Fry Me to the Moon (2024)

A decent and watchable drama and the dishes and presentation of the food makes my mouth water.

Fry Me to the Moon is another women-centric drama about three female friends who rely on each other in the cruel business world of restaurants and their competition to stay afloat through investors and acquisitions.

Synopsis: Three women who wouldn't have known each other without a fight go against the routine and stand side by side in facing life's challenges. They never give up their persistence towards love and pursuit of ideals. Lu Zhen Zhen, who takes her career very seriously, returns to Chengdu while disregarding everything for the sake of love. Gu Man Ting, who married her childhood sweetheart very early on, wants to escape her marriage. She invites Zhen Zhen to join her business, "Chuanbailou." The sudden appearance of catering entrepreneur Liang Qing Ran disrupts their trajectory, and the crisis at "Chuanbailou" allows the three very different women to truly get to know each other. As their love, career, and ideals are tested at every level in the city of Chengdu, what choices will they make?

My Reviews:
1. The story progresses nicely in terms of the lives of three women and how they cross paths.
2. They worked together to avenge the takeover of Gu Man Ting's dad's restaurant.
3. They not only worked on their own problems but also became good friends and supported each other in business and personal lives.
4. The dishes and presentation of the food in this drama make my mouth water, and I want to try some of the dishes.
5. I enjoy it. It is not a fantastic drama, but it is watchable.

I give it a 7.0 rating for decent script and decent acting from the cast.

Due to the restaurant's poor performance and a lot of debt, it was forced to be acquired by Zhongting Capital, led by Liang Qing Ran (Charmaine Seh).

Lu Zhen Zhen also returned to Chengdu, her hometown and tried to help Gu Manting and her father to increase the profits of the Chuanbai Luo restaurant again with her customer service and marketing skills, but they still couldn't pay off the huge debt and had to be taken over by the owner of the capital.


Female-centric drama about the restaurant business, the main characters are strong and intelligent women, very realistic and relatable to everyday life. This drama with a total of 24 episodes is packed very compactly and the story plot is not boring, the story is balanced between the world of business, romance and the problems faced in the lives of the main characters, there is no doubt about their acting because they are senior artists, especially HK artist Chairmaine Seh, I really like her acting as a smart female entrepreneur. Suitable to watch for those who like to eat/cook because in this drama there are also lots of scenes of how to cook typical Sichuan food.
