Warm Cozy Family Comedy with culinary delights!

Just finished watching this drama, although the title says yummy x3 this is not solely focused on food at all.The balance in the storyline was very good,combining warmth of family, time travelling, coziness of food, a little bit of Palace politics and found families in between, blended with some really good comedies which didn’t feel like over-the-top or forced for the audience.

As i watched this drama ongoing, everyday felt like a happy journey experiencing shen family in the yunshui manor with Lin yan,whom they've thought to be the ancestor of their family tree but turned out to be totally wrong later. Li Yun Rui as Lin Yan & wang ying lu as Shen Jicai are absolutely amazing in Their roles,and surprisingly all the cast members from side characters to guest roles are stunning in their acting performances,censor pei fei, Mr. cao,liu chang,the chef that arrived later,I've found myself attached to almost all the characters in the drama, even Prince zhao,his end left me speechless, even if he was a bad person, no one would deny he was a good father for a child that was never his real son.

Shen family dynamics were enjoyable,their family meetings were fun all the time,but some things Between the shen parents were dragged in the middle.This is surely an A budget drama,but production class was visible with extremely pleasant cinematography and eye soothing costumes and set,reminded me of "the double"

About the ending, My appreciation for the writer for bringing a bit of science & physics into her story...when I watched jicai's family not remembering their time travel journey but still owning the growths they all individually went through in the trip, i couldn’t help saying It's an extraordinary excellent storytelling. Although the concept Isn't proved & It's just a thesis so far, but by physics law's,if travelling to the past is ever possible, you are supposed to forget everything that happened in the process, Any memory that is collected along the closed timelike curve will be erased before the end of the loop....

when jicai 'fainted' in the ancestral hall & travelled back into the past,Lin yan's modern reincarnation also fainted at the same place & dreamed about his past life & regained his past life memories through the butterfly...I took the butterfly as the resentments & memories of Lin yan that stayed in the mortal world for thousands of years until jicai & his reincarnation was born & grown into adults in the modern time & it sustained jicai's memories even after she came back to her era.so only jicai and him remembers each other.... For Lin yan,although his time with jicai was brief, his love transcended through his lifetime,Shen family gave her the warmth he never had since his childhood, jicai gave her a love that stayed for over thousand years and beyond, and i believe he was never lonely with all his precious memories and he never regretted any moment of that time.

Thanks yummy yummy yummy for being such a delightful watch all throughout. I have liked the ending even more than ADWAD. The cast did an amazing job,i laughed a lot and cried a little. One of the best dramas I've watched this year!
