Well, this was bad, really really bad. A train wreck! I wish someone would explain to me how is it possible that this load of nonsense is so highly rated? I truly do not understand!

The premise is interesting. And that's where everything stops and goes awry. A chef wants to sell his restaurant in order to pay for his mentor's medical bills. In order to ensure that the restaurant goes into worthy (i.e. cooking loving) hands, he organizes a competition along the lines of Top Chef where the wannabee buyers need to show their skills. One of those is a cocky, completely incompetent, debt ridden aspiring model (because it is easy, he says!) working in secret for the chef's mortal enemy.

What I liked:
- the actor playing the chef: handsome and calm
- the second couple's bickering romance
- the way they filmed rare scenes of food preparation and presentation: the series director must have already filmed food.
And that's it for the good!

Everything else is the bad!

- the plot is illogical:
1. competition to find a buyer over several weeks. Wouldn't it be easier to sell it to the highest (or the second-highest bidder) if you are in dire need of funds? Why go this complicated route if you want to avoid your mortal enemy? What will stop the next owner to sell it to the mortal enemy?
2. the "aspiring model" with great eating skills, but zero looks and cooking skills, becomes a good cook in a few weeks. On which planet?
3. the love quadrangle between the main couple, one ex girlfriend and a sous chef!
4. can you really run a big gourmet restaurant with only four people?
5. are they going to end every BL now with the wedding?
etc. etc. etc.....

- a total lack of acting skills across the board. Not a single "actor" showed a sliver of talent. One was handsome, one was cute and the rest...I'd rather not mention them!

- styling: the model/eater's hair was something nightmares are made of. There were not two strands of hair that were of the same length, the fringe half covered his eyes. The chef was the only one consistently dressed well. The rest were awful but the worst was the mortal enemy i.e. the rich businessman dressed like a cliché mobster.

- no chemistry to speak of in spite of a lot of making out mainly on kitchen tops (the actors went at it with gusto!).

- the "model's" manager is a cliché femgay. Really?!? Again?!? Is every actor's manager/agent in Thailand either femgay or trans??? That's what every BL makes us believe!

I finished it although I still do not know why...probably I just could not believe what my eyes were seeing, how bad it was, thus hoping against the hope that it would get better. It did not.....
