Pasta starring Lee Sun Gyun, Gong Hyo Jin, Alex, and Honey Lee
Beloved actors Lee Sun Gyun (Coffee Prince, Triple) and Gong Hyo Jin (Thank You, Hello My Teacher) light up the screen in this bubbly, addicting story of an cold master chef and a stubborn, warm-hearted kitchen assistant. Feel-good and well-produced, Pasta is reminiscent of 2007's drama smash hit The First Shop of Coffee Prince. Alex of popular band Clazziquai, Honey Lee of 2009's Partner, and a host of hilarious and handsome supporting actors round out the cast.
Seo Yoo Kyung (Gong Hyo Jin) has endured the grueling job of kitchen assistant at high-class restaurant La Sfera, for two years in hopes of being promoted to chef. Things are looking up as she meets a handsome stranger on the street, who ends up being the restaurant's new head chef, who is a completely different person in the kitchen. On his first day on the job he fires all the female cooks, including Yoo Kyung.
Yoo Kyung, however, too stubborn to let go of her dream, is willing to do whatever it takes to get her job back. Yoo Kyung struggles as she butts heads with the new chef, while trying to learn everything she can from him at the same time, and sparks begin to fly. Things are complicated by the presence of Kim San (Alex), a charming customer with an eye for Yoo Kyung who seems to have mysterious ties to the restaurant, and Oh Sae Young (Lee Ha Nui/Honey Lee), a famous TV Chef and former love of Hyun Wook, not to mention the kitchen politics that get in the way of their budding romance.
With ratings that have been steadily climbing since the drama debuted, Pasta is certainly not to be missed.
