Disappointed
Tried of remakes of same scenarios, and always show weak females who always seem so desperate for a man . Even in this drama FL is younger and more attractive than the ML, but she is still putting up with a lot of crap from him and his secretary. Rather than a young man who clearly seems to care for her without all the baggage , including his domineering mother. Why do they show Chinese women who can’t stand up for themselves and can’t move on when things are not good for them. I starting to leave C dramas, because it’s clear the writers don’t like or respect womenEsta resenha foi útil para você?
Worth Watching If You are Bored To Death
I was doubting at first if I would watch this but eventually I did. I have no regrets as it kept me entertained. The first few episodes were interesting and funny but the story arch goes down as it proceeds. Nevertheless, it's still entertaining and I am not thinking of dropping it very soon unlike the other Chinese dramas I watched and dropped in the middle.The acting was spectacular. This is the first series I saw Rosy and the guy. I would say they caught my attention! I dont mind the age gap cause they f*cking look good together! seriously speaking I love their chemistry.

Another Go To Drama
I am new to Asian Drama and this one has been added to my go to list. I love the build up between the main actors. The comedic parts keeps me laughing. I see similarities in the diff dramas but if the writing, production and actors are good I am going to watch it. I am addicted to watching this drama and I hate that I have to wait several days before I can see the English episodes. But I appreciate that I am able to watch and enjoy the drama with English subtitles. THIS IS A GOOD DRAMA. LOVING IT😁😍. LOOKING FORWARD TO EP6 AND THE OTHERS. SO GOOD. THE COOKING PART IS WONDERFUL AND GREAT ATTENTION GETTER.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Too silly
ML is way too silly in the way he chases the girl. Sorry I can take it for 1 hr, 2 hr and even 3 hrs. But 9 episodes in, I am sick and tired of his silliness. This is like watching a Stephen Chow movie non-stop for hours and hours. After a way, you just get tired of it.Love the FL. She's like the moon and stars to me.
I was looking through list of other TV shows the FL has done. And sadly, most of them are all silly. I did watch Romance of Tiger and Rose and enjoyed it. Although the end was kind of boring. But I remember it was quite fun and funny.

Sweet and adorable .... not to mention alot of yummy food! :D
This series is absolutely incredibly cute and awesome! Other than the food always making me extremely hungry, the story line is not bad - quite alright actually. And of course.. Zhao Lu Si did a wonderful performance (as usual) with her adorable cheeky and funny ways. Both the Male and Female Lead are quite good together, their chemistry is very nice and sweet to watch, the hesitance and unsureness of the Male Lead about his feelings for the Female lead is quite interesting to watch and very adorable seeing how he tries to protect her in his unsure way of expressing his feelings.It is actually a nice short series, very light with humour and alot of yummy food to watch.... you probably can catch a few methods of how to cook some of the dishes. Makes me hungry watching sometimes :D
The songs are also nicely paired with the show. I really love some of the songs. Rewatch value, for me, definitely worth watching a couple more times.

excellent chemistry annoying slow plot line.
the chemistry between the leads was excellent. The plot was pretty annoying. Too many cliched misunderstandings, pouting, and elders acting like controlling psychos. I ended up fast forwarding through swathes of it. but I really loved the male lead espec he could pretty much act without even saying a word his face was so expressive. I found the pacing very irritating. they get together then it just goes nowhere. and the female lead acts like a toddler a lot. at this point I’m just trying to make the 500 word minimum in order to submit this.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
I loved it
I discovered the series by chance and I was so excited that I finished watching it in a few days. I love series with older versus younger ones. And the couple was so cute to melt away. I think, I will rewatch it in a few month.The music at the beginning and ending of an episode was very beautiful.
The actors fit together very well. I found the "uncle" really funny. I also had to laugh in other scenes.
I will look for other series with these two actors in the future and also watch them.
Is there anyone here in the forum who knows other series with older and younger lead actors?

The OTP was so strong it carried me through the one significant problem I had with the drama, which is simply that it was four episodes too long. Had this been 20 instead of 24, I probably would have scored at 8.5 or 9 because especially the first 10 episodes were just outstanding. It revived my faith in the entertainment potential of C dramas and confirmed that Romcom tropes can still work with the right combination of cast writing performance and chemistry. This kitchen based romcom had all the right ingredients and blended them to perfection. It was just a touch overdone.

A really nice drama to watch in your free time.
If you like some good comedy and romance this drama is for you.There were scenes that could make you go full on laughing and others that were really cute. Both leads were hilarious but supper sweet at times. Their age gap was refreshing to see. Something that isn't too often shown in dramas. FL was mature enough when needed and ML was able to become more free and childish (not to say they were childish) under her influence. Nice chemistry between those two. Watching their sweet moments made me feel like i am watching something private that's not meant for my eyes. It was really cute and sweet. I only wish there were more moments like that but when they came it made it up for the ones i wish it had.
But i feel like i should give out a warning - Food scenes will make you go hungry. Watch at your own risk...
All that aside i absolutely recommend you watching this drama. Sweet, funny and entertaining what more could you ask for?!

I also want to find a boyfriend who is a CEO like Lu Jin :')
I like the simple and warm storyline even though the age gap between the female lead and male lead is quite big, and i like how the writer makes Lu Jin (Lin Shen) a warm, clumsy CEO who really appreciates Gu Shengnan's hard work and sincerely loved Gu Shengnan's cooking. Thank you for not making Lu Jin the typical CEO character in dramas who is cold, possessive, or domineering.The writer also created Gu Shengnan's (Zhao Lusi) character quite well. Thankfully, they didn't make Gu Shengnan a careless or clumsy girl, instead they made Shengnan a poor girl who had a bright personality, energetic, dared to stand up for herself, and had recognized cooking skills. Shengnan is quite a strong character even though she's much younger than Lu Jin. Of course, there are several scenes where the writer shows Gu Shengnan's childish nature to make it look more realistic and show how different the attitudes and thoughts of someone who is still in their early 20s and someone who has entered their late 30s are.
In terms of production, I'm quite satisfied. It's just that sometimes I think the second couple's love story doesn't need to be given a long broadcast slot, sometimes I just skip it haha.
When it comes to acting, I'm satisfied with Zhao Lusi and Lin Shen's acting. They were able to portray their respective characters and successfully convey to the audience that dating with a big age gap will feel a lot of difference because the mindset between those who are just adults and those who are already matures is definitely quite influential in everyday life.

Older Men are in
So I'll be honest. I was a little uncomfortable with the age gap when I first read the synopsis, but I watched it anyways for Zhao Lu Si. She is so cute and has had great chemistry with her other partners in other dramas. In the end, I decided to give this drama a go and hope for the best. The minute the male lead comes in, my heart DROPS. He is so handsome, and very very much my kind of older guy. The age gap isn't overwhelming and the chemistry between the leads was ... radiating. Wow... The chemistry was off the charts. I loved the male lead. He was so loyal to the FL during the whole entire drama. I guess that's the best part about being older and more secure in your career. He doesn't feel swayed by the opinions of his mother or secretary. Lu Si's character was the epitome of young, but she always plays her characters well. I love her acting, especially when she cries... my heart just criiiieeees. I really recommend this drama for anyone bored and single.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Ne ho iniziato la visione proprio perchè in molti decantavano la sua attenzione alla cucina ma non nascondo che ero scettica a riguardo poichè nella maggior parte dei drama il lavoro/passione delle protagoniste viene soventemente messo in secondo piano man mano che si va avanti con la storia. Qui invece è il fulcro di tutto, il nucleo attorno a cui ruotano i protagonisti, il motivo che li fa avvicinare e che piano piano li accomuna sempre di più.
Ho amato le scene culinarie, al limite di un masterchef, una gara continua per la protagonista con se stessa e con gli altri vista la sua giovane età rispetto ai compari. A mio papere non poteva essere interpretata da miglior attrice.
Come detto prima abbiamo un age gape, in questo caso è ML a essere molto più grande di FL e solitamente non è di mia comfort zone questa cosa ma qui hanno talmente bene il loro lavoro che non mi ha dato per nulla fastidio, anzi mi son sentita cullata in esso. ML mi è piaciuto molto. Ho apprezzato anche che il fattore divario di età fosse tenuto conto da parte dei personaggi e quindi affrontato.
Forse forse disguido un poco sul finale, ma il resto è veramente bello.
