Where this drama shined was in its themes about family and cooking. The romance was all right, but not the highlight for me. I do appreciate that we got mutual acknowledgement from the leads in the modern world at the end rather than ambiguity we generally get in transmigration endings. This was one of the coziest shows I've ever seen. In many ways, it was everything I'd hoped Perfect Match would be (as far as being a touching family drama). The music was fitting, the comedy was golden (lmaooo Shen Shaojie made for great memes), the cooking and food made me hungrier than even Bon Appetite, Your Majesty! I desperately want to visit the Shen's Diner in both ancient times and modern. I even sought out jianbing near me (Chicago area) after watching early episodes because I wanted to try it so much. 🤤 I'm happy I watched this show. It did have some pacing issues, and I hated to see the ML suffer so much... but this was a special one. Watch it if you want to feel cozy (and hungry!!!). You will feel like part of the Shen family. ^^

Ah, and as for the romance... things do turn out all right in the end. 😊
