CHEMISTRY wow. skip everyone else
If you love rom coms and you're thinking of dropping this because of this horribly messy stories, don't. Wait till the couple get together because oh my gosh! If you like romance that makes you keep the remote close so you can skip everyone else and get back to the main couple, then you’ll probably really enjoy this drama. This is one of those love stories where the main leads completely carry the show, and every time they’re on screen together, everything just works. I went into this not expecting much, and it honestly surprised me by how hard I ended up falling for their relationship.
This drama started off rough for me, but by the middle, it completely won me over — mostly because of the chemistry and how emotionally satisfying their connection became.
LIKES:
-Their chemistry. INSANE. Toe-curling, scream-into-a-pillow chemistry.
-The female lead’s naïve, carefree attitude and how she never takes herself too seriously.
-Her honesty and emotional openness — very refreshing.
-The male lead actor did an amazing job. Cold on the outside, absolute mush on the inside.
-Watching him fall for her around episode six was beautiful, especially after how badly he was treated by his ex.
-She sacrifices herself for him instead of being selfish, and that meant everything.
-Their connection felt natural and intense.
-The concept felt fresh, especially coming off My Sweet Mobster — very much in the same emotional lane.
-This went from a 7 to a 9 by episode 7 for me.
-NO breakup drama between the leads. YES.
-The ML is ALL man — the way he handled her and protected her was chef’s kiss.
-Loved how she didn’t let misunderstandings tear them apart.
-The male lead’s heart toward the second male lead and how respectful he tried to be.
-The second male lead actually had great potential with his own love interest.
-All the cooking, food, and restaurant world — I love seeing a new industry through a romance drama.
-His devotion. The way he pursued her parents and was willing to face consequences for her.
-Cold exterior, softest interior. My favorite trope.
DISLIKES:
-The casual attitude toward affairs and making light of marriage.
-stupid talking horse. why?why?
-this write ruined anymore drama for me with her bad writeming. almost happened here but I'm glad I stayed cause the Main Leads carried this.
-Episodes 1–3 were a COMPLETE mess. Sloppy storytelling and confusing character introductions. I had no idea what I was looking at.
-The mob characters were annoying and added nothing at first.
-The thug-and-his-mom storyline and all the ajumma antics were completely irrelevant.
-This should have been tighter. Cutting unnecessary side stories could’ve made this a perfect 12–16 episode drama.
This is one of those dramas where the main couple makes everything worth it. Yes, it’s messy. Yes, the beginning is rough. And yes, there are way too many unnecessary side plots. But the romance? The chemistry? The emotional payoff? Absolutely worth it.
If you’re watching for a deeply devoted male lead, insane chemistry, no breakup nonsense, and a romance that slowly sneaks up on you — this one delivers. I stayed for the love story, and I don’t regret it.
