Oppaaaaaaaa! Okay, sorry, I just had to get that out. But can you blame me for the outburst? Lee Sang-woo is currently rocking my socks off as the bestest oppa ever in Thousand Day Promise, so I’m excited that he’s already got another project lined up. It’s a cooking drama called Feast of the Gods, set for weekend broadcast in January. He’ll be joining Joo Sang-wook (Giant), who’s currently starring in cable network OCN’s detective series TEN. Well that’s a lot of pretty to share a screen.
They’re also joined by Seo Hyun-jin from The Duo and Gu Hye-sun’s Magic, while the main role, that of leading lady and chef, is yet to be cast. The name in contention for the lead is Sung Yuri, but there have been rumors and denials left and right, so we’ll have to wait and see on that.
The drama is about two female chefs who battle in the kitchen and at love. Lee Sang-woo plays the heir to a large food corporation (of course), but the company is run by his mother, and their relationship is strained. In order to win the girl of his dreams, he takes odd jobs in the kitchen as the low man on the food chain, and eventually becomes a successful businessman.
The theme of the drama is East vs. West cuisine, which sounds like great fun. Mostly these dramas are all about the flashy mouth-watering food porn, so I’m sure they’ll do a good job with that. There’s very little information on Joo Sang-wook’s character, which is strange, given that I would normally assume that he’s the higher-billed star. If the women are the chefs, maybe he’s another member of the kitchen staff, or perhaps the restauranteur.
Behind the scenes are PD Lee Dong-yoon of Best Love and writer Jo Eun-jung (Goldfish, White Lies). Feast of the Gods premieres in January on MBC.

Lee Sang-woo!!!!!!!!!!!!
tempting to watch eh….
how come you resist food porn and pretty oppas??
definitely will watch this.
Lee Sang Woo! I love him! He’s got the best bod…Let’s hope we get to see some of it in this drama…and, he can act, too.
SOO MUCH EYE CANDY. cant wait
Drooling…..
One guy is the only reason i watched life is beautiful and the other is the only thing i remember about paradise farm ( shirt’s buttons ajuhssi )…
Now to be sincere i will watch the show ONLY because it’s about cuisine. I’m french so the excuse fits perfectly.
so? he will be the lead for male? count me in!
Looks and sounds downright yummy!
I hope Sung Yuri will play the lead. I just want to see her in another drama. Her last drama was such a let down when it had such a stellar cast.
agree.
Maids/Romance Town was the drama where the writers and PD managed to waste the talents of every actor in it.
The last Darama of Sung Yuri Was Very Nice Now I am Waiting For Some New
Wowowow Joo Sang-wook is on a roll!
OMG! there will be an overload of Opppaaaaaaaaaaaa comes january!!!
I feel in love with Joo Sang-wook in Giant and who can top Lee Sang-woo as the ultimate Oppa, squee!
I will definitely watch this one.
JSW needs to get the girl early on. No more tears for my lovely one.
Word!
He’s the second lead here, weirdly enough, and it’s written in the stars Korean second leads, with the exception of PSH, NEVER get the girl. I think that’s so unfair. Why can’t second leads get the girl? Taiwanese dramas don’t have this inevitability, so viewers get a kick trying to decide who the girl will end up with – it’s so much more fun that way.
Well, Kim Soo-hyun was also kind of a second lead. Was he even in the first episode of Dream High? Maybe just for a really short time. But then they turned him into the lead somewhere along the way XD
Yes! How come he plays second lead AGAIN?! HWE?!
I want him to get the girl!
*does not compute*
LSW and JSW together in a drama? I guess it’s time for me to answer the perennial question of how much drool I am able to produce in one hour.
This two guys + yummy food? They go straight to my hips.
Oppa and ahjusshi on the weekend
Then Wookie playing baseball on Mon Tues. Plus Kim Bum our angel
I am SO HAPPY!!
My brain does not compute this much hotness.
Add in Bachelor’s Vegetable Store.
Do they want to kills us? I am going to get whiplash trying to follow who’s hotter
I was affirming vigorously with my head at each of your sentences.
Hey, just throw in Hot Grandpa, and it’ll be perfect!
lol thanks for saying it so I didn’t have to! These two — in the same drama. I don’t know who’s hotter, but maybe I’ll be able to decide when I see them on screen together. Or maybe… my brain will just die.
But sadly, one of them can’t get the girl, right?
Or is it more like an OB storyline with more than OTP?
If not that, I will take best friends and rivals so one of them has to kill the other. That would OK, too.
Best friends who kill each other has become my favorite storyline. I know I am not alone in loving these stories, otherwise there wouldn’t be so darn many of them.
Rubbing hands in evil glee:
How much more fun would BOF be in Jun Pyo didn’t ride his horse faster, but shot Ji Hoo? Bwa ha ha ha ha ha
LOL!!!! OMG Jomo, that was priceless
That would’ve been SO! GOOD!
I would have paid money to see that.
Although even in death, I bet the yellow hair would remain flawless and intact.
LOL!
And the violin plays on and on and on and on and
STOP!
— takes violin, smashes it into a million pieces —-
All set.
*small voice* But I liked Yellow Hair. He was my fav character in BOF…..*retrieves million pieces, laboriously gums back with SuperStrong UHU and plays mournful melody AAAALMOSSSST PAAAAAARAAAAAAADISE*
I didn’t mind AP as much as the squinkee
Da da dahn da da dahn da da DAHN-dahhhh
Da da da DAHN-dahn-dahn
Da da da dah
on the violin.
HE NEVER FINISHED IT! No matter how often he played it, he never got any better….
Where is my ear bleach?
Da da dahn da da dahn da da DAHN-dahhhh
Da da da DAHN-dahn-dahn
Da da da dah
I love that yellow hair. I even bought his calendar for 2012….
I loved him more ( and still does ) than Lee Min ho.
The white Knight in shining armor forever. I would even hurt my shoulder and go swimming all day to get his attention….
I say they should have just kicked the whiny girl out, move to the country, strip, and plant veggies.
** Grabs box of movie candy you would only eat at a movie – Juju bees **
Where/when/how can I see that show?
OPPA!!!!!
I want to see him in another drama too!!
Love food so hoping I’d like this too!
ergh JSW…he’s so repulsive. i saw him on happy together and he couldn’t have come off more arrogant. he seems like the guy who knows he is good looking and is so aware of that fact that he practically oozes jerk-ness.
buuuut what am i doing i love LSW and I can’t wait for this and also yay for more food porn!
I think you should watch joo sang wook on win win episode earlier this year. It would give you a more accurate interpretation of him. He’s actually been an actor for 13 years and just got his big break in Giant the past year…. he seems to be acting arrogant.. not actually being it.. if that makes sense..
I love both of them! LOL Anyways, I don’t know if the plot is all that interesting, but I’ll be looking out for this for the cast
Seo Hyun Jin is also a good actress. Too bad she doesn’t have enough recognition.
Joo Sang Wook and Lee Sang Woo
WOW! What a great cast. We only need pretty actress!!! 
Hope Sung Yuri or Yun Eun Hye joins them …
And i want JSW to get a girl !!! He deserves an opportunity to act with the famous actress!
I said AHHHHHH when I read the title too!!
I like those too. hmmmm… food ehh???
hot
I have zero interest in this but since it the 50 ep show that is gonna replace hooray for love which I am watching I want to know when it will air exactly so we will understand if there is an extension to HFL or not

Joo Sang Wook♥Ahjussi♥
basically, LSW needs to get a main-ish role soon, he’s overdue….
a more pressing issue though: Do kitchen people need to strip their uniforms off? How often do they engage in food battles? Will they end up experimenting with whipped cream and hot chocolate?
Lee Sang Woo’s character in TDP definitely beats out Bae Soo Bin’s in BL as the Opparrific character. Note: Ockoala first coined that word “OPPARRIFIC”. And Oh boy.. she was so right. ^____^
OK, I give up and am asking – What is BL?
I looked up BSB’s bio and couldn’t find a BL.
Does that show have another title?
Thanks!
Brilliant Legacy aka Shining Inheritance yet another example where Bae Soo Bin – BSB – doesn’t get the girl.
Ah! Thanks!
I thought he was a bad guy in that, too.
Hmmmm….
I was thinking “Boy’s Love”…
ahh, what is wrong with my head, seriously?!!!
(must be the Ba-wool-
Teddy-Hyeon-woo)kdrama + food + good actors. whats not to look forward to?
LOL at your Oppppaaa! It brings back memories of that one podcast. (Or was that Javabeans?) So cute.
This looks good, but I wish kdramas didn’t come in groups like this, where we have a glut of one theme/setup all at once. After the Coffee Prince craze it was cross-dressing females in a group of hot boys. This last year or more has been so full of musical dramas that even though I love them I’m getting kind of sick of them (What’s Up is an exception though – so excited!). Now it seems they’re all about food – Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, Bachelor Veggie Store, Fermentation Family, and now this one. It would be nice to have a little variation in the drama diet. And I don’t mean ramyun AND kimchi AND vegetables (although that’s a good combination).
Lee Sang-woo. My mother’s favorite. Ever since “First Wives Club”. ‘Nuff said…
oh yes yes yes! I love Lee Sang Woo
mmm Sung Yuri sounds pretty good too and they would look pretty compatible. (:
Have you heard the song that he composed?
I found his real personality so adorable and hilarious.^^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_1wxg6tIQ&feature=related
(Song starts at 1:31)
He is saying that he made this song as a tribute to little sharks that he used to keep as pets in the pond.
One day, a little sturgeon, having no teeth was bit to death by a crayfish.
Then, he composed a song, being worried about how remaining little sturgeons are going to get through against two crayfishes.
Song title:” How should sharks live / how can little sturgeons survive?”
Lyrics:
A (little) shark was bit by a crayfish.
And it died.
So, I scooped it (with a landing net).
Three little sharks, two crayfishes.
How are little sharks going to get through/live?
You can see all guests including professor Jung from Sungkyunkwan scandal are cracking up.
After listening to the song, they are talking how sad this song is~
Oh, he is Lee, Sang woo. ^^
OMG, I laughed so hard watching this!! I never realize how goofy (사차원 or “4-D”) he is.
Off to find more clips of him~
OMG. I love these 2 guys
2012 is looking to be a really exciting year for dramas!
Yeeaaa! I really feeeel you, of course! \^_^/
Gosh, I really LOOOVE boooth of pictures of Lee Sang Woo and Joo Sang Wook who wears their nice suits and pose like that….How COOOL. (stares & beams w/ drooling)
** SILENCE **
….(shakes head) Amen! That’d be GREEAT for me to watch this drama because of Joo Sang Wook, wooot!
Ahh, I might try to watch this drama ‘Thousand Day Promise’ if I will have time, of course…..
(stares at the picture & drooling) . . . . . . . . . . .
OMG, my 2 fav guys, wahhh
Omomo who’s going to get the lead role??
I hope its LSW, about time he gets a leading role and the girl, sorry he overrides JSW
Can’t wait for 2012 now
@Geowool Thanks for the Link
I was laughing my head off, LSW definitely not a singer
hahaha
Oppa! Lol. Will definitely watch this because of LSW.
It seems like just yesterday these guys were the really really really hot minor characters, overshadowed by the main leads. Now they’re growing up and headlining their own dramas? I’m so proud of them! Pretty always wins in the end.
joo sang wook oppa! count me in!
i never seen any of lee sang woo’s drama, maybe i just star to watch thousand day promise…is it that good?
I am SO.THERE.
Hawtness all around. I can’t wait!!!
<3 <3 Lee Sang-Woo <3 <3
Joo Sang Wook!! <3 and the fangirling begins hehe
LOVE Lee Sang Woo. I watched Don’t Hesitate because of him…. That’s 98(!) episodes for anyone who’s counting. So my love is hard-core. LSW character sounds similar to the one he played in Don’t Hesitate. So anyway, I will definitely be tuning into this food(!) themed drama with two awesome actors!
@malta have been looking for Don’t Hesitate with english subs ( bcos of LSW of course) Haven’t been able to find, did you find it, please share if you did, thanks
their names are so close to each other!!! WOW!!!
Joo sang wook, count me in. He’s too good to play the second lead. Plus, his storyline with the main girl lead is more interesting.
I love LSW. I watched Dont hesitate, Life is Beautifull n TDS cause of LSW…..
