Oh, I am so … mad. What was that ending? You’re telling me the male lead did what was done to him? Sabotaging his partner? Don’t piss me off.

This show is all about stroking and boosting the male ego, it was … definitely something. The female lead was whiny at times, but I could see her determination and will to become a better cook only to be undermined and talked down by all the male cooks who thought they were so much better than her. The male cooks were just misogynistic, not flexible at all, and way too proud for what they’re worth to be honest. The male lead is a guy who has never been told to shut up once in his life, and the second male lead lowkey very much enabled the chaos in the kitchen by being so uninvolved. “The kitchen is the chefs’ territory” – The chef doesn’t pay you your wages though, so the owner of the place should step in when needed.

Bottom line: Every guy in this show had an inferiority complex and needed their egos boosted by the girls only to discredit their female colleagues and treat them like shit, acting like they’ve got the biggest dicks in the kitchen – it was ICKY, and the ending ruined it completely for me. Otherwise, the show could have been cute because the leads did make me giggle despite all the yelling, but the male lead secretly preventing the female lead from going to Italy (and that not being addressed at all??) is just … small dick energy. And the female lead thinking she can’t leave her dad behind for three years? Girl ??? You have a brother??? Are you your dad’s mom? Anyway… the pasta looked good most of the time🍝.
