Great Cooking, Weak Drama
I really wanted to enjoy the show since it was listed top 10 on Netflix in my country but unfortunately it fell flat for me overall.
The storyline feels poorly developed (even though they already have a source material to work off on), with plot holes and lazy writing that undermine the show’s interesting setup. Characters make decisions that don’t make sense, and the build up to the finale is filled with extremely stale and boring scenes that adds zero value to the overall plot which makes me want to skip the scenes so badly. Most character's acting was incredibly overly exaggerated and lacks genuine emotions which ruins the entire experience for me.
The one genuinely positive aspect is the cooking, the food visuals and recipes are great, and I could see the appeal that it adds to the success of this drama. But if the best part of a drama is the food, you’re better off watching a good cooking show instead of this.
