At the end of the day, this is B horror. Yes, it's got flaws, but I ended up enjoying it. I was not able to predict the story by the end. You just have to turn your brain off to enjoy it. XD
It had major flaws and super irrational characters in the beginning, but I liked it. As most people are saying, the plot seems outdated for 2023, but I think that's what I liked about it. It felt a bit nostalgic. I can't remember the last time I watched a contract marriage family drama. It's actually more like a daytime soap opera than it is a weekend family drama. As long as you lower your expectations with that in mind, you might like it. I considered it cheap makjang and ended up binging the whole thing. It had a rough start, but it grew on me.
Since the synopsis is a little confusing, I decided to write a new one. 🤡
Nepo baby top chef and biology professor (more like a tsundere lab tech with a PhD) meet on a blind date. Neither have been in a relationship. ML needs to date her so his parents can continue paying for his fancy restaurant. FL needs to date him for 6 months so ML's parents can fund her research. They get off on the wrong start, but end up agreeing to fake dating.
This started out fantastic. It had been so long since I came across a drama with good angst and was addicting. The first third of this was great showing two storylines: the past and the present. It was done well. Unfortunately, when we caught up with the past storyline toward the middle of the series, the drama became super mediocre. Then we had a crappy ending with the last few episodes being filler episodes. So yes, I agree with the comments that say watch until episode 30 or read the novel instead. I also had major SLS too.
This drama is like a hidden gem or diamond in the rough. I was not expecting the quality to be so good based on the English title and the average looking poster. Just a note, although there is romance, the dramas primary focus is on the food and business part of the drama. The story is simple, but I like how these characters were written. No one is perfect.
Love this list, thank you! Does anyone know if "Guess Who I Am" is dubbed?
Glad you find it helpful. I briefly checked out the first episode of Guess Who I Am and sound quality/mixing is pretty clean. Some random cameo characters might be dubbed and ML's voice seems to be dubbed. I'm going to say it's a mix, but I'll have to get back to you after completely watching the drama.
Similar concept as Meet Yourself, but nowhere near the same level of production. I love that ML is a clown completely faking his way through business. The show starts off mediocre and chaotic, but gets more interesting as ML and FL fall for each other. At that point, the drama becomes more relaxing. The food recipes are simple, but the food looked great. The animation is super cute. The recipes at the end are very easy to follow and are great for beginners. Thanks for the foodspiration.
