So true. I guess the director for this drama is not a romantic type but all for the love of food. 😅

I know it was a cooking show, but the director could've opted just to let FL cook for his majesty perhaps for every date they may have. That would be more romantic I guess. FL have already competed in her modern era in the begining, yet, more competition during the Joseon era. I guess, one round of the competition is enough but making it 3 rounds.🙄

So true. I totally agree on this. They could've done much better in terms of the romance. The cooking competitions ate most of the time. Sadly. 😌

I agree on that partly. But, like I said, only 2 eps left and I'm not sure if there will be still a moment for a real deal kiss with the MC. Like, even if FL meets ML in the future am sure, it's a fresh start for them, so no real deal kiss to expect I guess.

Oh ok. 😁 Well, Netflix is known for having no restrictions on steamy scenes. I guess, the romance part kinda disappoints for me. Given that there are only 2 eps left yet, there's no real progress skinship wise.

But content rating says 15+ teens older, so steamy kisses can pass thru this rating. Besides, Emperors during the Joseon era are much well known for steamy kisses, reality wise, so why not at least make the depiction realistic.

Well, for romance enthusiasts like me, this is just like a teenage kiss. Even college students would kiss steamier than this. Just saying, for an adult portraying a romantic scene.

Yes, I've seen King The Land, I don't remember the kissing scene in that drama since I've watched that 2 years ago. And yes, I am aware too that Chae min is currently in a relationship. But, I don't think that's the reason for this very bland kissing scene. I can see Chae Min's efforts to make it look steamy. I just can feel that Yoona is being awkward with their age gap in which she shouldn't. As an actor, she could've expressed herself very well with that kiss, like you said if she could've done it in King The Land.

After the long wait for that kiss....it's just badly executed. They could've done it better. I mean, Lee Chae Min does his thing. If only Yoona cooperates...I mean, it's just a kiss...at least make it a bit steamier for the audience. 😌

Yes, but not sure if he already knew at ep. 3? much later I think.

Yes, the intensity is visible in that gaze, but, I just can't define it, as I know, ML thinks she's a man. So, he tends to shrug off all those thoughts in his mind. Slowburns ain't really for me. The chemistry was there, specially when they became an official couple. But, I think I liked the part better when they pretended to be husband and wife . I liked how a spoiled wife she was.
I get what you mean on Bai Shu's face 😁 His acting was great here though. I'm not a fan of the ML..
The skinships are just too bland. I remember the drama Oh My General. I like how the lady general was romantically active there.

Oh well, I'm not into animation. Not all people are interested into such. It will only be a loss if it's a romance drama and I missed it.

No, I'm not interested anymore. A no romance drama is definitely a no watch for me. 😁

Not for you maybe. But, having Ao Rui Peng as ML. He got his popularity from romance dramas. It's so unusual not to see him in a non romance drama.

Totally agree. Tried to copy but not even close.

Hahaha I liked that bad jeans description and all the worst that you can think of. FL here has a good looking face but the acting and the role really ain't for her.

I guess the budget is too tight for this drama. Can't even pay a writer to get a good story and just copied instead.

I just recalled the scene where FL still ate the mangoes even she know she's allergic with it just to not reveal her identity. The ML carried her back into her room coz the allergy has already been acting up. they were eating in a dining area at the home of the FL I think where her father is also with them and yes, her step sister as well who's trying to blow her disguise.

I'm just quite unsure now if I remember this scene in Mysterious Love or My Lethal Man. Both FL's looks the same. LOL

So true. I just couldn't understand why would they make the exact scenes on the same drama? Like every detail is the same. They just altered some scenes a bit. Like in Mys. Love, it's the FL who's allergic to mangoes not the ML. The scene where ML denied his identity at the pool where FL and Song Qian's fiancee fell at the pool was also the same.

I'm just disappointed that the kisses and skinships here are poorly done. Mysterious Love is really way better and yes, the OG for this kind of genre.

This has the same exact plot as Mysterious Love. You should check that out.

Just on ep.10, this drama has the same exact plot as Mysterious Love. It's like watching a version of it. Honestly, the ML and FL in Mysterious Love are way better than this one. FL's character is likeable in ML. Gu Nian's character is just so irritating tbh. And yes, even the skinships are way hotter in ML than here.

Gave this drama a chance inspite of its low rating. Unfortunately, this was a very big disappointment. the rating given is truly deserved. First, there's not a single character who's likeable in this drama. If there would be one exception, I'd give it to Lin Sen. He's the only character who's sensible here. All the FL's are a total crap. So full of themselves. Lucky for Qin Lan to have her happy ending. But, honestly, she doesn't deserve that happiness at all. I really hated Pan Xiao Chen's character. She's so dominating and full of herself. She really doesn't deserve Wang Jun. All she thinks about is herself. Same goes with Xiao Xiao. I hate her using all the men around her just because of her beauty. I feel sad for Wang Jun's character. He deserves a better woman who'll genuinely love him. I believe Wang Jun would have not experienced such mental health issue if he was only taken care of the right woman for him. I felt PXC just used him to have a life companion. She really didn't love him obviously. She just manipulated the guy all through out. Overall, if you're into domineering women, this one is for you. I pity the men here. Except for the cheater and the brother. They got what they truly deserve.

It's a 6.5 for me for such a very poor, full of scheming claimed romance. Not to mention, this is a no skinship drama. Just a very short kiss by the MC towards the end. And yes, I really hated that standup comedy act at the beginning of each episode and even got a limelight in the finale. The story is just so poorly done.
