Absolutely love this!

This is genuinely one of my favorite chinese dramas ever. Absolutely loved the acting of almost all actors and obviously especially the fl and ml, they had so much chemistry and they got cuter the more I watched.

On another side note, I truly believe that the last “plot twist” was so unnecessary, could have kept Chu Zhou, dude manipulated literally one of the most powerful people in the empire but could not think logically because he was ..”in love”? I do like that XingYing (I think that was her name) died because he didn’t appreciate her enough, all this time he was all about He Yan being special meanwhile his maid went to such extreme lengths for him and he was just like 🧑‍🦯

it’s cute but the ending was so rushed

The entire thing was not top tier or anything but I genuinely enjoyed it. I especially liked the way they portrayed the story, in the end the king was maybe bad, but even if he wasn’t he still would have been known as bad because that’s what the winner (prince jesan) decided. In the end, the ones who win are the ones who tell the story how they want. So I found that nice honesty.
Acting was good, both FL and ML played their roles really well for me.
The cooking aspect was enjoyable, I don’t know about other Kdrama watchers but maybe anime influenced me in this aspect so it felt like a slice of life cooking kdrama which made me unwind if anything.
However the ending… Ending it with “how he came to find me is not important cause now we’re together”..is very annoying. I don’t what happened with the production to want to wrap it up like that or maybe that’s how it was meant to be, but 1 more episode could have explained a few things, like what happened to his people who took over the palace? , like how he came to future? , and when he met her in the restaurant he was already well dressed in a normal outfit so how did that happen? , how did even find her?
So yea I enjoyed a whole 11 episodes of this, but the last part was so rushed it frustrated me.
