Let's Eat centers mostly on food (surprise, surprise). So much so, that the plot barely touches romance or drama until maybe the last few episodes. Watching this show made me not only hungry but also a little envious since I didn't have access to such delicious-looking dishes at the time. From time to time, I was also annoyed by the noises. The noises that the characters made whenever they ate food. Yes, I understand that you're enjoying the food, but I don't want to hear prolonged periods of moans and sighs (*Sidenote: I don't come from a culture where long noises with food is often appreciated). Other than food and eating (and the noises that come with it), the story has some comedic and friendship/neighborly relations aspects that definitely assist in moving the plot forward and making Let's Eat more pleasant to watch. The acting was decent, nothing too out of the ordinary. Though, for two of the characters, Koo Dae-Young (Yoon Doo-Joon) and Kim Hak-Moon (Shim Hyung-Tak), I couldn't tell if it was bad acting or if their characters were generally stiff, lacking well-rounded personalities. The music definitely went hand-in-hand with the storyline and the character's relationships. Even more so when food was displayed or whenever the characters ate. Overall, it is unlikely that I will rewatch this show and I am somewhat hesitant to continue on with Let's Eat 2...
