Jin Jin Jin is an aspiring chef with big dreams. Compared to An Wen Yu who craves for perfection and exercises discipline, Jin Jin Jin is the easygoing type. Their meeting brings together a fiery cook off and a blossoming romance.

Lu Yi (Spy Hunter) plays An Wen Yu, the overly meticulous perfectionist head chef and arrogant teacher who’s actually quite childish despite his achievements. Amber Kuo (The Great Expectations) plays Jin Jin Jin, a quirky personality who cooks with her heart. She’s a sketch artist who draws better than she cooks and causes more troubles that she solves.

I definitely feel like I’ve heard this story before. A chef losing his sense of taste, check. Polar opposites falling in a love over their passion for food, check. It seems that cooking dramas tend to play with the same tropes and this one hits the main ones. With Aaron Yan rounding up what seems to be a love triangle, I’d probably get hit with a strong case of second lead syndrome too. 
 
Release Date: September 10, 2019 Jiangsu TV, iQIYI and Tencent (two episodes at 10pm)
