Have you guys ever had a craving for street food? You know its not good, you know you might get stomach issues eating that but you don't care ..you go ahead and indulge yourself..give in to that craving and enjoy without thinking about the consequences because it makes you feel so good at that moment? La Cusine is that street food..it's my guilty pleasure..I know there’s nothing much happening in terms of plot, i know the acting is not always good, the last few episodes are ridiculous, there is cringe, there are awkward moments, characters getting more screentime than required, fillers and so many other issues...but do I care ? Not at all...reason : just one and only one:
Lukchup and Ram togehter are so adorable and their cute chemistry is so charming that when I sit and watch them it actually uplifts my mood..they have such a healthy relationship with the least amount of toxicity..watching their relationship progress is a delight in its own .i found my stress melting away just looking at them.. there was an entire episode dedicated to them just going and hanging out at the mall..that's it..but did i love it ...absolutely..i could have watched another one hour of them hanging out at that mall just having fun..
Although the last 3 episodes are poorly written and the whole NamNing thing where the makers want us to sympathize with her is just ridiculous…and the whole arc of her with the gun etc was just downright terrible.. the narrative just stumbles at the end and the show compromises on its greatest strength ( the cute moments between its 2 leads) to create unnecessary drama. Let me say something – mental issues or childhood traumas should not be used as an excuse for bad behaviour…and criminal acts should be dealt strictly and the perpetrators of such acts should not be shown in a sympathetic light ..series and films need to stop doing this..it sends a bad message..
But the first 7 to 8 episodes are a delight to watch and I would still recommend it for Lukchup and Ram and their cuteness …watch without expecting much and without being too critical and chances are you might end up enjoying this way more than you thought you would !!! this is a perfect example of fluff done well!!
