For me, Yoona's acting is good so far. Most of the time, her character is thinking about her next steps or planning…
I understand your perspective, but for me, this is a comedy with a cooking theme, so I don't expect it to resemble a reality show. I really enjoy MasterChef, and I find Gordon Ramsay hilarious. Perhaps it’s because I’ve worked with executive chefs myself; they can be quite impressive in the kitchen, but they often behave very differently outside of it.
I really enjoy the cooking segments; everything looks absolutely delicious!
When I watched episode 1, I related a lot to Faith, the doctor. It was uncanny! I even checked to see if it was the same actress.. 😆
Even the one kiss exchanged reminded me of Faith. It wasn’t a genuine moment between two people in love; it was more of a drunk guy forcing a kiss on a girl. In Faith, the kiss occurred in front of a dozen people, and it was meant to save her—not romantic at all. We’ll see how it is developed.
However, episode 2 was much better and felt less childish and over-the-top. At least she only pulled her hair once this time! I'm not saying her acting is bad, but it did come across as a bit exaggerated. It seems like she wants to make her point very clear. Coming from the future isn’t an excuse; it’s more about her personality.
That said, this is a light comedy. Personally, I see a one-sided romance developing so far. For me, the scriptwriter and director haven't convinced me about the mutual romantic interest yet, but we still have four episodes left to see how it unfolds.
Agreed. That was totally unprofessional. I hope he doesn't get a job in the near future. He must learn to be quiet and take his lesson. Dude! This is why you have a job, seriously!
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT "LACK OF ROMANCE" I AM TOTALLY ENJOYING THE COOKING COMPETITION…
It is not a complaint; it is a fact. That is the main difference. Note that there is no need to raise your voice to express your opinion (capital letters netiquette)
Honestly, the last three episodes have been kind of a snooze. The drama isn’t even that long, yet they wasted…
The main issue with tags and labels is that when a drama is tagged as "romance," we expect it to center around romance, especially if the series has a short episode count. However, I would approach this drama by placing a greater emphasis on comedy, while still incorporating elements of romance and drama and of course lot of cooking since it is the main topic.
I could be mistaken, but the female lead (FL) has primarily worked in TV shows and music videos before transitioning to movies and dramas later in her career. While her diverse experiences are commendable, they differ significantly from one another. I find her facial expressions and acting style to be quite similar to those of the FL in "Faith: The Doctor." Both performances seem exaggerated to me and lack the honesty and believability that I look for in acting. However, between the two, I prefer this FL.
As for the Chinese language used in this drama, I must admit that I have become accustomed to Mandarin. Any other accent often makes me feel as though it’s a completely different language. While I've learned a few expressions from Chinese dramas, I struggled to catch anything in this particular show.
I enjoy this drama; it provides great entertainment.
There are only four episodes left, and I’ve noticed a lack of romance and declarations of love. It’s clear that he has fallen deeply in love with her, but I don’t see those same feelings reciprocated on her end. She seems troubled, but I don’t perceive her emotions as deeply as I would expect. Therefore, I would categorize this drama more as a comedy than a romance.
Many ppl CHOSE to move to the past because it was more practical, better solution for both. Great Doctor FL...…
I honestly don’t mind whether the happy ending is set in the past or the future, as long as the characters remain the same and they have a happy ending together.
However, I've noticed that the epilogues are often rushed, and many times, the male lead is not the original character. I must admit that I watched more Chinese time travel stories over Korean ones, so I will take your word on this.
I don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm, but when have we ever seen a happy ending for a heroine who has transmigrated from the modern era? Personally, I can only recall one instance. All the other stories tend to have either sad endings or bittersweet, unsatisfying conclusions.
Although I haven't read this novel, I see two possible scenarios:
1. She return in modern times. He died in his era and transmigrated to the modern era into a copycat body. They meet, feel an attraction, and quickly begin their happily ever after.
2. She return in modern times. He did not die in his era but instead escaped death and used the missing page to find her in the modern era, leading to a happy ending.
IF YOU KNOW THE REAL ENDING, PLEASE USE SPOILER OPTION… THIS HERE IS ONLY SPECULATIONS.
Nonetheless, the list is impressive.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Korean_inventions_and_discoveriesGreenhouse..…
They needed to find a scene with a machine invention + food = puffed rice? I thought it was clever and justified her crockpot and it added a little humor too lol
It's unfortunate that MDL doesn't have live chat threads for each drama. It would be fun to read all the passionate comments, heated discussions, and overly enthusiastic fans swooning over their idols while the episode airs. 😁
