so essentially 难 is the opposite of 好 in the (adverb + verb = adjective) construct?
好看 -> attractive, 难看, ugly
好听 -> pleasant to hear, 难听, unpleasant to hear
can we then infer
好吃 or 好喝-> tasty, 难吃 or 难喝 unpleasant-tasting?

(I can, should, and did ask a dictionary and yes, yes we can infer that, there seem to be many cases of this usage.)
