A Subversion of the Genre
This drama was just a beautiful subversion of the genre. It consistently did things differently than how it would play out in other dramas that cover mystery/thriller.The strongest point of this drama is how cohesive it is. Multiple aspects of the production are linked together through details in the same way the main characters have a link. It's a sign of their hard work and thoughtfulness. Things like similar style clothes, matching camera angles for the two leads, and symmetrical backgrounds make for great visual representation of the concept.
As I said in the beginning, this drama subverts its genre. So it's not for everyone. It's for people that want to watch a different type of mystery/thriller romance.

Top 10 for 2022
For 2022, this is going to be in my top 10 of the year. This was an unexpected drama that took me on a rollercoaster of a ride... It started off a bit scary, then a lot of twists and turns and maybe it gets a little slow and sickening in the middle, but in the end, the ride comes to a stop and you're overwhelmed with emotion but definitely satisfied. I walked away learning that when ppl face real danger, they take it on without much logic or reasoning or much regret, I think that's the message I'm going to take away from it. This was also my first drama with Yeo Gin Goo, so I was just stunned by his stellar acting. I think that also contributed to my high marks.Viva la fridge!

Good Enough
Korean Drama " Link: Eat, Love, Kill " is a fantasy, romance drama with lots of food.The drama had a bumpy start, but finds quickly its footing. And even though the romance is weak, fueled by the fantasy element that was awkward, cheesy at times, and not well explained, the friendship between the characters was enjoyable, as was the family bonds between the mother, grandmother, and daughter.
The criminal case was pretty interesting as well, very dark and twisted. It was what kept the interest high, as the romance and the rest of the story got boring and full of cliches.
The performances, in addition, were all great and the couple had chemistry.
So, overall, six out of ten.

If you love the genre you go for it or maybe if you're curious of what happened just watch the last 2 eps. Everything is there. Also a small dumb FL alert.

Got better at the end
In the middle of the drama, I had to start listing my complaints about what was happening. I never do that, but there was so much I was irritated by. Some of my issues: Soooo many red herrings! Everyone in the whole town is suspicious, and only one person is a culprit. The townspeople seem like cartoon characters, each is more strange than the last. Trying to fit too much in – romance, drama, comedy, thriller, mystery – so much that it doesn’t do any one genre justice. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched something that made me yell at my tv with the implausible things going on. There is a stalker on the loose, but you go wandering in dark alleyways by yourself (every night, it seems). The stalker appears and no one recognizes him?!?!? Her saying, “Let’s end this”. She repeats this in numerous episodes. What are they ending, exactly? They aren’t in a relationship.Midway through the show, I was thinking that I would probably rate this show a 6, maybe a little higher due to the excellent acting. Upon completion, my rating had to go up. I loved the way they tied up everyone’s storyline and the ending wasn’t totally rushed. It’s been awhile since a drama has made me cry, this one got to me. I got stuck on, how do you move on from a tragedy of that magnitude? I loved the voice over work that let us in on some of the internal dialog of our main couple.
Once we were let in on what happened exactly, the behavior of the townspeople made a lot more sense, and I kind of had to say that I forgave their ridiculous antics from earlier on.
Acting: The acting was good by everyone, though as mentioned before, the townspeople (and her family) were over-the-top. Yeo Jin Goo as Eun Gye Hoon – he does understated very well, because he doesn’t have much facial expression. Expressive eyes, however. And the episode early on where he laughed out loud? So cute! Moon Ga Young as Noh Da Hyun – I love this actress. Her character, I vacillated back and forth between she was full of naivete or she was just stupid. I have to say that her hair bothered me (dyed VERY black). Special mention to Shin Jae Hwi as the stalker – oh my goodness he was excellent and creepy. He had a knack for changing his facial expressions from friendly to dark in just a moment and it made my flesh crawl.
Chemistry: Cute chemistry between the main leads, though, again, too many “let’s break up” moments.
Music: I loved the music. There were some really beautiful songs. But strangely, the standout to me was Unknown World by Janet Suhh – kind of a whispery, nursery rhyme-y scary song played at the end of each cliffhanger episode. I found myself humming that…a lot. I found myself appreciating the music a lot more in the episodes toward the end, when there wasn’t so much going on. It’s a wonderful OST.
Rewatch value: If I need a Eun Gye Hoon or Moon Ga Young fix, I’d watch some of the scenes, but they could have cut this down to 12 episodes to make the writing a bit tighter and the whole drama more enjoyable.

Pretty good acting, but the story was really boring
the story was really boring, the acting was superb. The story dragged on way too much and became way too predictable, but it's maybe because i've watched so many thriller/mystery dramas. the main villain was awful, and had no real rhyme or reason for doing what he did. I usually hate comedy in thriller genre, but the comedy here was brilliant.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Boring and dragged on until the end
Usually I'm not picky at all when it comes to kseries. I can watch almost anything even those series that got low review scores. But this one is just too boring. There were a lot of mysterious acts from all the characters, but no hints were dropped to keep viewer interested. I had to drop at ep.7 becuase there were no plot development for too long I felt annoyed. And after reading reviews, I skipped to ep.12 just to watch the ending out of curiosity and still couldn't keep watching until the end LOLSo, for me, I will not recommend anyone to watch this serie, let alone rewatch it.

A Mixed Feeling :-(
Actually overall a mixed feeling for me. I can't give a worth watch tag for this drama. Because apart from any other drama, this particular one's binge and ongoing watching experience must be totally different for sure. But it's a decent drama, if your liked the plot and have no complaints about it's slowness and drag then you can watch this for sure.Start to atleast 10 or 12th Episodes the mystery and the narrative style is quite interesting. Because i sense some healing nature of story telling drama from beginning. As a big fan of that genre i enjoyed a lot in the start. But after sometime it started to get drag. They don't have anything at all to reveal actually it keep pushing the mystery hard. A total faild mystery attempt to be honest. So story wise it's a complete let down. But coming to the screenplay the emotions really worked. The cast looks stunning. Still there was drag but they managed to deliver some good heartwarming scenes in the last some episodes.
Finale Episode ended with a decent note. Not completely satisfied but got a decent ending but again emotions are still refreshing to watch. Not just emotions also romance is cute as well.
Note : Expect the dragging before watching.

For those who like deep psychological and funny dramas
I cried a lot because of the heavy emotions that characters conveyed...The past that they carried since their childhood and those traumas are really dramatic and it felt like i was experiencing everything with them. So I would recommend this drama to everyone who likes deep and thoughtful stories ? This drama is funny sometimes as well. I really love it ❤I havent finished it yet, I'm still at 10th episode but i don't want this drama to finish, cause i like everything, the vibe, the story, the characters. This drama became like home to me or like a warm blanket. Im so grateful to actors and crew for creating this masterpiece ?

Too slow and flat
At first I feel excited to watch this series as for the first 2 eps are giving us the background story and situations for both actors.But sadly to say, starting from ep 3 the series become slower and flat. They are keep repeating the same situation and no character development at all.
.
.
.
.
.
I stopped at ep 4 and still finding courageous to continue for next episode.
Overall (based on 4 eps), I like all the actors and actresses, they manage to give me some funny moments and mysterious parts. But i lost the sparks toward the series.

Unique approach of the storyline
From the short synopsis I read, it is a melodrama, mystery kinda fantasy vibe.It starts by perking the curiosity of the viewers. In the first ep, we were introduced to the characters and slight details of the main story. Chef Eun Gye Hoon had a twin that has died when he is 10years old. He always had this link with his sister. However, when she died, he never felt the connection again. Noh Da Hyun has awakened that link somehow. And was being stalked by one of her colleagues. And then something interesting happens. It kinda reminds me of The Killer's Shopping List. Anyway, I'll continue watching this drama.
