Best Korean Dramas About Food

You may have noticed that every Korean drama or K-movie features Korean food. Perhaps one of the reasons why Korean dramas incorporate food into the storyline is to promote Korean culture. So if you're on a strict diet, we suggest that you do not, in any circumstance, watch K-drama. While food is constantly present in Korean dramas, there are also shows where the narratives are centered on food.

Here are the top 3 Korean dramas about food.

1. Wok of Love

"기름진 멜로 (Wok of Love)" is about a man's story about life, love, and of course, food.

"Wok of Love" tells the story of Seo Poong, a talented chef, who works at a famous Chinese restaurant.

Meanwhile, he meets a poor girl who worked at his restaurant and instantly fell in love with her. 

2. Dinner Mate

"저녁 같이 드실래요," or "Dinner Mate," is a story about a psychiatrist who is lucky with his career but has zero luck with romance. As a self-proclaimed foodie, he prefers to meet his clients over a meal.
