Love good food? These K-dramas will have you ordering delivery from the nearest Korean restaurant (or grocery)! But wait, there’s more: Get ready for a parade of tasty dishes that go beyond Korean cuisine, too. These dramas will serve you all sorts of #foodporn that will keep your stomach satiated while waiting for your food delivery to arrive.
Below is a list of K-dramas that have the best food scenes, which you can watch on Netflix, Viu, and iQIYI:
1. Dinner Mate (2020)
Who’s in it: Song Seung Heon, Seo Ji Hye, Lee Ji Hoon, Son Nae Eun
Where to watch it: iQiyi
Based on the webtoon Would You Like To Have Dinner Together?, Dinner Mate tells the story of two strangers who decide to have regular dinner dates with no personal information shared and no commitment involved. Do Hee (Ji Hye) is a producer-director whose cheating BF becomes part of the reason she meets Hae Kyung, (Seung Heon) a psychiatrist who specializes in food therapy. The two eat just about everywhere in the drama, and we’re treated to dishes as simple as convenience store ramyeon to more extravagant fare like fancy steak at a resto.

2. Hospital Playlist (2020 - ongoing)
Who’s in it: Jo Jung Suk, Yoo Yeon Seok, Jung Kyung Ho, Kim Dae Myung, Jeon Mi Do
Where to watch it: Netflix
This heartwarming slice-of-life drama from the director of the famous Reply series follows the lives of five doctors, all with different specialties, who have been friends since med school. While the drama isn’t about food, the characters do happen to eat a lot. There are tons of scenes in the hospital cafeteria and samgyupsal restos, and we’ve come to love the iconic egg sandwich (from a Korean chain) little Uju keeps on eating, too. The cast eats so deliciously our stomachs can’t help rumbling!

We’ve got a former hotel chef (Jun Ho), a fallen heiress (Ryeo Won), and a former gangster (Hyuk) joining hands to offer yummy comfort food to the neighborhood. This drama features top-notch cinematography for its food scenes. We can’t get over their jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles)—a dish so good it made heiress Sae Woo decide to turn over a new leaf in the show.

7. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (2016)
Who’s in it: Lee Sung Kyung, Nam Joo Hyuk, Lee Jae Yoon, Kyung Soo Jin
Where to watch it: Netflix
In this cute coming-of-age romance, aspiring weightlifter Bok Joo (Sung Kyung) crushes on Doctor Jae Yi, the elder brother of swimming athlete Joon Yung (Joo Hyuk). As Joon Yung helps her, he starts falling for her instead. Now, this drama is like an ode to Korean barbecue and fried chicken (we’d like to thank Lee Jong Suk for his fried chicken cameo too). Watching Bok Joo eat is the best mukbang experience ever. Who can forget the scene where she shares the BFN (barbecue, fried rice, naengmyeon) routine for maximum enjoyment of your K-BBQ?

Who’s in it: Yoon Doo Joon, Seo Hyun Jin, Kwon Yul
Where to watch it: Netflix
This drama has three food-tastic seasons, so you’re free to watch all of them and enjoy all the food scenes. We’re highlighting Let’s Eat 2, our fave season, which focuses on Dae Young (Du Jun) who moves to a new town outside of Seoul. He helps his next-door neighbor, Soo Ji (Hyun Jin), capture the attention of the man she loves, while falling for her along the way. Dae Young is a food blogger, so there are food scenes in each ep, like a Chinese food feast and all sorts of oyster dishes (pancakes, rice, and more). Yum!
