Give it a chance to simmer.
Okay, so I’ve read the other reviews and the positive ones I agree with. They convey mostly how I felt about this series. It has its drama, comedy, sad moments, just fun stuff. This took me out of the historical romance redundancy. It was refreshing to see an older actor with a younger one. A dynamic you normally don’t see but it works here. Mature uptight CEO learns how to live from a younger live for the moment kinda girl.What I LOVE:
I like the fact that their problems weren’t drawn out to 10-episodes before they figure the things out. He truly and madly fell in love with her quick! I mean that’s what love does. It hits you when you least expect it, straight in the heart and soul. ML-FL chemistry was on point. I mean ML is seasoned actor, and he’s great. I love when he looks uncomfortable. It cracks me up every time. As for the FL, well it’s Lusi, (I’m biased since she’s my fav actress) need I say more! The girl can convey every emotion from 0-60. She just that good. Her cooking is fabulous, the mishaps are fabulous, the politics in the kitchen was also pretty good.
What I DONT love
Now, I totally didnt catch on with the second leads. It wasn’t necessary and it wasn’t interesting enough for me to keep track. In fact, I fast forwarded most of it. All I know is someone was a gold digger, and the other was willing to give it to her with the help of his rich boss/friend. At least this is how I saw it in the end. I was just not interested. Also, I don’t like the part that in the end it wasn’t really about cooking anymore but business and the bratty brother there was just no development into that.
Other Characters
I love the uncle, he was funny, witty, and so lovingly protective of his Neice or cousin or cousins what ever she was to him. Protective but allowed her to grow on her own. I would love an uncle like him. I wasn’t loving the grand pop too much. I just couldn’t touch on the vibe between them. ML brother, he gave me psychopath vibes. Scary, screws loose somewhere. Like if I was the ML I would lock my doors when he was around. The mom was just an overbearing beast. I mean can you blame the husband for leaving her. The secretary turned deputy director unrequited love. Let’s just say, She couldn’t compare.
Overall this was a good watch. This has been my replay background show while I work for the past week. So safe to say I liked it and rewatched it.

I don’t hate it but I don’t love it
Nothing wrong with the acting, the leads are great, supporting cast did their thing. The story or perhaps the execution, Mehhh!I just really couldn’t get into the story. Lots of unnecessary things going on or a few episodes could of been condensed into one. It felt drawn out and stale. I’m a Lusi fan so I felt inclined to finish it even though I was struggling to keep interested. I ended up skipping episodes and just jumped to 29 and 30. I even skipped the romantic scenes. That’s how frustrated and disinterested I became.
With that said,. This series could be your cup of tea. It just wasn’t mine. But give it a go, maybe 5 episodes and see if it’s for you.

Character growth? Maybe
This series has a lot of pros and cons but I enjoyed it. If you like young love and have some time to burn. This might be good for you.I've read some reviews that thought the ML was too immature. Quite frankly, he did a great job. It's his character, it's why his manager didn't have any romantic feelings for him. why he had a lot of toys in the background, and all the stuff in his house, was about him. He portrays an actor, he needed to be full of himself and he did a great job. For those that wanted growth. He had it, he was learning and in the end, he cared more about everyone else than his career.
For the FL, i had wanted to like her but had the most difficult time doing so. My annoyance was 40% money-driven, 50% for her 'nail art'. She was obsessed with money and she had a good reason but between that and her drive for this nail art thingy kinda irked me. Then blowing everything out of proportion while the ML admitted his faults. So honestly, I couldn't get into the FL. I feel there could have been other actresses that could have played this role with so much more depth. Meh, I wasn't feeling her.
Although the characters could have had a larger part. I like the way they intertwined with one another. Overall, I liked it. It was a good distraction.
