What on earth happened? First episode was fire and it went downhill from there. The cooking competition especially…
yeah! the past and present dynamic at the beginning between ML and FL was really funny, but then FL turned to any other palace member with zero personality of her own and just someone who's a good cook.
people have been hyping it up cuz of clips they see on insta/tiktok.
I didn't quite understand why the queen (his mom) was killed. I guessed it was because she stood in the way of…
from what I found, out, she was apparently disruptive and was spreading rumors about other consorts, she also scratched the king's face in a fit of rage.
They're good actors and the chemistry is fire, they really delivered. But the storyline overall is 👎🏽 and…
Yeah, he's a "tyrant" but has no backbone whatsoever, his love and favorite cook has been falsely arrested, and he goes to "investigate", what kind of a "tyrant" goes and investigates a crime and searches for evidence?
he gets insulted over and over by his subjects, and the "tyrant" king does nothing.
his uncle almost fucked up the whole nation, and the "tyrant" king does nothing.
and you could say that FL changed him and like ML's mom wanted, he was trying to be a "sage" king, but that argument doesn't hold water cuz he fell for FL super late, and he didn't know about the mom last moment stuff until super late and in the end he fucked off to the future without doing anything new or making up for his "tyrannical" ways. so in the history books he still is a "tyrant" king.
Theres a few comments not too happy with the show. Ill probably skip this then lol :)
It's not really a must-watch, the story has way too many holes and the cooking parts are filmed excellently and are sometimes fun, but they get boring quick, romance is lackluster and after episode 4 it forgets that this is a comedy too, the ending is terrible as far as explanation goes, so I can only recommend this if you have absolutely nothing else to watch and have already seen every drama in existence.
Well I've seen him in two dramas; Head over heels and Once upon a small town and in both roles he was a bland and poker-faced the whole time, I got zero emotions from him, even when he was supposed to be mad, he failed to convey that to me.
Started watching this drama because it was fun. And then I read about the history and now I despise writers for…
this never made sense to me, I don't know if it's a law or something, but I don't get why these writers won't just invent some made-up king for the purpose of their story, it's fiction anyway so who cares?
It's just haters who have ran out of excuses, grasping at straws to find a reason to justify their hate, like…
I've always been of the opinion that it's best to leave those lengthy explanations out of the story, they take too much time and waste it, and the audience will only end up more confused in the end, it serves no purpose, it only gives ammunition to people that are going to analyze every little thing in the drama, and those People weren't gonna enjoy it to begin with anyway.
look at the drama Reborn Rich as an example of the writer trying too much to make sense of the body switch/time-travel, when in the original novel, the author deemed it insignificant to explain, and the story was better off for it, I've always looked at time travel or Isekai as just a means to an end, it's simply a literary device that allows the writer to put their characters in new locations for their story to unfold, there is no reason to explain it cuz it's not the main focus of the story.
considering all the issues you've mentioned, an 8/10 is too high of a rating for a drama you wanted to drop
no need to explain, I was just curious, it's none of my business what you do, it was just interesting to me how someone can give a drama they wanted to drop an 8, for me the moment I feel like dropping a drama my rating goes below 5 meaning below average cuz an average drama can still entertain you for it's 16 episode drama, it might just be boring or too slow at times, but if I have to drop it for me it goes below average.
I have the same Question like he appeared in Suit Directly how?? no contact nothing how did he survived in New…
exactly, they could have easily cut the Ming competition shorter and given time to the ending if they had to do 12 episodes, even without doing all of that, get rid of the time wasted on lookalikes in the finale and focus it all on the couple, we already know FL's an amazing chef, you don't have to show it to us again.
And also what were they even thinking when they decided to hold a cooking competition when there was LITERALLY…
The King and his entire entourage were complete morons, like Im song-jae found FL's bag from the future and had zero questions,like as a person who has never seen realistic lifelike photos, wouldn't you have questions?
the entire cooking competition was meaningless, they did all that for the message the ming chef gave to FL and it did nothing
I have the same Question like he appeared in Suit Directly how?? no contact nothing how did he survived in New…
Yeah, like where did he get money from? does he even have an ID? isn't she a famous chef who might travel to other countries? how is he gonna go with her without a passport? did no one question how FL teleported from a plane midair to a hospital?

he was the weak point of both dramas.
