For the Gastronomes
The food shots captured in this show is just amazing. I went for the culinary part of it but I stayed for the love story. I like the ML and FL’s chemistry, they balance each other out very well. Some may say that their romance was a slow burn, but I think it was just the right pace for the story line. I would have loved more romantic scenes, tho. Almost each episode made me hungry and I learned many new things about food. This show is worth watching; I got so hooked that I didn’t even notice that it was 40 episodes!Was this review helpful to you?

What did I just watch
The only saving grace this show had for me was Liz and Kyro; I know people are not fond of them but I see them in a different light. They helped each other through their dark times and I liked that. Oh also, Badz’s bangin’ body.What I didn’t like about this drama was the cheating and prostitution involved, and how it was almost unrecognized. *trigger warning* this show contains attempted rape and abuse towards women.
*SPOILER ALERT*
The character I hate the most was the damn sister (Bonne) who sold off her loving brother (Badz) to BFR. I don’t wanna spoil it, but that was pretty unforgivable what she did.
Smile’s character annoyed me from begging to end - her nuances are so irritating that I had to skip thru her scenes. I only liked her in the last episode. I don’t see her as bubbly and happy but rather as a third party who would not stop getting on my nerves.
I almost dropped this show but I just wanted to see how Kyro’s love story would end.
