Seeing someone eating something delicious can really make the cravings hit hard, right? Watching K-dramas or K-films while the characters are eating is no exception and often leaves us wanting to pig out on what the onscreen characters are enjoying too.
Here’s five things we always crave whenever we watch our favorite Korean dramas or movies! Which one of these do you crave the most?
1- Ramen
Almost all Korean dramas and movies have a scene where the characters will cook and eat ramen (also spelled ramyun). It is one of the easiest foods to cook, so it is a must-try food when you are really hungry. It’s also easy to get since any Korean convenience store or even regular grocery store that you pass will have a lot of stock available there.
2- Tteokboki
If you like spicy food, you will probably like this dish as well! Tteokboki is a spicy rice cake and is one of the favorite snacks among all Korean.
3- Chicken
Who doesn’t love chicken? This is one of the most-loved food by the kids and is also famous among adults for being a great food to eat with a glass of beer. Chances are you have seen your favorite K-drama characters indulging in some chimaek (chicken and beer).
4- Soju
If you’ve already reached the legal drinking age, then you would probably enjoy chicken with this drink! Soju is a popular alcoholic drink in Korea and has a high alcohol content. The drink comes in a ton of variety and flavors as well— raspberry, pineapple, peach, and more! Just be careful, because this drink packs a punch!
5-Samgyeopsal
Koreans love to eat this food! At a variety of gatherings, it seems the first thing to pop in their mind to eat is samgyeopsal. This is a thinly sliced, grilled pork belly that is best partnered with lettuce. It can also be a perfect combination with soju!
