chef’s kiss

another capable fl and her yearner bf, we love to see

lowkey got kinda winded bc wdym i was reading a cute, light hearted love story in a modern setting one second then boom! deep, traumatic, tragic joseon era love story in the next??? like, what is this? dawn of the dragon? anw 10/10 kinda horny but would recommend

we love loveee a brave, competent fl but oh my god i can feel riftan’s frustration every time maxi puts herself in harm’s way. i’m so conflicted bc on one hand, i know her story, i know her worries and i know she’s just thinking of what’s best for everyone but on the other, i could feel riftan’s stress when his beloved wife disguises herself as a cleric and charges headfirst into a LITERAL battlefield. anw, 10/10 omg i’m so gonna reread this again.

art is sublimeee, tyrant & “villainess” trope, we love to see. but omg where is the fl’s waist holy shit it shrinks bit by bit every chapter

i’m just starting to read it but holy shittt the art is gorgeous and the plot is so interesting :0 makes me wanna also pick up a brush again

my favorite among all BWAT works, i’m so grateful for the alternate ending bc the original would’ve depressed me tremendously

100% will reread, finished fairly quick for a historical shoujo esp one with this much lore. where did the baby go tho lol

first time shifting povs from one ml to another but it’s fine. also i like hyunjin as a character smmm, i thought he was gonna be stereotypical but nope. chanyoung being an out of shape (?) introvert was also unexpected lol. very expectation vs reality couple

food manhwa w/ good art, yes. and while i understand the author had health issues wc led to the ending being rushed, i’m still so disappointed. what happened to felix’s revenge, the pretty boy duke, her house, the revenge, the punishing of the stepmom, the reclaiming of the throne & bettering the lives of the people, the revenge??? bitin asf

peak childhood friends to lovers story
