Mukbang and cooking contents are hot trends anywhere online or offline. 

The generation that’s the most enthusiastic towards food is probably our generation. 

Cooking topic is hot in webtoons as well.

There has been many webtoons about cooking, this new webtoon Cooking Guy is also about a male cook as the title suggests. 

It is definitely not easy to depict cooking through drawings, but added captions under the quality drawings of dishes in this webtoon make readers’ mouths watery.

 

Cooking guy, Gosub likes to take things slowly and patiently take steps. He is a kind of guy who is hard to see these days among modern people who live very fast lives.

 

On the other hand, the female protagonist, Sarah is careless and always in a hurry. They seem to be similar to each other, but they are the complete opposite. They happened to eat a dinner together one day, and they started to influence each other slowly. 

They both have wounds in their hearts, but it is wholesome to see them overcoming these through cooking.

Gosub thinks cooking needs to be traditional and slow. He thinks food that has been put in enough effort can be only called a dish while Sarah loves instant food. They became close together while cooking together. 

  

Due to the convoluted past relationships they have, an uninvited guest came between the two, and misunderstandings happened in the middle of their romance. Even though they had been expressing their loves to each other through cooking and hardships are necessary for a relationship to get stronger, but it requires a little more time to see if they can become romantic as before.

 

There are many webtoons about food.

Among popular food related webtoons, some are finished and some are ongoing.

 

 Among all the food webtoons, Cooking Guy is remarkable because the author’s philosophy on food and cooking shows through the protagonist’s cooking. 

It is possible to guess the author is also an expertise in cooking to some degree. The dishes that the author draws in the webtoon are cooked by him in real-life, so they are uploaded as pictures on the author’s blog. They look the same as it appears in the webtoon, which is surprising. 

Drawing a typical romance webtoon wouldn’t be easy either, but I want to send acclaims to the author's passion to show both romance and cooking. By showing both well-designed romance as a main dish and cooking as a side dish, the author is a cooking guy himself preparing meals for readers. This webtoon is a work that makes readers want to know what are the hidden past scars the protagonists possess and how the romance of the protagonist couple will mature and progress through the end.
