As most reviews point out, the casting and their performances are great but the writing/story gets boring easily, or at least when it comes to the main couple. It's almost completely 16 episodes of push and pull. Some people think that's cute or keeps the tension alive, but it still feels dragged. While the reasons for the push and pull make sense, I can't say I feel satisfied with how it was executed.

The male lead was way random at times. At times he seemed to have matured from his past irresponsible chaebol upbringing but at other times he regressed back to them. He took too long to figure things out and act responsibly. On the contrary, his brother was much faster about things and from the moment he realized his feelings, he revealed them and was consistent about it. The male lead dragged some issues too long and lead on two people in the process for longer than he should have which created several problems between all three of them and the people around them, for the wrong reasons.

The premise was ok but the execution was not. I'd have liked the story better if it had progressed a different way that resolved some issues earlier and left others for the latter part, than drag on both till the very end and have abrupt resolutions to them without any aftermath which felt like a half-assed approach.

I know it all sounds very vague, but i didn't want to spoil specific details about this for anyone willing to watch it.

The setting in Jeju and the premise of a chaebol turned Chef and a good one at that, was a good one. It could have been a much more interesting drama had it progressed differently.
