This is much lighter compare to yanxi palace and court lady. When watching a palace drama, there's a certain expectation it will becomes darker I hope it won't be since I really like this show focus on food, and my love for the cp from yanxi palace. Really hope they get their happy ending in this drama ^^

It's very good. The story is focus on the food and it's preparation. If you're a food lover you will like it. There is a budding romance between ml and fl, even though it's only at the starting point ^^

Love xukai, watching royal feast but the release of new ep is so slow. Can't wait for all his dramas to come out ^^

Zi Jin finally admits her feeling to Zhan ji, and his response was so comical, like she totally shut him and make him even more interest in her ^^ Kind of feel bad for his wife though, when she finally decides she want to be on good term with her husband, but can't really blame him for acting cold toward her now. She was so cold to him when he was trying to please her before, then she poisoned herself causing him to become sick and in turn finding out she would rather die than be his wife. That got to hurt his pride if not his feeling, his question to her about being with him to the end makes me think he must care for her, and the more you care, the more disappointed you are when you find out the other person doesn't feel the same. In a roundabout way kind of how zijin is feeling now, she care for him more than how a servant would treat her master, and is disappointed he treated her only as a servant.
The sml seems to be interest in her too. His response to her makes me think he has met her in the past, hence his interest, or I could be wrong and his response to her is due to her willing to stand up to him, and not afraid of him.

Turn out it's only the first week with 1 ep a day release on YouTube. I thought it was slow before, now we'll have to wait even longer for new ep 😔

After watching this drama, and many other historical dramas, I feel bad for the women who live in those time. Whether being a concubine or a servant, they have it tough; for a concubine if they're not favor they could be ignore and neglected or even kill if they are caught in the cross-fire of a conspiracy, while being a servant they have to worry about not offending the higher up. Such a hard life to live. No wonder all those who have money even gone so far as to bribe the palace guards to keep their daughters from entering the palace...

I'm watching on YouTube with VPN set to any Asian country, and it should work ^^

I agree with you. How can 4 seconds can tell enough about a person especially if that person is written as a very complex character with real feelings and thoughts. Also for characters with many layers and inner feelings, and a real historical figure as that. I'm still learning about his character even now, since we haven't seen him in all his glory yet.

Yeah I got to that ep and you're right ^^

You can rate this drama each episode if you click on episode guide, Not many people are rating it, that's why it's low. If more people watch and rate it, the rating will improve since this drama is very good so far, it combine my love for food, good plot, characters you like, sismance. The main romance is also really cute with xukai and wu jinyan from yanxi palace, they also play very different characters. I'm hopeful her promise to him will be fulfil in this drama ^^

What you don't understand. This drama really good at exposition, if you don't understand keep watching it will be explain in due time. If you still don't understand, you can always ask here ^^

Thanks for the suggestion ^^

Up to ep 8, ml reaction when he was missing fl was so cute. She finally got his attention when she became sick and didn't cook for him, and he starts to develop feeling for her ^^ Why does it look like those two girls from the food service are competing for fl attention, yue hue is acting jealous when she see fl and zi ping together.

I assume it's the ming style make up and hair that make the females look pale, since I notice they don't wear much lipsticks. In yanxi palace, the lipsticks are the most noticeable.

Just watched the latest ep, and yeah they're eunuchs.

The one on YouTube has the proper sub, but it only sub 1 ep a day so right now it's up to ep 9 I think.

I don't think they're eunuchs. But you are right, they must grew up with ml. They're so much closer than normal master servant relationship ^^

The fl has many suitors, but she only loves the ml so I don't consider that a love triangle. Her working in the palace is what hinders their relationship.

No prob ^^

I rewatch this dramas a couple times, so the story still stuck in my head lol ^^
