From Flat Faces to Forgotten Plots — A Frustrating Ride From Start to Finish
I had hopes for this drama because the concept was genuinely appealing, but the actual execution was very underwhelming. The biggest letdown was the male lead—his expressionless acting made it difficult to connect with his character. There was absolutely zero chemistry between the leads, which made the romance feel forced and empty.
One of the most frustrating aspects was how bad actions went completely unpunished. A major moment like the recipe being stolen from the female lead was simply ignored, and the person responsible faced no consequence at all. Similarly, the male lead’s mother lied about the final result of an important competition—claiming it was a tie—and again, no one held her accountable.
To make things worse, the drama wasted too much time on unnecessary subplots. For example, the Le Munir restaurant storyline dragged on for 3 whole episodes out of a 10-episode drama, and in the end, nothing came out of it. They just left the hotel storyline hanging without any proper execution or closure.
Honestly, I only finished this drama because I was watching it while it was airing. If I had started it after it was completed, I would have definitely dropped it. The overall pacing, lack of emotional depth, weak lead, and absence of proper consequences made this drama a huge letdown.
