Synopsis

Han Ji-yu is an employee on the marketing team of a liquor company. Park Ki-hoon, on the other hand, is a devilishly charming, skilful chef of a famous restaurant. When Ji-yu is asked to contact Ki-hoon’s restaurant in search of a potential collaboration, he runs up against a few walls—namely, Ki-hoon’s flat out refusal to sell any alcoholic drinks in his restaurant. But Ji-yu is not ready to just give up. What will he do to break the stubborn chef? Two men from different walks of life learn to open up to each other through the intoxicating power of love.

 A Sweet Blend of Romance and Culinary Delights

“All the Liquors” is an eight-episode Korean drama that serves up a delightful mix of romance, friendship, and gastronomy. Set in the bustling world of a liquor company and a renowned restaurant, the series introduces us to two intriguing characters: Han Ji Yu, a marketing team employee, and Park Ki Hoon, a talented chef.

The Chemistry: The drama’s strength lies in the chemistry between the two leads. Ji Yu and Ki Hoon share a sweet, tentative connection that feels organic. Their gazes and smiles speak volumes, and their interactions are heartwarming. Unlike typical BL dramas, the cold male lead isn’t excessively rude, and the warm male lead isn’t overly dense. Their relationship blossoms naturally, and the double entendre of “do you want to eat ramyeon” adds a playful layer to their dynamic.

Humor and Side Characters: The show sprinkles subtle doses of humor throughout. From cliché situational comedy to the “forever-alone” best friend stuck in an on-again, off-again cycle with his off-screen boyfriend, the side characters add depth and charm. The kiss scenes, while well-built, occasionally lack proportional execution.

Plot and Pacing: However, “All the Liquors” stumbles in its plot construction. Despite aiming to be a food drama, it doesn’t give enough attention to the culinary aspect. Jiyu’s relationship with alcohol borders on the cusp of alcoholism, and Kihoon’s aversion to alcohol lacks impactful delivery. The pacing shifts abruptly, leaving some unresolved tensions and underdeveloped subplots.

Themes and Messages: The drama leaves us with thought-provoking messages:

  • Diverse Tastes: Just as everyone enjoys the same dish prepared in different ways, our characters find their unique paths to happiness.
  • Celebration and Company: Food and drinks taste best when shared with friendly company. The joy lies not only in the flavors but also in the camaraderie.

Final Thoughts: “All the Liquors” may not be the most memorable South Korean BL drama, but it offers moments of warmth, laughter, and culinary appreciation. If you’re craving a light-hearted series with a dash of romance, this one’s worth a shot. And don’t be surprised if it leaves you hungry for both love and good food!
