an entertaining watch overall

This drama is worth the watch for a certain audience. This is the first drama that I’ve wanted to watch all the way through in a long time and I do not regret it. It portrays the dark side of beauty standards really well and traversed darker areas that I wasn’t expecting the show to go in, which I do appreciate. The only downside I had while watching this drama is that it could be quite frustrating by feeling drawn out , alongside some minor frustrations with how they portrayed the main character. However, there is much to be learned by this show and it is worth the watch if you want to support a show that talked about difficult subjects. Overall 7/10 - not the best I’ve seen but certainly not the worst.

Pros:
- good cinematography
-portrays real world issues well
-wasn’t afraid to talk about uncomfortable subjects
-the romance is cute

Cons:
-main character can be frustrating at times
-feels slow at certain points
-acting can be awkward in a few places
-chemistry is eh

Unexpected emotional drama!

So this show wasn’t really what I was expecting— in a very good way! I went into this show thinking it would be completely lighthearted, which was the case most of the time, but the dark aspects that were slowly introduced shocked me and had me hooked. I found myself really enjoying the beginning of the show from an entertainment aspect, but when that hook sank in and I realized what was happening, my heart was taken and I binged the rest of it instantly. I think the main leads had a really great chemistry, which also made the show really enjoyable for me to watch! I found myself getting emotional from this drama in a lot of different places which is something I haven’t been able to receive from a show in a very long time. The only reason why I didn’t give it a perfect score is because I felt like in a few places, it might have dragged or I wanted just a little bit more filling out in the conflict between Soon Ae and the Chef. However, I highly recommend this drama! I would definitely say prepare your heart if you don’t like darker themes, it does take a bit of a dark turn! Well worth the watch though.

Pros:
- good lead chemistry
- plot is very well laid out and unexpected
- good scriptwriting and acting - pretty good production overall
- addicting and heart wrenching !
- the romance/romance scenes were top notch
- I liked the culinary aspects in the show and learning about food

Cons:
- can be dragged out in places
- some things in the plot that were unaddressed were a bit frustrating, but understandable
