love in taipei
2023
/
a weak adaptation that loses much of the charm that made the adapted book, loveboat taipei, endearing in its setting (for whatever it lacked in good characters)

eat (taste) the rich, it’s on the menu. takes the fussy, overcomplicated setting of an elevated tasting menu and farms its guests for the table. the characters aren’t particularly developed, but they fill in nicely within the seating chart.
