Thailand gave us Korean style slowly simmering ultra soft and sweet BL only at a Thai length so the pacing was... not good. Slower than molasses and full of insane subtext, long gazes, missing dialogue, abrupt mood swings, and one very pretty kiss.

It curdled around episode 8, the sauce split, and there was no saving it.

It did have some of the best food porn I’ve seen in my life, and I watch cooking shows. It was beautiful, the leads were decent, it should have right up my alley, and yet... it left me with a feeling of disaffected ennui - bland and boring and unsatisfying.

11 courses of tasty tasty pacing issues.

SERIOUSLY FLAWED BUT RECOMMENDED WITH... RESERVATIONS...

(reservations... restaurant set BL.... GET IT? Ha.... Ha....zzzzzz)
