Delicious Destiny

It was fun at times and other times it somewhere dragged. If you are into the corporate backstabbing/ relationship drama this one is a must watch. The female lead was absolutely adorable and I really loved how she developed over time and grew a backbone that was a force. The male lead was pretty genuine guy who had a passion for his work and for the woman he loved. There were not too many tear jearker moments but there were a few and plenty of moments that will make you giggle a bit. I love the dad and the aunt of the female lead they were so sweet and in sync, it was amazing. 56 episodes, though. That alone says it all. This was like a mini soap opera, but I was descent. I would recommend this as a filler while you’re waiting on a new show or episodes for the more exciting series that you may be watching or anticipating.

The downside to this for me was:
#1 this series has an extremely jealous female in it and I don’t mean plain jealous I mean the one that I will go to any lengths to get the person that she wants that has no interest in her. It teeters on the line of obsession. I really dislike watching series that have supremely desperate females. They border clinically insane and severe denial.
#2 self sacrificing that brings more harm than good.
#3 dislike secrets that drag on tooo long. My thoughts stay on the moment of revelation.

If the second female lead was less clingy and desperate it would’ve been a little more pleasant

You can’t expect worst than this drama

After watching 8 episodes I decided to drop out this drama but my worst fate make me continue to watch this thinking that it get better but oh my god, this becomes worst and worst, if you want to become sadistic you can try this drama.
I have watched till 21 episodes but what I found is the title of this drama and the story are completely opposite. Instead of that they could have named it as meaningless destiny or destinyless destiny. Whole 21 episodes same thing is repeating and repeating, in some drama in 21 episodes almost it comes to conclude of the story but in this drama even not 10% story moved, but I don’t know in the future episodes is there any story or not, or only repeating the same scenes again.
In 21 episodes ML confessed 3 times and he got rejected all the times, yet he shamelessly shows his face. FL is the most annoying one, more than annoying I must say psycho character because FL couldn’t accept his feelings and ML couldn’t maintain his distance from her, each time he says he will not disturb or annoy her with his presence but in the next scene he shows and again telling the same thing.
In this 21st century I really got shocked seeing this kind psycho annoying dramas.
I think only the Chinese director’s can show this much shameless, brainless jerky ML character. I think in all dramas except the title and few scripts everything they do copy paste of old dramas.
Same ML and FL characterization, cold shameless, dual personality ML and dumb brainless, courtesy less FL.
It is same in maximum all dramas, initially the ML is so mature with high IQ, EQ and dignified but when FL enters his IQ and EQ drops suddenly and he will become shameless, undignified jerk, and FL she is good to everyone but the ML. How much the FL insults, scolds and sometimes even slapped the ML publicly, in the next second the ML again ran into FL shameless.
I don’t know when these Chinese directors change their style or adopt different ML character.

É muito bom, recomendo.

Sou uma lakorzera raiz, entre os que vi e os futuros somam mais de 100. Porém, abri exceção para este C-Drama pelo fator "Mike Angelo". E, sem arrependimento. Embora os 56 episódios, às vezes, são lentos e um pouco repetitivos, sem dúvida é um drama que vale ser visto. E é um recheio de lágrimas, doenças, enganos, vilões, alguma felicidade e final satisfatório. Mike Angelo é um espetáculo, hipnotiza quando está em cena. Todos no elenco são muito bons e dá muita raiva dos bonitos, limpos e malvados. A vovò da Yilan é de arrepiar. A prota feminina é doce, sem ser enjoativa. Tem ternura, mas tem firmeza. Renderia um plot mais robusto, mas, sinceramente? Tudo funciona, tudo é delicioso de ver. Cenários grandes, luxuosos. Comida bonita quando cozinham, vários casais, diversas interações, alguma comédia. A cena do terceiro pedido de casamento foi linda no episódio 54. Único item que não gostei foi o figurino da Jiaming.

Beaucoup de potentiel, joli couple, mais overdose de mélo

Romance entre chef réputé et cuisinière "don du ciel". J'aime beaucoup les 2 leads mais 56 épisodes de conflits, twists, tricks, avec filles abandonnées, enfants illégitimes, vengeance pour concurrence économique et "great villains" machiavéliques (trop !!) & tenaces.

Ce drama avait beaucoup de potentiel : bon plot, super casting, alchimie au sein du CL, réalisation convenable, etc. Mais tout est gâché par l'écriture ! Le screenwriter a voulu faire dans le mélo, mais il en a fait TROP. Au bout d'un certain temps, l'attention décroche par une overdose de mélo !!

Je suis allée au bout par curiosité, mais avec beaucoup de zapping...
