A lot of gaps & unfulfilled potential

The storyline was weak & had gaps.It didn't utilize the full talent of the cast & we didn't really see a lot of dynamic roles nor extensive & significant use of different range of emotions.The casting was truly genius but the storyline dissapointed.We couldn't really connect much with the characters as all of them to a certain point were portrayed as deceitful & involved in the power struggle.I wish they could've have taken more time to truly think about the main characters' love story as it felt like it wasn't really well thoughtout. The food and how it was prepared and how it originated was really fascinating and was the only upside of the show for me.Overall i would love another drama focusing on the two main charactors and their lovestory which we couldn't really see in the Story of Yanxi palace.
