Production

Want A Taste? was initially planned as an evening daily drama, airing Monday to Friday 7:20 p.m., replacing Bubbly Lovely in June 2017. It was supposed to feature the reunion of Lee Tae-ran and Ryu Jin 17 years after they starred in weekend drama More Than Love; they would have been cast together with Shim Ji-ho, Han Bo-reum, and Hwang Ji-hyun in the roles of Kang Hae-jin, Oh Dae-gu, Lee Jin-sang, Jung Joo-ri and Bae Yoo-ram, respectively. However, due to the financial losses and the low ratings of You Are a Gift and Bubbly Lovely, SBS decided to cancel the timeslot. It was revived as a morning daily drama airing Monday to Friday 8:35 a.m. more than two years later, with Kim Do-hyun still being the writer but with the cast being totally replaced.
