Warm and Cozy’s chef jockey restaurateur
by girlfriday
Just how many jobs and/or hobbies will Yoo Yeon-seok have in this drama? Cameras began rolling on the set of the new Hong sisters drama Warm and Cozy, which brings Yoo Yeon-seok and Kang So-ra together in an opposites-attract romantic comedy set in a cozy little restaurant on Jeju Island. But from the looks of the show’s early stills, our chef-restaurateur hero will have a very different life that he leaves behind in the big city.
The drama is described as a love story between the fabled hardworking ant and lazy grasshopper, except this ant has an anger problem and the grasshopper isn’t so in touch with his feelings. Anger, sparks, and possibly tasty food, will fly.
Yoo Yeon-seok plays a chef who runs a restaurant called Warm and Cozy down on Jeju Island, and Kang So-ra’s character has worked in the administration department of a clothing agency for five years. She ends up on the island and starts working at the restaurant, where they’ll warm (or worm, what have you) their way into each other’s hearts.
Their first shoot had them meeting-cute at Gimpo Airport on their way to Jeju, where Kang So-ra already looks exasperated at Yoo Yeon-seok. And I dunno why anyone would be riding horses in the middle of Seoul, but that’s the latest batch of stills for Yoo Yeon-seok’s character. It’s probably going to be a hilarious scene, but he should maybe retire that hat forever. Pretty please?
Warm and Cozy follows Angry Mom and premieres May 13 on MBC.

I don't know why, but I'm laughing at Kang SoRa's expressions. They're/ She's adorable!
Also, YeonSeok looks like a bumbling kid - my favourite kind of character. :P

Hopefully the drama will deliver the necessary humor and cute, because (a) Kang Sora and (b) Hong Sisters drama.
I like YYS, but he became too puppy-like in R94 and I would love to see him act rude and ignorant but also hilarious. The stills show that these two actors are going to be quite amazing.... Their meet-cute looks already adorable!
Also can I say, I'm going to miss Bok Dongie sooooooooo much...... *sniff*

Re: the horse
Is YYS a famous restaurateur? Maybe he's filming some sort of silly, self-centered commercial like Dokko Jin in Best Love?

"... where they’ll warm (or worm, what have you)..."
HAHAHA. And I think the hat is cute! Out of place but cute. It reminds me of BOF's boys.

Maybe it's a nod to the original title? Jeju Island Gatsby? Kind of seems like a gatsby hat to me. Though I always wondered how the gatsby would have fit in since it's a romcom.

There's actually quite a mishmash of horsey gear in that photo. He's wearing a polo team jersey, polo whites (basically just white jeans) and polo helmet (oddly with the chin strap removed). And jumping/eventing gloves and dressage boots (near as I can tell from the photo.)
The horse looks like a garden variety OTTB out for a trail ride, it's decked out in a saddle and bridle/martingale used for hunter/jumper work.
Here's how the 'hat' should look (top photo):

They're kinda cool, in context.
Where I'm hoping they're going with this:
Jeju has Korea's only polo club. Hope to see some playing action, with dilettante city boy sipping champagne on the sidelines. Or that they'll put our cute lead on a real polo pony. As a rule they're some of the best trained, safest and most rideable horses.
But I'm biased. ?

Oh, and must say I agree, the leather polo helmets are pretty darn ugly. The fabric ones are better...

Woo hoo! Just found larger, higher resolution photos and the jersey has the Korea Polo and Country Club logo on it.
But he's not wearing polo whites. He's wearing dressage breeches. Um. Kinda the polo equivalent of a guy wearing tightie-whities. ?

This is completely random but whenever I look at Daehan (the oldest triplet from Superman is back variety show) he gives me the Yoo Yeonsuk vibes (and vice versa) hahaha

Hahahahahaha.
Airs May 13th
Universe, why? Life, why? I have two important exams on that day, plus an evening class. Basically a killer long day. And the rest of May ain't so easy either. And then comes my leave during June-July.
When will I ever watch all these upcoming, great looking dramas?
On the other hand, can't wait to see Yoo Yeon Seok again!

Kang So Ra is the ant, Yoo Yeon Seok is the grasshopper :D
"...Yoo Yeon-seok took on the role as Baek Geon-woo, who is handsome, gentle and good mannered perfect guy. However, he only pursues what pleases him, a typical type of the lazy grasshopper from the well-known Aesop fables.
...Kang So-ra will play Lee Jeong-joo who has been working harder than anyone, however keeps going through tough situations instead of enjoying the rewards. She is an ant who keeps complaining and suffering from Hwabyung, the cultural-bound syndrome. "

whoaaaaaa!!!! This is truly awsmm. After seeing the trailer I was like "This drama is just going to kill me". Really a very intresting one. The posters got it all. YYS is so adorable. He made me swoon every time he opened his mouth. The way he talks is just so cute. As we already know about kang so ra she is cute and bubbly.
