So Far, Most Re-watchable JDrama BL I've Seen
I've spent at least 6 hours of my life re-watching this drama! From Michieda Shunsuke's (Aoki) amazing facial expressions, to Fukomoto Riko's (Hashimoto) charming personality (definitely a scene stealer, it's so nice to see a strong female character like her), to Meguru Ren's (Ida) handsome face, this show finds itself ranking at the top of my list for 2021 BL's. Not to mention Suzuki Jin's (Akkun) acting - seeing him go from his more 'serious' role in Given earlier this year to something more lighthearted is a little head spinning; he has amazing range!As for the plot, there are some twists and turns in the first few episodes that had me cracking up and itching for the next episode to hurry up!
All in all, so far it's been an amazing experience to watch this show!

Gross. げろげろ. 역겨운. ปฏิกูล.
How many languages should I use to describe the disgusting plot of this show?I feel like this show was written in 1950; homophobia 'solved' by finding a loophole around having a baby, pressuring a young gay man into sleeping with a woman because of homophobia, blatant misogyny never being fixed or even really called out., etc.
The man straight up brainwashed his son and never apologized or seemed to repent.
I legit am questioning if GMMTV are even truly allies after making the choice to pick up this novel and turn it into a show. Who greenlit this??
The only reason I can justify even giving it one star (other than the website making it necessary to leave one for the review) is that I love Khaotung with my whole entire heart. I feel genuinely bad that he was involved in this show.

Feel Like I'm Missing Something
I'm not sure if there were a few moments I didn't understand right, but I personally felt that the plot was confusing at times. I also felt that the couple didn't actually like each other until halfway through episode 8 or so. Looking back on it I can see that the chef was holding himself back a lot (not sure why exactly, as the plot doesn't delve too deep into what I can assume is abandonment issues), so with that in hindsight I understand the chemistry a little bit more. But still, I personally feel that this show is a bit overhyped. The entire cast were very likeable, so that's a saving grace here!I would only recommend this drama if you're just looking for something short to watch that doesn't take too much brain power to focus on. Or if you like handsome men and don't care too much about being a little underwhelmed.
