Just happened across this by chance and so far so good!
Only two episodes are out which is a negative for me as I like to watch whole series if possible or maybe 3-6 at a time, but with Netflix that is not always the case unfortunately.
Not much of a spoiler ahead, if any:
This drama series is about a female chef from 2025 that time travels back to the Joseon era when it was ruled by a particular King with an iron thumb - known for his tyranny.
I suspect this one is going to be strongly based on romance, also, it seems similar to other previous historical dramas yet has its own distinct flair with its story telling so that is a bit of a bonus.
The humour I like, as well as the actors of the King and 18 year old peasant girl, but I'm still warming up to the actor that plays the chef.
I can't say too much about the music as nothing really stands out at all and may not when it comes to OSTs.
Am enjoying it, only I really wish all 12 episodes were released, rather than one or two at a time or one or two a day apart.
If you like rom-coms /romance and series like Hwarang, My Dearest, Mr Queen or Red Sleeve then this may very well be for you.
