🍲 The Taste of You: When Business Turns Personal
ENA and Genie TV’s original drama The Taste of You is gaining traction — not only for its culinary backdrop, but for the evolving chemistry between its leads.
In recent developments, Kang Ha-neul (Han Beom-woo) and Go Min-si (Mo Yeon-joo) find themselves in a delicate emotional shift. What started as a reluctant partnership rooted in survival — he needs a restaurant, she needs financial backing — is now stirring up something unexpected: romantic tension.
🔪 From Rivalry to Real Emotion
Beom-woo, the heir to a food empire, initially partners with Yeon-joo to win a prestigious culinary award and secure his inheritance. But as they run Jeongje, a fusion bistro, together, sharp disagreements give way to mutual admiration. Their late-night staff dinners, once awkward and tense, now hint at something warmer.
Yeon-joo, who once bristled at Beom-woo’s elitist approach, begins to see sincerity behind his ambition. Meanwhile, Beom-woo realizes his interest in her isn’t just professional — and it’s making him nervous.
🧾 Side Plots Simmering
- Beom-woo’s battle with his brother Han Seon-woo for the family legacy intensifies under their mother’s watchful eye.
- Former staff member Jin Myeong-sook returns, catching the eye of gukbap heir Shin Chun-seung, who stalks Jeongje hoping to lure her back.
- The restaurant itself becomes a battleground of flavors, ideologies, and now… feelings.
