Watch a few clip on YouTube. The scene looks appetizing. Haha... Turn out Zhang Miao Yi. Let's watch...

This drama is a few dramas that MDL summary not really quite on point with the real drama story. Let's discuss drama...

Baichuan City's is famous as a gourmet city & their top chef are controlled by Jiang's family. In the Baichuan City there're 7 knives that determine or mark their 7 top chef. That knives given to 7 families as their inheritance for their successor. That's the rule of Baichuan City chef for 200 years. But because of that's rule, the other chef or restaurant without the knives were suppressed. In order to have future, the young chef can challenge the top chef to snatch the knives from the top chef, and the loser will get out from the town.

So, that's the first mistake MDL made. It's not the Knife nation’s cooks, but only Baichuan City rule. Nothing in the drama indicate this is nation rule.

Now come the story of our ML, Jiang Jie (JJ) & FL, Li Nai (LN). JJ is a talented young chef, that's already challenge most of the knives owner. When the story start, he already took several of the knives & start to challenge the owner of the next knife. Which is the teacher of our FL. That's when their journey start to intertwine.

LN is a young apprentice chef, who has a special ability. Her nose is sharper than most people. She can smell the ingredient of something, no matter how soft the smell is. in short. LN's teacher lose to JJ & LN determine to take revenge and restore her teacher honor by taking the knife back from JJ. With that plan in mind, LN start to work at JJ's kitchen & try to infiltrate JJ’s inner circle. And just really realize how far her skill gap from JJ. But LN not give up & still sharpen her skill to face JJ one day.

That's the 2nd mistake. JJ not work in hotel’s kitchen. He own his own restaurant...

When the story rolling, we find out the reason why JJ try to collect all the knives from the families & what's his plan after collecting all that. And with that we also can see the dirty and the politic behind 7 families that rule Baichuan City. So how will the story evolve in the end...? Who will eventually win between JJ & LN...?

The last mistake. JJ never really secretly hungers for a showdown against an older chef whose skills are still legendary. But he has bigger goal...

That's pretty much the story. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The interesting cooking battle
+ JJ is a good man. Even though he's first portray as cruel or cold when took all the knives from the previous owner, but yeah what he said is true. Nothing more fair than took the knife by cooking battle.
+ The interesting background story of JJ & LN.

What I don't like:
- The unnecessary separation between JJ & LN
- The not so clear of other character, like the stupid Xi Jiang Yue (JY). When JJ lose JY also lose his job. But instead stay together with JJ to facing the world, JY instead take a sharp turn & join JJ enemy cause he can't find other job & the enemy help him. That's the stupid things. 1st why why why JY not go to other city or country to search for the job. 2nd when JY turn his face from JJ, he said they're now have different goal, what's the goal is never discuss cause you know he's not the ML. Ugh....

Overall this quite good story to be watched.
