After the fourth episode the viewership rose from 4.8 % to 11.06%. Every episode has a new dish prepared by the ace Chef & the story or the emotion behind it so well described.
Im Yoon ah & Lee Chae min are superb. I mean with their age difference, they should never have been cast but they look good together. But of course he has the over possessive Kang Mok ju, a long term concubine.
Kang Han na is fit in the role. She has this slight negative shade to her roles, where she stands out, always. ‘Moon Lovers : Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ 2016, ‘Rain or Shine’ 2017, ‘Familiar Wife’ 2018, ‘Start Up’ 2020, ‘My Roommate is a Gumiho’ 2021.
I have seen them all. Up against the lead actress she can shine more & we do remember her long after the drama ends.
Seo Yi sook as the Grand Queen Dowager In ju. She also often has a negative shade to her character. Here, she is responsible for the King Yi Heon’ s mother ‘s death.
‘The Heirs’2013, ‘Empress Ki’ 2013-14, ‘Hotel del Luna’ 2019, ‘Do do sol Sol La La Sol’ 2020, ‘Start Up’ & ‘The World of the Married’ 2020, ‘Under the Queen ‘s Umbrella’ & ‘Shooting Stars’ 2022, ‘The Good Bad Mother’ 2023, ‘Knight Flower’ 2024, ‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ 2025.
In every role she leaves a distinct mark. Being able to be part of many prestigious dramas, she has won a lot of awards too. From her first ‘Best New actor Award’ in 1986, she never looked back.
The drama is good & keeps you engaged easily.
