The story is so much more than just two women chefs going through competitions. The two women are Do Hee and Seol Hee. They compete to become Master Chef and Seol Hee not only cheats but locks her son in a closet and he ends up dead. Do Hee and her family go on a ship where there is an accident and her child is lost at sea. Do Hee can't face it and while they are looking for her lost child they find another child that she claims as her own. That child has lost her mother at sea also...Yeon Woo then becomes Ha In Joo.

Well, there are 32 episodes to explain what happens when the original In Joo is found. I don't know if they needed that many...plus the ending leaves a lot to be desired. The story is ok, but it really isn't anything new.
The acting is very good. All of the main actors do a great job and even the secondary actors are no joke. I really like Sung Yu Ri as an actress. Joo Sang Wook and Lee Sang Woo are great actors and excellent eye candy. Seo Hyun Jin does a great job of making you feel sorry for her and hate her at the same time...but by the end you realize that she has been mentally messed with her whole life so what can you expect from a person like that.
The music is excellent in this drama. Even if you don't watch this drama you should look up Lee Seung Chul's Did You Forget? and listen to it. It is great!!!
As for the rewatch value. I wouldn't watch it a second time because it is so long.
Overall I think this was a pretty good drama. Not the best I have ever seen, but it doesn't suck.
