So I started this drama because my sister recommended it… and honestly, it didn’t disappoint! The story is solid, the acting is superb, and the music hits just right. Our lead travels back in time and turns out to be an amazing cook — and, of course, the king falls head over heels. 😍
One of my favorite parts? The way the drama explains traditional Korean dishes — I legit learned a thing or two and got hungry just watching! 🍲
Now, full disclosure: I found the humor a bit missing. Maybe I was subconsciously comparing it to Mr. Queen, which has that perfect mix of laughs and chaos. If you loved Mr. Queen, you’ll notice the storyline vibes are kinda similar here, just with minor tweaks.
For me, I like some laughs in my period dramas, so I probably won’t rewatch it. But as a one-time watch, it’s definitely tasty, charming, and worth your time.
