Solid 8 - great start but bad subs ruin many parts

First several episodes were done perfectly. Really high quality and great pacing. Not a lot of parts I skipped

But after episode 6 or 7, it started getting repetitive and I started fast forwarding a lot more.

There isn't a whole lot of stupidity in plot. Which is great. I actually liked that beautiful Ditzy girl and producer the most in terms of characters. And of course the female lead.

I liked the leads and FL is so cute. Beautiful smile and eyes. It's impossible to meet someone as kind hearted as her in the human race.

Ten good episodes, then...

I loved the chemistry between the leads, and even the side pairings. But the Drama dragged on far too long. From episode 11-15 we had to sit through the usual "keep the OTP apart at all costs" bakvaas, which got really tedious, really fast..

That was a shame because up to about episode 9-10 it was looking like a solid 8. Only 16 episodes was appealing, but the very long episode length meant that the actual runtime was close to a standard C Drama of 24 45 minute episodes. The Drama had a lot gonig for it, they should have re,mbered two old truths: Less is more and Qui While You're Ahead

Watching for the Cooking Scenes, Dropping for the Main Lead

Not even making it to the last three episodes which everyone says are trash cause I for the life of me cannot understand the appeal of the male lead. He’s such a child, it’s unfathomable how he’s the romantic lead in ANY story. He was kinda fun to watch till episode 7 and now he’s spent two episodes jerking the female lead around for NO reason. I truly cannot stand any scene he’s been in the last two episodes and I’m so confused why the female lead would want to be with him any capacity.

Episode 7-9 are just him huffing around like a child, refusing to communicate, blackmailing her over and over again and being overly possessive over someone who is NOT his girlfriend or his employee. He only really seems interested in her when there’s another man around who also shows interest in her. It’s a pissing contest between two men and the female lead is just there waiting for one of them to choose her. In the earlier episodes, she had some backbone and would stand up for herself but that seemed to have dissolved into water sometime in episode 7 and now she's sitting on the sidelines waiting for the men to duke it out and decide whose going to win.

I forwarded to the part where they get together and I’ve never felt so justified in dropping a drama before. They get together because he literally forces her to kiss him in front of the SML and makes her choice for her. Then she quits her job at a company that respects her and aligns with her passion and goals to go back to his company and become his secretary?? If this is romance, sign up up for a lifetime of spinsterhood.

Pro: I genuinely enjoyed the first four to five episodes where she's teaching him to cook. The love of cooking and the art of food is some of the best parts of this show and the reason it got any points with me at all.

Uninteresting and Cliche

So Firstly you got the typical cold, arrogant, bossy CEO and a warm and kind female lead who can cook well. And of course a cheating boyfriend and an ex girlfriend who come outta nowhere. Despite that, first few episodes were really nice, I realized there were more to the female lead than that like for instance she wasn't a door mat and is actually not dumb. And the male lead warmed up to her pretty fast, shocking I know. It was light hearted and fun, got me hooked. Romance develop then fall then back again.
After few episodes, things started getting messy and confusing, the female lead suddenly wanted to celebrate his birthday despite not knowing him well enough I guess she caught feelings, then he got mad at her because he hated his birthday, if that doesn't scream CLICHE, I don't know what will. The plot is all over the place. I liked it in the very first few episodes, it seem quite normal yet slowly developing. Then out of nowhere they became stuck and awkward. Add in an uncle and best friend, it became a chaotic mix , like they are being forced together when they actually needed time apart to think things through. An ex gf came in, and it became even more confusing like it didn't already have a confusing male lead. Not to mention the other director guy who likes her, his personality now is different from his aloof aura before and honestly I found his character to have more depth and found him interesting than the male lead for obvious reasons.
Sure, the male lead had a troublesome childhood, doesn't like birthdays, but the fl went on to celebrate his birthday even though they didn't properly know each other and it blew up in her face, typical cliché. There was a lot of things happening but at the same time none at all, it was weird and uninteresting. Still I pushed through, and they got together, then whole office knowing she is his gf, thinking she got her position because of that, blah blah, I stopped right there knowing very well it is not going to get much better.
Honestly, I liked the bestfriend and uncle duo much better, and even other leads too actually had that fire. Every character had that individuality at first, then it seem like it was managed in such a way that it fit the main leads interest and plot more, like they didn't have a life outside. Loved the moms tho.

Slightly tropey but strong female lead!

Review based on available 11/16 eps. Plan to update when series is complete

STORY: Cold and bossy representative of a cooking show is caught not knowing how to cook. He ends up agreeing to take lessons from a female employee who is very skilled in cooking and does not believe in working overtime.

EXECUTION: Casting for this show is great. First time seeing the FL and I think she fits the role perfectly. Chemistry between the leads is there and works well when the characters are with each other. The music is nicely written, the track fits nicely with what is on screen.

OVERALL: Each episode is ~1.5 hrs long, but I still haven't gotten bored during an episode :) I really appreciate that the FMLs in this show are smart and independent enough to make decisions. The pacing for the second couple is wonderful haha (you'll know by the second ep). Personally not a big fan of the third side couple and find their plot a bit annoying.

Family is Important

Dine is Love is not a drama where's man and woman fell in love, and then a third party came, and they reconciled. This is more than that.

Dine in Love tells about Yu Hao and Su Kelan, how both individual with two different goals, and two different paces of life, got together and decided to pass all the differences.

Although I didn't like Yu Hao's personality during several first episodes, I still watched the next episodes, just because how they presented the food beautifully. And in the end, I fell in love about how this story tells, about Su Kelan who loves her mother more than everything and Yu Hao who loves his carreer. I love how Su Kelan thought that family is everything, because once you lost them, you can't get them back. You can find a new job if you lost them, find a new car if you broke them. But if you lost your loved ones, you'll never had them back.

This story tells about how both of them renconciled their differences. About Yu Hao whom slowly repaired himself, gave Su Kelan what she wanted the most, not what he wanted the most.

A tasty watch.

What got me hooked onto this drama was the use of food. To Chinese people, meals are very important. However, it's not just about the food, it's about the time spent eating together with family, which Su Ke Lan brings up a lot. By sharing a meal, you can have a better understanding of the people around you. Music, visual arts and culinary art is a mean of communication, love and happiness.

The plot is very straightforward: a girl meets a nasty boss and eventually falls in love with him. The boss becomes attracted to her because of her talents and wisdom. Both characters have flaws, and they grow together to become better people.

The best part of the show was episode 14, after that I think the writers were trying to focus more on the relationships of the side characters, but the things that happened between Yu Hao and Su Ke Lan were rather predictable.

Overall, if you were to ask me, I would definitely recommend this drama to someone, especially if they're a foodie. This drama makes me eager to learn how to cook properly and become more thankful for the home cooked meals my parents can provide for me.

Food, Romance & Some Humor

This was a beautiful watch for me, I enjoyed it a lot.
I discovered this Drama on Viki end of July 2022, I was looking for something
to watch that had a romantic fluffy vibe and after reading the synopsis, I started
watching, I recognized the ML(Gao Han Yu) from The King's Avatar and that was the first
time I watched him in a Drama. It was very refreshing to watch him as ML in this drama,
He connects well and know all the angles he is framed in on screen. The FL was new to me
but very received, she acted very well and the two had chemistry. If you are a foodie like me
you will love this show, if you are a hopeless romantic, it will put some spark in your day lol.
Just watch the show and enjoy it. It's a slice of life with a good balance of family, friends
work & romance! It does have an ex girlfriend/boyfriend appearing but it's not dragged with them.

Warm and engaging

This show is such a delight to watch. The makers have taken you to the kitchen of a Chinese household. I love the cooking scenes of the Main leads and how they show the connection between food items and the emotion connected to it. The main lead is so good. The ML(Gao Hanyu) looks really handsome . In one particular party scene, he is wearing black suit and looks breathtakingly handsome in that. The chemistry of main lead warmed my heart and their kissing scenes are so passionate. Often the second lead is not particularly that good but in this show the second lead is really awesome. I liked how they too have got enough screen time and not treated particularly as the second lead. Overall, it has been a great watch and I might consider it watching it again after some time.
