Yay! I love Song il gook! :)

I will give this a try just because Song il gook is in it. ;P

funny things, JUMONG just rerun airing here in my country. i like SIG and PJH, i hope their have a cute chemestry..so i am gonna watch this one out.

I liked her in War of Money. Thats her right? Anyways I already like the sound of their relationship. She's got balls to be picking fights with the owner. I like her already.

she's so gorgeous..

Can't help but wonder if there's gonna be an english title contest fr this drama. Love d first poster

The background is gorgeous. Any idea on where this is supposed to be?

The trailer looks good.

Not sure about watching this one.

I adore Song Il-kook in sageuks and yet can barely tolerate him in contemporary pieces.

I like the premise of this drama - food related, it's all good!
:)

I wonder if the official english title is Kimchi family? that sounds cuter

Seems like actors nowadays are turning into cable drama

These food centered dramas always make me hungry.

I'll kimchi Song Il-kook's bap any time.

*Ahem*

Looks like a nice gentle drama with some bickering - look forward to it.

Love and kimchi? We will see.

I hope it won't become anther Gourmet for me because I just couldn't finish it no matter how hard I tried.

kimchi? I'm in. :)

The story is the other way around.

It's "SHE’s the restaurant owner and HE’s the part-time employee".

Hi javabeans,

I loved your drama food montage in the Gourmet recaps. I even saved your recaps because of the awesome and delicious food photos.

I love any drama involving food. I will watch out for this.

Javabeans,

I'm sad you are not re-capping the series. So far it's been really good and I've really enjoyed it. After each episode I always come read the recaps and find things I've missed. I totally rely on the recaps for that. I feel so alone watching the drama without your recaps.

Love, love this!! My current favorite besides Padam Padam.

Beautiful writing, plots, characters and the scenery!!
It makes me home sick to go to Korea and spend at least a month just tasting all the foods they are making.

JB, please recap so people won't miss out on this one..

Clearly, neither javabeans nor girlfriday are fans of Fermentation/Kimchi Family. The show is not on dramabeans' recap list.

That's fine. Obviously even those two are going to have their likes and dislikes. And how crazy would it be to try and keep track of EVERY K-drama that comes out? (VERY.)

F/KF is no Pasta. And it is no Gourmet. It's very low-key compared to those two, both in its romantic elements and in its food worship.

Sometimes it's blatantly moralistic, though in a sweet, hopeful way.

And the switching back and forth from restaurant family scenes to crime family scenes is just a little disconcerting at times.

Oh, and Dad wandering about like an itinerant martial arts master . . . ???

But for reasons I can't always put my finger on, I love it to death.

I love reading the recaps here at this site but must say that I am disappointed that there is no recap nor even a mention of Fermented Family. So many other Kdramas are predictable, silly, loaded with over-the-top acting and the same-old same-old themes like the Cinderella story. This show has so much heart, a great deal of suspense, some kick ass fighting, incredible scenery and lots of food porn. I can't get enough of it and am saddened that there is no recap. But then again, I'm not paying to visit this site and it's no knock on the great work that is done on this site. But seriously, anyone else out there agree that this is a great show, or am I (and everyone else I know who watches it) alone? Just sayin'

This show is so worth the watch!! I started it once Padam Padam completed. I love the story! I cry with every side story whereby people who come to the restaurant relive moments in their past on how the restaurant, the owners or the food have saved their life!! Every story is so heart-wrenching! I cannot begin to pinpoint one in particular. The actor and his wife/girlfriend (not sure) is probably the saddest of them all!! This is so worth watching!!

I too really loved this drama and I am sorry that in my search of best dramas I haven't seen it on any lists. Generally I like a lot of the same dramas as dramabeans so I feel sad that they missed it. Should be on the drama list. Made me want to watch more of the main actor--he was so good in this. Different. Great scenery and good food. It was a feel good drama.
