A Breath of Fresh Air from Start to Finish

​"The Legend of the Kitchen Soldier" is an absolute masterpiece. Watching this show week by week, from the very first episode to the grand finale, was an incredibly rewarding journey and worth every single second of the wait.
​Here is why this series is such a massive standout:
​Flawless Plot & Pacing: The storyline is beautifully crafted, managing to keep you hooked every week without ever losing its magic.
​Impeccable Casting & Acting: The chemistry among the cast is undeniable. Every single actor brought their character to life with so much heart and authenticity.
​Top-Tier Comedy: The humor hits perfectly every time, delivering genuine laughs without ever feeling forced.
​In a sea of predictable television, this show is a true rarity. Watching it felt like breathing in the crisp morning breeze or sipping a perfectly warm, freshly brewed cup of coffee. It is a beautiful, comforting gem of a series that I cannot recommend highly enough. 🤎

Love Transcends Time

For a pairing that literally had barely anything to do in ' The Next Prince', I was blown away for how good they were in this! Genuinely I got emotional during parts of this because the acting was so solid, especially JJ's!

I still really don't understand why so many disliked TNP and gave it such low ratings (probably way too high of expectations), but this show I loved just about on par! Maybe a little bit more, since the pacing didn't feel as slow as part of TNP did. Great acting, great sets and costumes, solid plot. Literally combine TNP with 'Reset' and its essentially this show in regards to the plot. I look forward to seeing Net & JJ in more shows to come! As well as Kim & Latte!

"People can change completely depending upon the circumstances"

Takahashi Issei playing a dual role was all the motivation I needed to watch Reborn. The drama had an interesting premise but failed to capitalize on it for most of the episodes. While Issei was fascinating to watch as two different characters, much of the story failed to engage me.

Neo Kosei began working in relief organizations gaining a good reputation. He propelled that quickly into a corporation that capitalized on others' misfortunes. He comforted himself by saying that the sacrifice of a few gave greater gains to the many. (I kept hearing a quote regarding Ebenezer Scrooge going through my head during this drama. "I have seen your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master passion, Gain, engrosses you," Belle from A Christmas Carol.) When Neo takes a tumble down a temple staircase, he awakens in the body of Nomoto Eito in 2012, who coincidentally looks just like Neo. Eito was supposed to have died in an accident and yet now Neo is walking around in his body and part of the Akari Shopping Street that Neo had destroyed in 2026. Eito/Neo finds himself competing against himself as he tries to save the Akari shopkeepers and gain his old life back. Despite Eito/Neo’s attempts to change the future, the alley and his own life seem on a collision course with the known future and terrible price to pay.

As I said, the premise is worthy of a drama. The problem was the implementation. Chiefly, the shopkeepers weren’t well written. There were three that were often in the shot but rarely called by name. Most came across as amiable but financially incompetent and worse kept electing Eito’s dad, the financially inept Eiji, as chairperson or president. He was maddeningly bad with money and relied on himself instead of Eito/Neo which repeatedly made the situations go from bad to worse. There was a reason the street was failing. Eito’s love interest was kept hanging for 14 years which stretched the bounds of credulity. To top it off, the ending was unsatisfying and left numerous questions unanswered. If not for Takahashi Issei I would have rated this lower but gave it a .5 bump for him. Watchable, but frustrating.

Socos e afeto: A desconstrução do medo através de conexões que desafiam a própria morte

Apresenta inicialmente como uma comédia romântica sobrenatural despretensiosa, mas entrega uma narrativa surpreendentemente equilibrada que discute solidão, pertencimento e o peso de carregar segredos do passado. Adaptado do webtoon de Iminsu, o drama acerta ao transformar o clássico terror de assombrações em uma jornada de amadurecimento e superação psicológica para dois jovens que se sentem completamente invisíveis no mundo dos vivos.

Park Bong Pal (Ok Taec Yeon) é um universitário isolado que enxerga sua habilidade de interagir fisicamente com espíritos como uma maldição e um meio de faturamento para pagar um procedimento médico. Sua rotina milimetricamente controlada colide com a energia caótica de Kim Hyeon Ji (Kim So Hyun), o fantasma de uma colegial atrevida que não se lembra de como morreu. O relacionamento deles funciona muito bem porque quebra a passividade: eles não se assustam, eles se enfrentam. A parceria profissional que nasce dos exorcismos de meio período vira a cura para o isolamento de ambos. Bong Pal aprende a abrir seu coração traumatizado, enquanto Hyeon Ji encontra um propósito e uma identidade na sua existência espiritual. Por trás das lutas divertidas e dos efeitos visuais charmosos, o roteiro de Lee Dae Il constrói uma tensão psicológica constante através do sinistro professor Ju Hye Seong (Kwon Yul), mostrando que os vivos podem esconder monstros muito piores do que os próprios mortos.

Sob a direção precisa de Park Joon Hwa, o drama mantém um ritmo ágil e uma atmosfera calorosa, muito impulsionada pela icônica dupla de alívio cômico vivida por Kang Ki Young e David Lee, além do veterano Kim Sang Ho como o monge protetor. É uma obra redonda, reconfortante e deliciosamente divertida que prova que, às vezes, é preciso encarar os nossos fantasmas de frente , literalmente com os punhos cerrados , para conseguirmos seguir em frente com a nossa vida.
Um dos melhores e mais equilibrados k-dramas sobrenaturais da década passada! Ok Taec Yeon e Kim So Hyun entregam uma dinâmica impecável, misturando pancadaria, romance fofo e momentos de aquecer o coração.

Um drama militar com um sabor totalmente inovador!

A prova que a mistura de elementos cotidianos com uma pitada de fantasia pode resultar em um prato narrativo surpreendentemente robusto e viciante. Adaptado da web novel de Jay Robin, o drama utiliza a estrutura de "gamificação" (o clássico sistema de telas virtuais e missões) não apenas para entreter, mas como uma metáfora inteligente sobre foco, disciplina e a busca por um propósito quando a realidade externa desmorona.

O grande trunfo do roteiro é a jornada de amadurecimento de Kang Seong Jae, interpretado com excelente nuance por Park Ji Hoon. Ele começa como o clássico "soldado problemático" que usa o alistamento como uma rota de fuga para o luto e o fracasso. A virada psicológica acontece quando o inesperado sistema de "Missão de Cozinheiro" o obriga a encarar a rotina da cozinha militar como uma arena de desenvolvimento. Despertar os "Olhos do Chef" vai muito além de cozinhar bem; significa aprender a ler as pessoas e o ambiente. O contraste com o sargento veterano Yun Dong Hyeon (Lee Hong Nae), um autêntico "esgotado" da vida militar, sem paladar e contando os dias para a baixa , gera uma dinâmica de mestre e aprendiz às avessas que é rica em humor e humanidade. Conforme Seong Jae entrega excelência no trabalho técnico, a trama ganha peso ao conectar o cumprimento das missões com a investigação de uma teia obscura de corrupção militar ligada ao passado de sua família.

Sob a direção ágil de Jo Nam Hyung, a produção equilibra com maestria o dinamismo visual da preparação dos alimentos com a tensão política da caserna, amparada por um elenco de apoio forte que inclui Yoon Kyung Ho e Jung Woong In. É uma obra vigorosa sobre como o compromisso com uma tarefa, por mais simples que pareça aos olhos dos outros, pode se tornar a ferramenta principal para um indivíduo recuperar as rédeas da própria vida e combater injustiças.

Park Ji Hoon entrega mais uma atuação sólida como um azarão focado, e a química de camaradagem com Lee Hong Nae é um dos pontos altos. Excelente pedida para quem gosta de histórias de superação, rotinas intensas e um bom mistério de fundo.

well acting, great
ost great
storyline, the story writer needs some beating cos of the ending, too vague.

I can recommend it to someone else because of IU and the other hotel staff.

? “A recipe of laughter, chaos, and pure entertainment "

The Legend of the Kitchen Soldier was such a fun and entertaining watch from start to finish.

The biggest strength of this drama is how naturally it mixes comedy with enjoyable storytelling.

Every episode kept me interested and never felt boring.
The funny moments landed really well and made the characters feel more lovable.

The main cast had great chemistry and made even simple scenes enjoyable.

I liked how the show stayed light while still keeping the audience invested.

The pacing was smooth and easy to binge.

I enjoyed was when the main character’s cooking skills ended up becoming a turning point and surprised everyone in a really satisfying way.

The humor felt fresh and gave me a lot of genuine laughs.
Overall, it’s one of those dramas you watch to relax and have a good time — highly recommended.

good but could be better

First i will start off with the fact that the chemistry between the main leads was awesome. I felt the tension between them when she was leaving he didn't want her to leave but he couldn't do anything, especially because the dad said not to contact her again. But the plot in my opinion was pretty good but i did see a hint of similarity between this drama and speed and love. When i started i thought why would cousins date and almost dropped it but decided to watch it. It was worth the watch might be my fav drama for the summer because it was just a summer drama and was what we needed this summer. But i did have a problem with the timings. first they made the part when they were younger so long that they weren't able to show much romance and the romance just felt rushed with him meeting her dad. but the casting for this drama was awesome considering the fact that all of the cast looked really young and fit the younger role really well.

A fantasy romance that perfectly matches my kdrama taste

Bear in mind: My taste in kdramas is very personal and uniquely my own.

I really enjoyed My Demon because it represents exactly the kind of kdrama I naturally gravitate towards. Fantasy romance with gorgeous visuals, intense chemistry, playful banter, emotional tension and a couple whose dynamic makes you want to keep watching them again and again.

For me, this drama was never just about the supernatural storyline. What truly made it memorable was the relationship between Do Do Hee and Gu Won. I loved watching their connection slowly shift from teasing, pride and chaotic power struggles into something much softer, deeper and more protective. Their enemies-to-lovers energy had the perfect balance of humour, tension and emotional vulnerability, which is one of the reasons I found them so addictive as a couple.

The whole drama has a very specific charm that perfectly matches my personal taste. It is stylish, romantic, dramatic, funny, mysterious and visually beautiful. All wrapped in this elegant dark-fairytale atmosphere. The cinematography, outfits, soundtrack and overall mood made every episode feel aesthetically pleasing and emotionally engaging at the same time.

My Demon became one of those dramas that I didn't watch once and move on from. It stayed with me enough to make me rewatch it multiple times because it gives me the exact comfort I love in kdramas. It is the kind of story I enjoy not only for the plot but for the feeling, atmosphere and emotional pull it creates.

Masterpiece do século!

Não tenho palavras para descrever a experiência...

E eu que pensava que não me remetia do The Good Bad Mother! Não sei o que dizer mais sem ser: perfeito, a não rever (não porque não foi bom, mas sim por ter medo de chorar outra vez nos mesmos episódios, fiquei tão mal que não conseguia levantar-me sequer) e não aconselhado a corações frágeis como o meu (principalmente o último episódio). Cada cena tem um propósito, cada personagem tem uma história que nos faz relembrar algum momento da nossa vida e se, por ventura, retirassem algum pormenor, a história já não teria o mesmo impacto.
Não tenho nada a dizer sobre o elenco, simplesmente incrível, cada ator/atriz foi escolhido/a a dedo e não mudaria absolutamente nada! A química entre o casal principal foi mágica (mas a IU prefere o Lee Jongsuk e eu entendo) e RECOMENDO todos, independentemente se gostam de k-dramas ou não, a verem.

Props!: para Park Bogum, a emoção na atuação do nosso sunshine foi de outro mundo!
Curiosidade: não só ‘cresci’ um pouco mais como pessoa como alguns factos mencionados ao longo da história me fizeram pensar o quão duro realmente foi sobreviver para os que estavam cá antes de nós.

The Recipe for Happiness Under Military Regime

To begin, I’ll borrow inspiration from my old review of Mr. Queen. To create a truly tasty dish, here is the recipe:
“Take a young, popular and likeable actor. Make him play a hero built around the universally comforting theme of cooking. Add an unexpectedly peaceful military setting, a generous dose of humor, passion, and human values. Sprinkle in absurd comedic situations and strong bromance. Finally, season it with RPG-like video game sequences where you gain EXP to level up, and a light touch of romance.” Based on the webcomic of the same name, kitchen utensils replace weapons, because the real danger is… on the plate. Here, there isn’t a trace of physical violence: no bullying, only a few squabbles, and above all challenges that are more digestible than dangerous. Why did this drama work so well in Korea? Probably because it brings together almost all the ingredients the local audience loves. But the real question is elsewhere: will this perfectly calibrated mix manage to appeal to our own taste as well?

Two months after losing his father, a highly respected chef, young conscript Kang Seong-Jae (Park Ji-Hoon) is assigned to the Ganglim forward base, near the North Korean border. This small garrison of 29 men is commanded by Captain Hwang Seok-Ho (Lee Sang-Yi), assisted by Lieutenant Cho Ye-Rin (Han Dong-Hee) and Staff Sergeant Park Jae-Young (Yoon Kyung-Ho). They are all very humane officers. Because of his parents’ profession, Seong-Jae is assigned to the mess hall to assist Sergeant Yoon Dong-Hyun (Lee Hong-Nae) in the kitchen. Not only is he loud-mouthed, but he is also utterly useless at cooking. The verdict is clear: every meal is a disaster, and the entire base is at breaking point. That’s when Seong-Jae is suddenly presented with a hologram that, like in a video game, assigns him missions to earn EXP, level up his skills, and ultimately reach the final goal: becoming the “ultimate chef.” Thus begins the epic journey of the Kitchen Soldier, whose mission is to rebuild cohesion through good food.

What immediately stands out is how quickly the series pulls you in—even if you consider cooking an abstract art. Indeed, food culture is something that unites everyone, across all generations. The concept is also introduced very quickly: we are not simply following a soldier in a remote outpost, but a character evolving like in a video game. EXP, levels, skill unlocks, quests, “resets”… everything is there. This RPG system is treated as a mental reality experienced by the hero—a way for him to cope and reassure himself. The presence of his father figure is also essential in the evolution of his “character sheet.” The outpost is not really an army base; it feels more like a friendly village where everyone depends on one another. Cohesion comes first. The drama deliberately highlights the positive side of military conscription—we are not in D.P. here. The war is not on the battlefield; it takes place in the kitchen. Cohesion around food strengthens camaraderie, and the show fully delivers on its feel-good promise. And to reinforce this concept, food becomes the catalyst for absurd moments: once the palate sends taste information to the brain, an explosion of flavors triggers hallucinations. A rice ball, for example, can spark a full boyband fantasy sequence featuring the Migak Boys’ entire music video.

Why do all these ingredients work so well and feel so appetizing? It mainly comes down to perfect synergy. This is a simple but enjoyable story, with a strong cast, sharp dialogue, and immediately lovable characters you can relate to. Above all, it highlights universally appealing themes: teamwork, camaraderie, motivation, selflessness, naïve optimism, and over-the-top absurd humor. Of course, this is not realism—we are dealing with a live-action adaptation of a webtoon. But does enjoying tasty dishes and sincere characters make us fools? I sincerely hope not. Cooking is a universal language, just like laughter, and both are appreciated in their own way. To spice things up, a subplot involving corruption in the supply chain adds a slightly darker note, showing the zealous behavior of certain higher-ranking officers. But overall, everyone remains well-meaning, with a paternal figure watching over the younger soldiers. Seong-Jae even gets his own awkward romantic moment with Jung Min-A (Jeon So-Young), a girl who has been in love with him since high school—without any manual on how to handle teasing from his comrades.

Of course, everything isn’t perfect: there is a slight dip in energy in one or two episodes. Some moments may feel repetitive, but the spirit remains intact and the simple lifestyle is respected. The pacing is generally solid, even if it slows slightly before the culinary competition finale. Everything is fairly predictable, but that is intentional within this “feel-good utopia”: this is not a harsh world, but one where taste and skill resolve problems instead of fists. This drama is aimed at a family audience, but not only them—everyone can enjoy it, feel emotions, and recharge their dopamine levels. Director Jo Nam-Hyung also shows growth here, serving up a satisfying dish after the excellent The Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938, which I also recommend. The adaptation of the webcomic—spanning nearly 200 chapters—is quite successful in tone and atmosphere. To be honest, without the “spicy” contributions of Yoon Kyung-Ho, Lee Sang-Yi, and Lee Hong-Nae (who is genuinely excellent), surrounding the very solid Park Ji-Hoon, the drama wouldn’t have had the same flavor. Without their punchlines, the recipe might have left a bitter aftertaste. Thanks to them, the emotional cooking ladle digs out the very best from the bottom of the pot.

Let’s move on to the bill—and rest assured, it won’t be too salty. If you accept the “set menu” formula and don’t try to over-analyze it, you’re in for a treat. Like a good ice cream, The Legend of Kitchen Soldier is a tasty, crunchy dessert—Cyril Lignac would approve. No need for Philippe Etchebest to restore order in the kitchen: Seong-Jae handles the mess hall like a true chef. The series whets your appetite from the very start, even throwing in a small twist in the penultimate episode to whip everything up right before the finale. It’s intense, joyful, and should be taken for what it is: excellent entertainment to enjoy with others. This accumulation of unlikely concepts works surprisingly well, mostly perfectly cooked with a touch of controlled madness. However, I did miss a bit more craziness, and the arc introduced around Captain Im Seung-Bin strangely fizzled out. But as someone not exactly skilled in cooking myself, I still enjoyed this gargantuan meal. (Private joke—this is for you Aude.)
The holographic interface still works, the ending is open… so, “Ready Player One”? And as they say: bon appétit, of course! (Joël Robuchon).
The references to the chefs are French of course :)

When Everyone Around has a bit of psychosis (even the "good" guys) so whodunnit is not a slam dunk

Review

My rating: 8.5/10

I really enjoyed Link: Eat, Love, Kill - it wasn't perfect but it was a solid watch. It’s a very good serial killer mystery that does a phenomenal job of making so many of the characters slightly psychotic. This made the “who could it be” aspect much more difficult, as I could genuinely see multiple people being capable of violent acts. This was often revealed in darkly humorous situations that fit the storyline perfectly. 

There are a couple of romances, including of course the main romance between Eun Gye-hoon (male lead) and Noh Da-hyun (main girl), and they all are paced believably and completely feasible. The show is exciting enough that I didn’t find any episodes unnecessary or boring. If you like murder mystery-type dramas, darker humor, and a darker overall tone—or if you’re a fan of either of the main actors or the supporting cast—you would enjoy this. It was well-acted and well-scripted, a really solid offering in this genre.

Spoilers

One of the things that bothered me the most was Noh Da-hyun’s (main girl) total lack of self-preservation. She knows she has a stalker/killer after her and she just walks down dark alleys completely oblivious. Her mother who is so concerned for her still just waits for her worried when simply sending someone to walk with her would have made anything bad happening less likely. It’s hard for me to buy that she would put herself in so many powerless situations all the time. Having a stalker is terrifying, wise people do not put themselves in situations where they could be alone with their nemesis, but she did it time ana again. Her lack of self preservation was further evident toward the end when she does get attacked by the killer, she’s not going full force, which doesn’t make any sense to me. She’s scared but she’s fighting for her life, so that was a little bit disappointing.

There were also quite a few storylines that were started and I didn’t feel were ever completely resolved, like around the stalker. One thing that was really confusing was how he kept gifting her that box with all these items in it, and then it turned out later one of the items was a scarf. Given his girlfriend (who he had more likely than not murdered), he never really got that direct tie. He just knew he was going out with her, said the weird thing to the sister about her not coming back, and then they find her body—but it never directly linked it to him. That left an open question of whether he did that and kept that souvenir from her like a killer keeps items of their victims. Were the rest of the items in that box souvenirs from other victims of his? Anyways, it just completely drops out as if it’s no big deal, and I felt like that was a huge deal. Wanted to see him at least questioned in that case (maybe they would have found out about other victims) but we never got that loop closed.

Then you have the killer guy. I realize they were little kids so they didn’t want to go into too much detail, but it wasn’t clear at all why he took the little kids in particular. Most serial killers pick a type of victim, but for him it was like little kids and then older people. Why those little kids specifically, or was it just any little kids? Did he just want to end somebody and little kids were easier victims? I mean, I know you can never fully know what a psycho’s true motivation is, but usually there’s at least somewhat of a psychological profile to it, and that was completely lacking. He wasn't accused of being a pedophile, didn't show him creeping around little kids, but they seemed to be implying he was—so was he a pedophile or a killer? It’s just weird that we didn’t know more. I know they were trying to carefully approach the subjects, but we never knew what really happened to the sister or what happened to the dad. Since they were buried near each other we can assume the dad discovered who it was and wound up getting killed himself. We never got to know how they ended, and that sounds morbid but you kind of want to know. It just is part of the overall profile of the killer—of how and why, some of their motivations—so that was frustrating.

It’s also hard coming from a culture where self-defense is an acceptable thing if you ever have to use force. It was hard to understand how the mother (Noh Da-hyun’s mom) was in so much trouble when she was not only defending her daughter (Noh Da-hyun) but she was also defending the police officer who was about to get shanked by a chisel. To me, it was proof that such laws are pretty ineffective because they were always disarming themselves with other things—which you would if you couldn’t use a knife or a gun, then you would find other things if you felt in peril, which is exactly what they were doing. So you don’t end people ending other people; you just change what they choose. I have watched a lot of true crime and I would be very concerned about hammers. So, the self-defense and what constituted a weapon were very much outside of my own culture.

If anything, I did like that surprise with Noh Da-hyun’s (main girl) mom’s husband—Noh Da-hyun’s dad obviously was abusive to her, and the grandmother chose to take her daughter-in-law as her daughter rather than maintain a super close relationship with her son. I thought that was very admirable of her.

Korean guilt is always a hard thing for me to process because they feel guilty about different things than we might. Like, I could understand Noh Da-hyun (main girl) feeling guilty for letting go of the sister's hand, but for anyone else to even minimally blame her for that—was weird. It looked like the sister deliberately shook her hand to break the grip. In any case they were children and who can judge what they do when they are running from a monster. Usually it’s self-blame, but others understand the circumstances. Same thing with the mother getting rid of the second kidnapper, she felt guilty over that. Like she should turn herself in. I mean it was a crime in her culture but I get the police officer's perspective. Since we do not know the motivation of the second kidnapper, maybe he was a pedophile so she Freddie Kruegered him. We just don't know. Eun Gye-hoon (male lead) was mad at her for not turning herself in because he felt like somehow that would’ve helped them find his sister, which really wasn’t true at all at that point. It was two separate things. And you had a mother who came upon a situation where someone had hurt her daughter. Of course she wasn't in her right mind.

With the older man that left main guy's twin sister in the road when she asked for help, I was just flabbergasted. Like, what crazy adult would ever leave a child who said to please help as they had a bad person chasing them? It just showed how many morally gray and downright psychotic people there were in that little town and that little community. I was glad she haunted him—if anything, he needed to be haunted even more. He should have had every child that died of such crimes haunting him. What he did was unimaginably horrible, and he was partially responsible for the murder.

I also found it extremely annoying just how many times they broke it off. One time was really frustrating because Eun Gye-hoon (male lead) had just said how he couldn’t live without her, then he finds out that the mom dispatched the other kidnapper and didn’t tell, which might’ve helped lead to the sister. I don’t know, but it was so weird because you would’ve thought they would understand that everybody in that situation was so dramatically affected. But it was another break up. She broke up with him before because seeing her knowing she let go of his sister's hand might be too painful for him. So, they broke up any time it got hard. It makes you wonder for their future. So, it chilled the romance a bit for me. I felt like that wasn't what defined this one as much or set it apart it was more the mystery and dark comedy. The whole link thing was weird too. A large portion of their reltationship she didn't know, or didn't believe, he could feel her emotions. So, it might it sort of a meaningless plot point. It was better when she could feel his emotions too. It was more important in the beginning.

Eun Gye-hoon’s (male lead) mom was just horrible. I didn’t find it excusable—she lost her child and then was such a cold, unfeeling person to her other child. It made no sense, and she blamed him and treated him horribly because his sister had passed. He was a child, a little kid—it was not his responsibility to look after his younger sister to that level. I mean, he was the sibling; siblings fight all the time and go and do things. My older sister made it a point to ditch me. So I never found her a redeemable character. I was glad she came back around eventually, but I was still like, lady, you’ve got a lot of making up to do. You were completely cold and horrible, and all the emotional damage your son experienced was because of you.

I was also very disappointed because with it in the title, I thought there would be more about the restaurant and the food and preparing the food, but that was such a background part of everything. It was this restaurant that always seemed on the verge of opening. I was like, oh come on, open already. Thankfully we did eventually get to see it open, but it was weird because it seemed like it should’ve been a bigger part of the story and it just wasn’t. Also, with the son-in-law that knew how to cook, I thought it was weird that he didn’t teach his future mother-in-law how to cook better. She could’ve had a Korean restaurant across from his very successful European restaurant. It would’ve actually helped both businesses and it would’ve insured a better livelihood for his mother instead of her seeming like she was gonna rely on her daughter for financial support. I mean, fair, but at the same time, why not have two successful ones?

Overall, still a very enjoyable watch despite these frustrations!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
