Personal Taste is a South Korean drama that follows the story of Jeon Jin Ho, an ambitious young architect. Jin Ho is determined to win a competition to design an art museum, but in order to do so, he must first win the favor of the judge, the wealthy heiress Park Kae In. However, there's a catch - Kae In only likes gay men. So, Jin Ho decides to pretend to be gay in order to get close to her and win the competition.
Episode 2 begins with Jin Ho moving into Kae In's house as her new roommate. He's still pretending to be gay and is trying to fit in with her and her friends, who are all very flamboyant and eccentric. However, he's having a hard time keeping up the act and is often caught off guard by their behavior.
Kae In is excited to have a new gay roommate and is anxious to show Jin Ho around the house. She takes him on a tour and shows him the various pieces of furniture and decorations that she's collected over the years. Jin Ho is secretly horrified by her taste and can't believe how tacky and outdated everything is.
As they're walking through the house, Kae In tells Jin Ho that she's been looking for a new guy to date. She's been unlucky in love and is hoping that Jin Ho can help her find someone. Jin Ho is caught off guard by this and is unsure of how to respond. He knows that he needs to keep the charade going, but he's not sure how to help Kae In without giving himself away.
Later, Jin Ho meets up with his friend Sang Joon, who is a real estate agent. Sang Joon is surprised to hear that Jin Ho is still pretending to be gay and warns him that it's a dangerous game to play. However, Jin Ho is determined to win the competition and will do whatever it takes to succeed.
The next day, Jin Ho accompanies Kae In to an art exhibition. Kae In is excited to show off her new gay best friend and introduces him to everyone she knows. However, things take a turn for the worse when Jin Ho runs into an old flame - In Hee. In Hee is a beautiful young woman who Jin Ho used to date and she's shocked to see him pretending to be gay. Jin Ho tries to play it cool, but In Hee can see right through him and starts to suspect that something is off.
As the episode comes to a close, Jin Ho is forced to confront In Hee about his sexuality. He tells her that he's pretending to be gay in order to win the competition and asks her to keep it a secret. In Hee agrees to keep quiet, but warns Jin Ho that he's playing a dangerous game and could get hurt.
Overall, Episode 2 of Personal Taste is a fun and engaging continuation of the story. We see Jin Ho struggling to keep up with the act and trying to balance his feelings for Kae In with the competition he's trying to win.
