Jang Geun Suk's ribs eating made viewers laugh.
On the episode of KBS2 Wednesday/Tuesday drama "Bel Ami" (script Yoo Young Ah, director Lee Jae Sang, Jung Jung Hwa) broadcast on November 20th, Dok Ko Ma Tae (played by Jang Geun Suk) started to eat galbi (ribs) at the restaurant that Kim Bo Tong (played by IU) and her mom (played by Lee Mi Young) owned.
Bo Tong was dozing off on the bus and sees Ma Tae, whom she falls in love with at first sight. She keeps on thinking of Ma Tae when she comes home. At this time, her mother came and woke up San Tong. Bo Tong starts to get upset at her mother who asks her to help her work and she comes to the store. Bo Tong was surprised that the customer was Ma Tae and Ma Tae's mother Mi Sook (played by Yang Mi Kyung).
Ma Tae didn't even look at Bo Tong who felt this way and started to complain to Mi Sook for bringing him to a rib house saying, "You know I'm a vegetarian." Hearing Ma Tae's worse, Bo Tong said that she would bring lettuce and bitter leaves and started acting too drastically. Ma Tae got rid of Bo Tong who was bothering him and said, "It's only polite to try a little" and had a bite of meat.
After trying a piece of meat, he started to eat these ribs as if he was lying when he said he was a vegetarian just moments ago. On one hand he was biting into the ribs and in the other he was trying to maintain his elegance and this made viewers laugh. After a while, there were a ton of bones in front of Ma Tae.
Meanwhile, "Bel Ami" is about a Bel Ami Dok Ko Ma Tae who has crazy great looks and charisma who gets the hearts of the ten successful women in Korea in the top 1% and matures into a "Bel Ami" through the know-how that they give him. This process will be shown throughout the drama. The original piece was in a comic by Chun Kye Young with the same title. The first episode had 6.3% in ratings (Neilsen Korea).
