Dinner Mate/Will You Have Dinner with Me? | Ep. 1 First episode hits it out of the park. Wonderful meet cute x 3, great chemistry, and quirky with a bit of heart. Seo Ji Hye is my girl and I’m thrilled to see her as the FL after enjoying her in Crash Landing on You and Jealousy Incarnate. As gorgeous as he is, Song Seung Heon can be a touch wooden in dramatic roles but he’s quite good here—sensitive and humorous.

The first episode had me laughing out loud and enthusiastic for tomorrow’s episode.

    I was waiting for a review. Thanks for this! Maybe I’ll download iqiyi now because that’s where its available if not kocowa.

      I’d love to hear what you think. Seo Ji Hye is sooo good at portraying the cute, professional, vulnerable and silly sides of her character.

      I’m in the mood for a charming romance and I just don’t have the energy to follow the machinations of The King: Eternal Monarch. I hope Dinner Mate keeps it up; it feels fresh, even with all the tropes. *finger hearts*

    I want to check this out.

    Before that though, what in the world is the guy wearing in that first pic??! That multi-color flower pattern is hurting my eyes! Heh!

      The halmoni outfit is gold and that beautiful man rocks it.

        I finally watched the episode and yes, he does. I wonder if he had a say in picking out the outfit.

    I want to watch this so much, only I’ve just discovered it’s not on Viki… I’ll have to go creative…

      Same here. I don’t have a VIP iQIYI account. They do have a free month trial but only takes you through eight episodes. I’m surprised Netflix didn’t buy this—it would be a good fit.

    I loved her in Jealousy Incarnate. I honestly wished they explored her character more. She was smart and ambitious but never mean
