Dating in the Kitchen

I don't watch many Chinese drama, but this one has definitely become one of my faves. The main FL and ML - Zhao Lusi and Lin Shen - shared a beautiful & sizzling chemistry onscreen and they looked lovable together. The scenes between these two in the show were simply heart-warming and adorable... that I simply love them!

Besides the food that were presented in the show and the age gap between Lu Jin and Sheng Nan (main characters) were mentioned, you can ignore that because it's the love story between them that will just make you fall in love.

Besides the lead actors, the other characters in the show gave an awesome performance and I can assure that this show was totally worth watching, that you will love it!

Gu Sheng Nan (Zhao Lu Si) had one dream... to fully express herself in the food she makes and master her cooking skills. She tought she was while at the Zijing Hotel as an assistant chef and having a secret relationship with the head chef. Ufortunately one day she catches him cheating on her and breaks things off with him.

When she thought things couldn't get worse she finds out that she might be out of a job. Unfortunately her encounter with her soon-to-be boss, CEO Lu Jin (Lin Shen).

He has the charisma, a sharp tongue, and a head for business ready to make the tough decissions when needed. He was ready to sentece the hotel to it's doom, but things change the moment he tastes Gu Sheng Nan's dishes.

Besides doing business Lu Jin's other passion is food and is very perculiar in what he eats. In a single bite his tastebuds revive.

They start an odd kind of relationship where it would lead them even they don't even know.

Gu Sheng Nan. (Zhao Lu Si) showcases her true potential as a chef when an aggravating situation, and ill-fated misunderstanding, positions her against her prospective boss, the sharp-tongued CEO, Lu Jin(Lin Yu Shen).

Lu Jin, a prodigious entrepreneur, sets out to condemn the Zijing Hotel, changing his mind when he serendipitously comes across one of Sheng Nan's dishes. United by their passion for food, this improbable duo forges an unforeseen connection that takes them to an unanticipated destination.

In this romantic tale, you will find an age gap romance that is characterized by perfect chemistry, quick-witted one-liners, dramatic love rivals, obstacles, and everyday life. There's no better way to spend a rainy day than by watching this series with a bowl of popcorn in hand.

The acting is well displayed by all, but the script has so many loopholes and disconnect scenes. Espl taking an adaptation shouldn't have brought such flaws. I watched it only bcz of the music score and the SUPER DETAILED face expressions by actor Lin shen.

This drama combines all the clichés of the genre: older man falls for younger girl, rich man with poor hard working woman, lively, tough cookie with good friends , and he is a solitary, somber and serious, rich family meeting poor family, childhood friend, brother in search of recognition and love,female at work versus male at work domination, jealousy bla-bla-bla.. I believe that in order to make up a series with so many episodes, they searched all the clichés. The only thing that I really enjoyed are the photos of the food and meals. Still, at one time, this all disappeared, and it seems the girl is suddenly on holidays. The rest is pretty bad, even the actors are overplaying it.
