Delving into the narrative and characters of Your Taste: A romantic exploration of cuisine and flavors featuring Kang Ha-neul and Go Min-si

The storyline of Your Taste revolves around Han Beom-woo, the heir to a major food enterprise, and Mo Yeon-joo, a devoted chef. The narrative tracks their experiences as they operate a modest restaurant together in Jeonju, highlighting the differences in their backgrounds and culinary philosophies.

While Han Beom-woo runs one of Seoul’s premier dining establishments, he remains largely indifferent to the essence of “taste.”In contrast, Mo Yeon-joo is wholeheartedly dedicated to the art of flavor and manages a small, cozy restaurant.

As they embark on this new culinary adventure, both will evolve individually and also deepen their romantic bond.

Kang Ha-neul will take on the role of Han Beom-woo, his debut portrayal as a chaebol heir that has generated considerable interest. Meanwhile, Go Min-si, who showcased her culinary flair in a recent role on tvN’s Seo Jin’s Kitchen 2, will depict Mo Yeon-joo, much to the excitement of viewers looking forward to seeing her culinary talents on-screen.

The supporting characters will be played by Kim Shin-rok as Jin Myeong-suk, a top employee at a well-regarded noodle restaurant, and Yoo Soo-bin in the role of Shin Chun-seung, a laid-back local influencer.

On the production side, a skilled team is behind this project. Han Jun-hee, known for contributions to Weak Hero Class 1 and the DP series, will serve as the chief creator. The script is authored by Jung Soo-yoon, acclaimed for projects like Boy Flying and Playlist Ending.

Director Park Dan-hee, recognized for her co-directing efforts on Weak Hero Class 1 and Blue Birthday, has also joined this venture.

With this impressive ensemble cast and adept production crew, Your Taste is generating significant anticipation ahead of its release.
