I didn't expect to like this drama as much as I did lol. I originally watched this drama because I was bored and waiting for Song of Glory to come out but I had no choice but to finish this drama and I forgot about SOG.

Story: These 36 episodes are the most sweet and kind and just peaceful episodes (even when there are problems, the sweetness outweighs the negatives). This drama is very different from other dramas in my opinion bc we typically see wuxia and xianxia and harem palace dramas where everything is over complicated and problems are made worse instead of resolving them. This drama focuses on normal people and cooking lol. These everyday people have similar problems and worries like us making it easier to relate to them. Also, the marriage in this drama is to die for. Unlike other dramas that focus on the romance starting with marriage or ending with marriage, this drama has marriage right in the middle of the story which is very refreshing to see. We get to see a typically sweet romance play out from when the couple were single to being married without much complications (literally chef's kiss). This drama in my opinion is dragged out but not specifically for the plot, just for the cooking scene so if you're a fan of food and cooking, then it won't bother you so much but the cooking/food scenes are quite long. The plot itself is simple and honestly refreshing after watching a lot of like problematic sad complicated dramas.

Characters: The characters are freaking amazing. The ML and FL compliment each other so well as husband and wife (it makes me want to get married; if my husband is not like the ML character - I don't want him lol). The FL is nice but not a pushover and she's smart and resonant and honestly never seen such a well developed character. There are so many dramas that I've watched where if the FL was played like this FL, those dramas would be so much better. The side characters are likable as well except for the annoying ones that are put to annoy us but the problems are resolved quickly so it's not overwhelming. I freaking love all the husbands in this drama like the husbands are literally 12/10. The big sister and the mother in law were great characters as well. At first I didn't like how aggressive they were but they grew on me as I continue watching. There isn't much character development but like it's more on hoe each character acts as individual that makes the drama likable.

Acting: The FL and ML's acting was not bad considering I've never seen them before (I think they're new) but as leads, I think they have a lot of potential. However, I would definitely say that the ML is a little stiff but I guess his character is stiff so it makes sense. The FL is cute and bossy when she needs to be. She portrayed this role perfectly in my eyes I think that she really gives off the vibe of being nice doesn't mean being easy. The supporting cast were good and each had their own personality which I liked. The annoying people were great bc they were so annoying. I really like the FL's apprentice, especially when she was crying - her tears were very real and I genuinely felt bad for her.

Cinematography: The camera angles is freaking amazing. Every time I watch this drama, I'm hungry because the way they filmed the food is appetizing and interesting. The fight scenes were mediocre but again this is a food drama so I didn't really mind. The majority of the drama was well lit and bright which I am a fan of and I also liked the transition from each scene. There wasn't really like awkward transitions where you miss like a bit of the story. However, I don't like how whenever the leads kiss, they would zoom out and make it out of focus like I want to see them kiss bruh lol.

Overall: I genuinely liked this drama and if you're a foodie that likes simplistic dramas then definitely go for it and watch this drama.
