Binge worthy
*** Binge worthyI've been seeing this series in WeTV but I never clicked on it as I don't wanna watch a food topic series in the moment as I always get hungry and want to eat but I saw the high rating and some clip so I click the ep 1 and Oh My God it took me just a while to finish several episodes. Good thing I have VIP access in WeTV, I cant imagine the frustration if I dont have VIP access.
The story I may say is already a cliché. Rich guy poor girl or boss employee with a witchy mother of the ML.
However, what makes it different is the age gap and the acting of the FL and ML leads. They're chemistry is superb!
I already watched several series of Rosy Zhao so I'm already familiar with her acting so I dont have to search her to look for her other series, but since Im not so familiar with the ML I need to search him to see if there's another series of him that may interest me. Damn he's so good.
The ML's brother is so annoying, gosh! I hate his smile.
All the episodes, are so sweet and romantic except when the brother turned evil. But at the latter part of the series I want to hit Rosy Zhao at the back of her head so she can wake up and see the fakeness of the brother. She's so frustrating at the latter episode. Lin Yu Shen already told her not to get close with his brother but still she didn’t listen.
I'm in episode 24, I just can’t wait to finish the series to make a review.
I'm not yet finish with this series but I already know that I will be watching it again.
I recommended it to my sister last week, and I wanna watch the start again with her while waiting for the last 2 episodes. It only shows how good this series is.

This is a pretty good drama
I have watched many dramas and i have to say this is definitely quite cliché in many ways but I really enjoyed watching it, although it is true the ML was acting really creepy at the fifth episode, I was okay with it. This is probable one of the best dramas i watched with huge age gaps as they can be a very sweet couple and there are many lovely moments, the cooking scenes were also really eye catching . I really dislike the secretary lady though, she is very annoying at times and she is really selfish sometimes, if you rather a drama that is really peaceful and really little drama maybe this wouldn't be for you but i think it is worth watching and definitely a pretty good drama .Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointed
Tried of remakes of same scenarios, and always show weak females who always seem so desperate for a man . Even in this drama FL is younger and more attractive than the ML, but she is still putting up with a lot of crap from him and his secretary. Rather than a young man who clearly seems to care for her without all the baggage , including his domineering mother. Why do they show Chinese women who can’t stand up for themselves and can’t move on when things are not good for them. I starting to leave C dramas, because it’s clear the writers don’t like or respect womenWas this review helpful to you?
Worth Watching If You are Bored To Death
I was doubting at first if I would watch this but eventually I did. I have no regrets as it kept me entertained. The first few episodes were interesting and funny but the story arch goes down as it proceeds. Nevertheless, it's still entertaining and I am not thinking of dropping it very soon unlike the other Chinese dramas I watched and dropped in the middle.The acting was spectacular. This is the first series I saw Rosy and the guy. I would say they caught my attention! I dont mind the age gap cause they f*cking look good together! seriously speaking I love their chemistry.

Another Go To Drama
I am new to Asian Drama and this one has been added to my go to list. I love the build up between the main actors. The comedic parts keeps me laughing. I see similarities in the diff dramas but if the writing, production and actors are good I am going to watch it. I am addicted to watching this drama and I hate that I have to wait several days before I can see the English episodes. But I appreciate that I am able to watch and enjoy the drama with English subtitles. THIS IS A GOOD DRAMA. LOVING IT😁😍. LOOKING FORWARD TO EP6 AND THE OTHERS. SO GOOD. THE COOKING PART IS WONDERFUL AND GREAT ATTENTION GETTER.Was this review helpful to you?
Too silly
ML is way too silly in the way he chases the girl. Sorry I can take it for 1 hr, 2 hr and even 3 hrs. But 9 episodes in, I am sick and tired of his silliness. This is like watching a Stephen Chow movie non-stop for hours and hours. After a way, you just get tired of it.Love the FL. She's like the moon and stars to me.
I was looking through list of other TV shows the FL has done. And sadly, most of them are all silly. I did watch Romance of Tiger and Rose and enjoyed it. Although the end was kind of boring. But I remember it was quite fun and funny.

Sweet and adorable .... not to mention alot of yummy food! :D
This series is absolutely incredibly cute and awesome! Other than the food always making me extremely hungry, the story line is not bad - quite alright actually. And of course.. Zhao Lu Si did a wonderful performance (as usual) with her adorable cheeky and funny ways. Both the Male and Female Lead are quite good together, their chemistry is very nice and sweet to watch, the hesitance and unsureness of the Male Lead about his feelings for the Female lead is quite interesting to watch and very adorable seeing how he tries to protect her in his unsure way of expressing his feelings.It is actually a nice short series, very light with humour and alot of yummy food to watch.... you probably can catch a few methods of how to cook some of the dishes. Makes me hungry watching sometimes :D
The songs are also nicely paired with the show. I really love some of the songs. Rewatch value, for me, definitely worth watching a couple more times.

excellent chemistry annoying slow plot line.
the chemistry between the leads was excellent. The plot was pretty annoying. Too many cliched misunderstandings, pouting, and elders acting like controlling psychos. I ended up fast forwarding through swathes of it. but I really loved the male lead espec he could pretty much act without even saying a word his face was so expressive. I found the pacing very irritating. they get together then it just goes nowhere. and the female lead acts like a toddler a lot. at this point I’m just trying to make the 500 word minimum in order to submit this.Was this review helpful to you?
I loved it
I discovered the series by chance and I was so excited that I finished watching it in a few days. I love series with older versus younger ones. And the couple was so cute to melt away. I think, I will rewatch it in a few month.The music at the beginning and ending of an episode was very beautiful.
The actors fit together very well. I found the "uncle" really funny. I also had to laugh in other scenes.
I will look for other series with these two actors in the future and also watch them.
Is there anyone here in the forum who knows other series with older and younger lead actors?

The OTP was so strong it carried me through the one significant problem I had with the drama, which is simply that it was four episodes too long. Had this been 20 instead of 24, I probably would have scored at 8.5 or 9 because especially the first 10 episodes were just outstanding. It revived my faith in the entertainment potential of C dramas and confirmed that Romcom tropes can still work with the right combination of cast writing performance and chemistry. This kitchen based romcom had all the right ingredients and blended them to perfection. It was just a touch overdone.

A really nice drama to watch in your free time.
If you like some good comedy and romance this drama is for you.There were scenes that could make you go full on laughing and others that were really cute. Both leads were hilarious but supper sweet at times. Their age gap was refreshing to see. Something that isn't too often shown in dramas. FL was mature enough when needed and ML was able to become more free and childish (not to say they were childish) under her influence. Nice chemistry between those two. Watching their sweet moments made me feel like i am watching something private that's not meant for my eyes. It was really cute and sweet. I only wish there were more moments like that but when they came it made it up for the ones i wish it had.
But i feel like i should give out a warning - Food scenes will make you go hungry. Watch at your own risk...
All that aside i absolutely recommend you watching this drama. Sweet, funny and entertaining what more could you ask for?!
