Final Table K-drama gets 2.4 percent rating, chilly review

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA newspaper in Hong Kong has called a Prime Video chef drama unappetising, and the lead actor unbearable. The matter is now before this desk.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe drama is Final Table, with Ahn Hyo-seop and Hong Hwa-yeon, and the South China Morning Post is the one calling it lacklustre.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt is a romantic comedy about chefs.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA romantic comedy. Set in a kitchen. With a review that uses the word unbearable. I want that on the record.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, it's a review, not a recall notice.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe show's Nielsen rating in South Korea is two point four percent, and I'd call that an early-stage audience.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwo point four percent. Of a country. Watching a man chop an onion with hatred.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNobody said hatred.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHis character is a chef named Chris K. who lost nothing and gained a rival, Cha Woo-jin, whom he beat six years ago.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGrudges like that don't simmer. They get a twelve-episode order.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd the cast did practical cooking training, JetSet says.

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the performances are authentic, and the reviewer simply wasn't ready for that much commitment to a sauce.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt airs Saturdays and Sundays through the end of November, so I'll be there. I'll bring a fork.
