So the older Prince is the son of a concubine and cannot take the throne so he wants the young prince the son of the 2 wife of the king to be king so he can control him?
Netflix is used to misleading dramas, so many people here are expecting romance but haven't it clicked to you…
Subplots mainly pick up after the main plot had ended or is coming to an end, but it is however always integrated into the main plot by tiny increments to show this subplot didn't just spring out of nowhere. The issue here is that the romance, jealously, make the king a tyrant and I have to find my sister's killer subplots we mediocre at best and wasn't executed properly. All of these sub plots were introduced in ep 1-2 fell off around ep 4-5 and now they are suddenly reappearing back in ep 10 huh???
Oh, how I hate the ''Oh you like me? Then I'll like you too'' romance plotline, it often feels like an obligation instead of genuine feelings. I'm really loving the romantic energy from the king but FL not so sure if I'm buying that ''her heart is breaking knowing she'll have to return to the future'' like girl whole 10 ep and you hadn't saw the king as a man and we got only 2 more episodes, and you'll be spending it fighting for your lives. Be fr and stop playing with me!
Sidenote: looks like the king wasn't a tyrant at first, he was just very strict but after whatever happens to his beloved (we will find out next week) that's how he becomes the tyrant recorded in history, I'm excited for that.
The cooking brought them close though? And like the romance isn't the main plot of the show but the cooking itself.
Exactly why I said the show is all about great cooking—with mediocre side plots like the romance, the jealousy, and the 'I hate the king and need to see him fall. It's not that these elements aren't the focus; it's that they clearly weren't given any real effort even with the little time that it is given.
They have made the show so much about the cooking that it's kind of hard for me to care about the romance now...........?? Like there were hints here and there but now that the quote-on-quote cooking aspect is done with everything else kind of feels forced now so hard to watch. So sad that the cooking is now used to separate them instead of bringing them closer together. Yarrrrnnnnnnnnnnnn, the whole drama is just great cooking with mediocre characters and side plots.
The competition kinda stopped the development of the drama, both the politics and romance, in exchange for a predictable…
Yes it kinda did and the translating take up way too much time. Not to mention ep 7 being a total filler that barley moved the other parts of the plot forward and they didn't even get the pressure cooker! Now we gonna waste another 10 minutes next ep either waiting for the cooker or seeing bro trying to deliver it on time.
