what were they thinking?
There are several aspects of this show that make you wonder what they were thinking.1. Yeonsangun - they took the worst South Korean tyrant of all time and made him the love interest. They also post his murderous mother as sympathetic and kind.
2. French cuisine - they pose French cuisine as if it is far superior to Korean cuisine. isn't that a bit racist towards Koreans?
3. Ming - but that's fine because we're know Korea as a whole loves things like macaroons, which are so sweet that the rest of the world finds them inedible. But the Chinese in particular do not like sweet desserts (a dessert compliment in China is "not too sweet") - but here they show FL deciding serving macarons to a Ming ambassador is a good idea. Not only that, but all the "Ming" are Korean, can barely speak Chinese, and the depiction is incredibly racist.
