Go watch now!
A a great foodie and as someone who has cooked all their life, the precision in this drama was quite surprising. Like not only the food itself, but also the values, the timing and even feeling of cooking, everything was spot on! Like, has this been written by a cook or someone like me? Cuz this was hella good. Plus this was the funniest thing ever. This will def. be one of my comfort dramas! +this is family friendly, so you can watch this with anyone. 10/10 reccommend.Was this review helpful to you?

Happy End, I Want More, Feminism is there!
(Happy Ending)Tbh, I was shocked when he died in ep 32, thoughI predicted it, but I still cried and then was again happy as he reappeared in the end.
They gave us a cute ending with that special, but I would have loved to see how they pretended he was dead, even making a fake funeral and grave! Like only he and his medic knew? Really? He even hid it from his closest aid.
My theory is that the medic saw his body and took it and still saw chances of life, hid him away and tried to heal him these past 4 years, with even taking measures of experimenting on himself. As, as we saw, the medic's hair was almost fully gray and his face showed signs of aging which came from the experiments and Hua Yong only had a few strands of his hair turned grey. Like- he deserves more praise!
I also would loved to see the second couple's twin children and it would have been cool to see them grow up with the mainleads son.
I also reallly loved the second couple, like I was kinda more invested in their story.
I have never seen a woman cross-dressing as a man so accurately in a drama. Like if not for the voice, I would have believed her! She is on par with Seol In Ah who will act in that upcoming series as a man!
Also, I was soo surprised to finding out the actor of Tian Yuan's (ml's closest aide) real age. Like you are telling me that boy is 15?!! He is a great actor but I feel bad for simping him (though mind you, I am 17, so it should be okay). I usually fawn for elder actors like Lee Sang Yi but this is new. But when I look at his MDL picture, he looks completely for his age. I think due to the heavy make-up in the drama he looks elder, which was probably also intentionally. I thougt he was around 22-24.
Summary, this was really a hella good drama and this is not only my first historical Chinese drama but this is also the first C-drama I watched till the end!!! (besides C-bl)
Bcz usually I never get to finish a C-drama as it's too long and get's boring over time, but in this drama, literally EVERY fricking episode is a dopamine shot into my soul! I loved every ep and I even wish for a second season!
I also loved how women supportive they were! My absolute favourite line from Hua Yong which literally made me watch this entire series:
"Women are poor, they have always been used, .... So I'd rather make use of men *giant smirk* "
10/10 reccommend

family-friendly
tbh this is a great binge watch series you could even watch with your family and friends. It's a solid 9 (still gonna rate it 10 tho)Also that small creature is soo cute and da real mvp.
If someone is wondering if this is a romance, well they definitely feel something for each other, but there are no kiss scenes or adult scenes.
For me this series is just purely them trying to save each other the entire time. (not a bad aspect I am pointing here)
Does this need a season 2? Not really. Would I watch it if there was a second season? Definitely yes!
Bonus: seeing the actors Lee Hong Nae from The Legend of Kitchen Soldier and Kwak Dong Yeon from Vincenzo and Big Mouth literally made my day, Like I was soo happy to see them- especially for Dong Yeon as it has been a long time since I have seen him in a drama.

Def 10/10, but watch with caution!
Wow, this hit hard. I've finished all episodes and the special episode (ep11), and here is my review: I'm actually quite a sensitive person and cannot bare to watch gruesome dramas, which is why I wanted to drop this many times, yet I stayed for FortPeat. I'm gonna say, once you start watching this, watch it till the end. I must say that this must be one of the best psychological dramas Thailand has ever made. The acting is cherry on top, the chemistry of all characters are amazing and this drama is slightly more realistic than other ones. Even though I, personally, could never forgive Kelvin and would actually kill him, Vier's actions were realistic, as a person, especially a man, could never really hate/kill the person they truly love. So the plot is amazing, and everything, especially witg the different time periods was really well planned. Sure, it might have been confusing at first, but it felt like a journey, getting a piece of information every time like a puzzle piece until you got the whole picture. So even though I don't like psychological dramas, this is definitely on my top list! 10/10Btw, I never expected the lovey-dovey and cute actors FortPeat, who acted in Love in the air and Love Sea, to be in a psycho drama and act in dark roles, but... they were amazing! And Peat also got a major glow up, he looks wayy hotter in this series and is not only the "fragile, cute character".
Also, even though there was a disclaimer, such behaviour from Kelvin should not be normalised and romanticised, which is why I definitely do NOT recommend this for children, immature people and mentally unstable people.
