Good start but somewhere along the way fizzled out.

The start of this show was great. A young baby faced cutiepie Shengnan and manly Lu Jin had great instant chemistry from the start. But along the way the story telling lost its momentum and the show faded into being a run-of-the-mill boring cacophony.
The second couple also seemed meh and not worth to be emotionally invested. The last act of family discord and brothers fighting actually took show in wholly unsatisfying kind of mode.
The scenes of food being prepared were the best scenes in this drama. Never a cooking drama was so yummy and delicious. But by 12-13th episodes there were no food scenes to be seen anymore. It felt like the drama lost an important cast member.
So all in all it left me unsatisfied and irritated. The blame lies squarely on shoddy screenwriting. I mean you have two such charismatic actors and yet you managed to make it boring.
