Plot

The story follows Koo Dae-Young (played by Yoon Doo-Joon), who finds himself in a personal and professional slump. His life takes a turn when he reconnects with Lee Ji-Woo (played by Baek Jin-Hee), a former college acquaintance who once inspired his passion for food. While Dae-Young transitions into a career as a food creator, Ji-Woo, now working as a nurse, views eating primarily as a necessity rather than a source of joy. As they begin to share meals again, the series explores their evolving relationship and shared past.

Production

The series was originally scheduled for a 16-episode run but was shortened to 14 episodes. This adjustment was necessitated by the lead actor, Yoon Doo-Joon, who was required to enlist in the South Korean military on August 24, 2018. The series aired from July 16 to August 28, 2018, occupying the Monday and Tuesday 21:30 time slot on tvN. It followed the drama About Time and was succeeded by 100 Days My Prince.
