So it looks like Sung Yuri has signed onto Feast of the Gods after all, the upcoming weekend drama about two warring chefs in the kitchen. The drama has already cast Seo Hyun-jin (The Duo) as the rival chef, and the two ladies will go head to head in a battle for the coveted position of executive chef in their restaurant when the position suddenly opens up. They’ll be rivals in love as well, of course, and Joo Sang-wook (TEN) and Lee Sang-woo (Thousand Day Promise) have been cast as the two boys they’ll be fighting over. Now THAT’s a dilemma I’d be happy to have.
Sung Yuri plays a chef with a talent for recreating any dish she tastes, because she’s endowed with perfect taste. Okay, what the frack, with the perfect taste around here? Does everyone and their mother have this so-called rare gift? (It’s apparently like perfect pitch, where you can taste each distinct flavor and identify it on cue.) Let’s see, both Ramyun Boys Chwa Chi-soo and Onion Boy have it, Song Il-kook’s got it in Fermentation Family, and now Sung Yuri too? It’s like the friggin’ genius parade. Sigh. Why’s everyone gotta be a genius-whatever? Where have all the average joes gone?
Sung Yuri was in Romance Town earlier this year, and has since filmed her zoolandery rom-com with Kang Ji-hwan, due out next year.
Feast of the Gods will air on Saturday-Sunday, and premieres in February on MBC.

Hey, at least it’s a female food-taste genius this time. We always get male geniuses but I can’t think of any female genius right now.
What about Jewel in the Palace? Actually, was that the first time that sort of thing appears in dramas??
leesangwoooooooooooo♥
yeeeeahhh. i really can’t think of anything else to say.
meh. can we have a bromance instead? that would be hotter and definitely fulfils the “FEAST” part of the drama!
All the geniuses in kdramaland can form their own nation right next to the one for all the chaebol heroed
LOL! Well said!
Yes , Republic of Chaebols, Republic of Genuises -with different categories each .
The average Joes ah they are the tax payers , workers and consumers of what these two nations produce.
Give me a kdrama genius every day of the week. Average joes I have a plenty in real life, thank you very much.
Oppas~ ~!!!! See you soon… gidarilgeyo ♥
I’m with you! Give me the chaebols and the geniuses. I’m already average and real life is average. I don’t need any more average.
Older chaebols are cool too, especially those with sleeked back skunk hair.
‘ Now THAT’s a dilemma I’d be happy to have.’
MTE.
because this drama was so damn slow in casting hooray for love will be extended for another 8 episodes
I love Yuri, despite the fact that i don’t like most of her projects. She really needs a hit rom-rom. The last few sucks!
I’m not too fond of the male leads. Wish they would cast someone who has a bigger screen status. Before it even starts, it already looks like it doesn’t look that interesting.
Ah, that would be great & Hwaiting, Sung Yuri ~ ~
Am I the only one who confuses her and Choi Jung-Won? They look so similar to me.
No, they don’t look the same . Yuri is the natural beauty without makeup ,with makeup she is fabulous.
Another drama to watch! I wish there was an 8th day of the week solely devoted for drama watching. *sigh*
Amen, sister!
the whole cast is pretty to look at! i’m looking forward to this one
gosh.. another drama that’s gonna make me gain weight
i tried watching “Romance Town” because of Sung Yuri and ended up being disappointed, i hope i like this drama.
I was distracted by many side stories my sympathy for Yuri has been diluted.Also the story seem to be dragging for her situation, waiting for most other characters ‘story closure.Of course it wasn’t her fault -blame the scriptwriter for giving us the twirl .
I like Hong Gil Dong in spite of other side stories, hers was thoughtfully and carefully intertwined with the rest . It was the story of the Hong sisters that is why it was good.
My reaction to all of these leads is they are so……..low key, maybe?
Not spotlight stealers IRL or on dramas.
I am curious to see if any of them are given instructions to let go, especially the male leads. Otherwise I feel like it’ll be a big intense stare off the whole time, with Sung Yuri providing the counter-wide-eyed reaction.
I guess in SK it isn’t that sex sells, but food. It is a little overwhelming to have all those shows about eating.
Was it the success of BKTG that sent them all in that direction?
I love both male actors, but i think their talent will be wasted when i read the synopsis : Definitely low-key and average and boring and déjà vu. ( And i’m sure it’s gonna be 50 eps ). If i had time to waste, i’d rather rewatch Pasta as a food drama. Saw the girl in Romance Town, wasn’t bad but not terrific either to be true. If someone at DB wants to be a guinea’s pig on this one, please do : I’m sure it will redeem your karma. Yes, i’m mean and very resentful : MBC knows why…
Oh, this is MBC?
~~~~~ seethe ~~~~~
Is this the drama replacing a Thousand Kisses?I love the cast but too booked on drama’s to watch another weekend drama. And if by MBC I cannot their writers take you though tooo much.
How does she keep getting these starring roles? None of the dramas she has starred in did very well. I was looking forward to this because of the two male leads but now I definitely won’t be watching.
Talk about needing someone with a bigger screen status – she isn’t it.
Watch Hong Gil Dong and you’ll change your mind.
Rating sometimes is not a good indicator of what is good or bad/or not doing well. The Nielsen rating system need to be overhauled.
There are many factors to consider . Who happens to be ahead of your drama, or there are so many choices of almost equal stature at same time. Now with cable TV dramas , the big 3 TV stations will soon feel the pinch.
She stole my heart in HGD, but I wanted it back after Snow Queen. Too much melo in that one.
SY was nearly unwatchable in HGD (and KJH wasn’t much better).
Granted, neither was helped by a mediocre script from the Hong sisters.
maybe she belongs to a powerful management company?
in kdramaland, it’s not all just about talent, you need a powerful mc to get you the lead roles.
Off topic. But. What’s with the italicized comments? o:
lol mte i thought i did something wrong with firefox.
Nope. I feel like..someone just forgot to close a tag. Or something.
The best part of these comments is once it gets fixed, we all look like we are nuts and imagined it.
What else is new?
Linda – LOL! So true!
I think the italics give the comment section a Christmas-y look. Nop?
Okay so I remember where I’ve seen Joo Sang-wook! He was the second lead from Paradise Ranch. Ugh, he was soo charming. He has the best smile. I’m 10x more interested now.
Yes, he is charming. But i prefer to wait for ” TEN “, the dark police drama. Frankly more interesting to play for him, and to watch for us. I just hope that here he can learn some cuisine tricks to use at home so that all is not for waste.
‘cuisine tricks to use at home’….hm, like whipping cream to slav on his abs before he showers?
LOL ! You twisted mind ! No !!! I really thought about cooking skills, nothing else, i swear !!
I think I was the only one who liked him in the cowboy hat.
It confused and delighted me.
He’s Mr. Thorn Birds. He’s got thorns waiting at every corner to prick him and make him bleed. For once, just once, can we have him Mr Happy and Mr Charming? Please, please. Like in his cameo in Myung Wol the Spy. He was all breezy charm.
Cameo in My Princess…but even THEN he didn’t get the girl in the show.
We think it is a haunting of the future ghost of The Hand Towel, who comes back every once in a while to punish us, or more specifically clichique and YY for making fun of his head tilt since My Princess.
I love THT head tilted or NOT.
Notice clichique isn’t around anymore…Maybe he got her, too.
Oh, and even more so because I think she likes JSW MORE than THT and he is livid enough to lean.
I miss clichique and Hand Towel…..*tilting head sadly*
Oh hi!
Temporary visit though – basically school has consumed me. It’s really horrible.
If only THT had gotten me. I think I’d have a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome.
LOL!
This is seriously freaky….whisper ‘Siwon’ and Viola magically appears, mouth ‘Towel’ and clichique pops up!
Did someone say Siwon?!
You should know by now YY, that I have a very finely tuned sense of Siwon!
YY

I have a question for you.
I completely got this confused with Fermentation.
What’s with all the food shows?
I remember back when Sung Yuri was paired up with big name stars like Hyun Bin, So Ji Sub, Kang Ji Hwan, and Gong Yoo. Seems like her co-stars have been downgraded.
All comments are italic?
People aren’t average at everything. I don’t think there is one person on this planet that’s perfectly average at everything… we all excel at *something*.
I was sort of hoping that they’d pick someone else, but alas…
I don’t know, I don’t think she’s offensively bad, but everything I’ve seen her in, she’s left me cold. And with a cast that’s otherwise so appealing, I’d hate for the female lead to be the one that I find lackluster.
On a side note, maybe it’s because of the shared syllable and the angle in the shots above, but Joo Sang-wook and Lee Sang-woo look like brothers. Wait…they’re not gonna be brothers in the drama, are they? I’ll bash my head in if they do that.
The best oppa ever – Lee Sang Woo. It’s too bad that I don’t care for food theme dramas.
Great. Hmm…..
….Just wonder that if Sur Yuri would be probably date with both of handsome guys in real life……
Lee Sang Woo? Or Joo Sang Wook?
(waving hands) I didn’t meant to….but I’d imagine what they would look like, mm. (smirks)
Lee Sang Woo is enough reason to look forward to this drama. The dramas he was the main lead in are all long dragging ones; such a shame.
And then the food.. Yummy combination.
I don’t like the second female lead!
Yuri Sung has alot of hidden potentials. She needs to to tap them. She has a beautiful voice, soft spoken, and honest in what she does. Moreover, she has won many awards for her acting career. Just love her.
