In its opening credits sequence, Link: Eat, Love, Kill promises an inviting fantasy, delectable dishes and … a dismembered hand. But while this Korean drama series does occasionally edge into the macabre, it’s hard to imagine anyone being put off by its congenial concoction of comedy, romance, drama and mystery.

Yeo Jin-goo and Moon Ga-young lead this story after having appeared in very different hit shows last year. Yeo was a serious young detective in the phenomenal serial killer thriller Beyond Evil, while Moon was the delightful klutz at the centre of the high-school romance True Beauty.

Both performers play similar characters in Link: Eat, Love, Kill, whose tone is somewhere in between that of the aforementioned series.

Yeo plays Eun Gye-hoon, a brilliant executive chef at a high-end restaurant who admonishes anyone in his team if they bring their emotions into the kitchen. Unfortunately for Gye-hoon, the person who most often breaks the rule is none other than him.
