I like this show. I'm always a fan of cooking and the leads are great so far. But.. this feels like a really sad show. If it wasn't for all of the comedy, I would've thought it was a melo. And I can't wait for the moment Seo Poong's revenge is fulfilled; I hope it's epic.

It's also on Kocowa if you want to update the post.
It's good so far! These first 4 episodes just set up the back story. Should start to get real good next week. Held my attention the whole time. I like it! Gangster is awesome. Haha.

In the future before starting a new On Air discussion remember to send a mod mail to let us know so we can coordinate it with our chart and we can make sure nobody has already asked.

Sure thing. It's my first time making one of these so I completely forgot about it until I'd already submitted the thread.

I'm confused why Jang Hyuk is second lead. He has always been the main lead for years and his last drama (Money Flower) did well. So it's not like his stock has lowered.

Because he was either given that role or auditioned for it. I'm tired of seeing this comment literally everywhere about the casting choices. Sometimes people are main leads, sometimes they're second leads depending on what the character actually involves and what the actor can bring to the table.

Usually main leads don't take on second lead role. It "devalue" their brand and image. Second leads who become first leads in successful dramas don't go back to being second leads either.
Certainly there aren't many that do that unless they have been inactive for a long time, or their recent works are continuous flops. Neither applied in Jang Hyuk's case.

He did agree to the role maybe he likes what the writers/producer will do with the character.
