New tvN rom-com Let’s Eat brings lonely hearts together

This drama looks pretty adorable. Let’s Eat is the new romantic comedy getting ready to premiere on tvN, about a cast of singletons living in one apartment complex brought together by their love of food. It sounds a lot like Flower Boy Next Door actually, with the bizarre neighbor hijinks forcing people together when they’d much prefer to be alone. The drama centers around single people who enjoy everything about being single, except for that one pesky problem of always having to eat alone when dining out is designed for two.

The 16-episode drama comes from the PD-writer team behind Rude Miss Young-ae and stars Lee Soo-kyung (I Summon You Gold) as a 33-year-old lawyer who’s been happily divorced and single for three years after a six-month marriage. Her main source of pleasure in life is delicious food, and lives by the mantra, “I live to eat!”

As a longtime lawyer our heroine is suspicious by nature, and grows increasingly wary of next-door neighbor Yoon Doo-joon (IRIS 2), whom she overhears lying constantly to every new person he meets. Not to mention that she catches him with a new lady-friend every time they cross paths, like in the teaser below. He’s a mystery character whose job is undisclosed, but he’s energetic and outgoing, and wants to be friendly with everyone he comes across (hence the lying, to always find some innocuous common ground with people). He decides right away to be friendly with neighbor noona, though she finds him totally weird for calling her noona all the time when they’re virtually strangers.

Yoon So-hee (Sword and Flower) plays the heroine’s neighbor to the other side, a design student ten years her junior who develops a crush on the oppa down the hall. And to round out the love square, Shim Hyung-tak (My Daughter Seo-young) plays the head lawyer at Lee Soo-kyung’s firm, who drives her crazy almost on a daily basis. But it turns out to be his petty revenge because she rejected him back when he was a law student and doesn’t even remember who he was or that she broke his heart. He’s so doomed to have the plan backfire and fall in love with her all over again, right?

I sort of love the idea of a rom-com all about single-person households, and well, the food porn won’t hurt either. Let’s Eat will air once a week on Thursday nights, and premieres this Thursday, November 28 on tvN.

ugh. i was thinking the same thing. but i'm going to have to make sure to eat before watching an episode of this. other dramas that aren't about eating good food make me crave korean food, I can only imagine how I will feel after watching an episode of this drama.

I am so hoping this is a good show, for her sake. I haven't really liked her in anything since Soulmates, and I absolutely detested her weak doormat weepy character in Loving You etc etc (the Drama That Must Not Be Named). I am anxiously awaiting the return of her bright, strong personality. And the food. Yum. And maybe some romance in there, TvN style?

Have you seen Call of the Country or The Lawyers of the Great Republic of Korea?? They're both cute, light rom-coms and I really enjoyed them. I saw her first in Soulmates, but these dramas made me fall in love with her. You should check them out if you like her, but I agree (the Drama that Must Not Be Named) was disappointing.

Cheers.

Look at all those decorations with their food, with animals in clothes, one of them is a deer in black-and-white-stripes-zebra clothes, and even a mini chair. So cute, and quirky! Food heaven~

Yoon So Hee soooo pretty!! <3 I liked her character in Soulmates but didn't really like staring at her face, I don't know why I thought she was caricature-ish in there. She's pretty but somehow lacks that extra umph (i don't know what to call it) that I often find in Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Sun Ah. It's the same with Bo-young. She was very pretty in Save the Last Dance but didn't manage to stick to me. It's only in Seo-Young when she was older that I get to appreciate her.

I think it's the same with So Hee. Like looking at her now, I can't help but think that she has aged so well. Look at her now so pretty I can't take my eyes off her! <3

Plus aaah This drama is killing me already with that insane stack of baby backribs! *drools*

This should make a good one-night-a-week drama. I'm not sold on the noona romance though yet. I'm probably the only one here who doesn't typically like that trope. The one instance where I didn't mind it was Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, probably because Jung Il-woo can easily play older than he is. The only reason it bothers me here is because I know Yoon Doo-joon is young, mid-twenties and an idol, who usually play young when acting, unless they look older. In Iris 2 he was an adult, sure, but it still was hard for me to see him as an adult. Is that just me? Probably. Whatever. I just don't dig the noona-romance period.

Still, my earlier reservations about the show are disappearing and I'll probably check it out, as long as I can find it with English subs. Doesn't hurt that it starts on Thanksgiving.
