What's the Story?

In LINK: EAT, LOVE, KILL, celebrity chef Eun Gye Hoon (Yeo Jin-goo) has been behaving erratically. He laughs hysterically when serious diners are sitting down to table and cries; his tears splash into intricate sauces. He recognizes that these rogue feelings are similar to those he felt with his twin sister when they were kids. When he crosses paths with a young woman (Moon Ga-young), he feels that pang of recognition again. Could she be his sister?

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say ( 1 ):

Provocative and addictive, this mysterious K-drama teases viewers into gobbling up one episode after another. In Link: Eat, Love, Kill, a grubby corner of Seoul becomes a locus of intrigue that will keep teens on the edge of their seats.

Stalking, abduction, kidnapping, and serial murder are themes, but there's an earnest quality to the main characters that keeps the plot from veering too far into creepy territory. Families with teens who like a little romance with their mystery will enjoy this show the most.
