Fantastic chef, but a bit of a stick in the mud, is challenged when the owner of his restaurant brings in a new hot shot chef into his kitchen. She pits the two against each other (even though she’s already decided the original chef is out). The new bad boy is pretty darn flirty. There is an impressive courtship, but the characters are a little underdeveloped. The tsundere softening journey is well done, and the tension given but the foundational rivals crisis (one having to lie to the other) is a good simple plot arc for a K-BL, but ultimately this show was still a little thin and some of the scenes seemed out of order. Still I enjoyed it and I look forward to the movie rewatch.
