The episodes from 20 to 30 were somewhat boring.

In-Depth Analysis

These 36 episodes are the sweetest, kindest and simply serene episodes (in any event, when there are issues, the pleasantness offsets the negatives). This dramatization is altogether different from other shows as I would like to think because we regularly see wuxia and xianxia and a group of royal residence dramatizations where everything is over convoluted and issues are exacerbated as opposed to settling them. This drama centres around typical individuals and cooking haha. These regular individuals have daily issues and stress like us, making it simpler to identify with them. Additionally, the marriage in this show is beyond words. Not at all like other shows that focus on the sentiment of love beginning with marriage or finishing with marriage, this drama has marriage squarely in the centre of the story which is exceptionally invigorating to see. We get to see an ordinarily sweet romance work out from when they both were single to being hitched without a lot of confusion (chef’s kiss). This drama as I would see it, is dragged out, yet not explicitly for the plot, only for the cooking scenes, so on the off chances if you love food and cooking, then, it won’t trouble you so much, however the cooking scenes are very long. The actual plot is straightforward and truly refreshing after watching a ton of tricky, confounding shows.

Star Power

The characters are amazing. The ML and FL praise each other so particularly well as a couple (it makes me want to get hitched; in the event that my better half isn’t similar to the ML character – I don’t want him haha). The FL is great yet not a sucker and she’s savvy and resounding and really never seen such a well-written and created character. There are countless shows that I’ve watched where if the FL was played like this FL, those dramas would be such a great deal better. The side characters are also amiable aside from the irritating ones that are put to disturb us, however, the issues are settled quickly so it’s not overpowering. I absolutely adore the husbands in this drama, like they are all, in a real sense, 12/10.

The elder sibling and the mother-in-law were incredible characters as well. At first, I would rather avoid how forceful they were, with time they grew on me as I kept watching. There isn’t a lot of character development yet, like it’s more on how each character goes about as an individual, and that makes the drama likable.

The FL and ML’s acting was not terrible considering I’ve never seen them (I believe they’re new), however as leads, I think they have a great deal of potential. I would say that the ML is a little stiff but I think his character is stiff so it checks out. The FL is adorable and bossy when she should be. She depicted this job entirely in my eyes I imagine that she truly radiates the energy that says being nice doesn’t mean being easy. The supporting cast was great and each had their own character which I preferred. The irritating individuals were incredible because they were so irritating. I truly like the FL’s disciple, particularly when she was crying – her tears were real and I truly felt terrible for her.

Overall Opinion

I truly preferred this show and if you’re a foodie who likes oversimplified dramas, then most certainly take the plunge and watch this drama.
