He may be the antagonist but I really liked him
His expression here …LOL …. “Cut”
tbh he reminds me of LSY sometimes
loved the short Choon Seung and Eun Jae 😆
It’s actually quite well-written; everyone has a purpose in the story, and there are fairly realistic character arcs. Also, I always like dramas with a found-family theme.
Don’t expect a deep and poignant story from just 10 episodes, this is literally a drama meant to be watched comfortably. It might be a bit dragging in the middle, but—at least for me—I can still follow it until the end.
No unnecessary drama and romance; just people who love cooking in different ways. Good job!
(And I just realized the Lovely Jogger reference is from Lovely Runner. From Sunjae to Eunjae. 🤣 And how Chunseung asked Eunjae’s high school and suddenly feel nostalgic, lol. 🤣)
Weak Hero reference was epic ! LOL
Episode 10
SPOILER ALERT
This was a nice drama. Just something light…not sure if it was because of the ending but it felt…light and happy…I forgot all the things that made me mad.
The journey was a pleasant one…I did enjoy this drama. Kudos to all the great actors!
Episode 9
SPOILER ALERT
I knew that Diamant looked familiar…I forgot to comment that last week! He was really that father of the bride who came to Jungjae…I thought he just resemble with the Diamant people who went to Motto. It was a nice surprise that Jungjae got recognition they deserve without even trying…unlike Motto who stole Yeon Joo’s recipe.
Why can’t the Han brothers stand up to their Mother? They are both so exhausted with the competition their two-faced mother keeps on starting…it never ends…
Pause (Ep. 9)
These two acting like they didn’t stole anything, like they earned that 3 stars through their hard work…ARGHHHH YEOL BADA!
it served its purpose, somewhat entertaining but very forgettable.
and we get to gawk at go minsi. the mother character is good actress.
A decent fluffy drama with no real tension…the romance was OK but not really very strong…
Overall a non offensive light drama that was kinda watchable….
The cameo of the ML of “LOVELY JOGGER” aka Park Ji Hoon and Choon Seung asking him “Which high school did you go to?” in short the the reference of Weak Hero S2….was hilarious.
hilarious, they try to write a story with a haute cuisine theme, but cant help but cheapen it with a final face off.
someone pls cane her for her own good.
with mother like this, its a miracle the brothers didnt turn out any worse than they are. she is planning hard to not have either sons by her side when she is old and decrepit.
why even show the temple, what has her buddhist upbringing brought to her character? with onlu ten episodes, they could have focused more on the main plot.
EPISODE 9 EPISODE 9 EPISODE 9
The kid giving stuffed animal away was cute and all but REALLY South Korea?!?! Kid throwing a temper tantrum because she doesn’t want to eat veggies but wants cake??? And you GIVE HER THE CAKE!!?? GTFO of here!!! 🤣
My girls are 12 and 9. My eldest is a voracious reader and she’s been watching some of the laid back dramas I deem ok for little more than a year now. She goes “Dad, would that have worked on you if I tried it?” I just turned my head and looked at her.🤔She’s looking at me. 😐 Couldn’t help but snicker. Told her it depends on which vegetable it was. We had good laugh, I wouldn’t make them eat veggies i wouldn’t eat. Asparagus, brussel sprouts, and tomatoes. 🤮
Why would he even dare try this blind cook off with no word from FL?
That kid’s tantrum…oh that won’t work for me…
I tell my daughters “One meal won’t kill you, so if you don’t want to eat then go ahead and starve!”.
I do make what they like but when I make what I like they have to eat…if they don’t want to eat…well that scene is rare in our house coz they grew up eating veggies…there just some that they don’t eat…like the radish in kimchi…bell peppers in pizza…but most of the local (common) veggies in my country they eat.
He is forgiven way too fast, idk
glad ml got caught out by brother at the end. he waited too long, no conviction to tell the truth. on the other hand, of these chefs are so possessive about their recipes, treat them like open source software, and be happy people like their work.
the fat worm guy is as unapologetic as ml. a show about bad action without consequences. nice.
the 2nds arent funny today.
one expected a denser story with more stuff happening at ten episodes. as it is, not even enough story for ten, they could have condensed it to a six eps show effing picnic.
Episode 8
That two-faced Mother of the Han brothers is such a b*tch! She makes both her sons compete for Hansang Group…but she obviously favors Beom Woo than the eldest.
Why can’t they just buy Yeon Joo’s recipe? Though of course she wont sell it…but they don’t have to close her restaurant… they’re so ruthless!
Even that Chef Jang…yes they used to “steal” recipes by buying off the restaurant…but she used to prepare and research and add her touch to those recipes…how can she celebrate like she developed the recipe to her own when she copied the procedure word for word? The hypocrisy…
Its was really so frustrating to see Beom Woo hesitate…now he has to face of losing Yeon Joo…his family and friends…and their restaurant.
Some of this doesn’t make sense…i get they could take Arsonist guys recipes and close his restaurant because they owned them but how is he supposed to close her restaurant when they don’t own it??
Even if they bought the building and kicked her out they still wouldnt own the restaurant so the threat at the end to block Yeon Joo from working in the industry is toothless……if you are your own boss its impossible for her to block Yeon Joo plus i`m sure Le Mirir would probably take her back anyway….
He should have told her right away instead of dilly dallying. Now he has a lot of explaining to do. SMH
He has always been blunt and straightforward so it was really frustrating to see him hold back to something he should’ve come clean to her since they were in Sapporo.
I got all the feels wn she kissed just to break her heart 😔😔😔
Episode 7
Hmm I was actually so bored with this episode… honestly I forwarded most of it…even the main characters’ scenes.
Maybe it’s because the ML is still haven’t confessed his real reason for coming there… I’m actually anxious…and it seems ep. 8 will the conflict and might be the break up episode…then next week will be the finale.
What the hell this comment section looks very odd and bad
Why they changed it?
They didn’t change it. It’s because Disqus has new rules, so they blocked all comments. Admins created this section so we can comment on new episodes. It would be great if they put smth like this on Connect Here page, so we can chat with admins.
Episode 6
Sorry I can’t find the spoiler cover icon so,
SPOILER ALERT
Why is that insecure Chef wants Jungjae’s recipes? Isn’t she too prideful to be resorting to that?
Why did the FL went with that ex-boyfriend? Before the last scene…I was already skeptical about that ex (I still love Yoo Yeon Suk though 😁🥰..This trip is not just about their Master/Teacher… it’s also about that Murir…I think he was scouting Chef Mo coz he’s coming back to Korea.
Ĺove this new comment section, btw.
Idky I am watching this one. Clueless FL, Betaflix ML. You know it’ll end with “Yes Ma’am”.
We have to label our comments now…coz this comment section is like a thread now…
Ep. 1
Well that was something old school…these past few years I choose what to watch, unlike before that I literally have like 2 or 3 on-going dramas episodes that I complete my week…in short I have dramas (episodes) to watch 7 days a week. So seeing the FL’s passion and dedication in her cooking…I haven’t seen a cooking/food drama like this since…sorry I forgot… maybe the last I recall was Mr. Queen? (which food was like shown in the early episodes). If there’s a food drama like this that I may have missed watching or I have not watched… please do tell Chingus!
although the story ultimately heads towards a happy ending very shortly. ml’s original goal to steal the recipes is just too much to overlook – its not some oversight or careless mistake, but bad intention. doesnt seem right without much redemption from his part.
OK so the recipes have been taken not really a major issue though to the FL i mean its not like her restaurant and the other one compete against each other….
I love this series, many cliches but not boring at all. I have only one complain tho, may be its just me but it feels as though FL was prohobited from making facial expressions. she looks uncomfortable to smile, in some scenes her face seems frozen.
