Slowly Slowly... a lot of yummy but also a whole lot of meeh

 This drama is one part food/cooking, one part traval, one part friendship and I guess one part music/entertainment drama... oh and a romance... Without Drama.

I love most of the side characters, sweet fun to waych, goid friends and have lovely interdynamics. But it also has some really badly preformed, and badly written characters..


Both leads have their charm but to be honest this feels a bit like a teenage daughter of divorce with a cheeting father... sat down and fantasised with her friends.... And wrote some kind of extremely unrealistic fantasy. some kind of type of fantasy drama... more unrealistic than time travel, magical creatures types of fantays. The type that is there to makeup for all the wrongs of her family all at once with very little drama but also the female lead is portrayed as a kid/doll. Thus making me believe it is indeed a story written for kids.

The female lead has some fun bad ass lines here and there... as well as the occasional show of character. However most of the time her mimics, the way she is dressed, the way she runs, walks... are all a crossover between toddler and ballet dancer. Girl can fall asleep at any time and I'm pretty sure she is served milk at one point or another.

The male lead has no time yet is the one making all the desisions, cooking and what nott... he is also 7 years older than than the female lead with a huuuge maturity gap between them. However not a single person seems to mention the age gap... Normally age gaps don't really bother me but here the maturity gap is just too big.

I can't help but wonder about the brainstorming sesion when choosing the ml occupation and character.

Let's make him a voice actor
No we need more
Ok a singer
No we need more
Ok how about a healer...
No we need more
Ok he needs to be a master chef too
No that is still not enough we need more...
Hmm... ok lets take all of the above add some mistery and make all of this secret identitys and throw in a sviour complex and make him a director, planner and... and... a pioneer yes he was a pioneer too... + never had a girlfriend at age 29 because he was waiting for the right voice to come along...

How about the fl?
Fl... fl... hm... ok she can be a foodie who cant cook, composes but rather not sing her own song though she has a nice voice that can't hit high notes. Oh she should be a student too... maybe work at a supermarket or something like that... you know so girls can find something to relate to...

The show has the healthy mains relationship tag and is discribed as a geen flag... but honestly something about him keeps bothering me and though he doesn't force himself on the female lead even once, this is not really a relationship between equal. So my standards for healthy relationships is a bit different than this one...

My favorite characters are the groups manager and the two singers in the group whoem are waaay more interesting than the leads. I aloso loved the cosplayers. Fun to watch and a ship I would love to see the friends of this show in a Taiwanese spinoff...

The pacing is a bit off at times painfully slow... matching the theme song slowly slowly we fall in love... though the falling was fast apparently they had a parashoot with a propeller...

An okay watch with a whole lot of beautiful shots (mainly of food), and a whole lot of good (mainly side characters) but to much meh to get a higher score.
