Name That Drama: Salty, really salty

Ready for another round of drama-sleuthing? Help out your fellow Beanies or use this form to send in your own questions and requests for future Name That Drama installments.
There’s this one scene I’ve been remembering lately, where the female lead cooks (soup, I think? Seaweed soup, maybe), but it’s really salty, and the male lead takes a bite, says it’s salty and continues eating it anyway. I remember the dialogue, “Salty. Oh, salty, really salty” because he says it absolutely deadpan while still chowing down and it was really funny. I think the drama came out in the last five years, and the male lead may have been Kim Sun-ho? Don’t quote me on that, though. I think it was a rom-com, if that helps narrow it down. Anyway, I’d love some help finding it. Thanks in advance!

Wow, this is really precise. But I don't think this it...in the scene I'm remembering, it's the male lead who says it, and in Homcha, the friend is the one saying it.
They're at a table or something in the scene and they're having a meal because I think there's rice.
Thanks though, this took me down a Chief Hong rabbit hole :)
Maybe this should be a Treasure Hunt. Times one lead ate salty food made by the other lead.

This was the one I thought of immediately too. And the ML does say it first, before they cut to the friend repeating it! He doesn't want her to know just how salty it is, so he keeps it all away from her and eats it himself.
But if that is not it, we will keep looking!

If that beanie had not mentioned Kim Seon Ho, the drama could be Jugglers. But that's older.

If it's not Hometown Cha Cha Cha, can it be Jugglers (2017)?
But you are right, this could be a Treasure Hunt because too salty food made by the FL is almost a trope.

This may sound like a weird thing to remember, but I think the male lead's voice had a higher tone than Daniel Choi's. Also, I may be getting the food wrong as well. I might have just assumed soup because usually it's the soup that's salty, but it could just as easily be, I dunno, stew or gimbap or something.
I apologise for my appalling memory :(

Might it be Marriage Contract with Lee Seojin and Uee? There is a scene in the restaurant they run where she is unable too judge the saltiness of a dish-soup- I think. There is a group of people at the table.
