Culinary Alchemy: Cooking up self discovery with side of food and formulas!

Fermat no Ryori—where culinary arts meet math, two things I'm about as skilled at as a fish on a bicycle. Yet, surprisingly, this quirky blend managed to hook me in with its mix of food and formulas.

Onto the main course—the food and math combo. The series isn't just about cooking up dishes as I expected but it emphasized more about cooking up some self-discovery. Our main leads Gaku and Kai are as complex as a recipe with too many ingredients.
Their attempts to adapt to each other's ways, followed by failures and subsequent self realizations kept me hooked. The narrative emphasizes on the importance of personal growth within any kind of relationship.
Honestly I came here looking for all the food talk (which I did get) but stayed for the stories of those who made it.

While it was an unconventionally tasty and intriguing concept, sometimes it felt forced and a bit gimmicky. And speaking of issues, the pacing was a bit like Swiss cheese—full of gaps. I don't mind a slow-paced drama, but at times it felt a little draggy.

The bromance between Gaku and Kai was the dessert! It was entertaining to watch especially the hug where Gaku comforts Kai. As for the ending, it was happy and melodramatic, but that smile while cooking in the last scene made me swoon.

Overall, the drama serves up a strong premise, with execution as uneven as a lumpy gravy, but with decent acting!
Bon appétit!

Not the type of cooking drama I was expecting

Cooking dramas aren't really my thing but this kept jumping on me every time I opened Netflix so I thought why not? The visuals interested me and I thought it would be good to try something new for once. I do not know why but I was expecting something sweet and feelgood after all my experience with jdramas. Yo, it was a trauma. I was crying like a baby in the last two episodes. And although it has a good ending, kinda, I wasn't ready for this type of ending. But I have to admit that I binge-watched it even tho I knew from the beginning that it was going to be sad. It was written all over (but still subtly) that something was wrong with Kai. The storytelling kept me interested, especially with the hints about Gaku going sideways. I fell in love with these two and I am so happy that it had turned into a sweet bromance in the end. I will probably never watch it again and even tho I complained about the sad stuff I am glad I watched it.
