You do not have to be a vertical drama watcher. If you have watched dramas long enough, 15 years for me, you would also be extremely suspicious of that DNA test.

I do not trust anything that involves Fang Lei. I would not even put behind me the possibility that she has something to do with her sister´s death. The kid is an excuse for her to stick around Haoming. In her mind she probably thinks she can be upgraded from aunt to mom in the future. She is delusional.

I was not spoiled, until I read your comment, but I got that exact same feeling.

I already found it weird that she found out she was pregnant 2 months after they broke up. Usually after about a month and a half you already have the first symptoms, plus it would mean that she would have gotten pregnant right before the breakup which does not seem likely because the relationship was probably already strained for a while before they finally decided to break up and I doubt they were sleeping together right up until the moment they broke up.

Another thing I found suspicious was Fang Lei being the one to give him the DNA test result. I have to suspect the veracity of any document that she touches. My guess is she thought in her disturbed mind that she could tie him down with the kid. Her being the aunt would create an unbreakable connection between the 3 of them, giving her an excuse to stick around and eventually go from aunt to mother, or so she wished.

I'm glad you enjoyed everything. I can tell a lot of effort was put into making this drama and I was interested in the plot for the first half or so, then it became mostly a cooking competition. I kept watching for the cooking but lost interest in the plot.

I have been watching dramas for 15 years now so it is not easy for a drama to keep me invested right until the last episode. Only a few dramas a year are able to really grab my attention. ^^'

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I found the first half or so interesting but then lost a bit of interest in the plot. Kept watching because of the cooking and to find out how it would end.

If you like food in your dramas, you should enjoy this like I did, BUT the plot and romance are nothing special.

This was something I watched while having lunch or when I had nothing better to watch. The high rating is probably due to the cast.

Makes sense. I did not read the novel so if the movie is entertaining I will give it a good rating.

Wow, 6.7 with such a great cast. Is it THAT bad?

Maybe or maybe they just want to leave the doors open for an American remake. Either way I did not like the ending. It felt very flat for an overall amazing drama.

This one was 6 episodes actually. And same, I won't be watching no American remake of this or Squid Game. No, thank you.

For the Japanese version it probably is. Now they are going to spit some American trashy remake like they are planning to do with Squid Game. They cannot do better so now they are just blatantly copying popular Asian dramas instead of creating something new.

This was nowhere as good as the other 2 seasons but it was still watchable... and then the ending came.

Netflix is trying to sell the same product they tried selling in season 3 of Squid Game and just to sell it they barely even bothered to wrap this one up properly.

Sooner or later all this greediness will come back to bite your butt cheeks, Netflix.

The ending was so bad that I wish this season never existed. The way season 2 ended was a much more decent wrap up for one of the best Japanese dramas I have watched in a while. So disapppointed.

There are so many plot twists and scheming characters that it became silly. But I have watched worse short dramas.

Sure, the drama is far from being great and not that close to being good. The supporting characters were more interesting than the main leads at times, the romance and plot are overall disappointing...but to say the ML does not show any interest in the FL is completely wrong. I though this was like a one-sided thing because of comments like that. The ML does love her and definitely goes after her in several moments.

BUT at the same time he has a complicated family life and many insecurities, he believes the FL deserves him only at his best, as if he needs to be perfect to be with her. And yes, that can be quite frustrating and might make people think she should just stop chasing after him.

That was also the same reason why I thought this was an average drama and did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would from watching the first half or so. I also felt like some things were missing by the end of the drama but maybe that was just the result of me skipping a lot of scenes.

I hope this comment will at least help you start this with the right expectations.

The synopsis made it seem more interesting than it actually was and the ending was just depressing for no reason. This one definitely will not be added to my list of good short dramas.

I waited over half a year for the subs so I could watch it but it is so bad that I had to drop at episode 2. I just cannot stand how most characters, including main leads, are behaving.

This was way too similar to some other drama or short drama I have watched in like the past year or so. I even had to double check this just aired in August 2025.

For that reason I was quite bored because I knew more or less the development of the plot and who was behind her parents' death. The romance also felt very bland. Maybe I would have a different opinion if the plot was new to me.

Not bad for a short drama. You can tell they put some though into making this instead of just giving us fan service with no substancial plot and mediocre acting like most short dramas do.

Went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Probably, but the ML is already married, has a main wife and a bunch of concubines. Not sure I will be able to enjoy the romance between the main leads. I am all for sharing food and other stuff but sharing a husband is where I draw the line. ^^'

I have previously watched dramas where the ML has other wives but I feel like the romance feels less authentic. I am ok with supporting characters having concubines and all or the concubine the ML has is just a temporary thing and he does not sleep with her but dramas where the ML actually has other women and it is not just for show, I have a hard time watching.

Except in The Prisoner of Beauty the ML only married and had eyes for the FL. Here the guy has a main wife and a bunch of concubines.

The sort of drama that if I am even able watch I will have to be in a specific mood and will probabaly fast-forward a lot to try and not ruin the romance for me.

I have actually done the same in the past for a drama that was also getting low ratings for no good reason. XD
