When the Ending Ruins Everything
This drama started off so well—I was having a great time and it really pulled me in. But the ending? Wow, what a mess. I can’t remember the last time I saw such a bad finale. Nothing was explained. I sat through this long final battle only for nothing to change in the future, and the main character is still seen as evil. Then the king suddenly pops back up out of nowhere, shows up for like two minutes, and doesn’t even bother to explain anything. It just made zero sense.
And honestly, I have no idea how an entire production team looked at this ending and went, “Yeah, this works.” No way. He just shows up in nice clothes and the explanation is basically, “It doesn’t matter.” Like… what? Lol. I pushed through all of it—even those never-ending competition scenes with Ming that were already a drag—just because I was waiting for a payoff at the end. And it was honestly such a letdown.
seriously, what was even going on in those last episodes? How come everyone in the new kitchen looks just like the old cooks but they’re not actually the same people? What happened to the original ones? Why did she wake up in the hospital—did she get sick on the plane, was there an accident, how long was she even unconscious? Where did the king go? How did he react when he arrived in the new timeline? How did he even buy those clothes or manage to find her? Did she actually change history? Was she remembered as someone important? And the book—why did it even do that to them? Why did her father want it in the first place?
I mean, I know it’s fantasy, but there still has to be some sense of story. The beginning was so much fun, but honestly, they could have cut down on a few of those endless recipe scenes and all the moments of him drooling over food to actually give us answers. I’m just so disappointed with how it turned out.
