Let's Eat 2 Review Part 1

Finally finished watching Let's Eat 2! To be honest, it was really hard for me to watch season 2 right after finishing season 1. Season 1 ended with a beautiful poem about rice; that lonely, sad, bored people can become a family and the sweet promise of never letting go of each other's hands...

To my dismay, season 2 starts with the story of break-up from the lead female of season 1 and the downhill career path of Goo Dae Yeong which forces him to move to a smaller town, Sejong... about 2 hours drive from Seoul. 

However, I did enjoy the scenic drive from episode one... Reservoirs, bridges, motorway and tunnels... and finally arriving at the destination of the huge government buildings... 

I actually didn't continue season 2 after watching the first episode. Found it really hard because the new female lead was b*tchy to Dae Yeong right from the start. The other side characters such as the land lady, grandmother and Dae Yeong's colleague (I can't even remember his name) didn't make a good impression from the start.

It was only after awhile (also because I had to wait every week for the next episode of W!!) I decided to give the series another go... and I'm glad that I did, as the story did pick up from episode 2- 3 onwards... explaining the reason Baek Soo Ji was being so mean to Dae Yeong as well as the creepy creature living on the rooftop.

Let's Eat 2 Episode 17- 18 Food recap

Let's Eat 2 Episode 17 Food recap

1. Korean pancakes- Kimchi pancake, fried egg coated perilla leaf, chestnut wine...

2. Grilled salted prawns & Octopus shabu shabu- Omo, the poor octopus... :O

3. Carnival snacks- I guess we finally get to see the churros?! And I had to add in the couple headband there... they look cute...No? ;D

Let's Eat 2 Episode 18 (Finale) Food recap

1. Rooftop Bbq- Which includes grilled meat, mushrooms, some soy bean soup and plain white rice

2. Mexican food- Burritos, nachos and a cocktail

It was strange seeing them superimpose Dae Yeong there. Apparently he was at the same spot earlier and Baek Soo Ji came later. Anyhoos... We have made it to the finale! I hope you enjoyed all the food featured in season 2.
