First Impression: Let's Eat Episode 1

Hmm, let me see? This show totally captured my attention first with food however, I was kind of hesitant to start yet excited because I might have bad cravings that I won't be able to satisfy. And that exactly is one of the worst things that could happen to me. I don't want myself to be frustrated over that fact however, yadda yadda I tried tasting the flavor of this series and I am totally in. The story is bias towards their main objective which is to highlight food, more food and the elements that would spice up everything. I am not complaining though.

So I started watching this show with the knowledge of how surprisingly good it was as I have heard from k-netizens. Oh well, I believe in them so I was tagged along with their expectation. Regarding with the casts, this is my first time seeing Yoon Do Joon act in a drama and he's the only one I'm familiar with in there. So what have I expected from him? Not much but probably it was sort of refreshing to know that he has built an impressive debut to most of the viewers through his character Koo Dae Young which is still not clear to me about his being. He came off as a weirdo, messy and disorganized. In other words, he's a random guy with a talent in eating on-the-go foods though I mean, he must have a real great appetite to be able to satisfy himself with it. Going back to him being an actor, I know that this is perhaps his second project as an actor after IRIS II which I didn't bother watching because of the unfavorable opinion of netizens. Anyway, I just have to mention it because there were no special regard for Doo Joon's acting when it aired. So, I feel the need to emphasize that I didn't have the background to start with in him in that aspect. Fortunately, I am kind of nodding my head. My favorite scene was when he talked about the difference in jajangmyun that kind of freaked the lady in front oh him. Hah.

Moving on with the show, I expected it to start with a cinematography featuring food like for example the delicious and mouth watering illustration of the first scenes in Pasta if you have seen that show which is about food as well. On the other hand, they first centered their focus on the woman, the lead actress of the show, Lee Soo Kyung. So there, I didn't know about her existence until I happened to watch this and I must say that she passed my standard of becoming a semi-obsessed next to Koo Dae Young (Yoon Do Joon) over food with an amazing appetite. Okay, to give her character a background, whenever she feels stressed after being loaded with stressful work, she tends to crave for a food to comfort her and such. Who else doesn't feel that way? But then, since this show wanted the story to be put together in this kind of plot, then food has a special role to fill in. 

I don't have an idea about the supporting casts either (Yoon Soo Hee - the student and Shim Hyung Tak) but so far so good, they did fine. Please excuse my unfamiliarity with them but again, it's okay for as long as this drama continues to be good in itself. To be honest, I really want this drama to do well just for the fulfillment of its job - that is not exactly towards the viewership rating and but for the story to be compelled with passion in the name of food. Haha, this sounds funny to me but yeah, I love the light element it offers as it gives off de-stress vibes. I am okay just if in case they add romance on the story but only if it doesn't overpower the main attraction of the series hence, food.

Verdict: tvN did it again. Please let me love you!
