Food is a Secret Expression of Love & Triumph

Just as how this short but very meaningful series have shown its viewers. Food can indeed be an ecpression of love. just how one can be comforted fron hunger, pain and weariness. The series was able to relate how food have comforted Ha Joon of his cravings when he was young. It also showed how cooking and giving food to a weary heart like how Ha Joon's mom was somewhat relieved from tasting the food prepared by her son.

And finally, Maya's expression of love on her cooking craft earned her triumphant accolades from a simple yet gourmet dish from banana blossoms.

Short & Sweet

Secret Ingredient follows two childhood friends into a story of love and redemption through food, warmth and shared memories. It's both heartwarming and sweet.

It is a very simple story of reconciliation between these two lost friends - Ha Joon / Jack, the son of a chaebol in South Korea and Maya from the Philippines working as a chef in Indonesia. There are secrets, there are misunderstandings, but there are also changes and forgiveness.

I enjoyed watching Ha Joon throughout this show with his sincere heart to win back Maya. His accent is really amazing to hear.

There is not really much romance but it's more a story on friendship, family and cooking. Loved how they used the concept of cooking / food to express feelings, memories and time.

Follow Ha Joon as he tries to find the secret ingredient to a second chance with Maya whilst the both of them navigate their own problems back home.

Não há muito romance, é mais uma história sobre amizade, família e culinária.

Legal como o conceito de culinária / comida foi usado aqui: expressar sentimentos e memórias .


Que raiva do chefe da Maya, só sabia colocar ela pra baixo e só a elogiava quando lhe convinha, quando ele via a oportunidade de usar o talento dela para aumentar sua própria fama.
