I don't know why...and i can't possibly begin to justify to myself why this has me on such a chokehold. It's not perfect, that would be ridiculous considering its low budget and the general lack of perfection in all things human made, but i just can't see any flows in it.

The acting, especially Gong Jun's ...woow...sublime. I was smitten from the moment i saw him. His flirting, his grace, his perseverance and his dressing as Wen Ke Xing....it was.....guuuuh. I watched this a year or so ago and i am still hooked. In the words of today's generation, Jun and Zhehan cooked, served and ATE!

I am not in the habit of making reviews because i rarely care enough to (a bad habit of mine) but i was rematching this for the nth time and decided to gush about it because unless this has an overall rating of at least 9.5...i feel it's underrated.

So of you haven't watched this....i don't know what purpose you could possibly have to live on🥺
