The romantic leads were mismatched from the start with Puff having to do most of the romantic heavy lifting though her character was very antisocial. I thought there was more chemistry between Hao Wei and Kai Qi. Jasper Liu's character was too childish at times, which made it difficult for me to believe that he was this badass chef and that he possessed the know-how to run his father's company when he wasn't stalking Kai Qi. It's never a good idea to rely on children too much in a supporting role because the cuteness factor quickly wears off and you find yourself wishing them bodily harm. At least, I did. The entire kidnap/rescue scenes were laughable and not in a good way. I absolutely loved the supporting cast because they made this show tolerable and fun to watch. I think I'll take a break from watching Taiwanese television shows for a while thanks in large part to Jasper Liu's performance.
