Korean films and dramas are well known for juggling different elements, all the better if they appear to be mismatched. Some of South Korea’s best stories have been the ones that have taken big gambles and, in doing so, have brought us to unexpected places.
Link: Eat, Love, Kill is precisely this kind of show. It is one that does not work on paper but wins us over by dint of its charm – and maybe a little bit of magic – when we see it on the screen.
This is a cutesy romance with a pair of popular young leads; it is the story of a handsome chef who worms his way into a girl’s heart by cooking for her; and it is a fantasy in which two people are magically connected and can feel each other’s emotions, even at a distance.
