Maybe we can expect some accidental kiss... hah, in the 45 minute preview, Bella was tripping on top of Seoung-mo My favorite part is when the little girl literately rolled into Seung-mo's life at his parents' restaurant and how hard his parents scolded him about having a kid without them knowing or got married. He was like "I told you so" when the little girl said her last name is Kim lol This is a shorter version, Here is the subbed clip of an 8-minute preview... including that "abuji" part.

I never thought of any other actor that could express a tough but thoughtful character,” expressing his strong confidence toward actor Eric. As for Go Won-hee, who plays the role of Yoo Bella, the director stated, “I had noticed her since she was a rookie.

Helena Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200327000792 Eric returns with rom-com “Eccentric! Chef Moon” By Choi Ji-won | March 27, 2020 Actress Koh Won-hee and actor Eric Mun pose for a picture before “Eccentric! Moon Chef” press conference on Friday. (Channel A) Singer-actor Eric Mun is returning to the small screen in four years to feature in Channel A’s new miniseries “Eccentric! Chef Moon,” with actress Koh Won-hee. The new series, set to air Friday night, will feature the 43-year-old as star chef Moon Seung-mo who falls in love with a reckless fashion designer Yoo Yoo-jin. Taking place in the rural and fictional Seoha Village in the northern Chungcheong Province, the drama will unfold a warm story as the two characters develop love. “After taking a break from acting, I was looking for dramas with more warm story lines compared to those of my previous pieces where I was mostly featured as a cold and sensitive character. I decided to star in this series because of the pleasant feeling through the characters and setting of the story,” Mun said during a press conference held online Friday. This is also his first appearance on a television drama since he tied the knot with actress Na Hye-mi in 2017. Previous to the marriage, Mun starred in smash-hit romantic comedies “Another Miss Oh” in 2016 and “Discovery of Love” in 2014. Producer Choi Do-hoon said during the media event that he had Mun in mind as the chef role from the very start. “Mun is actually a good cook and he sticks well with Moon Seung-mo’s image, so I really hoped he would take the role, and thankfully he accepted it,” Choi said. Mun’s active involvement in cooking variety shows was one of the reasons why Choi found Mun well-suited for a chef role. Starting with “Three Meals a Day” in 2014, after another season of the tvN show in 2017, Mun appeared on “Law of the Jungle” and “Wheeled Restaurant” in the years following. Living up to the expections, it is told that Mun pulled off the chef role perfectly. According to Choi, Mun performed more than 90 percent of all the cooking scenes himself. Koh said her character as Yoo-jin will be a dynamic and comic one. “She shows a completely different personality after losing her memory. I’ll be showing diverse aspects of myself in the drama,” Koh said. Veteran actor Ahn Nae-sang will be acting a cold-hearted successful businessman Im Cheol-yong who is “a man driven by greed” according to the actor’s explanation. Other casts include Gil Hae-yeon, Cha Jung-won and Choi Kwang-jae. The 16-episode series will air every Friday and Saturday at 10:50 p.m. By Choi Ji-won (jwc@heraldcorp.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the car, Yoo Bella candidly pointed out Im Hyun Ah had copied her ideas and stolen her dress. Im Hyun Ah panicked and sent the car flying off the edge.

My favorite scene was when the little girl rolled into Seung-mo's life, literally rolled in with her suitcase and all hahaha Just be careful what you wish for! hahahaha His I-told-so expression when the little girl said her last name is Kim!

larus Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just watched the first episode. I liked it. When I saw that Chef Moon put the knives in his suitcase I just knew that the heroine will see them and will misunderstand. It was a good oportunity for comedy. I thought she will run away from him frightened but he was terrified to see her (in the last scene). I like the kid. She is adorable. Bella (I will call her that because it is easier for me) suffered a trauma so that`s why she doesn`t like to be on the spotlight. We`ll discover later what happened with her mother. I wonder if it is something related with Im Cheol-Yong. That man is scary. His right hand implied that he did many bad things form him. We`ll see. The food looks delicious. I want to try myself the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jongski Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 And I laugh at the end scene. Seung Mo's reaction, the bg music, and when he saw walking bloody Bella.. with cuts and bruises walking zombie style. cr: So I finished the episode 1.Bella is anorexic. Seug Mo is a celebrity chef. The arson was deliberate. We don't know yet who's the child's mother or if Seung Mo's really the father. From the looks of it based on preview he rom-com will start episode 2. I wonder if Bella lost her memory? I'm not into rom-com and I usually don't watch the genre, but I like Eric. I'm not familiar with him but watch On Hae Young and I enjoyed the drama (was LOL so much). I also like that fact that he's not the glossy type of face.. if you know what I mean. So yeah, watching for Eric. Thanks for the sub Viki. cr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabbo Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I am an Eric fan in terms of his dramas. I've watched him in Discovery of Love and Another Miss Oh. Que Sera Sera is still on my plan to watch. I think part of it is that he has been fortunate to star with the best of the best actresses in kdramaland (Seo Hyun-Jin and Jung Yu-Mi). But he also plays off well with them and has great chemistry. And is it just me or does he look better than ever? I think it might be the hairstyle. Go Won-Hee was one of my discoveries in perfume last year. I think she has a lot of comedic talent and she will be great in this excentric role. So about the first episode. I really enjoyed the first half of it. Their first meeting was a lot of fun. Go Won-Hee as this fasnhionista feels so natural. It was already like that in Perfume. But then you have some bad guys burning his parents house. And they run into the burning house for some reason.. I didnt quite get what their deal was. To get the reciepe? Whatever it was.. I didnt feel that bad for them. You have her mothers death and possible conspiracy. You have her familes company stuff. I am not sure if i needed all of that. Like there was already enough as it was. Her having anorexia was a rather new and unique choice. He suddenly has a kid to look after. Her hidden idendity. Maybe that rivalry if you can even call it that with the other designer. I wasn't the biggest fan of her amnesia when i read about it but ok that's a way to change her into this exccentric personality. And have that countryside setting. All of this sounds more than enough to make a drama out of it. But all the other stuff? Is that really nessecary? I just hope it doesn't go like Forest where you had a little bit of everything but no clear direction. Well let's see how it goes. I hope we won't see too much screentime on those people fighting over who is ceo and evil family plots. I am looking forward to the back and forth between the 2 leads next episode though.
