Historically, I have not enjoyed eating. Not in an I-have-an-eating-disorder-way or anything, but some people just eat to live, while others live to eat.

In all scenarios, I didn’t enjoy eating. Because I didn’t like eating, I hated cooking. My poor future husband had to endure my one attempt at cooking for him while we were dating—an overly dry roast in a crockpot slow cooker, which was like chewing leather—and he still married me. That is why he’s the chef in our family, and a good one at that. They say that when you’re married to a person long enough, you start becoming like them. I wish that were the case with my cooking. Unfortunately not! But I have come to appreciate food much more than prior, and I do have K-dramas to partially thank for that.

No, it was the awkward second lead, Sang-woo, with whom I identified. For those not familiar with his character, he was not a food-lover, never had food in his fridge, never felt the pangs of hunger, and didn’t think about his next meal, even as his date was starving! He just saw eating as a means to live. He is exactly what I was before meeting my husband and learning to appreciate food and how food is prepared. The character saw food as just a means to an end and not really an experience to enjoy. He was also a loner, without many friends, and no place to foster these friendships.
