Great Story with great food
I actually didn't see this series when it first aired, so I was very familiar with Jun Ho's work after this, as I started watching.
This looks like a silly series at the beginning, but it starts to transform into a great drama with excellent acting from episode 4 and beyond. That's about the time that the Jun Ho we are familiar with really kicks into gear with his acting. As usual, he does not disappoint with a superb performance. He's teamed up with several perfectly matched protagonists in the story. Ryeon Won & Hyuk really complete this drama and make for an extremely enjoyable show.
It's a classic story of a "David vs Goliath", a small restaurant trying to compete and surpass the monster & upscale fine dinning restaurant just across the street, but with several twists and turns in the story.
The hotel and restaurant CEO is made into a brilliant antagonist by Sa Kwon, making him the most hated person in this series ... not only stealing Poong's wife, but terminating him from his head chef position at the same time. Along with him are several other antagonists cooking in the restaurant, having us count the minutes until they all get the retribution they truly deserve.
I guess the only negative that kept coming up was the extremely annoying character of Sao Woo's mother, fighting the relationship between Poong & Sae Woo at every turn. It really became frustrating in later episodes to watch ... but once you can endure that, this does turn out to be a great series, lots of drama mixed with just the right ingredients of comedy and romance to make a perfect dish for serving.
