“Tastefully Yours” Reviews and Fan Reactions
"Tastefully Yours" at 26th Jeonju International Film Festival
Viewers are already loving the drama after the first two episodes this week. Fans on Reddit are praising the chemistry and performance of Kang HaNeul and Go MinSi. They are also excited about how the story will develop in the refreshing setting of Jeonju.
One fan wrote, "Great first episode! It's interesting and entertaining."
"I'm sold. First two episodes were so fun!" another fan wrote.
"What a refreshing first episode! One of the rare ones where there is not a single boring bit," a viewer commented.
There are also discussions on how "Tastefully Yours" has similarities with the premise of "The Potato Lab" and "Brewing Love," but with a different twist.
Go MinSi, who was recently nominated as Best Actress at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards for the mystery-thriller "The Frog," is showing her range in acting in "Tastefully Yours," portraying a very different character from her recent drama.
Kang HaNeul, on the other hand, is killing his portrayal of a jerk character who somehow remains likeable—a different role from his well-known performances in "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" and "When the Camellia Blooms."
The popularity of the drama isn’t only evident in social media discussions but is also reflected in the viewership. According to Nielsen Korea, the viewership ratings for the second episode of “Tastefully Yours” began to rise from 1.6% to 2% nationwide, showing a good response and high expectations for the drama.
