In the city of Wu Xia, the restaurant Tian Xiang is renowned for its exquisite dishes, each uniquely tied to a story, moral lesson, or reflection on human nature. Tian Xiang is run by talented chef Zhu Cheng Bi alongside her partner, accountant Chang Qing. While the two often bicker, they've survived numerous challenges together that brought them even closer. However, things take a dark turn when the prince of the realm forces Cheng Bi to create a dish that will grant him immortality. In the process, she transforms into a Taotie – a mythical creature with an insatiable appetite that threatens to destroy the entire city. Can Chang Qing find Cheng Bi's heart inside the monster and help save Wu Xia? (Source: Viki) ~~ Adaptef from the web novel "Taotie Ji" (饕餮记) by Yin Yu (殷羽). Edit Translation

A Story of Emotions and Life Lessons

This drama has done something for me. It has proven (to me) a bit of a formula for what a show needs to have to be a 10/10 FOR ME.

-Multiple storylines
-People that are written like REAL people - (not perfect people, not idealized people, but nitty gritty, do the wrong thing, say yes when they mean no, REAL people)
-Romance that is present throughout but is not the major focus
-Love "tri"angles that are dirty and messy and emotional are a plus

-This show is long.
-This show takes a LOT of detours NOT focusing on the "Main" plot, most of it consists of side plots
-This show's ML is VERY VERY VERY rigid in his beliefs and this is often at the expense of his relationship with the FL.
-FL does NOT explain herself to ANYONE until after the fact (and then only sometimes)

Ultimately, because the show focuses so much on the side stories, the main story does fall to the background with the thread popping up again every few episodes to move something forward an inch. What this means though is that if you DON'T like the side stories the show will fall flat.

Personally, I think the first was the weakest but with each subsequent one I slowly got more invested. I had tears in my eyes by the end.

Do you like/ not mind:
angst?
misunderstandings and doubts?
slowest of snail romance?
Low/no physical intimacy
older cgi, costumes, hairstyles/ wigs

---
Fully biased 10/10
Unbiased... 7.5 or 8 probaby

Good drama

Restoran Tian Xiang ini dikelola oleh koki berbakat Zhou Cheng Bi dan rekannya, ahli akuntan bernama Chang Qing.

Meskipun keduanya sering bertengkar, tetapi keduanya telah berhasil melewati banyak tantangan bersama yang membuat mereka semakin dekat.

Suatu hari, Pangeran kerajaan memaksa Cheng Bi untuk membuatkan hidangan yang akan memberinya umur abadi.

Dalam proses pembuatannya, Zhou Cheng Bi berubah menjadi Taotie – monster mistis mengerikan dengan nafsu makan yang tak terpuaskan hingga mengancam untuk menghancurkan seluruh kota.
