Vendeta Culinária (2025)

meh...

I started watching this drama because of Yan Zi Xian.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the showcase of cooking while the drama didn't have the food genre.

the acting was meh! from everyone!
I think some of the blame should land on directors of the drama since the cast had decent acting in their other projects.

Yan Zi Xian is a good actor and I was impressed with some of his dramas so I don't know why his acting wasn't as good. some of his facial expressions were over the top here.
sad to say that fl's acting was also really butchering this drama!!

you might ask why was I harsher on fl in my review? because she was the focus of the drama! I couldn't connect to her character at all! not romantically and not even her rage. I usually root for revenge but she was acting so flat that I didn't care.

the chemistry of the leads was lacking. their romance felt one sided from ml. and their romantic scenes felt awkward to me.
ml and the princess had more chemistry than him and fl! fl barely shows any emotions for Jun Yao.

along all these complaints, I could say it was refreshing to see a supportive mother in law.

the pacing of the drama was too slow for me so I skipped bits and pieces to be done with this drama and I absolutely would not re watch this drama.

so should you watch it or not?
*if you are new to short cdramas, don't start with this drama!
**if you like either of the cast go ahead and watch it.

***if you are planning to watch this, I have some content warnings for you:
there is SA in ep 1&2.
so proceed with caution if these bothers you.
