It's perfect for the time it had!

I think this drama deserves a higher score than it did, especially when compared to the very recent reseased "Cherry Blossoms after Winter". I honestly don't understand why it's score isn't higher, and here's why:

Music: This show had really smooth production for the time and genre it had. Usually a lot of Korean BL's are under funded, which means they lack in music, some nice camera shots or angles, extra takes etc. This drama had really nice music that I even caught myself humming to (which happens so rare for me, cause either the hits are in english or really bad quality) but ma boo (song title), were these ones nice. There also weren't many long moments with no music that's common in BL's, at the moments it needed there was music, when it wasn't necessary, there wasn't! Overall, I was so surprised by the music in this!

Story: The episodes were extremely short, even for the regular Korean BL standards, being barely 10-15 min each episode. But for the time it had, I thought it was very balanced. It started off a bit slow, gave enough time for main AND side characters (the cute assistant chefs, business lady all had a personality and that was highly appreciated). It had a "issue" (cause all drama's need drama) and it was resolved within the alloted time. Honestly, they gave just enough for everything, and the best part of it all, they actually made us see their professions! Instead of just using it for some "background info", we got beautiful shots of cooking, eating, people peeling and cutting shit, etc. For me that was really important. The relationship between the leads also developed quite naturally and evenly, it wasn't a sudden "I love you, can't live without you", but more of just a slow from dislike - to you're ok - to I like your company. Ticked all boxes in my own personal list.

Acting: I thought acting was also on par, one is an easy going slightly arrogant chef, the other a more reserved, slightly threatened chef. People saying this is just two hot guys and that that's all this drama is good for, but almost all BL's and Korean drama's give blatant fan service (cause yes, this is aimed at girls). Compared to others, we didn't get unneccessary over-sexualization, no wild make out sessions, even when one actor was shirtless, the other one wasn't as it wasn't their characters personality. And if the fact that the two actors are good looking makes you look down on their effort in acting, well then that's just being prejudiced about looks. The way they looked at each other, interacted with each other seemed very natural, not too forced. Not all love stories require a love or die type of romance. Sometimes it's just a warm cozy feeling :)

I really really enjoyed this. I'd place this in my top BL's with Semantic Error, Bad Buddy, 2gether, To my star and We are Best. It's a very short, sweet, not overcomplicated watch. If that's what you're into, give it a try ;)
