i loveeeee how this show has a warmness into it despite all the hardships in it

is ML's character a real red flag? i wanna consider watching but i cannot stand it if hes really toxic (ok with spoilers by the way!)

off topic but blond highlights suits him really well

the story flows way faster in webtoons and they focus on panels rather than paying more attention to the side stories (most of the side characters dont get to shine or have solo scenes too much) which is very normal bc its supposed to be something easy to read while focusing on visuality way more. everyone might not like it this way and thats on them tbh considering how some people are not used to this like im used to? but still i dont think theres much to worry about and like i said before this is just my opinion and yours might differ.

if i recall it right there was a part where ML apologised to the FL for the fact that he agreed to have a cooking competition in the first place bc the Ming envoy decided to give ridiculous points to the Joseon team and she got hurt in the process as well. i do understand your point of view for pointing out. but was it horrible? definitely no for me as someone who reads webtoons with similar plots. and yeah if the main plot is something unrealistic, things like this (such as unnecessary events like cooking competition) bounds to happen. depends on what you expect in a drama too i guess

tbh i dont think these are big details for the plot that effect how the story flows and considering the fact that they disguised their roles in order to hide their identities from the craftman i do get the point of them going on foot. and i think this point counts for the bodyguards part too bc general public doesnt know how the king looks like, but was it dangerous for him? yes. i do understand your point of view too but such details like this didnt bug me

i had to take a break from keeping up with this drama weekly and got to watch the end of it just now but what's up with the comments? i dont get why people got too mad with the plot not being realistic lol. given the main plot being FL going back in time to Joseon as a chef idk how some people imagined it to be realistic to be honest. it was a good watch for me tho this is just my opinion

seriously the envoy's reactions were really top tier!! i agree with the backlash thing and i liked how they tried to keep imaginary scenes almost equal as well 💚

other things aside loveeeed the way they had showed imaginary moments after they ate the food made by Ming's cooks too just like they did with Joseon's. they couldve not though, in order to show how good Yeon Jiyeong's cooking is but they kept it real like they should

i dont think hes TOTALLY a good guy either and i wont argue on that lol its obvious that he has some intentions about being close to the king. but we will get to know whether he had the illest thoughts about the king or not sooner or later

i think hes has been solely focused on getting information on his sisters death tbh ive mixed feelings about which side he's on... it seemed like he has been trying to find out the truth by getting close to each sides to me

well he gave reallyyyyy suspicious vibes until now but im gonna hope nevertheless bc hes too funny... but i dont think he would come out as clean either lol

gonggil's character is really entertaining to watch so far lol im gonna hope that he wont come out as a villain

amount of mouth/lip shots the king has is taking me out occasionally

the way this is going is so goooood omg im so seated

i definitely will 🩵

oh thx for the detailed explanation!! i decided to put it on hold for a while bc im not in the mood to watch sth thats not fast paced for now but if the storyline goes like this i might give it a chance again later <3

as someone who has a really short attention span i binged all episodes that were available lol... hope the rest of the drama will flow smoothly like this as well

thx a lot!!

can someone tell me about the romance in this drama? is it good?
