It's not bad but after watching the first episode, I'm not liking it that much.. Idk how to say, it feels like I'm watching a travel destination commercial rather than a variety show!
In ep 3 barely anything happened! the drama feels unnatural! the acting is stiff. the cooking in ep 4 was good. the shots did justice to the food but that's not enough reason for me to continue watching this drama. I'm not a fan of mukbang videos so I'm not fond of the time the drama spends on showing slow motion eating along with the chewing sound. My main complaint is that the drama overall is painfully slow!! VERY SLOW!!!
I watched the first 6 episodes without any skips and it was so emotional but by the time the drama was focusing on their senior years, it somehow fell apart for me. I cannot feel anything for them anymore.. not the leads and not their children. It felt like I'm watching some new drama and it became very boring and I couldn't bear to watch even for the sake of flashbacks.
it wasn't as bad to be unwatchable but constant beating of the husbands was too much! it felt like I'm watching the reverse abuse.. how much beating one can take and still claim they loved each other? the youngest was worse in that aspect. It wasn't even funny. Also I felt that the Li family became worse as they got more son in laws.. they used too much underhand tactics on each other! (even if they had good intentions, they inflicted suffering to the people they should've had trusted) In the scheming department the eldest was the worst in my opinion. By the end they all became more manipulative as time passed. what a degrade for the family. In the end they weren't much different from the rich families that looked down on them in the beginning.
I wouldn't recommend watching this drama unless you like the cast otherwise it's not that good to make you sit and watch 36 episodes of it.
It was painfully slow!! it's my first time trying to watch a drama fully by 2x speed (tbh I did 4x for some episodes!) and yet here I am dropping it! both fl's are so stupid.. (I mean the lookalikes) their reckless and stupid actions make the husband look smart.. and he was the most obvious villain I had ever seen in short dramas.
this was quite interesting. I loved the next door restaurant owners so much. I wish ml's background was also explored..…
It might sound like I'm nitpicking but the only downside for me was fl's acting. the acting overall was good but fl's acting wasn't consistent in my opinion. there were many instances that her acting felt a bit fake/unnatural (specially her facial expressions)? idk how to say it.. ml' s friend (Hanasaki)'s over acting was worse actually but it wasn't to the extent to make it unwatchable. anyways ml's acting was great!! I'm impressed that his goofy side wasn't cringe at all. (except a bit in first episode). All that said I watched it with minor skips, meaning this was a good entertainment.
this was quite interesting. I loved the next door restaurant owners so much. I wish ml's background was also explored.. not as deep as fl's but just a bit?? we know nothing about him!! I have many questions! family? his reason for becoming a detective? how he deducts during his investigations? why didn't he join the police as well as his friend?
I wish they showed us how fl's mom met everyone at the restaurant.. it felt like it was abruptly cut to see them interact little after dinner. I know that they wanted to focus on the mother daughter talk but I was a bit disappointed since those were also big part of fl's life beside ml.
There is no way a drama with a ml who can't act and bad dubbing can achieve such a high rating! 8? this drama? the quality resembles of the short (10min) cdramas. I could only endure 7 episodes, wish I had read some reviews before wasting my time on it.
I've watched 2 episodes and so far it doesn't have the charm of a food jdrama! I don't know how to say it.. it feels soulless! Apart from Shima Taisei's bad acting, the super slow unnatural cooking part could have affected it. also it's very obvious that he couldn't make the toasts so they only showed him putting the last bit on the bread and he did it so sloppily that it shows it's not done by the same person. in short the first 2 episode felt pretentious.
I know, there isn’t any romance, but do the female lead and the male lead have a good chemistry? I mean, do…
it seemed like fl started liking ml at some point but I didn't feel anything the other way around. so it felt one-sided to me from fl. they didn't really have chemistry. maybe a little as friends.
I usually like japanese detective dramas or mystery jdramas in general but this is too boring! it's a shame, fl's ability sounded interesting but fl herself is boring as well.. she just stares and takes deep breathes with a poker face all the time.
the case in ep 2 (group suicide) had potential but they got their info so conveniently that it's bizarre. he logged in the guy's account waaay too easily.. why didn't they tail them a bit before arresting them without evidence? my main issue is also fl not using her ability from the get go!! she used her ability after they had to let go of their suspect! I wouldn't complain if she used some recent vision but she went through the crime scene visionary in her head!! it would've saved lots of time if she did that earlier considering her investigation skills are not good enough. they started investigating their suspect claims after they had let him go!! what kind of clown show is this?
I only watched 1 episode and here I am with my rant!!
why did Tsuchiya insisted that fl also chase after that guy?? there were others going after him, why stop her when she was onto something? wasn't he her subordinate? I can't come up with anything other than pointless performative stunts... that's why the girl wasn't found 7 years ago.. even when she tells him about the girl that might be alive in the house, he still shrugs it off... tbh that frustrated me so much!!! it's not like he wasn't aware of her ability. why would he do that???
the 2 clowns in the end as well.. mocking her for forceful entry without warrant... SHE SAVED A GIRL THAT EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS DEAD!!! is it really time to mock her?? I wasn't ready to see incompetent cops in a detective drama.
