I wanted to love this drama so much. The chemistry and love and understanding between the leads was exceptional, ost and bgm was nice, the brotherhood between the two male leads was lovely, all cooking and food scenes were very well done.
So many good things about the show, then why 4/10 ? Because the annoying parts are so annoying that they overshadow all the good stuff about this.
Been through 100's of shows and kdramas, and I don't remember when was the last time I was so literally pissed off by lousy writing and characters. This was the most shallow, cheap and ridiculous FL leads family in a kdrama. Hands down, nothing comes close to this. They were more evil than the actual antagonists of the show. ML gives work to 3 of her family members when they needed most, he trusts them blindly, but they lie to him throughout the show, not once they're sorry or guilty towards him, and above all they keep ridiculing him at every chance they get, they are ready to betray him at any moment, if it wasn't for the FL and constant begging and pleading of the ML, they would've faster than the particles in LHC. Everytime FL mom came on screen I wanted the earth to crack upon and swallow her. That Aunt was dating literally a thug but had the balls to ridicule ML for dating FL and not being good enough for her. I get these overbearing parents trope kdramas, but here the writer took it way too far, way too much that it can't be ignored.
The writing was so poor with these characters and sub plot. And the writers completely forgot the ex wife of ML, like not even a mention after the initial first few episodes. It's an issue because she was one of the core reason for everything that happened to ML and the main revenge plot of the show. But writers just forgot her completely.
It would have been a great show, an easy 8+. But the lousy writing ruined it. The lead pair did such amazing job and carried the show throughout. I almost gave up this show several times, but somehow managed to pull through just to see the leads ending happily.
