Promo stills from MBC’s Pasta

by javabeans

Cute. I admit I haven’t been terribly intrigued about MBC’s new drama Pasta — it’s up against Jejoongwon and God of Study, while Chuno airs a few days later — but the promos featuring Lee Seon-kyun (Coffee Prince) and Gong Hyo-jin (Thank You) do look adorable, as does the preview clip below.

The Italian restaurant-themed drama shot its promo posters at a Kangnam restaurant on December 9. Lee Seon-kyun plays the prickly head chef, while Gong Hyo-jin is an assistant.

Lee’s character (sigh) harbors a painful past that makes him unwilling to recognize the talents of women chefs (what a creative excuse for being a sexist?). This leads him to clash with Gong repeatedly in the kitchen as they get off to a rocky start. Gong says that although she has filmed with Lee for a month, there have been so many scenes with him tormenting her that she still can’t quite look him in the eye.

Lee said, “People keep asking me these days whether I feel the pressure of following Queen Seon-deok. Because they keep asking, I’m starting to feel the pressure.” Laughingly, he added, “Our drama isn’t going up against Queen Seon-deok. I’ll work hard so I hope we’ll be as loved as them.”

The drama also stars Honey Lee (Partner) and Clazziquai’s Alex, and premieres on MBC on January 4.

With Lee Seon-kyun as the lead? Of course, I'll be watching this. For all I care, he could read the telephone directory and I'd still be interested <.< Am I the only one?

And YaY Alex! <3

I like the leads, but the story doesn't seem all that fresh or original.

But why is there a problem with women chefs? In the old days, didn't men always say that a woman's place was in the Kitchen?

"Gong Hyo Jin’s back!

Just say....Alex..Oh Alex.. and that's enough

Sad he does not sing here and did not catch any background of his voice. I like this drama. I have a soft spot for Lee Seong Gyu and the rest of the cast is interesting.

Still watching this on TV in Caifornia. Still liking it.

Oh Alex...sigh.
