Chef's Kiss kind of Chinese Drama

Let me first start on its introduction, it wasn't as impactful as every other scenes but it created a pathway for a great story to unfold.

If anyone says anything bad about this story regarding its pacing, then maybe they can't stand such a propely paced story at all. I love how the characters weren't rushed into having their character development, unlike other dramas do (like literal two episodes and they're completely overturned in terms of personality lol). Definitely an top tier on the factor of character development, especially the villains. All of them were so well-written in why they ended up turning like that. My personal favorite was Hao Du, loved how he started from killing anyone that goes against the way of his mission to a literal sweatheart to his wife and serving her every needs even if it cost him his own life.

Now the actors and actresses, they picked the people on point! Dilrabra and Wu lei performed sooo well in this drama, struck my heart with their talents and skills like a cupid <33 love them. I also appreciate Zhao Lusi a lot, she's a very popular actress now, and this is one of her earlier dramas, she really is a talented actress. Liu Yuning was also phenomenal here, although he had small screen time compared to the main characters, his acting was showcaswed.

AND NOW the certainly most unique part of this drama, the one that really brings the flavour out... the world building! (well for me) I love how the story sequenced its events, which made out a sort of map on its viewers mind what kind world is being built for the watchers out there, and it was certainly not a bore. I really liked how they showed that on our Female Lead's Journey, her from her birth place and being a commander to military advisor to different places along with leading armies which kind of highly aided to how the world building was created beautifully!

Overall, this was such a good show! one of the best if you ask me! I'm so looking forward for the drama's of Dilrabra, Wulei, Lusi, and Yuning this year!!
