They are a ‘trustworthy combination’ that boasts a high box office hit rate and is recognized overseas.

Kang Ha-neul and Go Min-si will meet again in a new romantic comedy drama to challenge the box office. As the two expanded their global presence through their previous works ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 and ‘In the Forest of No One’, attention is focused on their new leading roles.

In particular, they will shed the strong image they showed in their previous works and present soft and heart-fluttering characters, which are the strength of ‘K’(K) romantic comedies.

ENA‘s new drama ‘Your Taste’, which stars the two, tells the story of a food company heir and a chef running a small restaurant in Jeonju.

Director Han Jun-hee, who directed the ‘D.P’ series, is participating as the general creator, and writer Jung Soo-yoon, who wrote the ‘Boy’s Flight’ series, is writing the script. Director Park Dan-hee, who co-directed ‘Weak Hero Class 1’, is in charge of directing.

In the drama, Kang Ha-neul plays the role of a second-generation chaebol who is a regular in ‘roco’ dramas. He is called a ‘recipe hunter’ who merges and acquires small restaurants in order to inherit a food company. Although he runs the best fine dining restaurant in Seoul, he is a character who does not care about the value of taste.

In contrast, Go Min-si plays the role of chef Mo Yeon-joo, the owner of a restaurant that only operates one table. In order to pursue the best taste, he is a character full of ‘stubbornness’ and he makes food using only the finest ingredients.

Kang Ha-neul and Go Min-si are polar opposites, but their love grows after experiencing fierce conflict.
The production team recently released teaser photos ahead of the first broadcast, garnering attention from fans both domestically and internationally. The two are engaging in a staring contest as if exploring each other, and in another photo, they are seen concentrating on food in the yard of a thatched-roof house in the countryside, wearing aprons and rubber gloves, which is intriguing.

Director Park Dan-hee, who was in charge of directing, said, “I am excited just by the bond between Kang Ha-neul and Go Min-si, whom I trust and watch.”These days, interest in ‘taste’ is hotter than ever, so please look forward to the ‘tiki-taka’ romance that you can only experience in ‘Your Taste.”
