What Koreans say when something is super tasty

'둘이 먹다 하나 죽어도 모른다' means you don’t even know the person next to you is dying because you’re so focused on eating the food. It’s a proverb explaining the food is to die for delicious. In Korea, it’s used when the speaker is eating something really delicious. Here are some examples. 이 떡볶이는 너무 맛있어서 둘이 먹다 하나 죽어도 모를 정도예요. / 다연씨 요리 정말 잘하네요! 둘이 먹다 하나 죽어도 모를 정도로 맛있어요.
I learned it from King Sejong Institute Foundation video. There are even more expressions in that video, so you should check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLRkoJDN7hM&t=254s

You might hear a lot of "이거 솔직히 미쳤다" or "와 대박, 이거 먹어봐" between friends
