On the May 29 episode of the tvN variety show, "Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village," Park Shin Hye and Taecyeon make radish kimchee, share mojitos and prove that they would make a great "We Got Married" couple. Park Shin Hye received praise from critics and viewers for the culinary skills she displayed during the episode. She prepared beef shabu shabu for the cast, describing the dish like a host on a food program.
Lee Seo Jin, a regular cast member on the show, immediately complimented her dish. "I didn't know a Japanese hot pot could be so delicious," said Lee.
Viewers also responded positively to her image on the show. According to Netizen Buzz, a trending comment praised the "Pinocchio" star for her effortless skill. "The way she brings her fingers in when cutting up food and how she knows how to make the different seasonings makes her look like a pro," said the unnamed commenter.
During her guest appearance on the show, she has also received attention for her adorable interactions with 2PM's Taecyeon. Taecyeon is a permanent cast member on the show and has appeared on the Global Edition of "We Got Married." However, his chemistry and banter with Park has exceeded expectations.
