    Worth watching just for the cooking!

    I really enjoyed this show. It's sometimes a bit convoluted and I think the plot could have done with some more work but wow, Lee Jun Ho is fabulous in this!! He really immerses himself in his roles!! Loved his work as a Chef!! It is wonderful to see all the wok ways!! Inspiring actually! It's enjoyable to watch and worth it!!

    Entertaining

    Enjoyable even though the script doesn't have depth and sometimes doesn't make much sense. However just watch and be entertained and don't think too much. Then you will enjoy it as the cute lead actor and actress will make you smile and laugh and even teary eyed with their antics.

    Okay KDrama but flawed.

    I love the two male leads, most of the cast. The romance was lukewarm until the end when it was playful, but still not very believable. Jang Hyuk is already an established, great actor, but he wasn't used well. JunHo is even better in Rain or Shine and Confession; has a terrific future because he's super gifted. Enjoyed much of the series but found the writing erratic especially in the final episodes. Really tired of intrusive mother figures, and this one is a dolt. Good series, but not great.

    Great chemistry but lazy writing

    I really like the chemistry between the lead characters. If you want romance I can fully recommend it. They built it up nicely and it feels very credible.

    However, there are obvious misses and lazy screenwriting and it is really a shame. Some characters just disappear like they were never in the show and the last episodes are a bit too cringe to watch. The mother is just insanely annoying and I can't understand how no one can say anything.

    But the story is fun to start with and only in Korea you can make it work between a chef, a rich business daughter and a gangster.

    So, most of all, I really liked the couple and their acting, the show got me inspired and I enjoyed the bromance so that's why it got an 8.

    Delightful and sexy!

    Serves up a delectable blend of romance, comedy, and mouthwatering food. Its charming storyline and endearing characters create an irresistible package that kept me thoroughly entertained. The dynamic between the main characters is brimming with chemistry, making their journey from rivalry to romance utterly captivating.

    The drama's unique setting, a struggling restaurant, provides a refreshing backdrop for the unfolding love story. The comedic moments are well-timed, injecting levity into the narrative without overshadowing the emotional beats. The culinary theme adds an extra layer of enjoyment, as the characters' passion for cooking and the mouthwatering dishes they create become a feast for the senses.

    This was a heartwarming journey that celebrates the power of resilience, friendship, and love. The stellar performances, witty dialogue, and delectable food scenes make it a standout in the world of kdramas. Whether you're a foodie, a romance enthusiast, or simply looking for an engaging and uplifting watch, this series offers a truly satisfying experience that will leave you hungry for more.
