A good food show!

Let's Eat Season 2 is definitely a good Korean food show. I'm glad the male lead Koo Dae-Young (Yoon Doo-Joon) in Season 1 made his way back on season 2. His food speeches have always enlightened the histories and the preparations behind the dishes he encounters throughout the show. However, in this season, another KDY takes on a different approach to eating. That's right! Baek Soo-Ji (Seo Hyun-Jin) disagreed with KDY's way of eating. I loved this idea because it just shows that there're various way to enjoy the same dishes.

KDY remained the same from season 1. He traveled around, selling insurance, and later moved into the same apartment as BSJ.
The female lead BSJ had a troubled past because she was overweight. KDY took advantage of her and approached BSJ, hoping to get her to spend money at his mother's restaurant. KDY's kindness made BSJ fall for him, but the love soon shattered when she found out about KDY's true intentions. Their relationship started off rough, but the two managed to enjoy each other's company down the road.

The story in the second season felt quite disconnected with Season 1. Lee Soo-Kyung (Lee Soo-Kyung), who was KDY's girlfriend was only mentioned once in the first episode. The reason behind KDY breaking up with her remained unknown, so season 2 felt like it's own plot. I wished they would try to connect with the story in the first season.

Anyways, BSJ had the goal of getting married because she doesn't want to live alone by herself for the rest of her life. So she started exercising to lose weight, hoping to become attractive enough for her crush, Lee Sang-Woo (Kwon Yool). BSJ worked as a writer who barely made enough income to pay for her expenses. BSJ eventually gets KDY's help to get closer to LSW, who was a great character in this show. He had a two faced mask, one for work and the other for his close friends to separate his personal life from his work life. LSW had the money to live a luxurious life, but what he craves was not money but a relationship. He was also very thoughtful person, so I think I would enjoy the show more if the BSJ and LSW ended up together.

The show started to break BSJ and LSW apart after all the hard work KDY did in the previous episodes. Sometimes I feel like the show is forcing KDY to be with BSJ. I personally felt like they're really good friends. It doesn't make a lot of sense why BSJ would give up on LSW. The most annoying part was when BSJ became overly obsessive about KDY when he lied about having a girlfriend... like these hidden feelings came in and grew out of nowhere within KDY and BSJ... Why did BSJ not like LSW? was it because the food she eats with him are overly fancy so the portion sizes are small? Did she felt indebt to him because he spent so much money on her? but doesn't that show how much LSW cared for her... she doesn't want his affection? Why was she trying to date him in the first place... For money? No, when she confessed her feelings, it felt genuine and that's why LSW agreed to date her, but in the end... BSJ decided to break up for KDY after reaching her goal... I felt terrible for LSW.

The side characters are pretty dull... I won't mention their names, but they're just fillers with no real development between them. Basically some of them had family problems... There were mystery elements about the guy living on the rooftop. He was hiding his identity and money... which the reasons behind it all was revealed later. These characters did not impact the plot of the story and can be left out. The soundtrack in this show is pretty good, but it can get repetitive as it's used almost every time the characters eat. A lot of sea food in season 2! The cinematography of the food was superb, it made my mouth water :P I will give this show a final score of 7.0/10.
