Mo Yeon-joo, played by Go Min-si's is the chef who not only makes good food, she creates an atmosphere so warm and welcoming, it feels like home in her little restaurant called Jungjae. Among the key cast members is actor Yoo Soo-bin, who appears as Shin Choon-seung in the drama.

Despite being an heir to a local rice soup restaurant, Choon-seung joins Jungjae, thanks to his father, who didn't trust him with the business. However, by the end of the K-drama, Choon-seung proved his capability, ultimately winning his father's trust.

Soo-bin’s character brought plenty of laughs to Tastefully Yours, thanks to his hilarious facial expressions and funny antics. However, the actor got a bit emotional when the series came to an end. Soo-bin said:

"I laughed, cried, and had a great time every week, and I feel sad that it has come to an end."

He continued:

"I love all the characters in 'Tastefully Yours'. I hope everyone is living happily somewhere."

Filming the drama became a meaningful part of his life every week, filled with moments that made him laugh and cry. Soo-bin also mentioned that every character in the series was special to him, and he hopes they’re all living a good life.

Yoo Soo-bin opened up about filming and wrapping up Tastefully Yours

Since the Tastefully Yours finale came out, fans couldn't stop talking about the surprise cameo by Park Ji-hoon, who co-starred with Yoo Soo-bin in Weak Hero. The actor steps in as Myeong-suk's favorite actor from a fictional K-drama, Lovely Jogger and makes the ending even more entertaining.

In the same interview, Yoo Soo-bin was asked to share how to approached his character in Tastefully Yours. The actor said:

"I tried to look at him with a juvenile and pure heart, and I performed hoping that viewers would think, 'The kid is good' while watching Choon-seung."

The actor also shared one of his memorable scenes from the show, which is when Choon-seung's father finally acknowledged his skills. He explained:

"I remember the moment I was acknowledged by my father in Jeongjae... I vividly remember bursting into tears..."

Soo-bin also thanked the writers for this heartfelt story, saying:

"I’m relieved that a major stone in Choon-seung's heart seems to have been resolved, and I sincerely thank the writer for providing such good content."

Soo-bin carefully prepared the role as he didn't want Choon-seung to look like a villain, but childish and a bit immature at the beginning. He hoped that the audience would see Choon-seung and think "The kid is good", and he absolutely pulled it off.

Apart from Tastefully Yours, Yoo Soo-bin has played memorable characters in K-dramas like Crash Landing on You, Start-Up, Tale of the Nine Tailed: An Unfinished Story and more.
