Pasta **\ (Korean)

No Min Woo as Philip
I rather liked this one for its rather unique approach to the whole 'bad-guy vs good-guy for-friction plot base. The characters were well thought out and acted on, from the 'chef's chef' to the sister of the owner. Fav scene(s): a kitchen confession and... a bit of hope for the prez after all.
A new chef, fresh from Italy, and a horrid taskmaster with a penchant for snarling, falls in love with his tenacious youngest cook. Then, because he had already set a hard rule of no romance (or women!) in his kitchen, they are forced to keep their relationship a secret. Meanwhile, to replace the staff he'd just fired, he hires on several cooks from Italy to fill the ranks, and the local cooks are quite angry with the mix. Also, a woman, also from Italy arrives, determined to take up the chef's attention and acknowledgment... which puts 2 chefs of equal rank in the kitchen...causing a war. Then, as if that wasn't enough, the CEO snitches needed bucks and tries to pin the blame on an innocent.
