Falls flat
While I appreciated some of the long shots, the soundtrack, and the food/cooking scenes, this drama was a bit disappointing overall.
It’s supposed to be a romance, but it falls flat in that regard. The two chefs seem to treat their romance as an afterthought rather than the central emotion they should be experiencing. I felt that the actors didn’t commit enough to make the story believable on screen. The overall plot was intended to be one of enemies to lovers, but I didn’t feel that connection at all. They were rivals at best and then became friends, with a romance that felt like a lovely afterthought.
In the end, I’m somewhat relieved this series only had 8 episodes, as the time I spent watching it wasn’t too significant.
