it's 4 episodes in a week but it's the same with the other dramas cuzz 1 ep is 30 minutes so totally 2 hours in a week & plus the dramas are like that 2 hours in a week .. but 1 hour in a day ,,,,,,,, so what's wrong ?

JongdaeDaTroll May 09 2018 3:19 am I really want to watch this because come on its Jang Hyuk ( yall he's one of the best actors out there no kidding) and JunHo (i recently watch Chief Kim, its one of the best kdrama out there) But its 40 episodes and i think i'll have a doubt watching it maybe not until its finished.

4 episodes a week? Is this what they are really going to do every week? That's amazing if it they do.

I just wish that this get recognize more and get appreciated.

Amberle May 08 2018 10:09 pm I'm not sure what is all the fuss about who is first lead or second or who gets the girl. Just watch the drama, people. It's amazingly good.

The first 4 episodes had me laughing my head off at some of the scenes. The background music, especially the old Cantonese song played each time Jang Hyuk go into his gangster mode made me think Chow Yuen Fatt is going to appear with his trademark smirk and join Jang Hyuk in the fight! Lol. I love Jang Hyuk whenever he acted as a badass, and in here, he's a reformed badass. Now, that is even more endearing.

I've also like Junho's acting since Chief Kim and he didn't disappoint in here, either. He is one of those special idol that did crossover to acting successfully. He's a natural.

I'm so looking forward to the bromance between Jang Hyuk and Junho. Add the quirky Jung Ryeo Won to the mix and it becomes an amazing delicious dish!

Hyuk May 08 2018 8:59 pm 4 Episodes for week?

Cindy Ong May 08 2018 8:50 pm This drama is interesting and fun to watch. Love the added flavor of ' A Better tomorrow' by Leslie Cheung playing in the background. Of course Jang Hyuk and Junho are the sugar and spice that completes this palate

Rae won May 08 2018 6:50 pm Jang Hyuk is the best actor.I really2 love his role in this drama, so funny?

Lol May 08 2018 5:16 pm For those who have been asking why Jang Hyuk took some sort of 2nd lead role. Now you know why. He has the most interesting and funny character in this drama. Even if hr doesn't grt the girl, this will be one of.his memorable roles ever.

Sheikha May 08 2018 4:01 pm I can't wait for episode 3... I just fall in love with this drama I feel like it's been a long time since I watched a k drama that makes me laugh so hard lmao

Nana May 08 2018 2:40 pm Junho yah ..fighting ><

shin May 08 2018 8:19 am Jang Hyuk

Lila May 07 2018 7:47 pm I know its just the beginning but i’m loving it already! Seems like a fun drama! I enjoyed and laughed a lot lol

JiAh May 07 2018 6:41 pm I don't know but I trust Jang Hyuk's choice of dramas/movies. This drams seems seems fun :)

Amy May 07 2018 5:36 pm I have no idea about the storyline after watching the first episode today... I don't get what we're watching or where it's going... well it's still the first week so... "hwating"

unnie May 07 2018 5:14 am After chief kim, too many opportunities opened for junho! ❤ I am looking forward for another glutonuous session with junho here. Especially his ice cream cravings ?

Ozmm May 02 2018 6:05 am Jung Ryeo Won's acting is great.

Post-it girl May 02 2018 12:49 am All the best JH for Baeksang Awards !

liri May 01 2018 9:13 pm I don't know who to ship!! I'm scared for my heart now.

Apex May 01 2018 7:39 pm ..... So excited to Junho oppa taking the lead again<3 I’m waiting for this drama oppa!!

1234 May 01 2018 6:44 am Jang Hyuk oppa!!! You are so talented and handsome! Thanks for working nonstop. It makes us fans very happy to see u all the time. We support u all the way!

Jun Ho! Liked u in Chief Kim! Hope it will be the same in this drama. The bromance. 5 more days to go!

Vali May 01 2018 1:11 am Enjoy drama. Jang Hyuk was main lead in Slave Hunters but second lead got the girl.

CKW Apr 28 2018 11:59 am Are people still fussing over who is main lead and second lead?? OMG Who cares???? It matters NOT. The actors decided to do this drama regardless so why the eff do you all care so much on the billing??? Quality of a drama depends on the writing and the acting not who is the main protagonist. Sigh. Also whichever is the OTP matters not. Stop being so trivial.

Chem Apr 27 2018 2:31 pm It's not the first case when veteran lost the lead status to newer rising actor but that doesn't mean that his character isn't important for example Kim Myung Min and Yoo Ah In in Six Flying Dragons, Cha Seung Won and Lee Seung Gi in You're All Surrounded/Hwayugi, Song Yoon Ah and Yoona in the K2. Even though Janghyuk isn't listed as the lead here,I'm sure his character is important and interesting and that's why he decided to comeback with this drama. Fighting!

Hj Apr 27 2018 9:16 am Love Jang Hyuk and Jung Ryeo Won

Ona Apr 27 2018 12:52 am Yesss Junho! I can't wait for him to blow away all the naysayers. Get that leading man status <3

Ozmm Apr 26 2018 4:29 am Jung Ryeo Won's acting is great. If you watch this drama, you will see. She is perfect. I watched 4-5 dramas and 2-3 movies for only Ryeo Won. You can trust her.

Age Gap Apr 25 2018 5:32 pm Since they brought the age closer. I think the OTP is Jun Ho and JRW. Anyway, nuff about that. Let's just look forward to the bromance guys..

Wam Apr 25 2018 1:42 pm Actually in the teasers the age gap between Junho and JRW's character is just 2 years. He's supposed to be 31 & she's 33 and JH's supposed to be 40. But anyway, this obsession with the love lines are annoying, just watch the drama or don't if you can't handle the idea of JH not getting the girl lol.

CKW Apr 25 2018 10:51 am I think it's obvious af after the 2nd trailor that it's Jang Hyuk x Ryeo Won OTP not Junho and her. Plus the age gap is kind of obvious too.

@Ann Joel Apr 25 2018 7:39 am Hi there. Not sure if they are the OTP though. I hope they are but I am ready if they aren't. :)

Ann Joel Apr 25 2018 7:07 am This starts on the 7th May a Monday night in Korea so I’ll watch it Tuesday evening so okay I’m gonna make sure I order Chinese takeaways for dinner cos I ain’t watching this on a empty stomach. Also Jang Ryuk and Jung Ryeo Won as the OTP for this drama what a clinch ❤️

rin Apr 21 2018 7:33 am im sooooo wok

myxblush Apr 19 2018 12:53 pm Just got done watching Junho in Just Between Lovers, love his acting. Excited for this, he’s so cute!

unKnown Apr 19 2018 8:03 am So the Leading Man here is Junho not jang hyuk because its said on the plot Drama series follows Seo Poong's attempts at survival, food and love.

Seo Poong is JunHo

Kvothe Apr 19 2018 7:00 am Junho looks so fine in the teaser pics and the trailer. That smile *_* I'm in love LOL More in love with him than before XD

The pairing is obviously RyeoWon x Jang Hyuk. People should stfu and just either wait and watch or not watch. So superficial of them to worry over trivial things. Actors are happy with the script which is why they decided to do this drama. Fandoms are poisonous. Fangirls should calm their tits.

Xxx Apr 18 2018 11:23 am Jung Ryeo Won is so young and beautiful in teaser. Jang Hyuk and Ryeo Won, must watch kk

CKW Apr 18 2018 5:58 am Everyone obssessing over Junho or Janghyuk being main lead/second lead stfu and gtfo. You people are the infestion that makes fandom toxic. So do everyone a favour and stfu and gtfo.

캐리 Apr 18 2018 5:36 am Aaaaa lee junho♥

Ozmm Apr 17 2018 10:51 pm Yoana unni fighting!

Ozmm Apr 17 2018 10:50 pm Ryeo Won is so pretty

Confused Apr 17 2018 9:06 pm But in which universe the writers ask Jang Hyuk to be second lead?

Ann Joel Apr 17 2018 5:40 am Yayy Jang Hyuk and Jung Ryeo Won and Junho brilliant cast and storyline and after Money Flower I'm ready to see JH again and I love JRW in anything it doesn't matter what she is in and Junho because he's Junho from 2pm. See you all May 7th ❤️ This looks like a solid piece of work; can't wait!!! Ohhhhh hurry up May!!!!

DiJay Apr 17 2018 5:35 am I am actually liking his character more than the lead's. A former gangster who now wants to change his and his minions lives thru a small chinese retaurant. Hahahah. From the teasers alone, I think Junho and Jang Hyuk's bromance will be amazing. I hooe the writer won't mess it up ans give us an engaging storyline.

@Dijay Apr 17 2018 4:38 am Or like "I already have my girl I don't care if they don't give me one in the drama." Funny how forever single dudes keep romancing girls on the screen and real life commited guy is left empty-handed.

Generally when writers provides room for his character's growth he rules the whole screen.

I'm curious how it goes when he plays second fiddle. His presence is generally domineering.

B_l Apr 17 2018 4:16 am second lead O.o

DiJay Apr 17 2018 2:06 am @@DiJay IKR. He's like "I'm already married in real life so I can't get the girl" .LOL. Yeah I've watched Chuno. SPOILER: Gave everything including his life and he still does not get the girl. So seeing him here not get the girl is fine by me. I'm used to it. hahaha

@DiJay Apr 16 2018 11:54 pm @DiJay Sometimes his girl dies, cheats or marries other man. Sometimes he himself dies. Sometimes there is no romeantic relationship. SPOILER: Even in Chuno his most famous work Oh Ji Ho gets Lee Da Hae.

DiJay Apr 16 2018 11:25 pm ROFL @Even when he plays the lead roles he always doesn't get the girl.

So right! hahaha

Neatpick Apr 16 2018 9:13 pm Is it only me or this drama has the same feeling as manager kim?

@popcorn and coke Apr 16 2018 6:39 pm Don't worry. Jang Hyuk must have reason to do so. It's not like someone forced him to accept that. He is unpredictable person. Even when he plays the lead roles he always doesn't get the girl.

popcorn and coke Apr 16 2018 12:22 pm Never seen Jang Hyuk take the second lead. I could never watch this if he's the second lead. My heart will break apart if he doesnt get the girl.

Hotelier Apr 16 2018 11:36 am Jun Ho ssi, aja aja fighting! I'm surprised this will air in May, i thought it's gonna be later than that. I'm rooting for you Jun ho :D

xinmure Apr 16 2018 4:58 am hwaiting lee jun ho ?

GWXNXX Apr 16 2018 12:44 am Will be watching this for Janghyuk. ❤️

Ozmm Apr 12 2018 6:22 am Jung Ryeo Won.... I hope it will be a successful drama...

@Whtadidyousay Apr 10 2018 8:06 pm Exactly my thoughts. I don't care who gets first billing as long as it's a successful drama I'll be happy for both of them.

Whtadidyousay Apr 09 2018 8:16 pm @rosiana Why does it matter whose name is first? You should check the platforms conciously because in some of them LJH's name is first and in some it's not. How could you conclude that it was done by JH's fans and they are being OTT by putting JH's name first. If you had taken some time to think over then you must have known the people who put the names were not diehard JH fans but avid Korean drama viewers and reviewers. It's clear that most of them are more familiar with JH and they may not know who is the actual 'lead' actor. To tell you the fact some threads have been started by LJH's fans and they have put JH's name first. Why to make issue of every minor thing? Let everybody enjoy the drama and try to think positively.

wurry Apr 09 2018 9:06 am Cant Wait your next drama,,,,fighting Junho yaa,,,love u moren more ????

candra Apr 09 2018 6:07 am lee junho fighting...!! greasy melo fighting...!!

Rosiana Apr 09 2018 3:52 am @yeppudayoonie Idk about who is getting first billing but Jang Hyuk's fans are already being OTT and putting his name first on every platform. Surprised Asianwiki didn't do that. Because looking at the plot, its obvious Junho is the central character.

yeye Apr 07 2018 8:45 am i wait for Junho Comeback drama!!!!

Sunshine Apr 05 2018 6:14 am Awww..Hyukie has a new drama and he plays another badass character? Any dear writer-nim plans to give him a sweet character to play. He is such an adorable quirky cheerful fluffball in real life. When does he rest? I get tired just by seeing him working constantly.

Tsunade from phil. Apr 04 2018 11:28 pm Jang hyuk my idol.you have another koreandrama i finish watching your latest drama my money flower.saranghee oppa

Mal Apr 01 2018 7:27 am Junho and Janghyuk are really working hard though. They both just finished their last dramas, and both played quite gruelling character roles too. I've been a fan of Janghyuk ever since Successful Story of a Bright Girl, and I'm a fan of Junho now too after watching him in Chief Kim and Just Between Lovers. I for one am hella excited for this drama, because I can't think of two generational actors I'd want together more. This drama truly has a line up I never knew I wanted. I really hope the writing and story lives up to the line-up tbh. And I really, really hope they'll have great chemistry with each other and together with Jung Ryeowon too.

JongdaeDaTroll Mar 31 2018 5:46 am i got shook by the comments down there, but got more shook when i read that JH fans are underestimating LJH because it looks like he got the first role and as a JH fan im going to be honest that i also questioned 'why is it like that' but thinking more deeply and more 'mature', it wasn't really bad to questioned them to why they put him but its rather offensive to bash LJH without even an assurance that he is really the lead role like come on guys the drama isnt even starting and you already degrading the actor? I just hope they will understand this. Tbh, it was really surprising that Jang Hyuk already have a new drama after finishing Money Flower its not like i know how or what they do to have their own drama or what but not that im complaining.

Nobody bashed Junho Mar 30 2018 6:44 pm But nobody actually bashed Junho. Only @adi's comment can be considered bashing and that comment is really inappropriate. On the contrary JH fans have been called 'petty', 'cancerous' and so on. This is also wrong thing to do. JH fans only expressed surprise because JH is listed as a second lead. He always plays lead characters and is a senior actor too so he is always billed first in the dramas. That's it. Other side shouldn't take offence of such comments unless someone actually put LJH down. In the end it doesn't matter who is getting top billing or the lead role. Only thing we should wish for is good writing-directing and high ratings. We even don't have proper details of the characters and stories so let's not assume the things. I think three main characters will get equally importance in the drama.

@Helli Mar 30 2018 1:06 pm Hell yeah. These days I find bromances in Kdramas more entertaining than other pairing. Jang Hyuk and Lee Junho are actors who pull off bromances really well. I'm excited to see their bromance way more than their interaction with Jung Ryeo Won.

Prime Mar 30 2018 6:39 am I'm JH fan but I also loved LJH's acting. He was lucky to get great projects in recent years. If he keeps going with the present pace then he'll make really big in the acting world too.

Anzu Mar 30 2018 5:20 am Yes this drana might have 3 lead character but I don't like joon ho acting....that's my view and I have a right to do so. I am just complaining not hating him. moreover he is paterned with great actor and actress and I am concern how he goona pull it. And please I am not complaining his acting without watching his pervious project.

yeppudayoonie Mar 30 2018 2:02 am There isnt any rule that senior actors should get the first billing, It just happen that Seo Pong is the central character w/c is Junho's role.. Janghyuk is just perfect for his role, if they will exchange roles the drama wouldnt be convincing...please be reminded.that there is no second lead or something those there are the main roles, which.means that they are all equal, I have a strong feeling that JH will play a character.like Master.Kim in romantic doctor teacher.kim'who is a person.with many life lessons to tell..

So chill Guys!'lets just hope that we will have news for the first script reading coz this will only make this drama offcial

Helli Mar 29 2018 11:13 pm Bromance please!!!

Miro Bico Mar 29 2018 9:02 pm @Anyone bashing Lee Junho.

Dear Bashers,

Before bashing the actor, please try to watch his past kdramas to at least give him a chance to redeem himself to you (well, IMHO, why would he do that anyway?). What's with the bashing? All the actors agreed to be a part of this drama, so what's the fuss? People need to realise that there's a lot of kdrama pairings like this recently, Goblin, Hwayugi and the likes. We are all kdrama addicts and we support the persom we like. So if your favorite actor decide to choose a project, just be happy and be supportive. Let's all be one big happy family. Bashing other actors just because of billing or something is childish (unless you are below 12).

Please do watch Chief Kim and Just Between Lovers before you bash the poor guy. Let's just wish for this drama to get high ratings. Hating one actor and loving another in the same drama and deciding not to watch it all together is being crazy- plain and simple.

Let's wish everyone happiness! Namaste! Group hug! :)

Rosiana Mar 28 2018 7:39 pm I'm pretty sure Jang Hyuk is going to get first billing. All the media articles wrote his name first, followed by Jung Ryeowon and then Junho. This is out of respect for him as a senior actor, despite the synopsis showing that Junho is the main lead. Jang Hyuk fans should be happy with that already. So stop thrash talking Junho when you all clearly don't know how good he is.

unnie Mar 28 2018 8:29 am I'm looking forward to this one!!!! Especially the bromance just like in Chief Kim. It is mor interesting! And of course, since junho is here, FOODS! Especially sweeeeeeets. My Gluttonous eater ❤

yeppudayoonie Mar 28 2018 5:41 am Why do Some JH fans underestimate JunHo's acting??'u should see his previous projects first before u say he's not worth it.. He did an excellent job in Chief kim and Just between lovers!'he is just not another idol.. he does his best and result a very good outcome un his projects.. JH has proven himself.. Give junho a Chance and im sure Youll say that un were wrong about him

Yuri Mar 26 2018 8:38 pm Jang Hyuk! Jang Hyuk! Jang Hyuk!

Ozmm Mar 26 2018 4:23 am I love Jung Ryeo Won's acting. I admire her. I watched these dramas and movies;

History of a Salaryman
Lord of dramas
Bubblegum
Witch's Court
Castaway on the Moon
Pained
Never Ending Story

For her.

Yoana is a great actress. I always support her.

Sharon Mar 26 2018 3:10 am Jang Hyuk and Lee Mi Sook, again? Money Flower mini reunion. I like them both!! Can’t wait for this one, looking forward to Jung RW, too! Awesome, deep cast.

Igjam Mar 25 2018 3:41 pm I'm looking forward to the bromance more than the romance. I just get this feeling Junho and Jang Hyuk are gonna have so much fun with each other. JH^squared!

I love when Jang Hyuk gets to show every side of the emotional spectrum, cause he is an actor that can do that seamlessly.

Junho stole scenes from the comedy god Namgoon Min in Chief Kim, and tore our hearts out in JBL. He is not just a great idol actor, but a great actor period.

I wish I'd seen the lady in anything, but I'm sure she'll round it all out nicely.

Al Mar 24 2018 7:56 am I was really excited when I heard the casting announcement for this drama. All three are solid actors, and since he's relatively new I'm really happy to see Junho leading another drama and working together with great veterans. I'm surprised at the reaction of some Janghyuk fans though, didn't think such immature fans are still around in an older fandom. I for one am very curious to see what he would bring to this role. He won't have chosen the project if he didn't think the character was worth his time. Anyway, I hope this will be a good drama with good ratings!

Panda Mar 24 2018 7:08 am this might be like Goblin, where they used two top stars who are always the male lead as the main leads, there was no love triangle and they were equal in status and power. when i looked at Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook in the drama that's what i thought, and i got why Lee Dong Wook took that role, because it didn't feel like the cliche first lead and second lead story in usual k dramas, they both had their own back story, both had their own character development. so i think it's the same for this drama as well.

maybe writers are getting sick of the cliche first lead vs second lead in a bloody love triangle too, where we know who the love rival is and who loses at the end.

i loved Jung Ryeo Won's acting in History of a Salaryman and Lord of dramas.

First time i saw Seo Yool was in Chief Kim, and i knew he was going to make it big.

Yshay Mar 23 2018 11:20 am Good to see that hyuk had another rule to be a character

6

Ozmm Mar 23 2018 11:06 am Someone says they don't want to see JH with her. Because of her age. I wish she will be with Jang Hyuk in this drama but not JH. (i'm not anti for JH)

Ozmm Mar 23 2018 10:58 am I'm Jung Ryeo Won's fan. She is the best for me. I hope this drama will be good. Don't say anything to her ages. She is wonderful.

Thank You Swan Mar 23 2018 7:28 am Thank you. You said it loud and clear.

Swan Mar 23 2018 3:18 am And for Lee Jun Ho's fans too don't pay attention to such negative comments and stop posting them on twitter or elsewhere. Don't add fuel to fire by reacting in negative way. Few newish JH fans who are obviously not too familiar with JH and his ways and looking down on LJH are completely wrong. But all of the comment are not written in negative spirit. It's natural for the fans to wonder why JH is playing second fiddle to newer actor because he always plays the lead roles and how JH doesn't have top billing in the drama. Don't assume their surprise as hate and same way if someone doesn't like LJH as an actor doesn't mean they are hating on him. Most of the JH fans are too mature for such childish fanwars. So stop overraecting. And enjoy the drama together regardless of who is getting more screen time.

Swan Mar 23 2018 2:45 am Hard to believe JH also has these kind of fans. Since morning I've been having discussion with other fans about this animosity being spread out on the internet and it spoiled the thrill of seeing JH in a new drama. Dear fellow JH fans please stop being annoying. Hyukie is not a baby but a 41 years old worldly man who has seen both good and bad days. He has been in showbiz for more than half of his life. Don't you think he knows what he is doing. He himself chooses this project don't act like he has been demoted or something. He takes unconventional decisions many times. He just had two hit dramas. If you ever take time to read his interviews then you may know he is already planning to do a knew project in the end of the year so he is probably doing this drama because he rarely appears in a comedy. We even don't know how significant his part will be. Let the man clear it himself at the press conference. Don't make assumptions and never look down on other actor. It's not Lee Jun Ho's fault that JH has taken this role. They are all hard working people. If you are genuine fans then you must also learn the elegance of attitude from JH and accept everything with open herat. JH is a free person and he can choose whatever he wants to. He doesn't owe us anything.

Rastine Mar 22 2018 1:34 pm You should watch Just Between Lovers.. junho is sooo gooooddddd. He will blow your mind!! Fighting oppa ❤❤

Rastine Mar 22 2018 1:32 pm You should watch Just Between Lovers before you underestimate him. It will blow your mind!

rofl Mar 22 2018 12:36 pm Haha petty JH fans everywhere.

JH fan Mar 22 2018 10:34 am @Anzu There is a possibility of 2 leads in this drama. If that's not thr case, then we just have to consider that Hyukie took this project for a reason. Jun Ho is not at all that bad. He is a good actor. Let's just support Jang Hyuk in whatever project he does. :)

Lee Shi Young Mar 22 2018 10:29 am You guys must to watch Just Between Lovers. Junho play the role of Lee Kangdoo. His acting is so well and you will amazed him.

Anzu Mar 22 2018 6:30 am From synopsis we can guess that joon ho charcter is lead..then jang hyuk is second lead??seriously??????..I really like ryeon won but i can't handal jang hyuk being second lead..I am not so fond of joon ho acting either?

DeeJy Mar 22 2018 2:17 am Another Jang Hyuk drama. YEESSS!!! Can't wait for this. I actually liked Jun Ho's character in Chief Kim. So I am hoping for another bromance here. Hyukie oppa, please do not spoil us fans so much by taking too many projects continuously. We might miss you so much if you rest. LOL

@Adi Mar 21 2018 2:41 pm Apparently you like to say BS without knowing anything. That "young guy" is hell of an actor and without a doubt one of the best actor among idols period. Maybe try to actually watch him before casting doubts. K?

CKW Mar 21 2018 2:39 pm Junho in another drama? He was excellent in Chief Kim and mindblowing in Just Between Lovers. I'm anticipating this beyond words now.

kloe Mar 21 2018 11:23 am wooow... 3 of my fav celebrities...... ??????cant wait for this drama

Hotelier Mar 21 2018 7:41 am Ah :D so this is official. I kinda wish this will be like Chief kim style, less romance and more to the professional field with touch of humor. Aja2 fighting writer nim, please make this a good food drama ???

Hotelier Mar 21 2018 7:18 am @Adi : Jun Ho can act very well, you can try watch him in Chief kim (he is not any lessen than Nam Goong Min) or his latest drama, Just between lover. Completely different person.

Go Mar 21 2018 4:06 am Lee Joon Ho and Jang Hyuk in one drama. I cannot.....

Ann Joel Mar 21 2018 3:11 am Jung Ryeo Won what a score! This drama sounds epic and Jang Hyuk is a lead so is Junho and JRW - so much talent! Plus the writer has an extensive body of previous work and tonnes of script writing experience so this drama is gonna go off! Glad they all confirmed and please fans shipping Junho and Win Jin Ah wishing for WJA to makes a cameo umm no thank you. If that ever happens then cameos for Park Se Young (JH's love interest from Money Flower) and Yoon Hyun Min (JRW's partner in Witch Court) as well. Can I ask who devises these English titles? What the hell is a Greasy Melo? Can someone please explain? Anyway this is locked down for May Monday-Tuesday drama schedule. Thank you Writer; PD; cast and crew! ❤️

DiJay Mar 21 2018 12:14 am @meowmeow I guess he wants to do as much work as he can. I really hope he gets some rest after this drama and after promoting his film. But at the same time I am hoping he doesn't so I can always see him on my screen. LOL

meowmeow Mar 20 2018 10:58 pm this is a great cast and writer, so i'm really excited! but does jang hyuk ever rest? money flower ended in february and he is already doing another drama

Watcher Mar 09 2018 9:27 pm Why people always have mindset that 2 men in one drama should be the main and the second lead? There is new trend in korean drama to have 3 main lead with 2 men and 1 woman, such "Romantic Doctor: Teacher Kim", "Defendant", "Cross", etc. For this drama, lets think that Jang-hyuk will be "Teacher Kim" or "Jo Jae-hyun in Cross", or maybe main villain like "Uhm Ki-joon in Defendant"

Amnesia Mar 04 2018 5:55 am @adi loool, go and watch his dramas. That "young guy" can act :).

Sera Mar 02 2018 5:35 pm Seems very macho

adi Mar 02 2018 8:31 am How can that young guy be lead and Jang Hyuk second lead? Does this even make sense??? Jang Hyuk deserves better... I hope he declines.

Liaa Mar 02 2018 7:10 am This writter :O . I am in!!

Antique Mar 02 2018 12:46 am Junho and Janghyuk in one drama.. Holy molyy my live is complete >,<
