The first 1/3rd of the drama kind of felt like a prologue to the second half because the second half felt like the main story. I liked the organization of this drama and the romance developed between the leads felt subtle, smooth, and not deliberate.The drama started with a competition and the drama ends with a competition, wrapping up the drama very well with no loose ends. The drama was extended and though the extension prolonged the inevitable ending, it gave more time to fully explore the students' romantic relationships. Thus, I thought the extension did more good than bad. Most of this drama focused on the development of the romance between the leads, the daily obstacles of high school life as a high school student, and the complications that go with being a teacher/high schooler.
I seriously loved the cast. There was no annoying antagonist at all, no revenge plot, barely any love triangles, and no disapproving parents. Nita Lei was amazing in this drama; she is the best friend I never had-crazy, hilarious, and caring. Huge props to her acting. What made this drama shine were the student storylines and of course Lego's fantastic portrayal as a teacher. Han Jie (Lego) drastically changed after meeting Xiao Rou (Allison Lin. Xiao Rou also changed after being with Han Jie. Their love for one another made them change for one another.
Soundtrack was fabulous-the songs were so catchy and appropriately used.
I definitely recommend this drama. There's barely any angst in Love Cuisine so it's a very light-hearted drama that's easy to watch. I think a lot of people didn't enjoy this drama as much as I did because the problems/obstacles felt trivial since there's no love triangles/vindictive antagonists so it became boring. However, that's what made Love Cuisine so easy to watch! If you want to laugh in every episode, watch this! (9/8.5)

Plot/story: -8.5- Right from the beginning, the story hooked me. Literally... (you will get the pun when you see the beginning hehe) The main characters in the first few episodes already have their special/cute moments that strengthen their relationship throughout the drama. I love how the story goes with the flow in every episode... until the very end. I STRONGLY DISLIKED THE ENDING! It was so abrupt! It could have been way cuter on Han Jie's (Lego Lee) side. The production could have told the viewers how Han Jie and Fang Xiao Rou's life after the students graduated or where they went or what they did! There were soooooo many cliffhangers that could have been fixed and would make the ending an actual ending. The whole drama was great, except the ending.
Acting/cast: -10- Perfect cast for this drama! All the characters' personalities were on point and I couldn't asked for a better cast. Lego Lee played Han Jie so well! Like holy cow! He is so into his character that it was so cute watching him chase after Fang XIao Rou (Allison Lin) and then him being chased by Fang Xiao Rou later in the drama. Same goes with Allison Lin playing Fang Xiao Rou. Her innocence in Love Cuisine was so adorable to watch and it definitely kept me hooked to watch these two characters get to know each other throughout the drama. All the students, whom I believe are relatively new in the acting world, played their parts really well! They sparks between the students' relationships were just perfect and really ties this whole drama together. (Especially with Wan Mai Zhi and Wei Qi Zhen)
Music: -9- Very catchy and well used in this drama though sometimes they can be overplayed between the breaks.
Rewatch Value: -10- Well, considering that I have already rewatched this drama 5+ times and am still in love with it, for me it's a 10 score.
Overall: -9.5- It was near perfect!!!!! But sadly the ending was a bit of a downhill. For anyone who likes cute, but now too over the top, food related, school drama or wants to watch a simple drama, this drama is perfect for you!
HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THIS DRAMA AS MUCH AS I DID!!!
Chào for Now!

there will be a lot of couple in this drama..but i won't say who'll end up with whom..that'll ruined the fun..however i do felt a bit of disappointed with ending of one couple here..not the main characters of course..bcause i really love the chemistry between HanJie and FangXiaoRou(not sure if i spell correctly)..but still, it is a pity that they didn't show a bit of their marriage life in the drama..that will make the ending sweet and cute isn't it ?
overall i love the story line..except the fact that female lead is a bit stupid and kept having her own thought which lead to misunderstanding..which is i really hate that part..even i do think that what makes the Fang Xiou Rou look soo cute...haha ok, except that particular female lead fact..i love how the story is soo fast moving without any misunderstanding or problems that dragged to 3 or 4 episodes like others drama..
i really2 love the ost..especially the BII song and the ending theme sing by ROSSIE(and the other guy..don't remember)..i always be a BII fan.. but this drama make the song even better..so if you want to know what i mean..you have to watch the drama and listen to the ost and you'll see that the ost fit perfectly..!!
i know some of you like BROMANCE better..but for me, i'll delete bromance already and will keep re-watch LOVE CUISINE since this drama gave you a pure, innocent and sweet love story that will remind you of your first puppy love..hahaha
bdw..does anyone know what happen to the last class on 8 January that they mention in the last episode...?? i try to find it..but nothing been found though..

one of the best storyboards in 2015.
Maybe because Love cuisine was one of the first drama I watched, and so I'm attached to it, but frankly the storyboard is very interesting, especially in 2015. I'm not going to lie about the fact that the main character was not necessarily very smart and very naive, and that the first 12 episodes were much too slow and without real goal (always stuck on the same problem and it became boring.). But frankly the students are so endearing and funny. especially when Wei Qi Zhen arrived. a big crush for this actress, she is so cute :(!Was this review helpful to you?

Mostly light hearted drama without an abundance melodrama but Rushed ending
I do really love this drama & I thought the Lead actors are great. I liked that it was a mostly light hearted drama without an abundance melodrama (it was nice that the crying & wailing were minimal.)There are a fair amount of obstacles thrown in the path of love, they are mostly dumb obstacles .It was a bit sad that the female lead was made to look so dowdy & was not dressed or styled attractively, but they do make a point that the male lead does not fall for her because of her looks. .
I didn't give this a perfect score because :
1) Female lead's BFF was annoying & dirty minded
2) The athletic director was more grating than funny.
3) It got a bit too cutesy about 1/2 way through.
4) 3/4 of the way through they teased a possible love triangle with a gay character which was oddly timed & placed.
5) the way the end was handled
6) music was super annoying because they just didn't have much variety but played the same songs over & over.
5 different romances were resolved in the course of the drama but the satisfaction is dulled by the amount of time it takes to get to the end. AND, the happy ending comes in a rush [in the last 5 minutes] for the couple you care about the most.
Amazon has 22 episodes, but Net Flix has 36 episodes so not sure what that's all about but 36 episodes was really too much & dulls your enthusiasm as you slog through the insipid scenes with the "relief" humor which is neither a relief or funny.

thank you bii my dearly beloved
watched it with my grandmother and auntie, my auntie definitely has a crush on han jie lmao. watched it entirely because the theme ost was love more by bii whom i love and adore so dearly. it was very cute and sweet and i need to rewatch, i was also a big fan of the students plotting to get han jie and xiaorou together, and i did quite like the little side romance they had going on. the world of this drama felt very fleshed out and real because of that, and i love love when the world of a drama feels lived in.Was this review helpful to you?
