"Royal Feast" it's a historical drama about people working in the palace, their lives and loves.

Like most people, I also started watching because of "Story of Yanxi Palace", hoping to finally see Wu Jin Yan and Xu Kai as a couple, but the drama disappoints so much and that in all aspects. The romance is very weak, the relationship between Zi Jin and Zhan Ji doesn't captivate attention, so I thought that at least the cooking part would be good... but no.

At first, it seems like there is an intention to focus more on the day-to-day lives of the women who work in the palace and make the dishes, there are even some competitions between the characters, so I thought the drama would be something like "Chef Hua" or "Dating In The Kitchen", with scenes that make your mouth water and make you want to eat, but the food itself took a backseat.

I thought Zi Jin wanted to be a cook, but from the beginning she came to the palace with the intention of seducing the prince and taking back her place. She may say no, but no one forced her to become a concubine, if it was really her dream, Zi Jin wouldn't have given up so easily.
