Of course, it can be argued that the difference in ambience or atmosphere could be also due to the season. Ara came during early winter when there was barely anything on the ground and everything looked kind of depressing.
PSH came during spring time when the mood was much lighter and the plants have kind of grown a bit. She was fortunate to have tasted the strawberries.

With Go Ara, he was shy and very courteous, like he did not immediately talk to her and just focused his attention in grilling the seaweeds. While in the case of Shin Hye, he tried to look for connection thus he immediately reminded her that together they served as MC before which Shin Hye also quickly acknowledged.
With Shin Hye, Taec sort of proudly given her the tour of the house and remember even pointed out about the room where she would be staying and even helped her get rid of the bee.
With Ara, Taec patiently taught her how to grill the veggies and she just assisted in cooking the chicken. With Shin Hye, Taec was so willing to assist her while she's cooking : he assisted her in getting the onion leeks ( not sure) for the fried rice ( come on, does it really take two people to gather those) and never left her side while cooking the fried rice in case she needed something for him to do. That was also the time he learned to use two hands in mixing food
For the shabu2 part, Taec was again always near Shin Hye. When she was gathering the vegetables for the recipe, Taec came near her and said "shabu -shabu" which she answered with "yes, customer" . He came near her I think to check whether she was okay while picking the vegetables and also because it was already dark in that part and it was raining. He did that even when he knew the camera crew and PD Na would be there to shoot her actions.
When the cooking started, Taec was again beside her, helping her to get cooking utensils, cut the veggies and even beating the eggs. He was even asking questions about the cooking process.
For her second guesting, you can tell that Taec really cares for Shin Hye when he kept telling Shin Hye to take care of her hand when she was about to use the grater and then insisted for her to wear a glove so as not to hurt herself, perhaps KKK could not take Taec's too many cautions to Shin Hye that he decided to take the radish from her hands and grate it himself
