The new drama Tastefully Yours, featuring Kang Ha Neul and Go Min Si, has begun its run on Netflix, with the first two episodes released on May 12th and 13th (Monday and Tuesday). This series presents a unique story of culinary competition that evolves into a romantic relationship between two people with different financial standings and contrasting characters. Let’s recap the important events of the initial episodes and explore what the upcoming week might hold.
In the first two episodes of Tastefully Yours, Han Beom Woo (Kang Ha Neul), the heir to a major food company, embarks on a mission to gather top recipes from competitors, intending to feature them as original dishes at his upscale restaurant, Motto. He employs questionable tactics to pressure rival restaurant owners into either selling to his company or facing failure. During this process, Han Beom Woo encounters Mo Yeon Joo (Go Min Si), who runs a small, unassuming restaurant on the outskirts of Seoul.
Despite her exceptional culinary talents, Mo Yeon Joo struggles with a lack of customers and faces the risk of losing her restaurant due to unpaid rent. Han Beom Woo sees an opportunity and proposes a deal to manage her restaurant’s operations and public relations for a month. However, his true intention is to secretly acquire Mo Yeon Joo’s valuable recipes for Motto, a plan she eventually discovers. To find out what unfolds next in their story, viewers can watch episodes 3 and 4 on May 19th and 20th at 10 PM Korean Standard Time (6:30 PM Indian Standard Time).
In the next week’s episodes, Han Beom Woo’s brother and competitor in the inheritance battle, Han Seon Woo (Bae Na Ra), will dispatch head chef Jang Yeong Hye (Hong Hwa Yeon) to investigate Han Beom Woo’s activities in the outskirts. Jang Yeong Hye will also attempt to persuade Mo Yeon Joo to terminate her agreement with Han Beom Woo by revealing his unethical business practices. Simultaneously, the heir of another local restaurant, Sin Chun Seung (Yoo Soo Bin), will set fire to Mo Yeon Joo’s humble establishment.
His motive behind this destructive act is to seek revenge for Mo Yeon Joo and Han Beom Woo allegedly taking away his long-time and most valued employee, Jin Myeong Suk (Kim Shin Rok). As the main characters navigate these mounting challenges together, a romantic connection is expected to naturally develop between them.
The drama Tastefully Yours explores the intertwining lives of two individuals from different financial worlds and contrasting personalities against the backdrop of a culinary rivalry.
