K-dramas are often associated with genres such as romance and thriller, but a few series also implement storylines involving cooking. Whether it’s used as a means to bring characters closer together or simply acts as the series’ main setting, food, restaurants, and cooking are present in a few K-dramas. Series such as Mr. Queen and Itaewon Class use food as a way to push the story forward.
