In US media is very common to have a character take a single bite to the food, then run away. I dunno why, but I hate that. In Korean tv the characters are always eating, full bites, empty glasses, etc. I love it.
- astrange 3y agoIt's hard to film an eating scene. You can only do so many takes, the actors don't want to get full, and the food looks better if it's fake.

- Animats 3y agoI'm currently struggling through "Our Glamorous Time", which is about the modern fashion industry in mainland China. There are several romances, and the romantic scenes mostly involve food. Business dinners are a big thing. The social scenes involve food buffets. Everybody is thin, except one bad guy, and he gets shot. (There's no sex. Not even close. This stuff is heavily censored and has blatant propaganda about the Belt and Road Initiative and the COMAC airliner. The feeling I get is that the writers have certain boxes to check to get past the censors, and once they do that, they can make entertainment. As long as they stay away from the no-go areas. There used to be junk such as "Sky Fighters", a Top Gun movie clone made by a film unit of the PLA. That was so awful that the PLA stopped trying to make entertainment. More than half the Chinese dramas today are historical costume epics, which don't get censored so much. If you like that sort of thing, watch "Princess Agents", which is perhaps the best of that genre.)
