That got me to wondering if there's ever been a dorama where the setting was a cooking show. I would think that the many dynamics of such a show like Dotch would lend themselves to some interesting story lines. You've got a competition format, celebrity judges, quarreling co-hosts, and dueling chefs. Then throw in all the behind-the-scenes people--producers, directors, reporters, etc.--and all those people who are interviewed and featured on each show, and you should have enough material to come up with some interesting stories. And let's not forget the most important ingredient of all--food, a subject that is near and dear to most people.
Check the Drama forum: I think there's a thread about cooking-related dramas like Shota non Sushi... :)
