HAHAHAAHAH i literally laughed out loud reading your piece. I cant even add much to what you wrote, because girl, you just expressed me 100% HAHAHAHHA

“I’m ready to wok and roll” HAHAHA I love this, it’s so cute!!

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: While watching Chief Kim I had two thoughts constantly at the front of my mind...

1. Junho makes even the most bland Papa John’s pizza look like the food of the gods and
2. Junho’s skin is so perfect and flawless and I want to rub my hand on his face (I know that’s weird and I’m sorry)

Junho should do every food-related commercial ever. How does everything he eats look SO GOOOOOOOD?

THIS IS BRILLIANT! HAHAHA Junho and food deserved an exclusive post for them, really well done!

Sorry you went into Chief Kim without previous warning. Junho eating chicken legs in episode 1 made me forget what I was watching: "It's a bully prosecutor torturing a hungry prisoner for goodness sakes! And here I am drooling?! Why, is it the chicken, or is it the guy holding the chicken?" (I think it was both).

@littlecat LOL! This was hilarious!
"I’ll put vegetables on top to make it healthier" killed me XD
Papa John's makes me suffer all the time, they make it look like it's the most delicious thing in the world and I salivate all the time (even though I don't even eat dairy!)
I'm amazed at your self-control, though, I swear that pizza wouldn't have lasted that long if it had been me! ^^

“Ready to wok and roll”

This essay is perfect, and sums up much of my relationship with food PPL. I know I will feel awful if I succumb to its allure, but sometimes you just have to give in to the pizza. Food allergies be damned.

Winning post with winning photos! Seeing Junho eating pizza, I want a slice.....seeing Junho holding a drumstick, I want to some fried chicken....seeing a piece of lettuce next to Junho's face.....okay I want to eat his face *coughs*

Not gonna lie...I made jjajangmyun for dinner last night after watching Wok of Love, but here I will bravely confess....I did wash my wok with dish detergent without shame.

Seo Yul in food theme post is a must

Hahahahaha thank you for write this, I feel you 😆

Haha, nice! I am immune to Subway PPL, but pizza gets me every time. And ramen and jjajangmyun. And fried chicken and bibimbab... I'll stop here.

I like your meal schedule: breakfast, lunch, second lunch, and dinner. Sometimes I stick a second breakfast in there if I'm at home.

HAHAHAHAHA OMG this article was incredibly perfect, including the screen captures. I laughed out loud from beginning to the end. And let me tell you that I'm not much of a foodie, and Chief Kim has been the ONLY drama to make me salivate over food in over a decade of kdrama-watching. Just seeing screen captures of Jun-ho now makes me hungry. Thank you for a perfectly delightful read!

I adore Junho the actor, but me and cancer dramas don't go well together.
You're welcome to call me if (whoever it is) ends up not sick at the end of the drama so I can watch it :)

Oh, my that was wonderful writing @littlecat! I'm on my lunch break at work and it's good everyone else is gone or they would have to listen to me snigger and giggle.
Watching Jun Ho eat in almost every scene of Chief Kim made me wonder if he stopped eating except on the set. He really enjoyed it!

Wok of Love is KILLING me watching them cook all that yummy food! I need to eat before watching it.
I could go on, but thank you for a good laugh, and expressing how I feel half the time watching those shows!

Totally enjoyed reading this fantastic post! Junho and food are a fabulous combination!

Now I'm hungry. 😊

@littlecat, you had me at pizza.

And then you had to use the perfect gifs of Junho.
I'm a goner...

Thank you!! <3<3

haha hilariously enough Kocowa just released a video of Junho eating in Chief Kim and I was like, dammn the man looks good eating and also yeah that Papa Johns pizza. I still haven't watched Chief Kim but the food scenes did look epic...here is the link to the video for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7MZCIG5lh8

I ate in the week that I binge watched Cheif Kim in more than I normally eat in a month lol it's just like Mindy said he makes food look super delicious , every time I saw him eating I had to pause and go check the refrigerator.
Junho and food are always the ultimate OTP ❤ .
Nice write-up 👏

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This my reaction to your post.
Thank you for posting, by the way.

I am 5 or 6 kilos overweight right now. Maybe even 7???!!🙄

And I know it is not too much, but I hate it. Nevertheless, if I could eat at least half of a regular pizza (not the giant one you had)... I would devour it.
And only after, I would start doing sports for the summer!! 😂
I may tell you about it, even. I need to tell somebody, so that I may be sure I will do it, for I will be forced to do it if I don't want to be embarrassed for my lack of discipline 😂😂😂😂😑😩
Anyway...
I enjoy reading your post 😊

@littlecat,

Thanks for adding a new word to my vocabulary: meokbang. While I've seen quite a few of them, I didn't know there was a name for it. I came across an interesting article that offers a plausible explanation for the popularity of the genre.

As for all the food PPL in Kdramas, I've resorted to devouring ramyun and snacking on kimchi while tuned in on my laptop. I have yet to give in to SubWey and Papa John's. I live in New Jersey, home of Mom & Pop pizzerias that churn out gloriously thin crust with great sauce, and delicatessens that whomp up submarine sandwiches with the works. Usually I opt for half a "spicy Italian" sub from the local supermarket deli counter to get me through the latest episode. It is stuffed with Genoa salami, pepperoni sausage -- NOT pickled peppers!--, capicola, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, oil & vinegar, oregano.

"Wok and roll" -- ROFLMAO! I've been thoroughly enjoying watching the psycopathic glutton cooking up a storm in the company of his new landlord and a horse with a yen for pickled radish, not carrots.

Thanks, @littlecat-- I really needed a good laugh! Way to stick it to the man, btw! (Pfft... your rationalization sounded a lot like my internal logic.)

Maybe there should be a theme of the month about the crazy internal dialogues we have while watching k-dramas. Except there would be SO many!

Anyway, I loved your post!

Your post literally made my day LOL so funny. I too just started Chief Kim after JBL and I love watching Yul eat. I have a few episode left but I noticed he's eaten less towards the end. ☹ I want to see him eat again!

I love that you have second lunch 👍 Also wok and roll made me LOL 😂😂😂

Hate to admit it but I had to look up the word "MEOKBANG". Hehehe

As much as we cook in our house (which is daily), there is something to be said about Papa Johns Pizza, which is our household's go-to takeout. That buttery garlic-sauce (wherin I dip the crusts) is from the devil, but it is sooooooo good.

Yaay! So excited to see this posted on the site and very grateful for all the positive feedback from everyone! :)

P.S. Thanks for whichever member of the DB staff cleaned up this entry for posting, including coming up with a title, because I definitely forgot to do that. <3

Does anyone know what the stuff is that they drizzle over pizzas in Korea? The stuff that looks like frosting, but probably isn't?

Yeah, I'm going to need every drama character ever to stop eating instant noodles because my habit is bad enough without being tempted all. the. time.

HAHAHA brilliant post! ^^ Sombody show this to Junho quick! He needs to move on to eating healthy food in dramas so Beanies don't all die of obesity.

It was hilarious! I love it! <3

The good thing with me and food PPL is that as a vegetarian, a lot of it don't appeal to me. Fried chicken? Pass. Meat Pizza? Pass.

I will have to admit though that ramyun always look very delicious and that by watching Wok of Love, Poong does a lot of fish-based chinese dishes which always make me want to lick my screen.

All of this to say, forget the main lead or second lead's boats. I am on the food boat. :D

Junho is a food PPL God! That man is the physical embodiment of the Meokbang concept! Why no one has yet recruited him into the Let's Eat franchise I will never understand. Or maybe they have. Maybe our resident foodie playboy realizes the reason he keeps running away form his love interests is because he's been lying to himself this whole time. And it takes a certain Junho, eating food deliciously, to make him realize what he's been missing in his life all along...

lol
now I'm gonna need to find that damn Papa John's pizza, coz I've never had any! is it good? is it THAT good?
good luck resisting the PPL food urges, @littlecat
what an awesome witty little essay !

Hahahha! That was one big love letter to pizza (and Junho!)! Pizza and Junho lovers unite!!!

I loved this so much!! Such a great article and piece of writing! Now I want Papa John’s...

I'm thinking of the otherwise dire, bleak "My Ajusshi" where the heroine inexplicably shared half a chain store sub with her cohort, or the two no-account brothers compliment their soccer coach on the great coffee (close-up of the brand label).

This was an amazing piece, @littlecat! Can’t believe it took me this long to get around to reading it. 😂 Your sense of humor, wit, and stomach speak to my soul. Thanks for sharing!

😂😂 @littlecat Your inner monologue to ward away PPL/Junho temptation is so relatable. Wok and roll it is!
