for the few males looking for answers before diving in...
yes. the chef male lead does turn gay.i hesitated a lot with this drama here is why...the drama introduced us to successful and very much straight male only for me to realise half way thru they were going to decide to make him gay (in the queens body) which is a complete curve ball and an unpleasant one at that. i dropped the first time when i first discovered it, when it was coming out weekly as the story was not showing signs of the males lead involvement (in his original form) a year later ive decided to pick it back up as i never fully gave it a chance and now with all the episodes out i could make a sensible decision.
by the end of ep1 and 2 i was reminded of why i dropped it in the first place the thought of making a straight male gay suddenly didnt sit right with me not because i hate the concept of gay love but cause its unrealistic asf specially since in his first scenes we literally see him being intimate with a woman secretly in a storage room. the writer goes a step further to REASSURE us that he straight. by him LAMENTING not being able to encounter all the woman he had planned to meet. Going from that to finding himself involved with the king romantically is so forced at least to us non-BL lovers. ive realised all the recommendations FAILED to include that important piece of information. i wouldnt even consider that piece of information a spoiler since it has little to no impact on the plot most of us already knew this was rom-com drama when we pressed play. but apparently it was subtle BL rom-com something ALL THE RECOMMENDATION REVIEWS FAIL TO MENTION. probably cause most of em are females who actually indulge in BL stories. long story short i wrote this so u get answers and dont have to read several reviews to realise the CHEFs romantic interest is the KING.
