Loved it, comedies are the best!!!
I'm a little late to the K-drama scene. I liked this show a lot. First, before I forget, Park Seo Joon, who plays the male lead, looks uncanny like my late Japanese friend, Matsumoto-san. Not at every angle and all facial expressions, but especially when he smiles. First Japanese person I became friends with, an unbelievably kind guy whom I miss a lot. I first saw Park in "Itaewon Class". Seeing him made me happy and very sad at the same time. I think we all knew the female lead, played by Hwang Jung Eum, even with the weird hair was going to turn out to be attractive. Besides the physical part, her character being bubbly and sweet, is something that is a very attractive quality!Star of the show has to go to Choi Si Won's character, Kim Shin Hyuk. Hilarious and creative role that Choi was perfect for, makes me want to go find some other things he's been in. I hope there are some Korean guys in real life who are like that character, maybe not as crazy though with the pranks though, lol. I like to joke around too, because I enjoy making people laugh and forget their problems. Shin Dong Mi, who plays Cha Joo Young, is also an attractive lady and stood out, maybe because she was the only lady who had her natural hair color. I know this drama is dated, but I hope Koreans, like Japanese and all Asians, STOP dying their hair color, natural always looks best! I realize people in Asians countries tire of black hair, as almost all people tend to have it, unless they are seniors, but if everyone dyes their hair brown then people with natural locks stick out amongst the crowd, hah hah!

I thought it stunk
This drama made me think, do all Koreans talk to themselves ALL.THE.TIME.? Is it a bad thing for Korean ladies to have their natural hair color or is it a law now, of course this drama is a bit old, to have to dye it an awful reddish color? Do all Koreans sleep with the lights on?Only good part for me was Park Min-Hwan's character is quite the cutie with a beautiful smile. Only reason I started watching it is cause Park Seo-Joon looks a lot like my late Japanese friend and I enjoyed his roles in "Itaewon Class" and "She Was Pretty", but his character is this drama is very unappealing. Very weak script IMO, the only thing that was interesting was when the two characters were children, but even that is quite unbelievable.

I liked it!
Guys, take notes, Gwan-hee has skills although he is a bit of an odd duck. The way he teases and jokes with the ladies is the way to go. A couple of the other guys, who seem to be gentlemen, are seen as boring by the ladies. Not saying that's right nor fair, but in this situation, you will see. Jin-seok (muscular dude) seems like a really cool dude.All the ladies are attractive, my first choice was Si-eun, as she's my type from a physical standpoint, pretty lady. But I like spunky and bubbly personalities so if I was on that show I'd be teasing and joking with Ha-jeong. Hye-seon and Min-ji are also adorable. I think this third season is my favorite of the three series, and that's probably cause of Gwan-hee, he's a funny guy, although one thing about him bothered me, but so as not leave a spoiler I'll just say it's never a good thing to lead someone on (that you like them)!
Main host Da-hee Lee has a really pretty smile. Glad to see Netflix has a season 4 coming out. I usually don't care much for these kinds of reality shows, but I guess seeing how some Korean people are, how they react to and treat each other is a bit of a sociology lesson, and it's interesting for me. As a long-term resident of Japan with both Japanese heritage and a little Korean DNA, I think Korean sense of humor (but I'm only going by TV programs and movies) aligns more with western sense of humor than Japanese.

Love the human element
I was wondering how Ms. Youn learned her English, does anyone know? I would've thought not a lot of Koreans her generation dpeak it much. My only trip to Seoul, I had more luck speaking in Japanese, which I didn't want to do, I'm sure people who know about the history can understand why, than English apart from people at the hotel. Nice to see Spaniards who are happy people, enjoying life and also raving about Korean food besides the tourists. They all seemed to love it! Some of the dishes I've never had, but now want to try. Seo Jun and Yu Mi work their tails off as do Ms. Youn and Seo Jin. I think it must've been hard, esp for Ms. Youn to stay on her feet for so long cooking, and I'm guessing why this was her last time to participate in this kitchen/restaurant series.Plenty of laughs watching this, the assistant chef who comes with the big group is quite the character and what he said about Yu Mi was funny. I tried to see if he spoke to her after the big group's meal, but I guess he's too shy and didn't. Plenty of cute kids and dogs in the show.
I hope they continue the series with Jinny's Kitchen, saw Mexico first, after Iceland which is how I learned about this series and Bali. I don't know why, but I enjoy watching these shows and seeing what people say about the food and the actors, and seeing how international the customers have been in all the locations. What I really appreciated seeing is how these actors are quite humble and down to earth. Please stay that way, no one likes arrogance from people no matter their walk of life, at least I don't!
