It's such a funny coincidence that Choo Young-woo and Lee Chae-min, who were classmates in acting school, are both having their breakthrough this year. Their teachers must have done well!
This drama is so incredibly captivating. The first 45 minutes or so of Ep4 was basically one long cooking competition scene and I couldn't look away. Strong writing, acting and direction made it fly by!
And I like both. It would be boring without the romance. I have no idea why so many people keep writing that it…
It also makes no sense; the entire drama is centered around the romance. If you don't want a romantic comedy, go watch another drama with a different genre.
Haute cuisine ?! It's grande cuisine or haute gastronomie in France. And these meals are nowhere near what was…
Sounds like silly nitpicking to me.
"Haute cuisine" is also used in French (even extensively in its Wikipedia entry in French) and it's a more familiar term to anglophones than "grande cuisine" or "haute gastronomie".
And when she speaks of Versailles it seems more rooted in the preparation and presentation ("fine dining") than specifically about the actual dishes themselves (she had to make do with the ingredients available, after all). And tartar was a thing long, long before the modern recipe.
i am liking this drama so far but one thing is really weird..ML the king has a lot of mommy issues he kinda sees…
Well they've already showed pretty clearly in flashbacks and in general why the king has mommy issues. And many of his fond childhood memories with her are tied to food and them sharing meals. So I don't find it weird that Ji-yeong and her cooking would remind him of that.
The tvN rating this weekend will be interesting. The reruns of the first episodes have done really well, better than any other of their dramas this year, and it’s been dominating on Netflix. Plus audiences didn’t seem to respond that well to its competition (Twelve). Hopefully it can rise more! Would love to see double digits for this drama before the end of its run.

Sunday episodes tend to rate higher, so we are hopefully in for a new record again tomorrow!
