Nowadays, everything is about muk-bang, kukbang, and cuisine wherever you go.

The current generation seems to be extremely enthusiastic about food.

Even in webtoons, the themes of cooking are still hot.

There were a lot of webtoons on cooking and Cooking Guy that has started not long ago also tells the story of a male cook as the title suggests.

In fact, though it is not easy to convey a food in a drawing, Cooking Guy cleverly adds an explanation to the illustrations to deliciously express the process of cooking until it's completion, stimulating the reader's appetite.

 

Go-Seob, the man who cooks as the webtoon's title implies, is a rare young man who prefers to take things slowly and step by step, as opposed to the modern people who live fast.

 

On the contrary, Sera, the female protagonist is depicted as an impatient, clumsy woman who screams to make things quickly like instant foods.

The two people, who may seem to bear a weird resemblance, yet, totally opposite in essence, accidentally get to eat dinner together and slowly start to affect each other.

Although each of them has their own pains, it is heartwarming to see them overcome such pasts by cooking.

As the meals are made together by Go-Seob who insists on traditional and slow methods and Sera who particularly loves instant foods, they provided more time for Go-Seob and Sera to get closer.

  

The webtoon shows the common love relationship between man and woman, in which they misunderstand the other person as an unwelcome guest visits the main characters due to their entangled past in a time when they were busy just getting to know each other.

As the obstacles that one must go through in the process of building a relationship are being unfolded in front of their eyes, the readers would have to see if the main characters would be able to get back to their sweet relationship like before even though they have expressed their minds through foods and cooking until now.

 

There are many webtoons based on foods.

Some of the famous titles have already been completed and many others are still running.

 

Among them, it is worth paying attention to Cooking Guy because the cooking process and the philosophy of cooking are conveyed through the main character.

It is easily expected that the author too would have a degree of knowledge in cooking. The author himself cooks the foods that are depicted in every episode and attach the photos on his own blog.

The readers may be amazed at how much they look similar to the illustrations as drawn in the webtoon.

Progressing the narrative by dealing with the elements of romance itself is not easy. Therefore, it is indeed admirable to watch the author managing to portray the cooking process and the foods along with the narrative.

Cooking Guy is a webtoon that warms the reader's heart in many ways by showing the cooking episodes which serve as side dishes to the well-made main menu of the love story.

It is a title that makes the readers care about the past wounds that are held by the two main characters, which are yet to be revealed, and root for their future love and growth story.
