Yoo-kyung is an aspiring chef, working in an Italian restaurant in Korea as an
assistant. After 3 years she finally gets to move up the line and
hold a frying pan, but then her boss is fired. The new head chef is
determined to fire all the women from the kitchen, but Yoo-kyung
keeps coming back and eventually wins over the chef. It turns out
that the head chef, Choi Hyun-wook, was betrayed by his former
girlfriend, Oh Sae-young, when she sabotaged his ingredients during a
cooking competition. The restaurant manager, Kim San, is friends with
Oh Sae-young, however, and lets her in as a “co-head chef,” much
to Hyun-wook's dismay. Sae-young wants to win back Hyun-wook, but he
is developing feelings for the lowly Yoo-kyung, despite his decree
that there would be no dating in his kitchen.
*I
loved the chemistry between Chef and Yoo-kyung. It felt much more
organic than most flirtations between drama couples. The anticipated
rivalry between all the lovers, however, was much more civil than I
expected, to the point of being boring. For a firmly reality-based
drama, it was pretty good. I might
watch
it again.*
