In the Tastefully Yours episode 5, there were some unexpected moments. The drama aired on May 26 and recorded its highest viewership ratings so far. According to Nielsen Korea, it reached 3.4% nationwide and 3.2% in the metropolitan area. That’s a solid jump and shows more people are tuning in.
The story in this episode got more intense. Han Beom-woo, played by Kang Ha-neul, and Mo Yeon-ju, played by Go Min-si, had a big shift in their relationship. After sharing a kiss, Han Beom-woo looked hopeful and excited. He even went to work the next day in a great mood. But that didn’t last long.
Mo Yeon-ju reacted completely differently. She told him the kiss was a mistake. She said not to think too much of it. That hit Han Beom-woo hard. Still, he tried to act like it didn’t bother him. Later, after drinking, he went to her again and spoke honestly about his feelings. That moment felt real and warm. Viewers saw Mo Yeon-ju smile, too. It was a small but sweet moment.
They planned to go on a real date. But that plan didn’t go smoothly. Jeon Min, Mo Yeon-ju’s former colleague, showed up out of nowhere. He’s the head chef at Le Mury Sapporo. He apologized to Mo Yeon-ju for the past. He also said he wanted her back at the restaurant. But she told him clearly—it was her choice to leave, and she wasn’t going back.
Hidden Past Comes to Light
Later, Jin Myeong-sook, played by Kim Shin-rok, gave Han Beom-woo something surprising. It was Mo Yeon-ju’s diploma from a famous culinary school and a photo from her time at Le Mury. That’s when he realized she had a past she never talked about. She’s more experienced and skilled than he ever imagined.
The international couple’s event ended well. The food and hospitality were flawless. Han Beom-woo, Mo Yeon-ju, and the team made it a success. After that, Han Beom-woo waited for their date. Mo Yeon-ju showed up, and they had a quiet evening together. They watched a movie, walked through Hanok Village, and seemed to enjoy each other’s company. But something still felt delicate between them. They were clearly holding back.
Mo Yeon-ju slowly opened up. She told Han Beom-woo about her past. She said she studied at a well-known cooking school. That’s where she met Jeon Min. She even admitted she liked him back then because he was kind to her. Jeon Min also asked her to return to Le Mury, but she had said no.
That’s why what happened next was surprising.
The very next day, Mo Yeon-ju left. No one saw it coming. She went to Sapporo without saying goodbye in person. All she left behind was a short note. Her sudden departure shocked Han Beom-woo, the whole ‘Jeong-je’ team, and the audience too.
A Sudden Twist Changes Everything
Even though she left, Mo Yeon-ju had shared everything about her past with Han Beom-woo. That shows trust. She also had strong feelings for the people at ‘Jeong-je’. She cared about them deeply. This makes her sudden decision more confusing. Why would she leave right after opening up?
That’s the big question now. Why did she leave? What made her go to Sapporo? Viewers are now wondering what Han Beom-woo will do. Can he bring her back? Will he fight for her even with Jeon Min still in the picture?
The story is becoming more layered. These characters feel real, and their emotions are easy to relate to. Things don’t feel forced. They feel like how people actually act in complicated situations. Nothing is overly dramatic. The feelings come through in quiet, simple ways.
The drama continues to balance heart and realism. It gives enough detail to keep viewers curious, but still stays grounded. No one’s perfect. Everyone has their flaws and past mistakes. That’s what makes it relatable.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see what happens next. Tastefully Yours episode 6 will air on May 27 at 10 PM on ENA. After that, it’ll be available on KT Genie TV as a free VOD. It can also be streamed on Netflix.
For anyone who missed episode 5 or wants a recap, this was a key moment in the story. The connection between Han Beom-woo and Mo Yeon-ju took a serious turn. And with her sudden trip to Sapporo, things are left uncertain.
Stay tuned to see where their story goes. Will Mo Yeon-ju return? Can Han Beom-woo bring her back? Or is this the beginning of a bigger change for both of them?
