Why do they always have to pick a main actress who is plain instead of pretty, who acts stupid but feels entitled, who the main actor ends up falling in love with? I usually have a real dislike and distaste for these women, specially the actresses because they get better roles than the pretty ones. That is so annoying!!’

@Jason Sudekis: because simple beauty captures the heart of an audience. and its realistic though… well, its not really the actors or actresses whos important for me, its the character that theyve been playing… and they portrayed it very well even though they have simple or plain beauty…

In Episode 17 about half way through, Oh Sae Young is sitting in a restaurant when a report approaches her. Playing in the background is a song. Does anyone know the name of the song and who sings it?
Thanks!

I become curious watching this drama after seeing it in the top 20 most share drama of this site since this is the only one that I’m not familiar with. I love it at the beginning but as the episode goes on, I kinda dislike the development of Seo Yoo Kyung’s character. Although, it’s cute that she is sometimes innocent especially in expressing her feelings towards chef Choi Hyun Wook but I hate that she is so dumb in choosing her between her career and her love for him. Huh!
The best thing that I like in this drama is the way they presented their cooking skills. They look so professional in it.
