The love triangle that I hoped is never existed, they were just teasing without further execution. the story of the three of them, if it explored, could be an interesting thing to follow till last second.
In Indonesian:
Pilot yang menggoda ternyata hanya pemanis belaka. Episode berikutnya seperti berjalan ditempat, terlebih setelah lebih dari 4 episode.
Cinta segitiga yang saya harapkan tidak pernah ada, mereka hanya sekedar teasing tanpa dieksekusi lebih lanjut. Padahal kisah mereka bertiga kalo digali bisa jadi satu hal yang menarik untuk diikuti.

Tangy Noodles, Bland Plot
Seo Hae Won was as bland as that first jjajangmyeon he made - literally felt no depth and had no interest in him whatsoever. And that wouldn't be bad if he weren't the main character of the show. But as it is: oof.This was one of the worst Korean BLs; others at least had some interesting story (or good acting), but Tasty Florida is lacking in that aspect. The plot was so basic and predictable, it sometimes hurt my brain. Others said it before and I will say it again: that love triangle was so useless. Lifelong friends fighting over a dude they've known for a month (who was was intriguing as a dry noodle, sorry bro) really felt like unnecessary drama - which wasn't even well executed but all over the place.
I have to admit, though, that the chemistry of the main couple was sweet. They looked cute together and fitted each other (if only I knew what attracted Eungyu besides Hae Won's pretty face... but I said that already).
For a (Korean) BL, this did have some budget - the set was pretty (I really loved that restaurant! Would absolutely go there for lunch!) and the quality was stable too. And I think what I enjoyed most was the OST. Will definitely check those songs out!
All in all, nothing stunning. I watched it while eating to have something to occupy my mind - but if you do that too, keep some spices ready! You'll have to fight this show's blandness.

The Restaurant You Don't Want To Eat At When It's Raining Or Winter
I literally want to give most of the boys a haircut because damn they are in dire need of it.The restaurant looks cool but fucking unpractical. WHAT IF IT RAINS? WHAT IF IT IS WINTER? HOW WILL YOU MAKE MONEY THEN?
A lot of people said that Eun Gyu acts as if he hates the main lead but I honestly didn't get that. He mostly acted friendly with him and he was only hesitant to hire him as a part-timer since our main lead has no experience in the food industry.
I'm not sure how I feel about their first kiss though. It would have been more okay if Eun Gyu actually missed the ML instead of the ML kissing him. It wasn't super sketchy since Eun Gyu did make the first move and the ML slowly kissed him.
The best friends picking a fight over the ML isa thing I really didn't like. No person could come between me and my friends & especially if I had been friends with them for 15 years like them. Besides, them fighting over the ML as if he wasn't there was pretty weird as well.
Everything moved and got resolved so quickly. Maybe that's because they had too many side plots and couldn't choose one subject or there were simply not enough episodes.
It's pretty funny how we suddenly went to florida for a missing dad. I don't know why but I'm really cracking up about this. It's so random that it is making me laugh. Omg noooo... it got even more random. Suddenly we're a year later out of nowhere. I'm dying. Who decided this was a great idea? I have actual tears in my eyes. Top notch unplanned comedy.
Wait what... Eun Gyu just got into a relationship and went to look for his dad over in florida with whom he had lost contact but his search literally took a year? And the couple went back as if a year was nothing, just a week or so. BITCH WTF! YOU GUYS HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN TOGETHER FOR A YEAR? WHO IS THIS WRITER? AND HOW CAN I SUE THEM FOR STUPIDITY?
Did he find his dad? Is his dad dead? What even is this storyline...
The actor who played Eun Gyu was pretty great and I'm curious to see what he will do next.
It's definitely not bad and not a show that I hated but it isn't amazing either. It's fairly decent and I still enjoyed it but it's probably the weakest Korean BL I've seen so far (weakest in plot etcetera). Even though I personally did not like light on me, I do think it is quality wise better than the tasty florida. Despite the tasty florida being worse in plot, acting etcetera I still enjoyed watching it a thousand times more than when I watched light on me.

Overall - tasty
I watched the movie after finishing the show and I had the same feeling after watching both. I loved the aesthetic of the show. Story is simple and very yummy. Acting was good, as far as I understand acting. I am not an expert but I loved it. In case you like very, like very, very beautiful actors I fully recommend. Good for relaxation and nothing beyond that. But my heart was full because everything was so tasteful. I enjoyed the colors, the gentle breeze I felt on that roof where most of the scenes were filmed and the boys with perfect skin.Was this review helpful to you?

Hardly any chemistry between the main couple.
A lot of aspects in this show were credible. The cast, the acting, the production, but the writing is...questionable. I felt like it was hard to feel chemistry between Hae Won and Eun Gyu because everything between them was extremely rushed. They liked each other pretty much instantly. Nothing wrong with a "love at first sight" trope but this was just so forced. Eun Gyu knew next to nothing about Hae Won before developing feelings for him. It was all just so unrealistic.The plotline is very basic on the surface, it's just another love triangle trope. Nothing wrong with that. My issue is that Hae Won arguably had more chemistry with Ji Soo than he did with Eun Gyu. They didn't have much time to develop a deep enough relationship, but they still had more time to develop feelings for each other than Hae Won and Eun Gyu did. They interacted...how many times? And even then those interactions were very shallow, forced, and unrealistic. I felt like half of the show was just Eun Gyu getting jealous rather than actual story development. The chemistry between them felt awkward in a way. There was no build up to it, either. Eun Gyu was jealous of Hae Won and Ji Soo from pretty much the very first time they interacted. It's hard to feel the chemistry between the two when they barely had any time to develop any kind of relationship and basically just liked each other from the get go.

Definitely rewatching this again
I literally binge-watched this tonight (30/10/2021) watching all the episodes. Absolutely adored every point of this story.I know this was filmed during the pandemic so a lot of comments were complaining about how fast-paced and quick it was to end, but we got to understand we are still in the epidemic of this virus, no one wants it and everyone wants a drama that has more episodes and longer ones as well.
This drama was so sweet but sweet enough for me to research every actor of this drama and the OSTs. Male lead I couldn't believe was a former member of the k-pop group SPEED (totally adored that group, was saddened and upset when they announced their disbandment) but was quick to forget - he is truly an amazing actor for his debut project, I hope he gets more in the future.
I wasn't quite interested when it was first announced but all of my friends who are watching BLs recommended it to me and told me it has finished, I had to watch it and am quite sure I am in love with this. I would rewatch it again.
I am surprised that I work in this field of what they are filming that I would get annoyed but I love it, I am loving how BLs are going to mature surroundings than the consistent school or college atmosphere.
And that is why I have literally gotten myself to watch more Korean BLs.
And for those asking about the songs in the drama. He is the list for your all to search on your time and listen to them, They are on Spotify and Apple Music (Just search Tasty Florida and the songs should pop up).
But for those who want to know the title and artist are listed below
Part 1 : Florida - Yoo hwan, Woo Min, Kang Hyuk, Jae Hoon, Seung Jun (all the actors in this drama sang this song)
Part 2 : 러니 (RUNY) - STAR (너만의 빛)
Part 3 : 유환(Yuhwan) - It’s You
Part 4 : 2Z - All I Need [플로리다반점]
I hope you all enjoyed reading my comment. Let our hearts keep fluttering with this drama. Looking forward to the movie version of this.

Justice for 2ML
It's not a bad bl, I'll give it that. It is pretty okay for 2021 idol drama when the bar was too low and the bl industry in korea was in it's infancy. Watching it in late 2023 is, well, boring.The story is simple enough - a new guy moves into a full house and 2 friends fall for him but he likes only one of them. The love triangle was handled really well. At one point I was straight up hoping for a 3P..... I mean, if the contemporary Tinted With You could do it (Still waiting for S2 where they make it official). But I guess, I am not heartbroken over the main cp.
And that's it. While I didn't hate anything, there's also nothing much to write home about. The acting was bad, but it didn't affect me much. I guess was expecting something from 2 waiters but there was nothing. 2ML has his own love interest in the webtoon but that, thankfully, didn't happen here. We didn't really have time to explore a whole new CP in 15x8 format

Ok enough
I was stuck in-between choosing 6/10 or 7/10 but I ended up going with 7/10 just because they had really good chemistry. There was nothing extraordinary or groundbreaking with the story, the plot was basically straight forward and predictable, you could basically tell what was going to happen, there was no surprises and it was still decent enough. It was an enjoyable watch. The way they looked at each other was fire 🔥.That tasty Florida restaurant, is the only restaurant, fictional or real that I have seen that has only one item on their menu. Lmao.
This was really cute and all but I very much doubt this would be getting a rewatch from me. But I do recommend if you are looking for something fast, easy and adorable.

fluffy heart touching bl
pretty basic bl but the chemistry was no joke. thought it was short you could feel the emotions and connections with the characters. a web series that made me more emotional than some longer web series. though there was a lack of story and everything was j a little to short. the only main plot of the story was the love triangle and the end. there were some aspects that were missing but the short duration explains why. all together if you are looking for a quick fluffy and a little emotional bl, this is the one.Was this review helpful to you?
The tasty Florida is bland. Rusted story and Rushed storyline with some good acting
I like how South Korea is coming up with BL content.... bcz they are showing how normal it is to have feelings towards the same gender too. But what i don’t like is the story itself , there’s nothing new. Before this I binge watched another Korean drama (CR , idk whether I could mention this r not) and I liked how unique the content is.Here I felt everything thing they feel was rushed or can I call it forced. Not only the feelings of love , the acceptance, the feelings of hatred ,the feelings of giving up are not showcased properly may be because of limited amount of time but it lacked a good screenplay.
Coming to the acting , I gave 6.0 rating only bcz of actors who did a good job even it’s their debut project. The main lead Kim you Hwan , I could see that he’s gonna make it big in near future. Although I felt he looked a little bit like ji Chang wook, but I’m not ready to accept it as a die hard fan of JCW. The another ML chat woo min is also good and he’s kinda cute.
Last words: one thing for sure is if they made it as full length series with proper screenplay.,it would give butterflies to many people. The kissing scenes are not awkward and looked natural and comfortable.

What I liked about it
This drama is really good, I mostly watch Thai drama and barely watch Kdrama BL and if I do watch Kdrama BL I would have taken about 5 days to finish the whole season. xDAlthough the duration is short (11 minutes) It was really good, other Korean BL's drama would've taken longer just to see their relationship grow.
But, At the end of the episode Eun Kyu went to Florida to see his dad, I really wanted to see that part because did he actually visit him or not??
Oh, and the music is good too. I don't know Korean but the song is catchy.
Rewatch Value probably a 5/10, I like the story but I wouldn't want to watch it again.
