TVB rarely puts out dramas related to food themes, and even less in the food costume category

Probably the last impressive one was Golden Lotus Yum Yum

Though there's been a big change in this touring drama, I'm still looking forward to it for the old watch team.

Wang Zulan is becoming more and more like Zhang Weijian. And he has always been a comedian, in this drama, he has a rare episode of bitter feelings, when Nian Jie Yao broke up Tian Bao and Ruo Bi, Tian Bao's bitter, ah, acting is too good.

The first half of the movie was good, but the second half was not. Overall, it's not as good as Kim Yoo Man Tong.

1) Where is the food? I've been talking about food for a while now, but there's very little in the way of close-ups of the food, and after watching the entire series, the viewer is probably just curious about what a salted fish bun tastes like. For the other dishes, there is no impression at all.

②Plot Bugs

The plot is divided into two main lines, one with Gao Tianbao's life in the kitchen of the palace as a royal chef, and the other one is the struggle between the four masters and the eight masters' party. Later on, when Ruobi entered the palace, there was an additional line of palace struggle with Erfei playing the role of the Empress Dowager covering up for her. It can also be divided according to before and after Kang Xi's death.

Because it is a drama, so there are many inconsistent with the history of the place, but also to see a hilarious. Borscht, for example, was created by Gao Tianbao, and all this is unique to Hong Kong people's humor.

But of the three antennae, except for the kitchen life dominated by Gao Tianbao, which is ok, the latter two are very weak.

Even the kitchen line has a lot of problems. Both lines set up a high person. The kitchen line is Master of Five Flavors, and I thought there would be something for setting up this character, but it turns out there's not even a contest. Saying that he abandoned his wife for the woman he likes is even more far-fetched bullshit. It's not as important as Wu Sidao's role as a high ranking person in the political line.

And with Zhang Weijian, Stephen Chow type of minor character portrayal are growing up inspirational history is different, this drama did not write about how his cooking skills how to improve, only said successively worshipped the small fish and five flavors of the master as a teacher. In his many thrilling experiences with the Fourth Master, Gao Tianbao has come out on top every time, as if it was just a fluke many times.

In addition, the beginning of the mention of Gao Tianbao's father unfortunately sent to the frontier or imprisoned, Gao Tianbao thought to be in the future out of the world, about this has not been mentioned. At first I thought, Gao Tianbao is the Dai family descendant, equal to and the fourth master became a rival, and then finally forgive him, how the ground. Who knows in the end is the Dai family descendant is Ah Xue ==

Palace fighting plot is even more retarded, Er Fei casually buy a eunuch can do anything, the empress dowager was blinded, mixed up.

Bob played a handful of small dishes is very colorful, natural and do not make.

And although Zhang Jicong has proved his acting skills through this drama, he is really not suited to play the mild-mannered eighth master. The trait of portraying a character with a gangly demeanor seems to have been stereotyped.

Ninth Brother is really poorly acted and has a lot of drama, this might as well be played by Gao Junxian, or the veteran greenhorn Zhang Hanbin who plays Zeng Sheng.

The climax of the last three episodes can already be guessed. Ah Xue ironically didn't die. Master Eight fails in the end. Tian Bao is undercover again. The reversal episodes are pretty weak.

The end of the last, probably the writers thought, the whole drama, although because of food as slaves, but there is not a good purpose, so the last Yongzheng said, governing the country as cooking, to reform and innovation. Very retarded

And "accompanying the king like a tiger" is a common theme in every palace drama. So it's no wonder that in the end, Gao Tianbao quit his job at the imperial kitchen and chose to go to Jiangnan to escape.

3) Emotional line

This part of the design is not bad, Ah Xue and Ruo Bi are both bitter women, both are the victims of men's political struggle.
