Cooking competition that heals past scars!

I came in with little to no expectation to this drama and didn't know what to expect! It was a pretty solid drama .

The male lead is a superb chef but he is really cocky. He lost a cooking competition and became depressed. He has a nephew that makes shao bing ( a chinese fried bread). The nephew is the owner of the shao bing store. Female lead is a french pastry chef, she came back to Su zhou due to someone stealing her idea of a pastry. The female and male lead's pass cross as the Shao bing store gets rented to the female lead. The third male lead in the drama comes from a wealthy family and is trying to wind back his ex gf. Together, the male lead and female lead , nephew and the rich guys creates a team to compete in making dian xin ( small bites )

The drama is interesting because it touches on the four characters lives and their past, through creating and making food it helps heal their past scars and resolve past miscommunication.

I really liked the chemistry between all the , the friendship.

I liked that all the leads found their respected other half. Although it was not heavily focused on romance , it was just a little to get you through. lol wish there was more. The male and female lead was very late in the drama before they had their first kiss.

I must say Wang Yan Ling ( male actor) did a superb job in leading this role! He is funny and smart but also very emotional and sometimes rough but he brings it! The female lead is more tomboyish....
