Meet the new F4, ‘Cool Guys, Hot Ramen’ captivates women’s hearts



The actors in Cool Guys, Hot Ramen are being called the new F4, in reference to the TV series Boys Over Flowers.

tvN’s Monday-Tuesday series Cool Guys, Hot Ramen has ranked first in audience ratings for three weeks in a row among competing cable channel programs.

In the sixth episode of the series, which aired on November 17, 4 members came together to run a ramen restaurant called ‘Eunbi Ramen.’

A picky and rich high school student named Cha Chi Soo (played by Jung Il Woo), a zany chef named Choi Kang Hyuk (played by Lee Gi Woo), a cute rebellious child named Kim Ba Wool (played by Park Min Woo), and a smiling angel Woo Hyun Woo (played by Cho Yoon Woo) help to create the comedic romance in the series.

The viewer ratings recorded 2.628% in average and 3.22% as the instant peak. Especially, the rating cleaned off #1 spot in the time slot for women in 10~50 age group, and it has received unprecedented support. Compared to 5th episode, the rating for women in 40′s has risen 139%; thus, the ranges of viewers are appeared to be broadening. (AGB Nielsen Media Research, based on Cable TV owners)

People gave rave reviews by saying: “Recently, this has been the funniest series.” “I wonder what will happen next in the story line.” “The 4 handsome boys are so cute and great.” “A cartoon like story with realistic characters and a dose of fantasy. What a gift set!”

The series airs every Mondays and Tuesdays at 11:oo p.m.

I like the "crazy rooster" too ^_^
The title of this is so misleading. The guys in this really don't trip my trigger all that much. But I love the comedy and the writing. This show is great. Very smartly written. I can't wait for next week.

I also think it's a well written show. I mean, I'm not really a fan of any of those guys. Not even Jung Il Woo.

The last two episodes..I laughed so much. the first 10 minutes of Ep 6 are hilarious.. Jung Il Woo is doing a fantastic job. His comedic timing is spot on. I have to wonder if he's strictly following script or if he isn't actually improving some of his actions.
and another thing..Mr. Sleepyhead... He has to be The Strangest and strangely interesting character in a drama in a long while. He has so many idiosyncrasies. The lying down to sleep wherever, the way he speaks to people as if he wants to collect them as family, his '60's hippy like attitude toward life... One little moment in 6 that I loved was how he pulled the help wanted sign from the back of his sweater and presented it. He's just so odd and endearing.

Yes to all of that...
One of the funniest scenes in Ep. 06

LOL! Oh my god...the more he falls the funnier he gets. He's all messed up about her. I love it. Reminds me of Joo Won from Secret Garden. A complete mess. This show is "gettin' good!"

LOL...so true. And I like that he is getting so adorkable and there are funny scenes like that, but also some serious ones where we see that he is slowly starting to grow up. Especially when he keeps asking his most mature friend for advice...lol
I have a feeling that even though this has a small similarity to Biscuit Teacher...in that the student is going to fall for the Noona six years his senior, this is where they will part company. This show already has a wholly different feel. More comedic. And while Gong Yoo's character was immature at first and did have a lot of character growth, I think Cha Chi Soo is going to have to go further. He's a completely different character...very pampered, spoiled, immature.

Chi Soo's Dad...
His father is the key to this and I love how pampered and spoiled his father is as well! and the way he spoke to Eun Bi about him! He's very uber over protective. But I actually love the departure from the usual KDAD in these things. He's ridiculous but also so out of the norm that I love him.

I haven't seen Biscuit Teacher, but I'll take your word and I can agree that Cha Chi Soo is pampered, spoiled, and immature and that his over-protective yet spoiling father is the reason, CCS is like that. Maybe these new life experiences he is going through will help override the prince treatment he's had all his life.

More images!! LOL
