................................................................

Both are set in a historical royal kitchen with delicious-looking food, and both feature a romance (gender inverted) between a poor chef and a royal.

Both dramas are set in the palace in historical times, with an emperor ML and a FL who is very talented in cooking. Both are lighter, enjoyable dramas.

Despite the different settings, both are historical and have similar elements - the ML is in a position of higher power, the FL is a servant who cooks for him and his family, and the two initially have a bickering relationship.

Similar story of a female chef who climbs through the ranks because of her skill and wit. Excellent use of food cinematography
