Comedy-Fantasy genre usually refreshing, but this one takes it to another level! Yaoyao who brought modern words and foreign language to the past every now and then was one of the plus point I love about this show. She also not an Added also the natural acting skills of all of the important character and also not cheap looking settings.
Con:
The death of the seemingly main supporting character at the middle of the show and the change of the setting and main supporting character made me feel like it suppose to be 2 season story instead of 1 long show.

Annoying Female lead
the story makes me don't want to stop watching and keep on wanting to know whats next. However, in every episode i just felt that the female lead is annoying. Super annoying.. the male is calm i like the character. It's like i feel like to punch that female lead when she is selfish and thought she knows everything she do and dangered her self & the male lead. Im writing this review just want to express my feeling when i watch every episode. The female lead is superrrrrrrr annoying and play hard to get... hmmmmmmmmWas this review helpful to you?
it has most the similarities to eternal love which make it more uninteresting may be people like it cause eternal love is my also favorite but when drama not stand out in anything(new/unexpected) and became shadow of any drama then whats the point to give your valuable time to it
in my opinion its nice drama but not worth 56 episodes, there is not any extraordinary story line..............................by watching this drama people can judge itself thats better idea cause i've mixed feeling may be i'm watching asian dramas for long time so i'm familiar to dramas situations when it comes to compare any drama
it could be better if i haven't watch any similar drama before the it might be fresh for me and may be my opinion is different or better than this...

Would've been better w/o the 1st Half + Unexpected Unconditional Love & Trust from Main Leads.
Before I even start with my reaction I just wanna give a crucial advice to anyone who's planning to watch this drama.[!!!] IF you ever felt so done and tired of this drama during the first 25+ episodes just stick a tiny bit longer cause its second half have all the best this drama has to offer.
So lemme start cause I'm itching to list down my thoughts, complains and opinions about this drama.
First thing first, the unnecessary 1st half of this drama ruined everything for me. I would say that this drama is much better off without it. That part is a combination of all the trash you could ever incorporate to make a drama extremely annoying and bad. If given a chance I would definitely skip most of it and only watch the good portion of it — Like, Hell~!! Even the main leads are irritating on that part and just thinking how badly written that was infuriates me. I was also quite impressed on how bearing I am to actually stay despite all those moments I almost gave up on this piece, yet managed to get back by keeping a positive mindset of its redemption parts... and I must say it didn't disappoint one bit.
Second, Although this drama may look overly 'clichè' but NO WORRIES this drama is a complete contradictory of what it may seemed and looked like. In fact, this drama surprised me on how opposite the story outcomes are in comparrison to all the dramas I have watched so far and I must say that it made this drama completely different and has even become its saving grace overall. (P.S. All of those are on 2nd half, so you'll better hang tight)
Third and Last will fall directly towards the entirety of the drama itself. It was both a pleasure and depressing to watch this drama overall. Imagine having to bear with 28+ episodes just to get to the exciting part was real mad and insane however I wanna guarantee everyone that you'll surely experience the redemption arc of this story right after reaching and passing that huge-long slump.
P.S. The fighting scenes are executed really well and the comical moments are really fun to watch.
Story - 8.5, I'm still hesitant even at this point but I can never give it any higher done this. Half of this drama is trash and it felt like that trashy part was set up mainly to make the protagonists look terrible and to showcase the main villain's evil plans. It was completely useless and non-sensical no matter how much I think of it cause this drama can easily go on without those.
Acting/Cast - 10, This section of the drama is something I'm extremely certain of. Despite all the negative opinions I have towards the drama and story itself; I must say that the actors who acted in this drama extracted all their emotions and expertise in portraying and giving life to their respective characters. Compliments and High praises.
Music - 8.5, Again, saved by the sudden BGM inserts at the latter part of the drama. Honestly, the BGMs are so random and doesn't fit the mood and scenes of the drama 2/3 of the time. Thank god they use better songs during the remaining 15+ episodes that helped to save this section for me.
Rewatch Value - 8.5, I may seemed insane but I wanna clarify that I would rewatch it while scanning through the important scenes only and will continue to the 2nd half right away after enjoying some of those nice scenes.
Overall - 8.5, I still feel like it can go up to 9 but after coming this far and looking back at my scores made me decide that this is just right. Considering how they fucked and messed up HALF of this drama is enough to justify my rating. But after all those mess I assure everyone that this drama has 'Good-to-Great' moments moving forward.

I actually was really enjoying this, until the subtitles stopped at episode 20. Up until that point this drama was quirky, fun and hilarious. Characters were likable and the odd nature of Xia Chun Yu and Ye Jia Yao relationship, suddenly getting married but then slowly falling in love, made for an excellent dynamic. But then when the subs stopped so I peeked into the next few episodes to see what would come up next. Boy was I shocked. Yes, I was not expecting a full on bloodbath to happen. And then out of nowhere the chef (Ye Jia Yao) looses her sense of taste? What??? I wanted to know what happened but at the same time I was really put off by the changes, especially for such a silly light-hearted drama.
I looked into it later and judging from the last episodes, I think it still manages to pull off a happy ending. I haven't picked this up after what happened, even though I think the subs are in now. Perhaps one day.

Childish play. Dropped
In my opinion, this drama series had way too many episodes - a total of 56. The series was based on a time-travel storyline, but unfortunately, the main female character was portrayed in a very immature and childish manner, which made it difficult for me to watch. However, I was pleased to see that the series had a happy ending, which is quite rare in time-travel dramasI cannot tolerate inconsistencies in a comedy, especially when it involves inappropriate clothing in a period era. The scriptwriter's modifications to the original book story created a confusing and redundant mess of every genre. The result is a messy drama that I cannot stand. Additionally, the childish and Lolita-like voice and behavior are my pet peeve.
Cute character played by Zhao Lu Si in 2017, aired in 2018. Very little food-oriented. The title is misleading.
As clearly stated in my profile, I always spoil myself before investing my precious time in a drama. I make sure to watch the last few minutes of the final episode to ensure that the ending will be satisfactory. So, it's true that I dropped the show, but I already knew how it would end. And it was the only thing that saved this drama: the happy ending with the main couple. Rarity with time travel and for a change, she came back in his era. Kudos for that! Based on only this, a 4 rating is not only appropriate but also justifiable, instead of a lower rating.
Oh well. I tried.

annoying female lead
If you’re looking for a fun, lighthearted historical romcom, this isn’t it. But what really made me drop this drama was because of the female lead’s character. Don’t get me wrong, the actress did amazing at portraying the character BUT I was so annoyed at her character. I tried giving this drama more chances because I see good reviews about it and about how everything will make sense in the end.However, I guess I just don’t have the patience to deal with the female lead’s bratty attitude. It was cute in the beginning and I took the drama as lightheartedly as she did. I understand that she treats it like a trip to ancient China, but I really can’t stand some of her actions. Yeah, sure, it’s watchable for the first 3 episodes or so but it just starts getting annoying. I thought about dropping it at episode 8, but I figured I should at least make it to episode 10. I really tried to keep going with it, and I guess her character is written that way to add more drama and it’s how the story will continue but seriously???? I appreciate the idea of her being independent and realizing love isn’t everything, but come on can she at least be made likable in other senses too? I don’t understand how people get over her attitude or perhaps I’m being too harsh and impatient.
Ok before this whole review turns into a rant about the female lead, I’d like to say that the soundtrack is good. Additionally, there are some scenes where she cooks cool dishes and it’s interesting to see how she creates modern tools to help her in the kitchen using what she has lying around. Her outfits were cute, but sometimes they were inappropriate for the current period regardless if she’s a “modern 21st century” woman or not.
ANYWAY, if you made it this far in my rant, do watch it if you have the patience and you’re ready for something deeper than a mere romcom. Just go into it without taking anything too seriously and I think you’ll be able to fare better than I.

Trashy Product, period!
This drama is such a trashy product.Not worth even for free.
Made by amateurs only.
Nothing positive can be mentioned.
Uff, thank God I can drop it.
______________________________________________
1.5 points and I am super generous just because the time travel and cooking could have really good potential. But they just screw it successfully.
FL is annoying and stupid. The actress looks so not fitting into it, so fake.
ML can be watchable if he takes off his clothes. The rest of the crew, they don't even worth your attention. What were all thinking by going into such a bad project...

Wth is that supposed to be?
I had to drop this Drama after only 7 Episodes because the whole thing was just ridiculously stupid. I know, this is Comedy but still most of the so called "funny" scenes ended up being silly, embarrassing and totally annoying. I started to watch this Drama due to the time traveling aspect (I love time traveling) but it couldn't make up for the badly written and stupid story. The characters were okay. From what I've seen there was a chance that both of them could have developed into good characters but the the overly forced, unnatural Comedy and the FL's way too modern and "scandalous" outfits ruined it for me. I have nothing against Comedy if it feels natural and is not over-used and the actor actually has the talent to do it right (like the actor that played Ming Lan's father in Story of Ming Lan). I also understand that the FL comes from modern times and thus all the modern influence but her outfits were too much. Don't get me wrong, they were pretty but absolutely not fit for ancient China. They were way too scandalous for that time and bothered the hell out of me (and where the heck did she get those boots from?). You might enjoy it if you don't care about authenticity and you like light hearted stories, which are not meant to be taken seriously. But if you're like me, who's more into serious stories, don't watch it.Was this review helpful to you?
1SEM EPOILER - Assistido em 2023
No início da série somos apresentados aos protagonistas, e a uma dinâmica estilo "My Sassy Princess", ou seja, a garota perseguindo o garoto. Logo isso muda um pouco, pois há tantos segredos entre eles e tão pouca confiança que qualquer coisa os abala. Diversas mentiras são contadas para encobrir segredos, o que torna o relacionamento instável. Chegou ao ponto de no meio da série eu realmente não ver problema caso os protagonistas resolvessem tomar rumos diferentes, e ficar com pessoas diferentes.Até o meio da série foi bem arrastado de assistir, porém há uma mudança drástica (Não contarei o que ocorre, fique tranquilo), porém, basicamente eles reiniciam (resetam) a série, como se do nada resolvessem começar uma nova série, como se quisessem começar tudo de novo, em outro lugar e com outras pessoas. Em geral isso é péssimo de se ocorrer no meio de uma série, porém, devo dizer que depois disso ESSA série ficou um pouco melhor e mais fluída. Acredito que foi uma boa escolha, por que antes estava muito arrastado.
Ao longo da série a protagonista não fica mais pensando em voltar, e acabei até me esquecendo que ela vinha do futuro, por que não é mais comentado. Então a série acabou se tornando uma série normal de época até chegar ao final e resolverem voltar a falar sobre a viajem no tampo. Em vários momentos ela nos dá exemplos de séries que ela viu, e por isso acaba agindo de forma extremamente inteligente, porém em outros momentos ela é extremamente boba e infantil, mas assumi isso como sendo parte da personalidade dela, e tendo em vista que nem sempre somos o nosso 100%.
SOBRE OS SEGUNDÁRIOS: Os personagens secundários da 1ª parte da história são irrelevantes, já os secundários da 2ª parte da história são interessantes, porém não deram muito tempo de tela para eles. Há vários personagens que morrem nessa série, personagens queridos. Meu conselho é que não se apeguem muito a eles. São muitas mortes mesmo, no início tinha uma morte a cada 2 ou 3 episódios...
Resolvi assistir essa série por que queria ver os primeiros trabalhos da atriz Zhao Lu Si, sendo apenas uma coadjuvante, porém no meio da série ela saiu e me abandonou hahahaha e tive que continuar assistindo até o final.
NO GERAL: Não é uma série relevante, não há necessidade de assisti-la tendo tantas séries boas por aí.

Fisgado pelo boca
Chefe Cinderela trás como base viagem ao passado, exploração culinária, a ambição por crescimento profissional e o desenvolvimento de uma relação do ódio ao amor.O drama é bem longo e mostra em detalhes o desvendar das mais estranhas confusões que envolveram a viajante do tempo chefe Cinderela e seu odioso e oportuno marido.
A atuação do elenco é maravilhosa, mas o ator e personagem principal Hsu que encorpora o príncipe infiltrado com um dos lideres rebeldes, e de arrancar suspiros. Gosto muito do trabalho bem expressivo desse ator, tanto as cenas de ação quanto as românticas são perfeitas.
O drama tem um enredo cheio de intrigas e golpes militares então tem que prestar atenção. A muitos espiões e agentes duplos.
A chefe Cinderela por ser uma pessoa do futuro ficou com um papel infantilizado e colocaram a personagem como imatura, atrapalhada e muitas das vezes burra, quando ela começa a mostra o que se espera de alguém dos anos 2000, foi pra tópicos relevantes, porém o atributos culinários houve fartura de cenas e muitas citações de pratos tradicionais que são de abri o apetite.
A história foi um pouco de cada coisa, os cinéfilos de plantão irão identificar diversas referências a muitos filmes e outros dramas, um pouco de volta para o futuro( filme americano) e Mrs.Queen (drama coreano) entre outros.
Em meio a todos os acontecimentos tem muitas reflexões postiças...no mais gostei bastante e um dia revejo.

Petite perle de fantasy et de romance avec great cast - Ne passez pas à côté !
Le plot est séduisant et on est addict dès le 1er épisode !! (et jusqu'à la dernière minute :)STORY
Bien sûr, c'est une pure comédie, avec Time Travel. Le jeu des acteurs est un peu surjoué dans les 1er épisodes, mais le talent des acteurs, la très jolie histoire écrite par le screenwriter (cuisinière du XXIe siècle envoyée dans une lointaine dynastie au milieu des brigands et des seigneurs de guerre), les effets spéciaux correctement faits, ... on a envie de savoir ce qui va se passer dans les minutes, les épisodes suivants ... et on se retrouve à faire un marathon jusqu'à l'épisode final.
Le drama a du faire l'objet de 2 saisons, car il y a clairement 2 parties : une se déroule au milieu des "gangs", l'autre à la cour de l'empereur.
CASTING
Les acteurs font un job extraordinaire, et on peut totalement s'identifier à la FL, débarquant dans une ère sans smartphone ni internet et essayant de s'adapter à l'époque. Le ML est craquant (Bie Thassapak Hsu) et son évolution d'arrogant et dur => lover est plus que convaincante. Le CL va ensuite développer une great chemisty et une confiance qui en font un des couples les plus mignons que j'ai vu.
On découvre aussi dans ce drama beaucoup de jeunes acteurs (tous les personnages et couples secondaires) qui incarnent avec beaucoup de justesse des personnages plus immatures qui vont grandir peu à peu. J'ai hâte de voir la suite de leur carrière.
TECHNIQUE
- La réalisation est dynamique, sans scène ou ralenti inutile.
- les images sont belles (paysages, cadrage, ...)
- Les OST accompagnent/accentuent très bien les émotions (épiques, lyriques, drôles {rap et pop], tristes)
- les effets spéciaux sont corrects, sans être très spectaculaires, mais suffisamment pour être crédibles
- les scènes d'action et de combat (il y en a beaucoup) sont excellentes (et on peut très bien imaginer tout le travail et les entrainements des acteurs et des cascadeurs qui ont œuvré derrière ces scènes).
C'est un des meilleurs dramas Historico-Fantasy que j'ai bingewatché et je le regarderai certainement à nouveau car j'ai adoré.
Excellent !! Vraiment excellent !!
