Personal Taste is a Korean drama that premiered in 2010 and starred Lee Min-ho as the main character. The drama was adapted from a novel of the same name and consists of 16 episodes. The story revolves around three main characters: Jeon Jin Ho (played by Lee Min-ho), Park Kae-in (played by Son Ye-jin), and Han Chang-ryul (played by Kim Ji-seok). Jeon Jin Ho is a young and successful architect who is in search of a new project to boost his career. He hears about a potential project that involves renovating a traditional Korean house, which belongs to Park Kae-in. Kae-in is a young, struggling furniture designer who is also the daughter of a famous architect. She has just gone through a difficult breakup with her cheating boyfriend, Han Chang-ryul, who also happens to be Jeon Jin Ho's best friend.

Jeon Jin Ho decides to infiltrate Kae-in's life by pretending to be gay so that he can get access to her house and use it as a showcase for his design skills. Kae-in, who is openly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, accepts him as her new roommate, and the two begin to form a close friendship. However, as they spend more time together, Kae-in starts to develop feelings for Jin Ho, who is still pretending to be gay.

From then on, the story follows the ups and downs of their complicated relationship, as well as the struggles they face in their personal and professional lives. Kae-in is dealing with the aftermath of her breakup with Chang-ryul and trying to establish her own furniture line while Jin Ho is struggling to gain recognition as an architect and prove himself to his father, who is also an architect.

Aside from the main storyline, the show also explores themes of family, friendship, and self-discovery. Jin Ho's relationship with his father is a significant aspect of the show, as he strives to gain his father's approval and respect. Kae-in's relationship with her father is also explored, as she discovers a long-hidden secret about her family that causes her to reevaluate her relationships and past experiences.

The secondary characters in the show provide comic relief and also contribute to the development of the main characters. Jin Ho's assistant, Kim In-hee (played by Wang Ji-hye), and Kae-in's best friend, Kim Tae-hoon (played by Ryu Seung-ryong), provide some comedic moments as they try to navigate their own love lives.

The setting of the show is also noteworthy, as it takes place in a beautifully renovated traditional Korean house. The interior design and architecture of the house are showcased throughout the show, making it an aesthetically pleasing backdrop for the story.

Overall, Personal Taste is a heartwarming and engaging romantic comedy that explores complex relationships and themes in a lighthearted and entertaining way. Lee Min-ho's performance as Jeon Jin Ho is charming and endearing, and his chemistry with Son Ye-jin as Park Kae-in is palpable. The show also boasts a talented supporting cast and a captivating storyline that keeps viewers entertained and invested from start to finish.

Personal Taste is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (16 episodes). The series first aired on March 31, 2010.
