Info in Movie News | Go Min Si is taking on a fresh new challenge in the upcoming ENA drama Tastefully Yours. This time, she’s not just serving food, she’s serving heartfelt emotions in a warm romantic comedy set in South Korea’s food capital, Jeonju.
According to Soompi, Tastefully Yours tells the story of Mo Yeon Joo, a dedicated chef running her own fine dining restaurant, and Han Beom Woo, a second-generation chaebol who values the look of a dish more than its flavor. Their paths cross unexpectedly and they end up co-managing a small restaurant together. While their philosophies clash at first, their relationship slowly simmers into something more.
Go Min Si talked about her character Mo Yeon Joo as a stubborn but sincere someone, a person who believes in cooking with integrity. “She has unique ideas, but she is caring and very compassionate,” replied the actress. She has related her character to kimbap, a simple dish, yet it can be very memorable if prepared with care. Furthermore, she disclosed that she underwent long hours of training in cooking and also adapted to the Jeonju dialect so as to make her character look real.
The program Tastefully Yours only has a small staff, excluding the main leads, who are professional to such an extent that they lift the story to another level of depth and give it a distinctive touch.
Bae Na Ra takes on the part of Han Seon Woo, the ambitious older brother of Han Beom Woo. He’s a wise and a rival in the family’s food business empire. After making an impact in Weak Hero Class 2, Bae Na Ra reverted by stepping into the dark corporate persona he played. Already experienced in musicals and also a short career as a K-Pop idol, he brings with him his thespian skills as well as his intensity to every scene.
Hong Hwa Yeon steps in as Jang Young Hye, a fashionable and cool-headed celebrity chef. She becomes both a professional and romantic rival to Mo Yeon Joo, adding another layer of drama. Her past work in Buried Hearts and Bora! Deborah shows she’s ready to shine in more complex roles.
Adding to the attraction of Jeonju is the presence of veteran actors, Yoon Byung Hee, and Lee Joong Ok, who play the roles of local shop owners in the neighborhood by their funny and warm nature and at the same time remain the grounded, everyday characters witnessing the joys and sorrows of life in and around the restaurant.
Known for its interesting blend of romance, rivalry, and food, Tastefully Yours is actually a trip to flavor-land in the culinary paradise of Jeonju. In the drama, the scriptwriter succeeded in harmonizing and then contrasting family issues touched with top-notch emotional depth and the enjoyable and yet serious undertones of stories of cooking.
Scheduled for a premiere on 12 May 2025, 10 p.m. KST on ENA, Tastefully Yours is guaranteed to be a very romantic film more than just a romantic cliché that people expect. Be it for the slow-burn romance, the kitchen chemistry or solely the beautiful food shots, it is a fact that you don't have to think twice about it; it's simply worth adding it to your to-watch list.
