The production presentation of Genie TV's original 'Tastefully Yours’ (written by Jung Soo-yoon and directed by Park Dan-hee) was held at Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 8th. Creator Han Joon-hee, director Park Dan-hee, Kang Ha-neul, Ko Min-si, Kim Shin-rok and Yoo Soo-bin attended the event.
"Your Taste" depicts a warlike growth romance between Han Beom-woo (Kang Ha-neul), a chaebol heir who acquires and merges a small restaurant to inherit a food company, and Chef Mo Yeon-ju (Ko Min-si), who runs a one-table restaurant without a sign in Jeonju. Director Han Jun-hee, who created the 'D.P.' series and the 'Weak Hero' series, was the creator and new director Park Dan-hee was the director.
This work is based on what director Han Joon-hee, who participated in the work as a creator, experienced 15 years ago. Explaining that he did not tell the story of his actual experiences, but he created a story based on what he felt at the time. Director Han Jun-hee said, `I had the opportunity to work in a small and medium-sized city in Jeonju for two to three years 15 years ago. I had a job to work as a staff member, but among the tasks I had to do, I had to go to a famous restaurant. After being in Seoul, I went to the countryside and spent 2-3 years in the countryside, and I have an experience of writing stories about new friends in a short scenario. Fifteen years have passed since then, and I started with the idea of making an interesting variation to fit the story in the present with the original draft. "

The actors in 'Your Taste' will appear completely different from their previous works, showing the fun of transformation and challenge. Kang Ha-neul returned to the chaebol after a long time, and Ko Min-si and Kim Shin-rok, who boasted strong images, softened. Kang Ha-neul "It's been too long since I've actually lived as a conglomerate, so it was a little difficult. As a result, I think I approached 'What kind of personality would it be like if it were a conglomerate?' rather than thinking 'Wouldn't it be like this if it were a chaebol?' to explain the feeling of this script in a fun way. Just because it's a chaebol doesn't mean there's anything specific. When I approached with the thought of what if I became a chaebol, I think I came out with a more pleasant and laughable personality. "I'm more comfortable being ignored. It's hard to do it. I find it convenient to be ignored,' he joked.
My worries also warmed up. Ko Min-si had to learn cooking, and she continued to learn cooking from chefs on the spot and practiced cooking even before filming. Dialect was also one of the important parts, so I prepared it by asking, checking, and obsessing. Other than that, I think I put the most effort into the two because other people filled in all the areas I lacked."
Then Go Min-si was very loved by the black and white chef, so I was also a fan. As I watched it, I was impressed by the chefs' efforts and sincerity when cooking. I think I also tried to act with responsibility when playing my character. Rather than referring to a specific chef, I wanted to play the role of a chef well as a fan who enjoyed the program."

Creator Han Joon-hee, who cast them, thinks it's fun to have a conflict with the actor's previous work. No matter how many acts an actor has performed, I think it is our production team's duty to give an actor a role that we have never seen in our work. That way, the actors seem to feel good or interested. So, all the actors were close directly or indirectly and worked together, but when I asked director Park Dan-hee, I told him that the conflict between those things would be fun, and director Park also said it was good."
Director Park Dan-hee said, `All of our characters have unique charms. In my view, actors are said to be new acting challenges and transformation, but they have all their charms. I just tried to make use of the charm I already have, but I didn't think about transforming it. Actor Kang Ha-neul also talked to me a month ago for each ad-lib on the spot. I think they made a lot of effort together to the extent that they made the character with the actors, not the characters. "
Finally, I would like to say that Kang Ha-neul is the taste of walking slowly about 'your taste'"I felt it when I saw the work at a special screening in Jeonju, but I usually express that I run when the work proceeds quickly." I also see many works, but it's fun to see fast, spicy, and stimulating flavors once, but it doesn't seem easy to watch again. Our work felt a lot of slow walking, and there were many scenes I wanted to see again, so I don't know if it suits my taste, but I liked the slow walking. I think Pyeongyang naengmyeon would be good," he said with a smile.
Worried poem "Haneul has a salty taste, I have a spicy taste, Shinrok has a refreshing taste, and Soobin has a sweet taste. You can see all the characters by taste, so I think you can enjoy a rich meal. "
'Your Taste' will premiere on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA at 10 p.m. on the 12th.
