It's a novel adapted into drama..not
100% copy but the essence of cooking and the attitude of the leads was preserved..
IT IS NOT A FLUFFY ROMANCE..
Not cringey one too
DON'T COMPARE WITH OTHER DRAMAS THAT HAS COOKING

We have a handsome male lead who can cook and is a person who is perfect in balancing ingredients to bring out happiness to those who eat..he has something happening to him which is dangerous to his career and to his child the restaurant..so he is in search of an person who can fill his deficiency and lo!
He finds the FL who has something special , who is far more than a precious blessing to him who can full fill his deficiency also is persistence in her goal...
So he chooses her as an apprentice by default and enter a cooking competition..so that he can keep her by his side...
The cooking scene where eye catching and sumptuous to watch, even the advice being given for free on the technic , method and ingredients was useful.
Then the evil people with evil intentions who destroy everything that they cannot possess..
There were many live stories each having their own difference..

What I liked is
Cooking
Cooking and
Dishes and plating
The relationship between the two brothers..
The mentor and apprentice dynamics..
The support and belief in each other between the leads.. was awesome.
the FL was so strong support to the ML in times of Distress, and how the ML completely assimilated her into his life and was encouraging her even his personality changed in viewing others...
There were three other love stories building up
But none of them were fluffy but growing up and changing the bad attitude,

What I hated ...or
100 % audience did not like ....or
were disappointed In was...
the evil doers being left unpunished or were left Scot free..
Which is the reason why the drama rating went down after airing of the last episode.
I HATED that...
And i believe 99.98% of audience were disappointed in that type of each.
