A Hint Of You (美味的想念) Ep 41 recap

As continuation to the previous episode, Huai An wake up from his hangover in an unfamiliar room which have a photo of a girl name Christine.

Tian Hao come to Qing you house bearing some gift that the uncle like the most, the fish floss. Uncle find the situation awkward as Tian Hao is till being so good to them, and Tian Hao guess that the uncle feels bad because he can't give any help to Tian Hao in pursuing Qing you. Tian Hao told uncle that he will wait for Qing You after she have finished studying and excel in cooking. But uncle told Tian Hao that he feels bad about him waiting for Qing you dumbly and uncle spill the beans about Qing You is now in a relationship with Zai Yu. And uncle also hope that he will not breakdown from the news as they are still very young.

Tian Hao go for a ride but somehow end up passing by Hana. Qing You calls him and he congratulate her for being in relationship as there is someone who will look over her, makes her happy and this is what he hope the most for. Qing you says that she is very sorry for not telling him, but it is just that she did not know how to tell them. Tian Hao told her not to be sorry as he just hope she just be happy as he shed a tears.

As they are parting Tian Hao just told Qing You that just because she is in relationship now she should not forget this (Tian Hao) best buddy. And to bring Zai Yu to his Love Cafe.

Inside Hana kitchen, Qing You is not at heart and Zai Yu notice it. Thus he move his chopping board across Qing You. Qing You told Zai Yu not to do that or else she won't be able to concentrate but Zai Yu reply her that I can watch you but still concentrate on what I am doing.. *awww*
Finally, Qing You told Zai Yu about Tian Hao and she feels wrong because Tian Hao know the metter from Uncle not from her as they are best friend. Zai Yu told her that she did not have to feel wrong as feelings cannot be determined and by Tian Hao congratulating them that means that Tian Hao have think open minded and Qing You do not have to care as she only have one heart and that one heart can only care about a person which is me (Zai Yu). and then Qing You told him that he's very jealous type and person and since Qing You know that Zai Yu is a bit mad at her she offer a series of things that she's willing to do: 1. buy him lunch/dinner 2. cleaning his office 3. accompany him to anywhere and he give in to the last option.. hehe

 

Zai Yu is very good in utilising the situation they end up eating, drinking coffee and went to the mall. Lastly he asked her what she wants and she list all kinds of things that got to do with foods but Zai Yu told her that he gonna gift her gift that a boyfriend usually give to his girlfriend "PERFUME". While picking the perfume and have some skin-ship, Song Yu Xin (Cindy Song) watch and throw a fit. (ps: Yu Xin and Zai Yu, best friend since small and Yu Xin have a crush on Zai yu). Yu Xin went home and throw a fit at her step mom/ Man Wan Ayi (Fan Wen Lin) for letting this all happened e.g.: letting Qing You enter Hana, etc,. Asking her why she did that, is it because Yu xin herself never respect her and asked her stepmom if she is happy now as she have nothing left? and Stepmom told her that this thing could not happened they must have come into some misunderstanding as she believe that Qing You will not lie to her. Yu Xin asked her is wether she is her daughter or Qing You is her daughter?

Zai Yu hold Qing You as they walk out from Hana and Qing You speaks her mind and protest about the action. But Zai Yu said that he might be the head chef at Hana but outside he is Zai Yu and also Qing You boyfriend.They BAM into Man Wan Ayi, greeting her but she's not happy at all and they both quickly pull her hand away. Both Man Wan Ayi and Qing You end up having a walk at the park. Man Wan Ayi question Qing You so on and so for but Qing you says that that they when she told her that enter Hana is to learn to cook and will not fall in love with Zai Yu she reply those genuinely and never think that there will be today with Zai Yu. Qing You told Man Wan Ayi that through these period of time their memories become very precious and when she told her that time that she will not fall in love with Zai Yu because she have not understand what she wanted and what kind of person Zai yu is. And since now she have figure it out she did not want to loose him anymore (heart attack events).

Man Wan Ayi asked Qing You why Yu Xin can become a heart doctor and told her that that year when Yu Xin was 6yrs old she recognise Zai Yu, thus have only love him and all the effort Yu Xin put is just for Zai Yu. Man Wan Ayi asked Qing You is it fair for Yu Xin, that Yu Xin 20yrs love for Zai yu compared to a few months of Qing You? Qing You reply that she just did not know that Yu Xin love for Zai yu is that deep. and Man Wan Ayi told her that she wish Qing You to be happy but putting down the love away that is a few mere months is easier rather than love that have been for 20years. and ask a favour that Qing You will give a change for Yu Xin to believe in love by leaving Zai Yu.

Qing You get questioned by Zai Yu directly as he realised that her eye turn a bit red. and Zai Yu asked: is it regarding our relationship or is it something to do with Yu Xin. Qing You say no to all and Zai yu demand to know what happened and well he get disturbed by work.

To A&H architecture firm office, Huai An receive text message from Yi Huan. and well some how Huai An got an invitation to meet GM of a company and it turn out to be the earlier girl, Rebecca. Rebecca ask how much he drank that day that he can be so drunk and he say that well you drink is to forget what happened right? Long story short Huai an got a challenge to finished three bottle of different alcholic drink and still be able to walk straight then he got the case. 

Back to Hana, Qing You is left alone to clean up and Zai Yu come over and asked what has happend and she called him head chef and Zai Yu reply her not head chef anymore but your Zai Yu. Zai Yu demand and answer for what happen with her today and told her that even chef have to believe in each other so did lovers, in fact they need more. Qing You told him that she is just afraid that being together is the right or wrong choice. Zai Yu demand to know who think that they being together is the wrong choice. well thank's god Zai Yu got a brain to think that it must have sth to do with Yu Xin. Qing You said that she feel bad for Yu Xin for snatching Zai Yu away  from her and Zai Yu told her that he never been Yu Xin and he is the one that chooses Qing You. and he told her that love cannot be forced just like Qing You can't fall in love with Tian Hao. Zai Yu also told her that they have know each other for 20yrs if he want to fall in love with her then he will have done it a long time ago, and since now he's with Qing You don't care about what other think, unless Qing You want to breakup with him. WELL Qing You say no to the idea. Zai Yu told her that Yu Xin matter he will have them sort it out.

A Hint Of You (美味的想念)

A hint of you is a Taiwanese drama that air from monday-thursday at 21:00 local time.

These drama revolves around food and two groups each consist of two male and one female.
For me I like to divide this drama into like two story..

The main story of course is about our main OTP.
Fu Zai Yu (Michael Zhang) is the head chef of a well known restaurant in Taiwan. Xia Qing You (Gina Lee) just a normal girl but want to learn how to become a chef like her father from Zai Yu, since both of her parents assumed to be dead from a car accident. Sun Tian Hao (Jay Shih) owner of Love Cafe, also Qing You best friend. So basically Zai Yu did have some conflict with Qing You at the start of the drama and over time they did develop their feeling for each other, and Tian Hao whom Qing You think as a best friend turns out to have a crush on her.

The second story
Du Huai An (Danson Tang) an architect and owner of A&H architect firm. Xia Yi Huan (Yin Fu), Xia Qing You cousin. Yi Huan and Huai an have been together for almost 8 years. Du Zhen Ya (Chang Han) STG general manager, a company where Huai An used to work for after he open A&H architect firm. Zhen Ya may have fallen for Yi Huan charm as she is willing to do anything in the name of love, which remind him of what he used to be.
