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 star Lee Tae-ran, Ryu Jin, Shim Ji-ho, Han Bo-reum, and Hwang Ji-hyun in the roles of Kang Hae-jin (Shim Yi-young), Oh Dae-gu (Seo Do-young), Lee Jin-sang (Seo Ha-joon), Jung Joo-ri (Han Ga-rim) and Bae Yoo-ram (Lee Seul-ah), respectively. However, due to the financial losses and the low ratings of You Are a Gift and Bubbly Lovely (average of 7.6% and 7.8%, respectively), SBS decided to cancel the timeslot.[3] 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.
