    BL Chef's Kiss

    This series is a breath of fresh air! It has all the key components with a dazzling and animated cast who have the perfect chemistry for this fun plot. The first episode was absolutely hilarious, and I found myself totally engrossed in the little details of the characters and their unfolding story. The wit of the script is palpable and there were a few times, I thought to myself that this writing was perfect. I really enjoyed each character, and although a very short series it managed to keep me fully invested until the end. This is now one of my favourites and I will definitely watch the Crank Out Edition as well as put this on my re-watch list! Highly recommend this feel good series! Enjoy!
