Pasta ep 3-4

Whoops late post :x

I always seem to remember watching the drama but forgetting to blog about it >_<. fail!

Anywho, I thought Pasta would show more cooking since the title is a food and the setting is mainly at the restaurant but the interactions between the characters are more important. They don't really cook as much in this drama, like Brigitte said, they do a lot of pan shaking. I don't know why its such of huge importance to shake the pans while cooking the pasta but the chef makes a big deal of it.

I'm starting to like the main girl lead a bit more, because I really thought she would just give up after losing to the chef but you see her come back the next day. She is pretty gutsy because the chef because the chef really wants her out. She's a woman anyways and the chef doesn't like woman cooks so going back to la sfera in the first place really shows her courage and love for the restaurant. The drama also shows a flashback of how she got into la sfera in the first place, by ordering a lot of food and not being able to pay for the order. I would like that to happen right now in America, because its so hard to find a job now >_>. Unfortunately, they won't be as nice over here.

Also, we find out that the chef's ex, Se-young was the one who recommended the president to hire Hyun-wook. I wonder why she is doing all of this, giving Hyun-wook the job and buying Yoo-kyung's apartment that is coincidently in the same building as Hyun-wook's place.

I also want to make a comment about the pickled cucumbers and pasta. Do Koreans really eat pasta with pickled cucumbers? The taste of something sweet/tangy from the pickles and the salty taste from the pasta doesn't seem so tasty to me. However, I might be wrong. Gotta go make some pasta and get pickled cucumbers now to try it out!

I'm also confused why the chef hugged her in the end of the fourth episode, I thought he didn't like her but I guess not? I might have missed something though.

So far, Pasta hasn't really gotten much of my attention. I think Coffee Prince grasped my attention a lot better in the beginning episodes compared to this drama.
