for me, everysigle time i see a series that is 20 ep, 16 ep, 12 ep and so on, at least 4 ep you can take way and…
imho I see the food stuff as the main plot and the romance as the side plot there.
it’s true, most shows don’t need the episodes. but then again, a story can also be told in 1 movie time frame. the fact that it’s a series shows, much filler time is added to waste time. what I do like about the long shows is what’s missing in today’s shows: drama. when I Starter watching these stuff, they started with a 4 eps substory „in the past“ to highlight the destiny later on. then, 12-14 eps where the main plot but then the plot turns upside down in the last two eps. I think, something like this is the Core DNA of k-dramas. now, the internationalization is happening and the format adapts to the US serial format. (but without having seasons. occasionally, this exists now as well from time to time)
how does this compare to other time travel gender bender cooking themed show? (sorry, forgot the name but I know you know which show I’m thinking about)
No, there is no romance ^^ early on you might get a feeling there might be romance, but after 10 eps, there is nothing beyond the mentor-mentee-acknowledgment
Yes.. Leads always wins the case in general.. Its only shown side character loosing like one in Law and the City..
it’s okay if they win, that’s not the problem. but it’s more interesting if they find some loop holes, the win itself is not completely morally superior or they lose in the first instance but achieve a comeback later on. something like that. also, the arguments why they win are still relevant.
I don’t find it compelling that every case is either black and white or, once if it’s grey, the outcome is always in favor of „team lead characters“. the story then justifies it with a morally view on the topic which is still not legal.
still, does it count as „product placement“? can Dubai be called a „product“?
