Title The Last Cook
So I started this on a whim and although I wasn’t really paying attention to the first episode, from the second episode on, it gets sooo much better. It’s a mix of historical and modern where they still have an emperor and eunuchs and concubines, but it’s also set in the turn of the century with cars and electricity and reporters. Very interesting concept. And it might seem like it’s just about cooking and food just by the title alone, it’s more about palace drama and conspiracies. I don’t know the ML and FL (maybe I saw FL in another drama, but I haven’t seen ML before), but their acting is great. They have morals and are not afraid to stand up for themselves and others. Only a couple of times the FL annoyed me because she was acting ungrateful and childish, but I guess living in a place with so many rules and people out to get you, I understand why she acts the way she does at times, although she’s directing her anger towards those trying to help her. I only watched up to episode 6 so far and even though there’s not a lot of big stars in here (I do recognize some of the minor characters from other dramas) it’s still a very interesting show. The only gripe is the AI generated subs 🫠 I mean it could be worse and have no English subtitles at all, but it does get annoying when the subs repeats itself a lot. In the meantime, I do recommend watching this. So far there’s little to no romance, but the action and fighting scenes are top notch. Can’t wait to continue watching this this weekend.
