Drunk in Good Taste (2018)

Drunk In Good taste like a fresh breeze that I desperately needed in midst of a very hectic and hard time in my life. I still remember lying on my couch and smiling like a fool as I saw the leads fall in love. This drama filled my heart with happiness and provided an escape I desperately needed :,)

To be honest, the show itself isn't necessarily anything special. It is a cliche romance story with cute characters. You have your typical popular mean girl, a handsome guy everyone is in love with, and a female lead who is adorable but not necessarily beautiful by societal standards. But, I don't think the directors or writers were trying to make anything very deep or unique. The show is just supposed to be just a fluffy, quick watch. And I think it delivered it's purpose very well; the characters were adorable and the romance was very very very sweet.

My only complaint was that the ending was a lil incomplete. However, since it is a show that is just two hours long, I wasn't too mad or annoyed. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone who wants a cute lil watch that can make their heart flutter ((:

This web drama literally made me feel Drunk in good taste. It was light, fluffy, and sweet overall. I like how they're portraying normal university students and university life in a non-exaggerated way. There was barely any plot but I think the shortness and the preciseness of the show made it worth watching! This is a drama to all the sweets or dessert lovers out there. I'm sure you guys can relate to this drama.

The leads were just overall cute, they're very compatible to each other and i love it that their cuteness is not cringey. Minkyu's acting has improved a lot! He should be getting more drama love calls after this! i dont know if its just me, or maybe its part of the roles they're playing but the only problem for me was the bakery manager and the sister their expressions were too stiff and awkward they're like stones.

The songs they used in this drama were very pretty too! It matches the scenes very well! I was surprised they used The Man BLK songs in some of the scenes. Minkyu's OST was very good too, i love his voice so much, thank you for giving him a chance to showcase it in this webdrama! ~

Overall I give it a 7.5/10, the desserts that were featured were all too sweet and tempting, that i craved for dessert instantly!

Short and Sweet

The drama is a light-hearted romance with a love for desserts. The story revolves around two university freshmen, Jung Chong Nam and Lee Yeon Nam, who share a major and a passion for sweet treats. Their journey begins with friendship and slowly develops into romance, set against the backdrop of a campus life full of youthful energy and new experiences.

Strengths:
Relatable Characters: The characters, especially the leads played by Kim Hyang Gi and Kim Min Gyu, are charming and relatable. Their interactions feel genuine, showcasing the awkwardness and sweetness of young love.
Unique Theme: Centering the story around desserts adds a whimsical and comforting touch, making it visually delightful and appealing to food lovers.
Brevity: With just two episodes on tvN (or ten shorter episodes on Naver TV Cast), it’s a quick watch that doesn’t require a significant time investment, making it perfect for those looking for something light and sweet.

Weaknesses:
Limited Depth: The short runtime limits character and plot development. Complex conflicts or deeper explorations of relationships are absent, which might leave some viewers wanting more.
Predictability: The storyline follows a typical “friends-to-lovers” trope without significant surprises, which could feel formulaic for seasoned drama watchers.

The drama doesn’t aim to be groundbreaking but delivers what it promises: a sugary sweet narrative paired with delectable visuals. While it lacks depth and complexity, its charm lies in its simplicity and the warm chemistry between the leads. It’s a perfect watch for those seeking a short, cheerful escape.
