Pasta Episode 15-16

Alrighty, the fun begins! In episode 15 and 16, Yoo Kyung is in for quite a rollercoaster. Kim San confesses that he likes her - but she either doesn't quite get it or is pretending not to. Either way, the love triangle is out there now. The former president starts meddling again, causing tension once again between Team Korea chefs, Team Italy chefs, and Hyun Wook. With all that tension in the kitchen, along with the former president's nosiness, Yoo Kyung and Hyun Wook are backed in a corner with questions about their relationship.

Surprisingly, Chef admits to all of it - saying he loves Yoo Kyung, that he's in a relationship, and that he would now leave the kitchen and La Sfera. The camera pans to other characters reactions, and it looks like this proclamation is a slap to the face for Sae Young. This type of scene is interesting, because although he's saying he loves her, it's a pretty sad and tense scene... I want to kick the ex-president. Chef Hyun Wook leaves, and Team Korea is really happy with working with just Sae Young. I guess if the boss that tormented you leaves, you'd be happy too - but it's a little sad that they don't show an inkling of missing Chef or wonder what's going to happen next for them. It's also true that Sae Young doesn't discipline the chefs, so they're not going to learn.

I'm liking how Yoo Kyung is dressing as the episodes progress - it feels like there's some changes. The earlier episodes, I found her unkempt and kind of frazzled looking, and now she's more put together as she becomes more confident in her cooking and life.

Chef's Chef - the former chef that taught Hyun Wook and Sae Young in Italy, I believe - comes by and is impressed by Yoo Kyung. Yoo Kyung solves the mystery of Hyun Wook's failed recipe, thus verifying her importance and talent as a chef. She's not completely useless. This also ends the strife between Sae Young and Hyun Wook - she was really not an inferior chef the entire time. Therefore, she didn't need to come back and prove herself to him at all...
