Eating Existence (2015)
Yoo Yang faces daily challenges working in customer service and tries to make it through each day without too many scars. She’s a part of the so-called Sampo Generation, a new generation of young professionals who eschews courtship, marriage and childbirth because of the tremendous social and economic pressures facing them. Yang instead takes great delight in food and loves to go around to find and eat great food. But when Yang meets the devilishly good-looking Park Byeong, who shares her attitude and also inexplicably finds her irresistible, will her attitudes about life and love change?

Season 1:
To your department manager who has been pestering you all day, Miss Yu says: "You idiot, back off and stuff your face with a ton of these oysters!"
Are you breaking the bank just to have proper meals? Miss Yu says: "Even a plateful of stir-fried rice cake is best enjoyed when shared with a buddy!"
Haunted by a failed relationship? Miss Yu says: "To remember a past relationship as a beautiful one is harder than to stop eating a cake halfway.”
After a drinking party, you wake up in a stranger’s place. Confused and embarrassed? Miss Yu says: "You’ve won the lottery. Don’t miss the chance!”
Feel like the most pathetic person in the world? Miss Yu says: "You're like a hot pot, which makes everything tasty once the soup starts boiling!"
Bothered because your friend's boyfriend isn’t good enough for her? Miss Yu says: "Love has no answers, no rules. Let individual tastes be respected!"
Miss Yu says: "Your boyfriend isn't just any old cup of noodles from a convenience store; he's more like a precious bowl of spicy fish roe soup.”
Is your boyfriend not as passionate as he used to be? Miss Yu says: "Your love is like sweet and sour chicken; it's good when it's cold too!"
Have you been holding back your anger toward someone? Miss Yu says: "Look at him closely. You’ll see that he eats therefore he is -- just like you."
Bittersweet is the taste of our life. Today again, I eat therefore I am.
