Korea really puts a handsome 2ML that is JAPANESE and then expects us te believe that we would prefer the ML for…
Is that pretty common in kdrama romcom? 2ml is rich, handsome, love and cherish fl but no matter how perfect he is, he’ll never get the girl. I also think KSH has his own charm as ml, people will fall for him anyway.
The teaser looks good….not sure about the plot yet, I like KSH and GYJ. I’ll definitely watch it when it airs. The Japanese actor also looks hot which is a plus.
I binge-watched 12 episodes in just 2 days over the weekend and it completely exceeded my expectations. The episodes…
As many have praised, LCM delivered an exceptional performance, especially considering his young age. In the final episode, when he is about to lose her, his portrayal was a true breakthrough. It was one of the most heartbreaking performances I’ve seen from such a young actor, his grief was so raw that you could truly feel his pain. YoonA also gave a wonderful performance, her calm and graceful presence while preparing food was captivating and I liked her character here more than any of her previous drama roles.
I also have to mention that all the supporting cast members were excellent in portraying their roles. Each of them did justice to their character, appearing in the story with purpose and contributing to the solid progression of the plot. For me, not a single character felt annoying or skippable, I never once wanted to fast-forward their scenes. Instead, they added more depth and made the drama even more engaging. Kudos to both the writer and the actors! No wonder Korean audiences loved it as well, with the final episode reaching a rating of over 17%, a remarkable achievement these days especially with so many streaming platforms available.
I binge-watched 12 episodes in just 2 days over the weekend and it completely exceeded my expectations. The episodes are quite long yet I never skipped or fast-forwarded because the drama was so engaging I almost forgot to sleep! This is an outstanding mix of fantasy, time travel, food, politics, romance and historical drama, all blended seamlessly within just 12 episodes.
The food aspect is central to the story as expected from the title, but what makes it special is the attention to detail given to each dish. It’s a real treat to watch, especially if you love food. Alongside that, the drama skillfully incorporates Joseon-era politics. What I appreciate most is that Ji Yeong doesn’t drastically alter the course of history. The only change is that his body was never found and we know why. He remains remembered as the tyrant king in history an outcome that makes sense, since the past shouldn’t be rewritten just because she traveled back in time, even if she healed him in her own way. If there were a major change, it would create a ripple effect across the entire universe, altering the future as well, Who knows what might have happened to the entire country as a result that’s the essence of the butterfly effect.
Like others have said, it would have been better if they had explained more about how he was able to be with her. But since it’s a fantasy, I guess we can assume that the one page of the book he kept had the power to bring them together.
I also think KSH has his own charm as ml, people will fall for him anyway.
I don’t need to wait for every week just to watch only one episode.

I started watching because I wanted to and I don’t really care about the rating anyway.
Why do you think he’s sick and going to die?
