Well it's indeed a good watch.
I am still new to Cdrama and 24 episodes sometimes feel like drag but this one was perfect.
The first half of the story I enjoyed a lot.
I loved the charecter development of the Leads and the supporting characters. The makers truely paid attention to the story of the supporting roles.
Now come to the leads -
Zhou Lusi (Gu Shengnan) -
Omg she is such a cutie and ofcourse a talented actor. I felt that she is the perfect Gu Shengnan. The quirky, ambitious chef with a soft heart and a cute smile, she just outdid the role.
Lu Jin-
He is perfect too. He is a businessman and he was expected to behave the way he did. He fell for her and cherished her deeply. The love from his side was so mature that none of the external things could actually move him away from her..

Also the Food prep scenes were paid actors which kept me hooked to this drama.

Well I gave it an 8 allover because I was somewhat fast forwarding in the second half. Shengnan falling for Lu Jin's brother's tricks bored me.

It's indeed a CEO romance but it's not super cringe, instead the makers showed that the same genre can be represented with different approach.
Go for it, you won't regret for sure.
