ZERO SEASONING ?
I have zero to negative tolerance on the number line for overpowered villain storylines like this one. It’s almost as if the writers, struggling to construct a proper conspiracy, suspense arc, or even a halfway decent mystery, just hurl a mountain-sized bully into the plot and hope for the best.
Take the vamp here, for example—daughter of the Marquis of Who-Knows-What. This woman has her nose (and occasionally her entire leg) in everyone’s business. She arrests people on a whim, tortures others like it’s a hobby, and uses every illegal trick in the book—and somehow, no one stops her?
If she’s that invincible, why doesn’t she go straight for the Emperor and call it a day? And if this is about personal power, not the law, then why is everyone putting up with her nonsense? She’s out here slapping strangers, crippling people, and walking away like she’s Beyoncé at a runway—but not one character thought of kicking her off her high horse?
And don’t even get me started on the title—Culinary Vendetta. Sounds tasty, right? Well, turns out, food is barely involved. They sprinkled the culinary element like salt in a bad college cafeteria meal—non-existent and deeply disappointing.
Moving on to cast the FL and ML are awesome actors but they are pathetic together ..no spark in chemistry.. in fact it felt like they were holding some grudge against each other while giving the kissing scene ... No Harmony whatsoever, and a big SHOUTOUT to the writer who made their romance even flatter with his plot. I like the character of Fl's MIL very refreshing and unique unlike the typical MILs we see in asian drama (boring and senile). The actress playing Vamp was the worst in my opinion.second class makeup third class acting .. It was so annoying to watch her raise her eyebrow at least ten times in each sentence..
I don't think I will survive to watch it end,This drama drained me so hard, I’m seriously reconsidering watching any short drama again for a while. It didn’t just disappoint me, it mugged my enthusiasm and left it bleeding in an alley.
