Strong ML and FL, a pretty haters to lovers, I absolutely loved i!

I started this drama without many expectations and ended up falling in love with Shen Du haha, I loved how it showed the main plots of the story from the beginning, and the cases throughout the drama too, which brought us closer to the main couple and still managed to be almost all connected to the main plot of the villain, not straying too far from the story.

I doubted almost everyone a lot at the beginning lol, but I already suspected who the real villain was, I won't say it here because this is a spoiler-free review, but the way the secondary characters got involved, the plots of the castle and the empress, everything was very well presented, in fact this is one of the few dramas in which I like the empress/emperor haha.

Shen Du seemed cold and closed off at first, but the way the story gradually showed his relationship with the female lead was perfect. He didn't just hate her today and wake up loving her the next day. The relationship gradually developed, as did their feelings. I loved the scenes of him being jealous but not admitting it, lol. Especially after they fell in love and admitted it. Aaaah, I fell in love. He was so protective of her. They were a wonderful and intelligent couple, also working together on cases.

I won't say much about Lai Luo, but I simply hated him from his first appearance. The guy managed to be unbearable, annoying, arrogant, paranoid, everything bad. I was angry with him from the beginning to the end, lol.

A really great drama, I really recommend it.

Cute and light romance with a real manly

I watched this drama in two days basically, to take a break from the more complex plot dramas that I'm watching, the story is good, that typical cliché of rich man and poor girl with the relative against because of social status, but one thing that Dating in the Kitchen did very well and differently from others that have this same story is that the rich protagonist did not give in to his mother's wishes and separated from the female lead just because his parents were against it, He did justice to the role of an older man, because if there's one thing that makes me anxious, it's when I see parents controlling their 30-year-old son/daughter in the dramas.

The secondary couple didn't really captivate me this time to be honest, but the main couple, WHAT A COUPLE, they delivered cuteness, chemistry, I fell in love with this actor, a true manly man, attractive and acts very well, Zhao, as always, rocks in the roles she plays. I was just bothered by this male lead's brother appearing out of nowhere and being a complete asshole for the main couple, But with the exception of that, it's a light and enjoyable drama to watch when you want to see something less complicated, quick, a break from the crazy plots and stories full of twists, angst and drama of historical Cdramas haha.

It had so much potential, but...

I don't know what happened with this drama, it started SO good, introducing us more deeply not only to the main couple, but also to the firefighters, their life stories and family, making us laugh with them, cry, made us get attached to each of them and see their evolution since the first episode. even Lou Ming, a character I started hating, managed to make me like him over at a certain point in the drama.

The main couple's relationship was wonderful at the beginning until a certain point in the drama, but from the moment she became famous I feel like it lost a LOT of fun to watch, things became monotonous, the two couldn't even see each other properly like before, interact like before, it seems that when it got around episode 30 things became the same, I confess that I watched the last 10 episodes in 2x velocity, They have great chemistry together, they are very cute, but unfortunately, I don't know how a great drama managed to become boring and repetitive in the final episodes.

about the end, it was left with an open interpretation, I myself, didn't interpret it as if he had died, but rather as if he just wasn't there, and rather sacrificing himself like a firefighter to save lifes while she was there, and that she understood it, BUUT still the ending was very open and incomplete, it could have been MUCH better.

Unfortunately a drama that I started rating as a 9/10, ended as a 7/10 to be generous.

This was a trully drama, a must watch!

It was my first historical drama. I confess that I was a little hesitant to watch it because of the number of episodes and because I didn't like the story, but it surprised me SO MUCH! I can already say in advance that I recommend it to anyone who is still in doubt about whether or not to watch this drama: Just do it.

The main couple delivered everything, especially the chemistry, the way Ling Buyi looked at Shaoshang, the way their feelings evolved over time, the scenes of the two together. I loved every part of this couple, except the part where they had some misunderstanding or were separated. I suffered with them in that part lol.

Shaoshang was an extraordinary character. I loved her from the beginning! Iconic, she never bowed her head to anyone, she showed herself to be strong, a big troublemaker LOL. I laughed so much with Lusi's acting in this drama. The best part of all was that Shaoshang wasn't just an "annoying" character. We could see her maturing as time and episodes went by, her attitude changing, and they managed to do this without ruining the essence of the character, which I thought was incredible.

Shaoshang's parents and family: At first I hated them all, her grandmother, her mother, but over time we began to understand her mother's point of view and concerns, why she acted that way. She loved Shaoshang and wanted to protect her. Over time, her own mother realized how much Shaoshang had matured and changed. As for her grandmother, even she changed too. She stopped being an insufferable character and had her "redemption" too. I usually don't like the involvement of the protagonists' families in the drama, but in the case of LLTG, they added a lot to the story without it being boring or bothersome.

The villains were very well written, with good intentions, the plots throughout the story, the fight scenes were great too.

What impressed me the most was that this was the first time I saw a good royal family that was in favor of the main couple lol (with the exception of some jealous princesses lmao), I simply LOVED the emperor and his two wives, the way he saw Ling Buyi as a son, and tried to bring him together with Shaoshang lol, I laughed so hard in some parts.

Ling Buyi managed to convey the true image of a cold and respected general, with traumas from the past, secrets that we discover over time with him, and a plot that... wow... left me speechless lol, I just loved the change in his expression when he was furious, jealous, being affectionate with Shaoshang, his acting was simply impeccable.

I was just a little sad because I expected at least one more final episode, it was a satisfactory ending, but a little rushed in my opinion, they could have done things more slowly, after all they went through so much suffering, and when they finally get to their happy end, everything is so rushed? That's the only reason I gave it a 9.5/10, except for that, everything was perfect.

This is a masterpiece!! It deserves a higher note ❤️❤️

I almost stopped watching this drama because of the comments and reviews, but I'm glad I didn't listen and decided to make my own conclusions, so there goes a little my opinion, I hope it helps you to decide if you watch it or not.

I don't know why so many people don't like it, its a masterpice, the main couple have an amazing chemistry, they are sooo cute together, like omg, I was all the time smiling like a children, my cheeks was hurting because of the amount of the time this drama made me smile. The FL have personality and don't just deppends of the ML all of the time, she goes after her personal and professional goals too , It's a well-balanced drama between drama, action scenes, and comedy to make it lighter too, also the act of the male lead and female lead are just so good, trust me.

The secondary couple has been wonderful together so far, they are really cute and I loved their development together. Willian Chan's smile is another BIG reason for you to watch it, it's simply perfect too, what a beautiful actor uff I'm in love.

The OSTS of this drama?? PERFECT, one of the most beautiful I've heard in Cdramas.

I just loved this, the chemistry, the action scenes, the emotional ones too, I saw some reviews and comments talking bad about the drama because of the kisses, yes, it's not that hot kisses that we normally see in another dramas, but it's also cute, it's not a reason to give the drama a lower rating.

10/10 for me, so far one of the best dramas in this firefighter genre that I watched.

WHAT A MASTERPIECE!! Deserves SO MUCH more recognization!

I never thought I would start watching this drama and like it, but I was totally surprised, it became one of my favorites, if you like Vincenzo, this drama is totally for you, and if you have never watched it and are looking for something similar? Watch Vincenzo haha.

Father Kim is a unique priest, with a secret in his past, he ended up becoming a priest to try to leave the past behind, but this ended up leaving some "marks" on his personality, he likes to take justice into his own hands. It made me laugh a lot during each episode, I never thought I would see a crazy priest, who screams in the middle of mass, screams outside of it, punches others, acts like a gangster sometimes LOL.

An excellent revenge drama without weighing down the script, without leaving a tense atmosphere at all times. It manages to balance very well between action, comedy, moments of tension and MORE comedy lol.

The secondary characters that end up becoming the priest's "gang" are wonderful too, well developed, unique, and end up becoming irreplaceable over time.

Just watch this with an open mind and heart and I guarantee you will be very surprised, The Fiery Priest is proof that a drama does not need romance to be good, and I am a person who loves romance and rarely watches anything without romance, definitely a 10/10 for me.
