Nice, light escapism
Was the story and pacing handled well? No. Were the characters well written and three dimensional? No. Did I like the relationship between the FL & ML? Nope.
Did I enjoy watching this? Yes!
To be honest, the pacing dragged a lot throughout the show, the FL definitely was in Mary Sue territory and frequently got away with ridiculously high stakes by the power of just being the protagonist, and the ML was presented as being a sweet, yearning boyfriend while actually being very insufferable, unempathetic, and veeery immature.
Which is quite a list of bad things, but I'd still recommend this drama to others anyway.
It's not a good story, but it's a very good pick me up for some good old fashioned escapism, especially if you don't want to pour a lot of emotional energy into a fully well fleshed out story.
I liked watching the FL beat impossible odds again and again through the power of her (delicious looking) food. The cooking scenes were definitely very fun. There was also a nice amount of side plots and intrigue to keep the storu from becoming too stale, and the characters were all entertaining and fun go watch on screen.
Overall, I have no idea how this drama got such a big hype going around it at all, but it did get a few laughs and gasps out of me when I was feeling pretty down, which I'm happy about.
