Cinderella Chef (2018)

I like how the female lead time travels not to the usual palace settings, but to a bandit tribe. I also admire her for not conforming to her new surroundings as she continues to be her modern self, unlike other series. I just really like Ye Jia Yao because she's funny, witty and realistic, instead of the usual whiny and weak female lead. Even though she doesn't know martial arts, she survives pretty well due to her culinary skills.

That said, I also like the male lead. Like some characters in the series, there seem to be many "layers" to Xia Chun Yu. You just gotta keep watching to discover another side of him, which adds to the mystery of the entire story. The supporting characters and their respective stories are just as nice, as they compliment the main plot.

However, it does get a bit draggy towards the end... Regardless, I'd still recommend watching it if you're looking for something that's not too heavy (in terms of content).

This drama is a very good drama, I loved how the main heroine went back in time to make a name for herself. Sense, back in her time nobody was interesting in her cooking. Besides, the romance she was able to accomplish her cooking skill and be next to her man that she fell in love with. The things that I didn't like was that the story did drag in the middle because of some of the unnecessary fighting or misunderstandings which of course I skipped. But the story was good in the end and they both got their happy ending.

I would definitely recommend watching, if you have time sense it is a long drama.
