Pasta

Very bad and confusing plot and characters writing. English translation was quite bad, making it difficult to get the humour or some conversations.

I couldn't make it past the pilot...

I love the comedy of this show and make me laugh every time I watch it. The cast are so cute tho.

You should definitely watch it and enjoy! I like it.

"Pasta" is the first Korean drama I saw in Netflix (Hulu also offers a lot of Asian shows) attracted for the theme focusing in a restaurant and food. I enjoyed this show because I like learning about different cultures and after watching the first episode I was totally captured for the plot and the high quality of this production.

"Pasta" is about a girl who wants to become a chef of an Italian restaurant in South Korea. At this point I should say that Korean dramas are very close related to Mexican soap operas but also have a lot of Manga elements. There is always a love story (many times a love triangle), a lot of comedy and, of course, a lot of drama. "Pasta" in particular has a lot of fun and you learn some cooking too.

So far I have watched three Korean dramas and I noticed that they usually have between 16 to 20 episodes of one hour each. The only thing that could bother a little bit about Korean dramas to Americans is the way women are portrayed kind of passive, but seeing this behavior in the three shows I guess is part of the culture over there. I can recommend also "You Are Beautiful".

This drama taught you to sacrifice your goals in life to stay in a relationship with an arogant man. Especially poisonous by showing that women should do that and it's ok to be a weak woman.. Very unrealistic... Kdrama with those handsome and pretty characters with pretty clothes and dresses everyday and every moment in their story are more realistic than this one.

This was fun to watch, learning more about how a kitchen operates and all. I watched it a bit sped up cause it tended to be slow.

My only issue was the sound mixing, I don't know if it was because I watched it on my phone and this was clearly made for TV back in the day. But the music was unbearable at times, super loud and annoying. A couple songs were fine, but after 20 episodes of listening to the same music all the time, and at such a loud volume compared to the dialogue, I had to keep muting it at some points.

Other than that so I fill up this review, the lead actors are two of the most famous Korean actors and we can see why, they're really good.
