Actor Kang HaNeul, actress Go MinSi, Kim ShinRock, actor Yoo SOOBIN, and other
Jung Soo-yoon, who wrote the book, revealed the appealing points of the GENIE TV original "Romance is the Secret Ingredient" on the 11th.
"The Secret Ingredient is Romance" is a recipe book about a man who buys a small restaurant to take over a food company.
The story revolves around the battle between Han Beom (Kang HaNeul), the heir to a wealthy family who becomes a "hunter," and Mo Young Ji (Go MinSi), a stubborn chef who runs a one-table restaurant with no signboard in Jeonju.
It's a romance that grows in the kitchen like a battle. First, Kang HaNeul introduced that "Romance as the Secret Ingredient" is not just one flavor, but a variety of different flavors that can be enjoyed.
"I think it will be a TV series with a variety of flavors, such as the gorgeous flavors of food, the simple flavors, the charms of each character, and the flavors of love and growth," he said.
Go MinSi then commented on the unique comfort of the work, saying, "Four characters, each of whom was slightly immature, meet each other and gradually fill in the gaps in themselves and become complete."
"It's a work that gives comfort and gentle warmth along the way," he emphasized. He also called on viewers to "continue to watch over the four characters as they grow and fall in love."
Meanwhile, Kim Shin-Rock, who compared the film to cooking, said, "'The Secret Ingredient is Romance' is like Jeonju's water jjajang. I thought I knew it, but I didn't.
"It's a work that is full of new flavors and new sensations, even though I thought I was used to it," he said wittily. "The chemistry between the characters that develops through food is what makes this TV series special."
"It's a different highlight," he added. The series will begin airing in Korea on May 12. In Japan, it can be viewed on Netflix.
