Honestly, the last three episodes have been kind of a snooze. The drama isn’t even that long, yet they wasted…
For me, Yoona's acting is good so far. Most of the time, her character is thinking about her next steps or planning the next best course of action inside her head. In order to convey what she's thinking, her expressions should serve her well. She is from a different era, so she is always processing her thoughts within herself so facial expressions should be more visible and obvious. Otherwise, watching her will be bland. I cant think of other ways she could have done her expressions. Her voice/tone was also very well executed for a leader who is calm despite the pressure. Her stature as a cook is also convincing.
I really like Jinmu here. Haha. It's still fun to watch. The only complaint I have is that there are no independent judges for the food. Both the king and the envoy lead have their own political agenda so how is this going to be settled in the end? One could give a low score on the opposite nation despite of the excellent food for the sake of achieving their goals. 🤔
Yes, me too. You explained it well. I don’t think it was boring or a waste at all with so much happening, but…
Yup, but I guess, the overall winner will be the cliffhanger since they are having 3 dishes this time. Haha. But yeah, i hope they wrap it all up in ep8. 😊
For me, ep 7 is not a waste. Without it, I wouldnt know that Jinmu is not totally a villain after all. It also showed how the king is changing in engaging with people - his authority could be exercised not by instilling fear but by connecting or rewarding. He even apologized for inconviniencing the people around him due to the competition. Thats called "character development". I think Cook Maeng has also his own agenda to save Joseon cooks by teaching Gil Geum cutting techniques in case they would be sabotaged (since he was instructed by Mokju to lose the competition). The introduction of the inventor could also play a crucial part later on (but i could also be wrong). The king is no longer naive about the impending coup attempt. A lot of details are in the works in building up the episodes ahead. Thus, it's not totally a waste.
Spending one entire episode on finding someone to make a pressure cooker is one hour of my life that i won’t…

I think, you are just like the king who is impatient 😅 I'm just kind of a watcher who pays attention to the small details that could be important later on.
who is Jinmu everyone praising him i dont remember the names of side character this much hhh sorry to bother you
The actor from one of the Ming cooks, the one with long silver hair, was a villain in Alchemy of Souls (another kdrama). His name there was Jin Mu and he was known for that role. We still call him as Jin Mu in this drama since he seemed still like a villain. But he did something good in earlier episode. So, I love him for now. 😅
Better than season 1! :) I didnt like the hospital politics last season but it's acceptable this season.
The only complaint I have this season is that the romance between Nurse Park and Dr A Reum seemed forced. I just cant watch them. Maybe, I'm just bitter. LOL!
lol the only part that bothers me is she's wearing bright silver and diamond earrings for half the episodes, in…
I think she only wore those prior to reaching the palace. Which made sense since they were given new outfit and washed up prior to going to palace prison. :)
I keep on replaying the scene where Yoona was drunk singing and dancing. Haha. Their production number with other kitchen staff is the kind that I dont find it cringey. 😆
