The Story
A successful chef moves back to his childhood neighborhood to open his own restaurant. But the town and its people are a constant reminder of his twin sister, who went missing 12 years ago, and was never found. When he finds himself emotionally "connected" to the young woman across the street, in the same way that he had once been connected to his sister, he begins to wonder if she could either be his long-lost sibling or have some tie to her disappearance. Though the woman doesn't seem to remember anything from that time, pieces of the past begin to surface. And as memories and events come to light, unexpected enemies and allies are also revealed.
Should I Watch
"Link: Eat, Love, Kill" is a romantic mystery drama that hinges on a bit of sci-fi. Maybe it is just my inability to give anything starring Yeo Jin Gu a low score, but feelings were mixed on this one. This drama is not perfect. The plot has plenty of holes that are frustrating and the overall pace of the drama is surprisingly slow. So, if you are looking for an action based, logical murder mystery, this isn't a good option. But as a romantic drama with a bit of suspense, and touches of dark humor, this one does a nice job. The cast was amazing, the concept of the lead's mysterious "connection" was utilized and ultimately explained well, and the story of the missing sister is evenly paced throughout. Don't let the unfortunate title scare you. This one is neither gory or unnecessarily heavy. You might even call it a "Beyond Evil" lite. I give "Link: Eat, Love Kill" a 9 out of 10 ramen.

Thanks for the review. I’ve read the plot is uneven with holes but you’ve given me reason to give the drama a chance.
What’s your favorite way to eat ramen?
That’s great! I feel like it’s worth the chance, so I hope you enjoy it as well. Honestly, there is no bad way to eat ramen in my opinion, but years of living in Japan definitely influenced my tastes. My favorite is a soupy ramen with tonkatsu broth and garlic. If I’m at home, I stir in an egg and frozen vegetables.
